crash when adding 'random' points to a tower series

Env.: TChart 3.5 / VS 2008 / .NET 2.0

Hi,

I'm adding points on the fly to a tower series. I experience crashes (NullReferenceExceptions when the chart is redrawn after point addition). It looks like it happens when points are not grouped on the X,Z plan.

Increasing NumXValues and NumZValues didn't help.
Setting IrregularGrid= true didn't help neither.

I could simulate the problem in a new project by siply creating a chart with a tower series and adding 2 points such as (40,1,15) and (30,1,20).

The only way I can workaround it is by pre-adding all possible points (41x41) with a value 0. Not ideal though because not all points are suppose to have a value.

Did I miss the obvious again? Thanks in advance for your help.

Serge.

Hi Serge,

First of all please notice that such series work as described here.

Having said that, code below works fine for me here. Could you please modify it or send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You may post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Code: Select all

		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			InitializeChart();
		}

		private Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Tower tower1;

		private void InitializeChart()
		{
			tower1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Tower(tChart1.Chart);
			tower1.IrregularGrid = true;
			Random y = new Random();

			for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
			{
				for (int z = 0; z < 10; z++)
				{
					if (z != 5)
					{
						tower1.Add(x, y.Next(), z);
					}
					
				}
			}

			this.button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);
		}

		void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			tower1.Add(1, 1, 5);
		}
Thanks in advance.

Narcís,
First of all please notice that such series work as described here.
You linked to the search page !?

I uploaded a test project (testchart.zip. Contains source + exe) where I add 5 points to the chart, which seems enough to crash it (as opposed to only 2 points as I wrote earlier. It looks like the chart survives longer with IrregularGrid=true. Not much longer though!)

TIA,
Serge.

Sorry, I had a lapsus and copied the wrong text :?. I wanted to post this thread:

Thanks. The problem is reproducible with the TeeChart version you use but fine for me here using latest TeeChart for .NET v3 maintenance release available at the client area. Could you please check if it solves the problem for you?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcís,

I've upgraded to the latest version. It does indeed seem to solve the problem for the test project but the problem still occurs in my real project where there are more points.

I'll do my best to reproduce the problem in the test project. In the mean time, here's the call stack when the problem occurs:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi Serge,

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it would be very helpful if you could send us an example project with which we can reproduce the issue here and debug it.

Thanks in advance.
