Unable to Compile

Kartic · Post by **Kartic** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 3:55 pm

We are trying to upgrade our system from "TeeChart for .NET v2 Evaluation" to "Final Release" which is "TeeChart for .NET v2". TeeChart.dll version number is "2.0.2179.21172".
We are not able to compile with the final release. We are getting the following error while compiling.

Error 1 The "GenerateResource" task failed unexpectedly.
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Type in the data at line 228, position 5, cannot be loaded because it threw the following exception during construction: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'Steema.TeeChart.Styles.StringList'. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Type in the data at line 228, position 5, cannot be loaded because it threw the following exception during construction: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'Steema.TeeChart.Styles.StringList'.

Please help me solving this proble.
I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks, Kartic

Hi Kartic,

Can you please have a look at this forums thread, which is about the same issue, to see if it helps solving your problem.

Error does not indicate in which form the error exists.
Even if I add a new Tee chart to a new form, I cannot open a old form with TeeChart, or compile my project.

It is failing to execute "GenerateResource" in Microsoft.Common.targets

Hello Kartic,

If you would be so kind, we are going to need your help to be able to track this issue down.

From which version of TeeChart for .NET were you upgrading? Could you please try creating a new VS2003 WinForm project and adding a TeeChart for .NET control (your original, older version) to it and then add a series to the chart using the chart editor. If you now upgrade this project to VS2005 and the latest version of TeeChart for .NET, can you reproduce this error?

I believe this error is due to a line of code that is automatically written into the InitializeComponent() method of the WinForm by older versions of TeeChart.
