AccessViolationException in Graphics3DGdiPlus class.

[WD_Gordon]

Hi,

I randomly get an AccessViolationException in the Graphics3DGdiPlus class in the method ClipRectangle when SetClipRegion(new Region(CorrectRectangle(r))) is called.

Here is the exception:

System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
Message="Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
Source="System.Drawing"

Would you have any idea why this is happening? I am running a C# app on XP.

Thanks,

Just to add to this. I made some changes and I am still getting AccessViolationException errors but in another area. I am creating an empty candle chart, meaning no data. I pass in data, adding a candle and in the BeforeDrawSeries event I have code as follows:

Code: Select all

pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Custom;
pen.DashPattern = new float[] { 2.0F, 6.0F, 4.0F };

path.AddLine(this.tChart1.Axes.Bottom.CalcPosValue(this.tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Minimum),
	this.tChart1.Axes.Right.CalcPosValue(this.currentPrice),
        this.tChart1.Axes.Bottom.CalcPosValue(this.tChart1.Axes.Bottom.Maximum),
        this.tChart1.Axes.Right.CalcPosValue(this.currentPrice));

g.DrawPath(pen, path);

When DrawPath is called that is when I get AccessViolationExceptions. I tried adding this code to the AfterDraw event but I still get it. It seems to be a timing issue because it doesn't happen everytime.

Hi Kevin,

Could you please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here and let us know the TeeChart version you are using?

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

Thanks in advance.
