TChart .NET Error

[Mark]

Hello,

I am getting an infrequent error using TChart .NET and the fastline series. I am plotting up to 8 fastline series elements on the chart, and sometimes get an error message that generates a red-X through the TChart control. I captured the .NET error info but cannot seem to make sense of it. Like I said, this error happens infrequently and I do have considerable error trapping (i.e. try/catch) around the plotting method.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

Hi Mark,

Could you please be more specific and tell us the instructions to reproduce this problem? Or could you better send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You can post your files at [url]news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments[/url] newsgroup.

Narcis,

This is not so easy as the code requires many pieces of hardware to operate correctly. What I can tell you is that the chart is configured with eight (8) fastline series, each getting 10,000 points. I have varied the number of points for all series from 1000 to 10000 and still receive the error. This error is very infrequent, sometimes taking days to occur.

//Plot the UTV trace (if enabled)
try
{
if (bPlotUtv == true && iSeriesCntr < tChart1.Series.Count)
{
float fUtvScale = -(utv.fYMax - utv.fYMin) / utv.iHeight;
tChart1.Series[iSeriesCntr].Clear();
if (utv.iHeight <= 200)
{
for (int i=0; i < utv.byteP2.Length; i++)
{
yVector = fUtvScale * utv.byteP2 + utv.fYMax;
tChart1.Series[iSeriesCntr].Add(xVector, yVector);
}
}
else
{
for (int i=0; i < utv.uiP2.Length; i++)
{
yVector = fUtvScale * utv.uiP2 + utv.fYMax;
tChart1.Series[iSeriesCntr].Add(xVector, yVector);
}
}
}
}
catch
{
Log("Error Plotting UTV Data!");
Log(" Channel#: " + utv.iChannel);
Log(" Series#: " + iSeriesCntr);
}

Please note that both the xVector[] and yVector[] are doubles.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

It's very difficult to say as these infrequent errors are very difficult to debug. Is there any way you could send us an example project with which we can try and reproduce the error? Maybe you could get data from a file or generate some testing data.
