NullReferenceException was unhandled

[Saykor]

Hi,
Sometime when i start my project hang with this error. It is possible for you to give me a direction where can be the mistake or how to find it? I use chart control and bind it from the xaml and i am not exactly sure how to find the error.

Please advise.

Regards,
Saykor

Hello Saykor,

We've been unable to reproduce such an issue in our local tests. Could you, please, open a support ticket and send us a sample application, which reproduces this issue, so that we could debug it on our side and find the cause for the error.

All the best,
Nikolay
