Binding Exception

[Gareth Burns]

Hi, I have just downloaded the latest trial code and I am experiencing some problems getting data to bind to a chart.

I have setup a WPF Service which delivers data and the data is coming across to the codebehind without issue.
When I try to bind that data to my chart I get a null exception.

Stack Trace

My Code
void proxy_GetStatsCompleted(object sender, ServiceReference1.GetStatsCompletedEventArgs e)
        {

            var seriesMapping = new SeriesMapping();
            seriesMapping.LegendLabel = "User Types";
            seriesMapping.SeriesDefinition = new BarSeriesDefinition();

            var ymap = new ItemMapping("count", DataPointMember.YValue);
            var xmap = new ItemMapping("name", DataPointMember.XValue);

            seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(ymap);
            seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(xmap);

            myChart.SeriesMappings.Add(seriesMapping);

            myChart.ItemsSource = e.Result;

        }


Can anyone suggest why this problem is happening. We really like the Silverlight charts but unless we can bind data dynamically from our database there is no point in using them.

Please advise

Solved this for myself. Basically I was trying to pass a string through to the XValue and it was going mental!
Change XValue to XCategory.

Disapointted in the error messages returned however as clearly there were no Null values being passed.

Poor.
