AxisRange.CalculateMaxValue exception

[Alex]

Original code:

protected virtual double CalculateMaxValue()
{
    double maxValue = this.ActualMinValue;

    while ((decimal)maxValue < (decimal)this.SeriesMaxValue)
        maxValue += this.ActualStep;

    return maxValue;
}

If we have maxValue or SeriesMaxValue not in the decimal type range then we have an exception
"Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.";

Stacktrace

System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.

Hello Alex,

Currently RadChart can process data that is in the range of decimal. This is done to improve precision, as arithmetic operations done in decimal are more precise than those done in double. Our developers investigated this limitation and concluded that more serious changes have to be made to the control internal mechanisms. These changes can reduce the precision when working with small numbers. So, I am afraid these changes have been dropped of our schedule and currently their status is undefined. We will reconsider them again when discussing our plans for the next quarter.

Yavor
