Hi team, followed the example here (https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/xamarin/controls/chart/series/cartesian/line-series) and get this error in iOS simulator.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Heath,

I regret to hear you've come across an exception when using our RadChart control. 

I would need more details on the exact scenario you have in order to reproduce and investigate the case.  I have checked the example from the referenced article, still, it's a basic setup and does not lead to the described exception.  In addition, the stack trace does not give me sufficient information what could have gone wrong.

Would it be possible to try to isolate the issue in a separate runnable example? Or you can send us at least the files (xaml and code-behind) containing the Chart and the code for navigating to the corresponding view.  Please open a support ticket and attach them there.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Yana

the xaml in a content page is this.

            <telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
                <telerikChart:CategoricalAxis LabelFitMode="MultiLine"
                                      PlotMode="OnTicks" />
            </telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
            <telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
                <telerikChart:NumericalAxis />
            </telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
            <telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.Series>
                <telerikChart:LineSeries CategoryBinding="Day" 
                                        ValueBinding="Hours" 
                                        x:Name="chrtbr_Utilisation"/>
                </telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.Series>
        </telerikChart:RadCartesianChart>
    </Grid>

Assigning any itemssource causes it to crash, no itemssource just presents a single horizontal line as to be expected.

 

Cheers

Hi Heath,

The problem is Day and Hour are not properties in your model class, they are fields.  Try changing them to properties should fix the issue:

public partial class Utilisation
{
	public string Day {get;set;}
	
	public object DayFirstCharacter
	{
		get { return Day[0].ToString()+ Day[1].ToString(); }
	}
	
	public double Hours {get;set;}
	
	public int ActivityCount;
	
	public Color BarColumnColour
	{
		get { return Day == DateTime.Now.Day.ToString("dddd") ? Xamarin.Forms.Color.FromRgb(0, 153, 204) : Xamarin.Forms.Color.FromRgb(129, 0, 204); }
	}
}

Let me know how it goes.
