Clearing databound collection causes cast error

[Rav]

Hi Telerik,

I've recently upgraded to Q1 2010. In my code I have had a radchart bound to an observablecollection. The first display of the chart works fine, however when I use either collection.Clear() or ItemsSource = null I receive the following error:

InvalidCastException
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Style' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList'1[System.Windows.Style]

This occurs when using a BarSeriesDefinition, however when I use a LineSeriesDefinition it works fine. Also, this used to work previously in both SeriesDefinitions.

Any Ideas?

Hello Rav,

Unfortunately we are unable to reproduce the problematic behavior in our local tests. Please review the attached sample application and let us know how can we observe the erroneous issue so we can advise you how to proceed.

Looking forward to your reply.

I had the followin Style in my dictionary.xaml. Removing it fixed the error:

<Style x:Key="BarStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Shape}">
        <Setter Property="Fill">
            <Setter.Value>
                <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                    <GradientStop Color="#FF87D200" Offset="0"/>
                    <GradientStop Color="#FF4FA600" Offset="1"/>
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

I second this. But in my case it was a (specified inside UserControl.Resources) style targeting Bar Class. It's weird because the style resource is never referenced explicitly anywhere, and it has a key, which I assumed would not make it apply to all Bar classes in the UserControl.
