Multiple Y axes errors

[Joe Liu]

when i use this Multiple Y axes feature, i found this odd exception hard to address,

i create a chart with multiple Y axes using this code:

            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Add(new AxisY());
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Add(new AxisY());
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes[0].AxisName = "Secondary";
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes[1].AxisName = "Tertiary";

then i bind data on it and it's running correctly first time.
and i use a event(say button click) to trigger this code:

            Chart1.SeriesMappings.Clear();
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Clear();

after this i run the same code above to add AdditionalYAxes and bind data again, and in throw a null reference exception everytime.

complete codes are like this:

        public MultipleAxesTest()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.FillSampleChartData();
        }
        private void FillSampleChartData()
        {
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Add(new AxisY());
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Add(new AxisY());
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes[0].AxisName = "Secondary";
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes[1].AxisName = "Tertiary";

            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries.Add(GenerateSeries(0, 10, "Legend1", string.Empty, new BarSeriesDefinition()));
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries.Add(GenerateSeries(15, 50, "Legend2", "Secondary", new SplineSeriesDefinition()));
        }

        private static DataSeries GenerateSeries(int minRange, int maxRange, string legendLabel, string axisName, ISeriesDefinition definition)
        {
            DataSeries series = new DataSeries();
            Random r = new Random();
            series.Definition = definition;
            series.LegendLabel = legendLabel;
            series.Definition.AxisName = axisName;

            for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
                series.Add(new DataPoint(r.Next(minRange, maxRange)));

            return series;
        }

        private void previewButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Chart1.SeriesMappings.Clear();
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Clear();
            this.FillSampleChartData();
        }

every time i trigger this event there's this exception.
and if i skip those two lines:
            Chart1.SeriesMappings.Clear();
            Chart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Clear();

and it's ok, but obviously this is not the case as intend :(

This sounds a bug to me.
I would appreciate if anyone can give me more details about this behavior.

Edit: this only occur when i use 2010 Q1 version. i just try 2009 Q3 and it's running correctly.
