Null Reference exception in AxisX.cs:line 384

[Mark]

I have null reference exception with just simple code of charts components (components version 2011.2.920.35)

System.NullReferenceException occurred
  Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  Source=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting
  StackTrace:
       at Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.AxisX.CalculateItemRange(DataSeries dataSeries, Int32 index, Boolean shouldSubtractItemWidth) in c:\TB\102\WPF_Scrum\Release_WPF\Sources\Development\Controls\Chart\Chart\ChartArea\Axis\AxisX.cs:line 384
  InnerException:

Code example
      

<telerik:RadChart Name="MonitoringChart" />

private void UserControl_DataContextChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
       MonitoringChart.SeriesMappings.Clear();

        var lineSeriesDefinition = new LineSeriesDefinition();
        lineSeriesDefinition.ShowItemLabels = true;
        lineSeriesDefinition.ShowItemToolTips = true;
        lineSeriesDefinition.ItemToolTipFormat = "#Y at #X{dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss}";
        lineSeriesDefinition.AxisName = item.Name;

        var items = new List<DataPoint<object>>();
        items.Add(new DataPoint<object>() { Time = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(0), Value = 1 });
        items.Add(new DataPoint<object>() { Time = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1), Value = 2 });
        items.Add(new DataPoint<object>() { Time = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2), Value = 3 });
        items.Add(new DataPoint<object>() { Time = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(3), Value = 4 });

        var seriesMapping = new SeriesMapping();
        seriesMapping.ItemsSource = items; //item.Values;
        seriesMapping.LegendLabel = item.Name;
        seriesMapping.SeriesDefinition = lineSeriesDefinition;
        seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping() { FieldName = "Time", DataPointMember = DataPointMember.XValue });
        seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping() { FieldName = "Value", DataPointMember = DataPointMember.YValue });

        MonitoringChart.SeriesMappings.Add(seriesMapping);
}

public class DataPoint<T>
{
    public DataPoint()
    {
    }

    public DataPoint(T value, DateTime time)
    {
        Value = value;
        Time = time;
    }

    public T Value { get; set; }
    public DateTime Time { get; set; }
}

Hi Mark,

We couldn't reproduce the problem with the latest binaries. You can get the latest internal build (LIB) from your account page. I have created a simple WPF application that uses your code and the latest binaries. Please test it in your environment and let us know how it is.

All the best,
Yavor

I was receiving a similar Null Reference Exception due to incorrect XAML markup.  I was missing the <chart:ChartArea.DataSeries> item below.  Ensure that the RadChart XAML is structured similar to this:

<telerikChart:RadChart>
	<telerikChart:RadChart.DefaultView>
		<chart:ChartDefaultView>
			<chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
				<chart:ChartArea>
 					<chart:ChartArea.DataSeries>
 						<chart:DataSeries>
							<chart:DataSeries.Definition>
								<chart:LineSeriesDefinition>
 								</chart:LineSeriesDefinition>
							</chart:DataSeries.Definition>
 
							<chart:DataPoint YValue="80" XValue="40909"></chart:DataPoint>
							<chart:DataPoint YValue="85" XValue="40910"></chart:DataPoint>
							<chart:DataPoint YValue="82" XValue="40911"></chart:DataPoint>
							<chart:DataPoint YValue="90" XValue="40912"></chart:DataPoint>
							<chart:DataPoint YValue="85" XValue="40913"></chart:DataPoint>
 
						</chart:DataSeries>
 
					</chart:ChartArea.DataSeries>
 
				</chart:ChartArea>
			</chart:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
 
		</chart:ChartDefaultView>
	</telerikChart:RadChart.DefaultView>
</telerikChart:RadChart>
