Hi,

I'm trying to set up a simple line chart.
My code is very simple:

 

DataSeries ds1 = new DataSeries();  
ds1.LegendLabel = "Random";  
ds1.Definition = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.LineSeriesDefinition();   
FillDataSeries(ds1); // Fills series data points with XValue and YValue   
chartArea1.DataSeries.Add(ds1); 

When the code runs, a NullReferenceException is thrown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.BaseAnimationConverter.GetAnimationSettings() in c:\Builds\WPF_Scrum\Chart_WPF_2009_Q2_SP1\Sources\Development\Controls\Chart\Chart\Animations\BaseAnimationConverter.cs:line 163
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what am I missing?

Thanks.

Hi Yoni Dagan,

I see from your post that you have tried to use the ChartArea as a standalone control and populate manually its data series collection. This control was designed to be placed within a RadChart control and should  not be used separately. You can find more information on how to set up the chart control here.
