Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[Robert Schoen]

I am getting an “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” error when I attempt to add a barchart series to a chart.  The error is not very descriptive.   I am attaching a screen shot of the errordialog.   I have a sample project but I can’t seem to attach it.




Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Robert,

The problem is due to barSeries.VerticalAxis being null when you add it to radChartView1. You need to defining a vertical axis of a series is needed before you can add it to a ChartView.

You can define the vertical series where you defined the categoricalAxis and use it for the barSeries. For example:

radChartView1.Axes.Clear();
...

DateTimeCategoricalAxis categoricalAxis = new DateTimeCategoricalAxis();
categoricalAxis.DateTimeComponent = DateTimeComponent.Date;
categoricalAxis.PlotMode = AxisPlotMode.BetweenTicks;
categoricalAxis.LabelFormat = "{0:m}";
categoricalAxis.LabelFitMode = AxisLabelFitMode.Rotate;
categoricalAxis.LabelRotationAngle = 270;

LinearAxis verticalAxis = new LinearAxis();
//set your preferred properties for the linear axis

//add the series to the ChartView
radChartView1.Axes.Add(verticalAxis);
radChartView1.Axes.Add(categoricalAxis);

//further down in the method in the foreach loop, assign the axes to the series
barSeries.VerticalAxis = radChartView1.Axes[0] as LinearAxis;
barSeries.HorizontalAxis = radChartView1.Axes[1] as DateTimeCategoricalAxis;

If you have any further difficultly, please reply to the Support Ticket you have submitted for this issue and we will follow up there.
