Hi,

today I uploaded a sample about the Gauge to the Code library - so I guess you have access to the code.
My problem belongs to the tooltip - maybe I'm missing something.
Here is a video about the problem http://www.pp-p.com/sfiles/gbug.html
You can find the code in Page.xaml.cs - it's in the pC_GetPerfInfoCompleted handler.

The video is a bit short on the end - so here some extra information.
I get this "Object ref not set to..." error message.
After closing it the tooltips work fine - even when I update data the display the new values and so on.

All I do to enable tooltips is setting the tooltip format like this

gauge_markerCPU.TooltipFormat = "CPU usage {0:F2} %"

And in the samples I see you do nothing more than this.
Anyhow - maybe I am  missing something?

By the way - for the curious people (while project is under screening) here is the "documentation" about it:

Follow up: I decide to see how easy it is to migrate the thing to WPF.
I did it (also uploaded to Code Library) - and just to give it a try I enabled the tooltips there.
And they run - without any problem!!

Hi Manfred,

Thank you for the information. The class which throws this exception is the standard System.Windows.Controls.ToolTipService class from Silverlight. It is a well known bug in the Silverlight. We’ve found a solution and work around for some situations, but it looks like not for all. We will check how we can fix this problem for linear scale.

Sincerely yours,
