Hey,

Just ran into an issue with programmatically assigning ranges. For example I want the user to let me know what value is "red" or "green", and display the gauge appropriately. This all works great except when the user changes the value where "good meets bad".

If I try the following line of code to remove previous ranges, I get "Exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' was thrown" on the line after this executes:
        If radialScale1.Ranges.Count > 0 Then  
            radialScale1.Ranges.Clear()  
        End If 

However if I don't remove previous ranges, it causes other odd behavior since the ranges are stacked.
While recreating this scenario in a new test project, I did find a work around:
        While radialScale1.Ranges.Count > 0  
            radialScale1.Ranges.RemoveAt(0)  
        End While 

In any case I have a workaround but thought I would post this for anyone having a similar issue and so that Telerik is aware of this potential problem. Wouldn't using the clear method be the recommended approach?

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Thank you for the feedback.
Of course it is more understandable and useful to use Clear method instead of removing each range in a loop. We will fix the problem with exception in future releases.

All the best,

This also happens when clearing the IndicatorList.  Has this been fixed in the latest release?

Hello Tim,

We've added new method to the scale objects: ClearList<T>()
You can use it to clear lists in the scale (indicators and ranges). For example:
scale.ClearList<RangeList>();

I'm sorry, I am very new to Silverlight...

How do you get the RangeList to pass to the ClearList method?

Thanks!

Hello jfkrueger,

The scale object can contain 1 RangeList only. So just add this line to your code to clear range list:

scale.ClearList<RangeList>();
