Hi,

I'm using the Q3 2016 version of the Telerik WPF controls suite. I'm having a problem using a ScatterLineSeries in tandem with the "Batch" option on XamlRenderOptions for the series. I'm using a ChartSeriesDescriptor with a style for the ScatterLineSeries that has the following:

<Setter Property="DefaultVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource DefaultVisualStyle}"/>

<Setter Property="RenderOptions">

<Setter.Value>

<telerik:XamlRenderOptions DefaultVisualsRenderMode="Batch"/>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

That "DefaultVisualStyle" resource is defined like so:

<Style x:Key="DefaultVisualStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Path}">

<Setter Property="Width" Value="10" />

<Setter Property="Height" Value="10" />

</Style>

When I use those options and add data points via bindings from the ChartSeriesProvider, I get a MissingMethodException, that seems to come from the UIAutomation system:

System.MissingMethodException: Constructor on type 'Telerik.Windows.Automation.Peers.ScatterPointAutomationPeer' not found.

Is there anything I can do to use Batch for performance on this series?

Hello Alan,

Thank you for the provided information. I reproduced the error and this seems as an issue in the automation peers of the chart series. I logged this in our feedback portal where you can track its status. Also, I updated your Telerik points as a small gesture of gratitude for reporting this.

To avoid the issue you can disable the automation peers.

AutomationManager.AutomationMode = AutomationMode.Disabled;

About improving the chart's performance you can take a look at the Five Easy Steps Towards a Fast Chart blog post.
