Problems to open a Gauge (csharp .net)

[Msi]

Hello,

My name is Tony. I hope somebody can help me. Many thanks in advance!

I have a Project (Visual Studio 2012) with TChart v.2018. When I try to serialize and deserialize a Gauge to save it and open I receive an error.

This is the way I'm doing it:

- To save:
public void nativeSerialize(Steema.TeeChart.TChart chart, bool includeData)
{
// Guardar archivo a carpeta temporal
string path = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + @"\temp" + System.DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() + ".ten";
chart.Export.Template.IncludeData = includeData;
chart.Export.Template.Save(path);
byte[] buff = null;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
BinaryReader stream = new BinaryReader(fs);
int LengthOfBuffer = (int)fs.Length;
// the buffer for contents of the file
buff = new byte[LengthOfBuffer];
// read the file into the buffer
for (int i = 0; i < LengthOfBuffer; i++)
buff = stream.ReadByte();
// close the file
stream.Close();
fs.Close();

this.native = Convert.ToBase64String(buff);
File.Delete(path);

}

- To open:

public void nativeDeSerialize(Steema.TeeChart.TChart chart)
{
byte[] buff2 = Convert.FromBase64String(this.native);

string path = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + @"\temp" + System.DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() + ".ten";


FileStream fsOut = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);

BinaryWriter streamOut = new BinaryWriter(fsOut);

streamOut.Write(buff2);
streamOut.Close();
fsOut.Close();

chart.Import.Template.Load(path);  << here I get the error (*)

File.Delete(path);
}

(*) Error: {"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.\r\nParameter name: index"}

This way is the same I do with another types of Graphs (histogram, for example) and I have no problems. And also, I don't receive any error if I use an older versión of TChart (2014)

If you need any more details or information, please tell me.

Thanks,

Tony

Hello Tony,

using the following code and the latest TeeChart.NET Pro assembly available from Nuget here (v.4.2018.10.27), CircularGauge template exportation and importation work as expected:

Code: Select all

    public Form1()
    {
      InitializeComponent();

      tChart1.Series.Add(typeof(CircularGauge)).FillSampleValues();
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
      tChart1.Export.Template.IncludeData = true;
      tChart1.Export.Template.Save(ms);

      ms.Position = 0;

      tChart2.Import.Template.Load(ms);
    }

Could you please retouch the above example so I can reproduce your issue here?

Hello,

And many thanks.

I have downloaded the nuget package and now is running. But, now a watermark is showing in my charts "This is an EVALUATION versión...."

I have tried to activate the license following the steps in Steema web, but I am afraid I am doing something wrong because it doesnt work


Last thing I have done is to search for the "Steema_License.zip" file, but I cant find it anywhere in my PC. Where is it supposed to be?


Thanks again. Best regards,

Tony

Hello Tony,

if you have a valid license for TeeChart.NET Pro then you can write to sales@steema.com and they will be happy to give you the necessary Steema_License.zip. If you don't have a valid license then they will be happy to provide you with one!

It is working now...

Best regards,
