Designer Crashes when creating/editing Pie or Ring

[aikar]

Hello everyone

I have worked with an older Version of Stimulsoft for a couple of month now and upgraded to version 2011.2.1010 yesterday.

Now, when I use the ChartWizard to edit or create a Pie or Circle Diagram, it crashes with a null pointer exception when I click "Next" after selecting the style.

The message:

Code: Select all

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And here is the stack trace:

Code: Select all

I would need fast support, because our customers are waiting for some reports.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Please specify you are using a Web or WinForms report designer?

Thank you.

[aikar]

The program which starts the designer is WindowsForms.

The designer for new Reports is simply called when a button is clicked:

Code: Select all

        private void ButtonNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            progressBar1.PerformStep();
            StiReport report = new StiReport();
            report.Design();
            progressBar1.PerformStep();
        }

I have referenced the same libraries as with the old version (the program was written by another developer):
Stimulsoft.Base
Stimulsoft.Controls
Stimulsoft.Controls.Win
Stimulsoft.Database
Stimulsoft.Designer
Stimulsoft.Editor
Stimulsoft.Report
Stimulsoft.Report.Design
Stimulsoft.Report.Design.WebViewer
Stimulsoft.Report.Web
Stimulsoft.Report.WebDesign
Stimulsoft.Report.WebFx
Stimulsoft.Report.Win

Did I forget something? I did not find a Library especially for WindowsForms?

At the first start after the upgrade I was called to choose an editor mode (Office 2002, 2007 or 2010, I used 2010)
