Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi There

I am using the Demo application and was trying to create a new Chart Report using the New Report - Wizard

e.g From the Designer
Click on New Report option under File
When the Wizard appears select the Chart option

When the Chart wizard appears choose any of the charts available and click next.
Exception Error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. and the designer closes

This also happens if I use the Chart option from the tool box in the designer.
I have also tested this using my application and get the same error.

All other reports seem ok, it's just trying to use the Chart is an issue

I don't know how to attach files so I have copy and pasted the rest of the errors here

Hello,

We can not reproduce this error. In error stack we see that you have some problems with styles. Try to remove all the settings Stimulsoft Reports from your computer (delete the folder c:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Stimulsoft).

Thank you.
