System.ArgumentNullException Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type

Post by TLC » Mon Jan 11, 2021 6:18 pm

With Xamarin.Forms Version 5.0.0.1874, Version 4.8.0.1821, Version 4.8.0.1687 and Version 4.8.0.1560, graphs break on both Android and iOS. it displays if you catch the exceptions but does not render correctly: popup annotations are broken and don't show, pinch and zoom is gone, etc.

I have not tested versions prior to Version 4.8.0.1560.

Hello,

it seems that is working fine here. Do you have a simple example to reproduce it ?
Anyway, just tell to you, that we're going to upload a new nuget version package before the end of this week (compiled with the latest Xamarin.Forms version).

Steema.TeeChart.Tools.NearestPoint.Point doesn't seem to be updating when the NearestPoint.Change event occurs.



Also, it would be very helpful if the new point/index can be passed via the event args in the EventHandler, such as:

Code: Select all

	public class NearestPointEventArgs : EventArgs
	{
		public int Point { get; set; }

		public NearestPointEventArgs() { }
		public NearestPointEventArgs( int point )
		{
			Point = point;
		}
	}
Then the updated NearestPoint class would be:

Code: Select all

	public class NearestPoint : ToolSeries
	{
		...
		public event EventHandler<NearestPointEventArgs> Change;
		...
	}

Hello,
just updated nugets and both exceptions still occur.
We did some tests with the latest Xamarin.Forms version available and it seems that comes with a problem that might be related to the one that you writen here, so we decided to wait for the next Xamarin.Forms stable version in order to compile against this one.

About the nearest point question.
Have you looked at the following nearest point tool example ?

yes, I checked out the nearest point tool example. I stepped through with visual studio's debugger; it's not being updated.

They just released Xamarin.Forms v5.0.0.1931, the issue still occurs

Hello,

yes, you're correct. I'm able to reproduce the problem here by using the latest TeeChart for Xamarin.Forms version published.
The problem appeared since the 4.2020.9.28 version.
In order to make it work until we fix the problem ,you'd have to use the 4.2020.5.28 version.

I've already added this as an important bug here : bug 2400
We'll try to fix it as sson as possible and upload a new nuget version.

We'll also consider your apportation to add this as a new functionality for the NearestPontTool. Thank you.

Yes, the exception seems to be related with Xamarin.Forms v5. Not sure if it also happens to you with older Xamarin.Forms version.

Hello,
**System.InvalidCastException:** 'Specified cast is not valid.'
Yes, you're correct, it was a bug which we've already fixed it.
We've just upload a new nuget version that includes the fix.
Also, the previous exceptions still over on page creation.
About this page problem I cannot reproduce the problem here using the latest versions of TeeChart for Xamarin.Forms and Xamarin.Forms.
Please, check if the problem also happens in a new clean project.

What I meant by "Also, the previous exceptions still over on page creation." is that the System.InvalidCastException still occurs on version 4.2021.2.25.
