How Can I Detect A Problem With The Xml From My Winforms App?

[CaptainCaveman]

Hello,

 

I have a winforms application that uses AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash to play FusionCharts MSCombi2D.swf with XML data coming from my server.

Sometimes my request for data returns an xml saying there's no data, in which case I get an invalid xml data message. Is there a way for me to get an indication of that in my C# code?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Could you please try using the following code?

 

In movie property append registerWithJS=1 in FlashVars or with .Movie property.

 

axShockwaveFlash1.Movie="{path to swf}?registerWithJS=1"


       // Create axShockwaveFlash1.FlashCall event hander
       axShockwaveFlash1.FlashCall += new AxShockwaveFlashObjects._IShockwaveFlashEvents_FlashCallEventHandler(axShockwaveFlash1_FlashCall);

       // In e.Request parameter check for the event name raised by the chart itself.
       void axShockwaveFlash1_FlashCall(object sender, AxShockwaveFlashObjects._IShockwaveFlashEvents_FlashCallEvent e)
       {
           if (e.request.Contains("FC_DataXMLInvalid"))
           {
               // TODO: Handle Invalid XML Data Error.
           }
           else if (e.request.Contains("FC_NoDataToDisplay"))
           {
               // TODO: Handle No Data To Display error.
           }
       }

Hi,

 

I've tried the code provided above.

e.request is the same in both cases (success or failure):

 

"<invoke name=\"FC_Loaded\" returntype=\"xml\"><arguments><undefined/></arguments></invoke>"

Hi,

 

Could you please try it with our latest v3.2.x charts and check the result?

Hello,

 

The error was due to bad path to xml file which caused the server to return an unexpected response. Everything is working fine now.

Thanks for the support!
