Problem Making Example From Documentation Work.

[zugzwang]

Hello All,

I am new to FusionCharts and new here. I have had success building "My First Chart" in a .html page. It works fine. So I moved on to the Form Based example in the VB_Net example. It doesn't work very well. Where the chart should be, it simply says "Chart."

When I click the link that says "Unable to see chart above?" I am told that something is missing (404) but not told what. Can anyone give me some hints how I might debug my problem?

Thanks in advance,

Larry.

Hi,

 

Could you please check whether you have placed FusionCharts.js in your page?

Thank you Sudipto Chourdhury for your reply. Indeed, I was missing the FusionCharts.js file. Now I get a compile error: " Name 'FusionCharts' is not declared." in the following line of code:

LiteralChart.Text = FusionCharts.RenderChart("../FusionCharts/Pie3D.swf", "", xmlData.ToString(), "Sales", "500", "300", False, True)

 

I have noticed the first example "MyFirstChart" also uses the following files "highcharts.js" and "jquery.min.js". I tried adding them to the FormBased chart, but it was no help. Can you help me with this one,

please?

 

Thank you for your time and your patience. It is a little frustrating that I am unable to make simple examples listed in the documentation work.

Larry.

Hi,

 

This issue signifies that the class "FusionCharts" within the "FusionCharts.dll" file is unable to be recognized. Could you please add the reference to the "FusionCharts.dll" in the "bin" folder of the FusionCharts Download Pack?

Ref.- FusionCharts Download pack >> Code > VB_NET >> bin

 

In case you have added FusionCharts.dll and this is not working, please try using "FusionCharts.vb" present in the "src" folder of the download pack.

Ref.- FusionCharts Download pack >> Code > VB_NET >> src

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you Sanjukta Mukherjee for your suggestion. I have created a "bin" folder in the directory that contains the Default.aspx and Default.aspx.vb. I copied the FusionCharts.dll and then FusionCharts.vb into the bin directory. Neither had any effect. Looking at the code, I see that the Default.aspx imports InfoSoftGlobal, and InfoSoftGlobal is defined in FusionCharts.vb. The FusionCharts class is defined as part of the InfoSoftGlobal. So this seems to make sense to me, but it doesn't work. Is there another way to access the FusionCharts class? Or perhaps I have put the bin folder in the wrong place?

 

Thank you again for helping -

Cheers.

Sudipto, in this forum: http://forum.fusioncharts.com/topic/6170-any-win-server-2008-r2-users-out-there/ you said compiling 64 bit mode is not supported. Where is the compiling done? I am trying to use a 64 bit windows enterprise server 2008 SP2 - perhaps this is my problem?

Cheers.

Hi,

 

Please note that you would need to add the reference for "FusionCharts.dll" from the "bin" folder of the download pack to your project. Please refer to the following screenshots to follow the steps to add the reference.

 

Step1:

 

Step 2:

 

In case you wish to use "FusionCharts.vb", then keep "FusionCharts.vb" (from the "src" folder of the download pack) in the "App_code" folder in the project. Please refer to the following screenshot for the steps.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Please note that this is a reply given long time back when 64 bit Flash Player was not available.

 

But now as the latest Flash Player supports compiling in 64-bit, hence FusionCharts also supports it.

 

Hope this helps.
