amCharts for WPF 1.1.2 Released

Friday, August 21st, 2009

We have just released version 1.1.2 of amCharts bundle for WPF. This is mostly a service release. It addresses several issues discovered and reported after the 1.1.1 was released. Here is a complete change log:

  • FEATURE ADDED: ColumnChart: added RefreshAndAnimate() method which causes the chart to redraw itself and re-launch startup animation afterwards.
  • BUGFIX: all charts: when data source property (DataItemsSource, SeriesSource, SlicesSource, etc.) was set or bound to a collection implementing INotifyCollectionChanged interface (ObservableCollection, etc.) CollectionChanged event handler was never unhooked even if the property was set to other collection or null.
  • BUGFIX: all charts: declaration of Legend.PositionProperty contained a mistype preventing use of Position property in style declarations, etc.
  • BUGFIX: Serial charts (line, column, etc.): NullReferenceException was thrown when adding data-bound graph from code.
  • BUGFIX: PieChart: data binding via XAML didn’t work as expected
