Hi,

I presume the "automation problem" is the "Object does not support automation" error message, displayed when you try to access the control's API from JavaScript. Unfortunately we could not find any way to avoid this. The same flowchart.dll is considered automation-compatible and works fine when loaded under .NET 1.1, but the .NET 2 runtime decides it is not automation-compatible and does not allow accessing the control's methods.

A work-around is to access the Flowchart.NET API entirely from .NET, using a wrapper control that implements your application's client-side logic. I guess that would be a problem if you have a lot of JavaScript code. You might try to implement your wrapper control in the .NET JScript language instead of C# / VB.NET. That should let you reuse most of your JavaScript code.

Once you have the wrapper control's dll compiled, you can load it via the OBJECT element instead of the flowchart.dll.

Hi:

I try some condtions with .net 2 & WebChart.dll(4.2)

I first transfer my old project .net 1.1 to 2.0 . it's ok.

Then I change the WebChart.dll 4.1 for 1.1

to WebChart.dll 4.2 for 2.0.

I covered all the refernce.

But "System.IO.FileLoadException" happened.

it shows can't load file or assembly 'WebChart.NET, Version=4.1.0.23493, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=daa805bd79929376'

but I changed to 4.2 ,why it shows can't load 4.1.

Can you tell me how to upgrade .dll like this?

thanks~

I tried to follow your comment.

I get the MindFusion.Common.dll from
C:\Program Files\MindFusion Limited\FlowChart.NET Pro\VS2005 (.NET 2.0)
and reload  the project's  reference.

But it doesn't change the error message.

How to check MindFusion.Common.dll correctly points to the .NET 2?

or How to really reload the dll?

Thanks~

the reference problem sloved. Thank you!

Back to the automation problem...

"implement wrapper control in the .NET JScript language"

We have no idea about it. Did you try it?
or Show some simple example..

I'll study it....
If you have had some result of it.
It will be helpful to us.

     If all the upgrade problem solved.

I found some phenomenon of the automation problem.

Not all methods can't support automation .

When I marked some flowchart method code in javascript.

It still work.

such as
"UndoManager.UndoEnabled"
"PrintOptions.EnableBackgroundImage"
it can't work

Do you have any idea of these?

thanks~
