Chart Background Image Problem

Question

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with an chart background image in a windows form application. As long as I run the publish-version on my local development machine everything works fine. Running the application on a different machine or removing the chart background image from his original position issues an exception error at start-up. The problem is quite clear to me so I added the image to my project-resources and also wrote some code to load the image at start-up. Still not working.
I guess that there must be a way to integrate the image during the build-proces.

Any ideas?

Regards
Vladimir

Hi, no, I don't have that. Figure that I would like to solve it directly in vis. studio. Using an external installer would also be a solution -but it would also be a final one. Regards

Do you have install setup project ? If , then you could add that image into your installer.

Hello and thanks for the answer. I tried to do as you proposed but the error remains the same. After publishing and running the application (after removing the image from the new created folder) there is an exception error at start-up. Maybe I have to set some properties of the image?

You can add a new folder into your project by Right Click -> Add -> New Folder Then set your back ground image in chart pointing to this newly added folder in your solution instead pointing to your local folder. In this way, build process should pick up the image.
