XamDataChart Throws System.NullReferenceException When Mousing Over Legend Value Tips
posted
We have a XamDataChart integrated with a XamPivotGrid (see xaml Code Snippets below)5
When the OlapXAxis.SeriesCreating event of the XamDataChart fires, we create
legend value tips for points on the points on the x data series using a
a stack panel. ( See CreateXSeriesTips in the Program Code Behind section below. )

When the mouse hovers over the databars of the datachart, the legend value tips show.
This functionality worked with Infragistics versions 16.1 and up untill versions
16.2.20162.1006.

As of Infragistics versions 16.2.20162.2045, a System.NullReferenceException is thrown in
InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Charts.XamDataChart.v16.2.dll immediately when the mouse
hovers over the databars on the datachart.
The only other error information provided is: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
