TeeChartV2 and TeeChart V3 donot behave well on one computer

I would want to have chart v2 and v3 on my machine so that I can use them on different versions of our own product.
The problem is when I install any updates/fixes to v2 it mess up the references/licenses.licx of v3.

I would also like to have two toolbox tabs for TeeChart. TeeChart v2 should create/update its own toolbox tab/controls on installation and TeeChart v3 should do the same.

Hello,

Both versions of TeeChart choose the 'Steema' tab in the toolpalette for installation. We'll make a note for development to see whether we can parameterise that aspect of the installation in the future to allow choice of tab.

It may be that aspect that is causing problems though I'm not clear yet how it might affect the TeeChart reference in licenses.licx (unless the project teechart.dll is updated to the new version - only the case if the project reference pathed teechart.dll has been overwritten by a different version). Both versions should work alongside each other in a single machine, indeed most support machines at Steema run different versions simultaneously. The key issue may be the toolpalette tab name. A workaround could be to rename the tab before installing a new version of TeeChart, thus not overwriting the default set of components, rather permitting multiple sets in different tabs. Another alternative would be to make the installation as normal and then create a new tool palette tab and to search for the version of TeeChart you wish to install to it. Licenses.licx should respect the version of the teechart.dll in the project so be sure that your version 2 and version 3 installations are in different folders (by default they should be).

Hi Marc Meumann,

I have 2 tool applet tabs created manually. I have a 64 bit version of vista and my coworker has 2 tool applet tabs created manually his is 32 bit Windows xp professional. I check in 2 projects, with teechart version 2 in one project and teechart version 3 in another. When he checks out from source control the projects, the references are not correct on his machine.

And also, I was wondering if it is possible to have teechart V2 and teechart v3 in the same project on 2 different forms.

Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,

Does your colleague have designtime license correctly installed on his machine? He may check it as told here.

And also, I was wondering if it is possible to have teechart V2 and teechart v3 in the same project on 2 different forms.

I'm afraid not because both versions have the same assembly name (TeeChart.dll) and this would mean duplicate references. However you should be able to use 2 projects in the same solution using a different TeeChart reference for each project.
