I am currently evaluating both the XtraCharts and  ASPxperience suite for an upcoming dashboard product.  Really enjoying the product and the nice output.  The issue I am having is when I embed an asp.net chart inside a ASPxRoundPanel, I start to see strange behaviors in the development environment.   It is like it is getting confused.  I will have to stop the vs2008 environment and then when it tries to re-open the page, it will not open.  It could be some strange issue with vs2008.  Again, I only see the issue when I embed a chart inside of a ASPxRoundPanel control.   I can put both controls on the same page (not embedded) and it works fine.  I am not sure if it is something with vs2008.  Has anybody else seen anything like this?  Thanks in advance.

Environment:
DXperience 8.2.6
Visual Studio 2008

Hi Dion,

I've tryied to reproduce this issue, but failed. Could you provide
additional information about the control hierarchy on your page?
Are you using master pages or user controls?

 Thanks for the reply.  Here is the sequence.

Create a new .aspx page.

Place an ASPxRoundPanel onto the form.  I leave all of the defaults after the control is created.

I place my cursor in the content area of the ASPXRound Panel and then I double click the WebChartControl in the toolbar.

I then run the wizard to set up the graph parameters and the series information.

After I exit the wizard, the environment locks up.  I have to reset the VS2008 environment and/or reboot the machine. 

When I attempt to load the page back into the design environment, the environment locks up.

I can place an ASPxRoundPanel and a webchart on the same page (but not having the chart inside the panel) and everything works fine.

I also tried the following.  I created a new page.  In the graphical environment, I dropped a round panel and added some content.  I then switched to the source view and double clicked the webchartcontrol to add it to the content section of the round panel.  When I attempted to switch back to the graphical design view, the system locked.

I have tested this on two different development environments and I get the same result.  It looks like when the chart control is trying to write to the source file, it gets confused and locks up.
