It needs to support year transitions, but as you can see from the screenshot the charting control automatically sorts the model and fills in the gaps. The line sort be ever increasing and not taking a dip on new year. How...

Some users of a silverlight application I develop are complaining that IE will close sporadically. The sequence of events the users are doing are inconsequential, they are unable to reproduce the issue.

I need to modify the default commit behavior so that rather...
