The tag 'SciChartSurface' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart'

Hi CJ

This sounds like a Visual Studio problem and not a scichart problem. Possible causes include:

1. Referencing the wrong target framework package type e.g. .NET Framework version of SciChart DLLs in a .NET 7 application or vice versa
2. DotNet bugs or other compile errors
3. Visual studio designer caching errors

Resolving it should be relatively simple

• File -> New Project in Visual Studio
• Nuget -> Install package scichart
• in a XAML file -> include the xmlns:s=”https://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart”
• Create your SciChartSurface using XAML e.g. <s:SciChartSurface/>

We have a tutorial here on setting up a new project
Another tutorial on referencing scichart libraries.
We have simple boilerplates such as a blank project to test out licensing & chart instantiation here

It is also possible to export any example from SciChart WPF Examples by clicking the Export Solution button (find out how here)

This creates a stand-alone visual studio project that you can use right away for a specific example.

The above should help you to get started. If you still have problems, post your visual studio solution here as a zip (removing bin/obj files) and our team can take a look.

Best regards

Thank you for responding. I attached my project (**TempChart**) as a zip (I zipped the entire folder since it’s just small enough). Also showing here is a screenshot of the errors shown and the project properties page where the target framework is set (.NET 4.8). The code is a identical to that shown in the tutorial except for the shorter namespace.

I also exported an example from SciChart examples (SciChart_ColumnChart). This exported project gets a whole different sets of error and claims my current .NET 4.8.1 is not found.

I can neither run the tutorial or any solution exported from the examples.

FYI: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) – Current Version 17.3.1

My code runs after I remove the ‘s’ from ‘https’ :
from this (in the tutorial): xmlns:s=”https://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart”
to this: xmlns:s=”http://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart”

then the code compiles. Is that just a typo in the tutorial or should I really be using https instead of http?
