    I ran into a GDI+ bug, which will cause us a lot of pain getting around it. Alright, gotto deal with it, well let's report it at connect.microsoft.com. Fill in the fields, try to submit. Wait for minutes, and then back to the form. No error message about any field being incorrectly filled, nothing. So first I'm wasting time trying to find the cause of this GDI+ bug, and now I'm wasting time trying to tell MS about the bug.

                  Well, you could try to open a bug report to report the problem with reporting a problem...

                    Or I might just ditch MS and start writing for Apple or Linux just to get back at them! And then I'll probably discover that the grass isn't greener at the other side.

                        Out of memory exceptions from GDI+ are an ancient and well-known anomaly.  Try loading a Bitmap from an image file and specifying a non-image file at run time. :) /ravi

                            You are getting OutOfMemoryException because somewhere inside the code, you are trying to allocate the memory which cannot be allocated. Since memory allocation size is always an integral value, calculations of very small sizes are rounding off and requesting memory for zero (or maybe -ve) bytes. At low magnifications, you will not even see the chart so might as well as put a precanned bitmap there. If I were in your place, I'd handle the size and call into GDI only when size is decent enough for it to work. (No, intent is not to bypass the error, but to avoid attempting futile or impossible) I've had to face this error in C++ era and if I remember right it was on IBM OS/2
