I found a bug in 2014.1 (VS 2010), here's how to reproduce it:

1) Unzip attached binary settings file and load it to a chart control in the VS designer, that works perfectly
2) Save the chart to an XML-file
3) Clear the chart
4) Load settings from the XML-file saved in step 2: The MaxTickCount settings for the ordinal scale configurator are reset to the default (int max value):

Hi Alexander,

Can you send us the state in custom XML format?

Can I somehow save the settings from the designer in custom XML? Othewise I have to do save it during runtime, right?

Hi Alexander,
You can save the settings at runtime using the following code:
nChartControl1.Serializer.SaveControlStateToFile("c:\\chartstate.xml", Nevron.Serialization.PersistencyFormat.CustomXML, null);
