Draw chart on WriteableBitmap with background agent

[Peni]

Hi,

I want to create a live tile with a line graph on it, so my App has a background agent to draw UserControl with SfChart on a WriteableBitmap, and then show the image on live tile.

Code Example:

MyChartUserControl uc = new MyChartUserControl();
WriteableBitmap wbmp = new WriteableBitmap(691, 336);
wbmp.Render(uc, null);
wbmp.Invalidate();

using (IsolatedStorageFile isf = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
            {
                using (IsolatedStorageFileStream imageStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(TILE_IMAGE_PATH, System.IO.FileMode.Create, isf))
                {
                    wbmp.SaveJpeg(imageStream, wbmp.PixelWidth, wbmp.PixelHeight, 0, 100);
                }
            }
// Update tile image
// .......

However, if draw line chart on WriteableBitmap with background agent, the line disappears (Please refer to the attached). And if add line chart to PhoneApplicationPage of my App, it draws correctly.

May I know how to draw a line chart on WriteableBitmap with background agent?
Thanks.

Hi,

I had updated the sample code.

Main changes:
1. There is a scheduled task to draw chart from background agent, not foreground application.
2. ChartUserControl is in class library project, not application project.

The result image is img2.jpg.


Thank you.

Hi Peni,

 

Thanks for your update.

 

We have analyzed the reported issue and we could not find the issue in our control. We suspect that, the issue may be framework issue.   The Item source does not bind while bitmap renders the new instance of User Control.  We have modified your code with Microsoft control and able to reproduce the issue with Microsoft control. Please find the sample in the below location.

Please let us know if you require further assistance on this.

 

Regards,

M. Sheik
