Background color is wrong

Hello, I used following code to save chart as JPEG file. My chart''s background color should be white but the saved image''s backgroud color becomes dark. I attached the image(resized to <2048) and the code here. Any idea? public void SaveAs() { SaveFileDialog pSaveFileDialog = new SaveFileDialog(); pSaveFileDialog.InitialDirectory=clsApp.NPMAPath+@"\Files\Export"; pSaveFileDialog.DefaultExt="*.bmp"; pSaveFileDialog.Filter = "BMP(*.bmp)|*.bmp|JPG(*.JPG)|*.JPG|WMF(*.WMF)|*.WMF|GIF(*.GIF)|*.Gif|Tiff(*.tif)|*.TIF|PNG(*.Png)|*.Png|Icon(*.ico)|*.ico"; pSaveFileDialog.Title = "Save As "; pSaveFileDialog.FileName="Untitled"; if (pSaveFileDialog.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK) { Image bitmap = new Bitmap(chtReport.ClientSize.Width, chtReport.ClientSize.Height); chtReport.Draw(bitmap); string sExt=System.IO.Path.GetExtension(pSaveFileDialog.FileName).ToLower(); switch (sExt) { case ".jpg": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Jpeg); break; case ".bmp": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Bmp); break; case ".wmf": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Wmf); break; case ".gif": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Gif); break; case ".tif": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Tiff); break; case ".png": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Png); break; case ".ico": bitmap.Save(pSaveFileDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Icon); break; } bitmap.Dispose(); string sMsg="The graph has been saved to the file " +pSaveFileDialog.FileName+clsConst.NEW_LINE+"Do you want to open it now?"; DialogResult pDialogResult=MessageBox.Show(sMsg,clsConst.APP_CAPTION,MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,MessageBoxIcon.Question); if (pDialogResult==DialogResult.Yes) { clsComm.OpenFile(pSaveFileDialog.FileName); } } } Untitled_1329.zip

Hi Lan, What version of Essential Studio/Chart are you using? I tested with the latest version and the code you provided and the background of the chart is retained correctly when saved. Please try running the sample linked to below and let me know if you see the same problem: http://www.syncfusion.com/support/user/Uploads/F32545_ChartJpegSave_4699.zip Thanks, Davis

My version is 3.2.1.0 When I compile your sample, got following compile errors. It looks like your sample used different version.
