Exporting a Chart to Excel, PDF or images

[Philippe Chessa]

Hello,

There are several exporting capabilities for Chart under ASP, WinForms, MVC but nothing seems to exist for Silverlight.

Is there any possibility to simply export a Chart with Silverlight in the current version (8.23) and if not, will it be available in a forthcoming version ?

Thanks in advance for you answer
Best regards

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your interest on Syncfusion products.

We do not have export support in Chart Silverlight. We will let you know once this feature is implemented in Chart Silverlight.

Hi Abdul,

That's depressing news.
We badly need this feature for our product...
Do you have any suggestion ? Saving the current page or canvas to image format (jpg, png) would be sufficient in a 1st version

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Best regards
Philippe

Hello,

In our project, we had to do something like that,
You need other dll (We found it on internet)
Here is some code :
// LayoutRoot is the grid where chart is used.

JpegEncoder _iEncoder = new JpegEncoder();
int _iWdth = (int)ContentFrame.ActualWidth;
int _iHgth = (int)ContentFrame.ActualHeight+64;
WriteableBitmap _iWb = new WriteableBitmap(_iWdth, _iHgth);
_iWb.Render(LayoutRoot, new RotateTransform() { Angle = 0 });
_iWb.Invalidate();

SaveFileDialog _iSfd = new SaveFileDialog
{
Filter = "JPG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|All Files (*.*)|*.*",
DefaultExt = ".jpg",
FilterIndex = 1
};
if ((bool)_iSfd.ShowDialog())
{
using (Stream _iStream = _iSfd.OpenFile())
{
_iEncoder.Encode(_iWb.ToImage(), _iStream);
_iStream.Close();
}
}

Hi,

Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.

You can take a snapshot of our control using the WriteableBitmap class. But, Silverlight doesn't support to export the Image Source as a file stream in local system.


Please download the sample attached.


Let us know if you have any questions.


Thanks

I strongly need this chart exporting function too. Why does not Syncfusion implement it in your internal code?

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Silverlight doesn't provide support for save Controls as a File Stream. But WPF can provide support to save objects by using XamlWriter.Save method. Microsoft does not provide this support in Silverlight.

Let us know if you have any questions.
