ChartSpace.ExportPicture() Method

[A4e]

hi

i am trying to use the ChartSpace.ExportPicture() method in a windoes forms
app but keep getting an error message 'System.InvalidCastException'...

can anyone advise please? the exact code i am using is below, all within a
button_click() event.... :

AxChartSpace1.ExportPicture("C:\mychart.gif", "gif", 280, 140)

many thanks in anticipation

Your code worked for me, but I have heard about problems with the
ExportPicture before.

You can try to get the picture with the getPicture method like this:

Dim ChartImageArray() As Byte = CType(AxChartSpace1.GetPicture(),
Byte())
Dim ChartImageMemoryStream As New IO.MemoryStream(ChartImageArray)
Dim img As Image = Image.FromStream(ChartImageMemoryStream)

Then save the img to a file.

many thanks again!

this code worked... but is there an equivalent method for the PivotTable?

thanks

Hmm.. For some reason the pivotTable object don't have the getPicture
function. I don't know why. I could need it myself., Why they have
the exportPicture sub, but not the getPicture function is a mystery to
me.
