Hi Suresh,

The following code library entry provides information about exporting RadHtmlChart: http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/html-chart/exporting-radhtmlchart-to-png-and-pdf.aspx.

Hi Marin,
Thank you for the reply, I installed inkscape and tried exporting to (.png) format, where inkscape.Start() is not creating the png file but  temp.svg file is created and I ended with 'FileNotFoundException was Caught' in ReadFile Function.
 Is this something to do with the inkscape.exe application? And the sample site in the thread (ExportRadHtmlChart-VB.zip) was working.

Dim inkscape As New Process()
inkscape.StartInfo.FileName = HtmlChartExportSettings.InkscapePath
inkscape.StartInfo.Arguments = [String].Format("--file ""{0}"" --export-{1} ""{2}"" --export-width {3} --export-height {4}", settings.SvgFilePath, settings.Extension, settings.OutputFilePath, settings.Width, settings.Height)
inkscape.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
inkscape.Start()
inkscape.WaitForExit()

Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,

The error message doesn't seem to be related to RadControls but to the export settings of inkscape software. It may be possible that either a wrong SvgFilePath is passed to the inkscape.StartInfo.Arguments property in ExportHtmlChart() sub or the first argument (i.e. filePath) of ReadFile()  function is modified, so that the output SVG image cannot be passed to the inkscape for exporting.

I have created a short video that illustrates the proper functionality of the provided code library. The only change that I have made is the InkscapePath variable in HtmlChartExportSettings.vb file that references the path to the Inkscape executable on the server. What I can suggest is that you either reuse the provided code library and just modify the path to inkscape or proceed further with the debugging on this regard.

Hi Danail,
Thanks for the response, the issue is resolved. Actually the error was from my side , i was trying to hide the div which caused this problem. Now the export to .png is working good. But am having another issue, where a windows dialog appears to open or save the file .i think this is caused by the __doPostBack() method in javascript , is there any way to suppress that.?

Hello Suresh,

Once you send a file to the browser it is up to the browser to decide what to show and how to handle it. What you can control is the content-dispsition header - whether the file is inline or opens as an attachment.
