Export to PDF programmatically Lost Background

[Cory]

Hello all,

I have a report that contains a chart.  In the chart plot area, I set the background image using relative path (~/Image/myimage.png). Everything works as expected using ReportViewer on asp.net page.  The problem I have is when I export the report to pdf format programmatically, the chart background is not set.

Here is how I export it.

           

  public Stream GetReportBytes(Guid studyId, string userName)
        {
            ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
            Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();

            ProjectReport reportToExport = new ProjectReport();
            reportToExport.ReportParameters[0].Value = studyId.ToString();
            reportToExport.ReportParameters[1].Value = userName;
            instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = reportToExport;
            RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, null);

            return new MemoryStream(result.DocumentBytes);
        }

And background image is set like this

MainChart.PlotArea.Appearance.FillStyle.FillSettings.BackgroundImage = "~/Images/ci_bg.png";

Please advice.

Cheers!

Hello Cory,

Please double-check how the relative path used to set the background image is resolved. In case the report definition is in the web application the relative path will be resolved based on the same root. If you need additional assistance please send us a sample runnable project to debug on our side.

I hope this helps.
