ExportToImage pixelWith error

[Mattia]

Hi,

I was trying to add a qr into a RadFixedDocument like this

RadBarcodeQR qr = new RadBarcodeQR();
qr.Mode = QRClassLibrary.Modes.CodeMode.Byte;
qr.Text = documentHistory.SerialId.ToString();
qr.Width = 88;
qr.Height = 88;
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
      Telerik.Windows.Media.Imaging.ExportExtensions.ExportToImage(qr, stream, new PngBitmapEncoder());

      //RadFixedDocument
       document.InsertImage(stream, area);
}

 

I have the following error on this line: Telerik.Windows.Media.Imaging.ExportExtensions.ExportToImage(qr, stream, new PngBitmapEncoder());

Parameter value must be greater then 0. ParameterName: pixelWidth

I have the same problem if I create the QRCode on XML and then I put Visibility to Collapsed

[Lance | Senior Manager Technical Support]

Hello Stefania,

The reason the export extensions are getting a zero sized element, is because the RadBarcode hasn't performed the measure, arrange and layout passes. 

You can perform these manually if you don't intend to add the barcode to the visual tree. Here's your code with the added methods:

RadBarcodeQR qr = new RadBarcodeQR();
qr.Mode = QRClassLibrary.Modes.CodeMode.Byte;
qr.Text = documentHistory.SerialId.ToString();
qr.Width = 88;
qr.Height = 88;

qr.Measure(new Size(88, 88));
qr.Arrange(new Rect(new Size(88, 88)));
qr.UpdateLayout();


// QrCode is ready, move forward

Note, as you have seen, this is also the case when you set the Visibility to Collapsed, it is no longer in the Visual Tree and cannot be rendered into a bitmap.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you

I tried to use this sample, and unfortunately the image generated is blank. Can you help?

[Lance | Senior Manager Technical Support]

Hello João,

Generally speaking, the most common reason for a blank image is the UI element hasn't been rendered yet, or the size is not not what's expected. However, I cant be sure what problem that implementation has until we've directly debugged it.

As a test, give the UIElement an explicit Height and Width and make sure the UI rendered before performing the export.

Further Assistance

So that we can give you the best support and determine an exact solution for you, can you please take the following steps:

1. Open a new Support Ticket here (you have a priority support license)
2. Provide the code that you're using and what exactly isn't working (if you can attach a runnable project that reproduces the problem, we'll be able to provide a solution more quickly)

We do try our best to answer all forum posts within a reasonable timeframe, however this is limited by available resources and workload. Whereas as Support Ticket carries a guaranteed response time. In addition, you're not able to attach a ZIP of the affected project to a public post, but you can attach it to a ticket.
