ExportToXps Multiple charts to the one stream

[Nick Wood]

Hi All

I want to export several charts to an xps doc.

I tried the following:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            SaveFileDialog dialog = PrepareSaveDialog();

            if (!(bool)dialog.ShowDialog())
                return;

            Stream fileStream = dialog.OpenFile();
            this.ExportTheFile(fileStream);

            fileStream.Close();
        }

        private void ExportTheFile(Stream fileStream)
        {
            this.RadChartColdSetStartSpoils.ExportToXps(fileStream);
            this.RadChartHeatSetStartSpoils.ExportToXps(fileStream);
            this.RadChartComboStartSpoils.ExportToXps(fileStream);
            this.RadChartAverageStartSpoils.ExportToXps(fileStream);
        }

        private SaveFileDialog PrepareSaveDialog()
        {
            SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog();
            dialog.DefaultExt = "xps";
            dialog.Filter = this.GetDefaulExt();
            return dialog;
        }

        private string GetDefaulExt()
        {
            return string.Format("*.{0} | {1} File", "xps", "xps");
        }

It throws and error here: this.RadChartHeatSetStartSpoils.ExportToXps(fileStream); as the filestream is closed by the first call to ExportToXPS.

This method should not be closing the stream?. Is there any way to exports several charts to the one xps doc?

Hello Nick,

Unfortunately the current version of the control does not support exporting multiple charts to a single XPS document. We will log your feature request in our public issue tracking system and we will forward it to our developers for further consideration.

Hello Nick,
I have the same problem that you have, so I want to know if you found a solution to Export  several charts to an document?
Any ideas to how we can do that?
If you have a solution please tell me because I am in this problem from three days.


Thank You

In the end, we updated to silverlight 4 and used the RichTextBox control along with PrintDocument to push the charts out to the printer and its working really well. Its not an image now, so it scales to all printer sizes and orientations perfectly.

But I want to know how I can Export several charts to one Excel file, do you know how can I do that?
When I try to Export several charts, it through Exception because the filestream is closed by the first call to ExportToExcelM as u know.
And if you have a simple code to do that, this will be great.

Thank you

Hello Shahinaz ElSayyad,

The built-in exporting functionality in the current version of the control does not support exporting multiple charts to a single XPS / Excel document. This feature request is logged in our public issue tracking system and will be considered for one of the next versions of RadChart.
