How to ChartView.ExportToImage from List<ChartView>

[kieran]

Hi,

    I have 3 ChartViews on a form, I wish to export each to a separate Image.

I would like my routine to be generic so I can reuse it for many Chart sets.

I am trying the following.

foreach (ChartView x in PnlCharts.Controls.OfType<ChartView>())
            {
                x.ExportToImage();
            }

However the ExportToImage Method is not available.  It only seems to be available if I directly reference the instance inserted into the form.

eg ChartView1.ExportToImage();

Am I missing something here?

Why can I export from the instance, but not from the same instance when it is contained within a list?

Hello, Kieran,   

The ExportToImage method is available for controls of type RadChartView. However, in your sample code snippet, I can see that you are extracting the controls of type ChartView, not RadChartView.  

            foreach (RadChartView x in this.Controls.OfType<RadChartView>())
            {
                string filePath = @"..\..\..\exprtedChart" + x.Name + ".png";
                x.ExportToImage(filePath, this.radChartView1.Size, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
            }

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
