How to Save Map into Image File

[LaDonna]

How can we save the current view of the map into an image file?  We use the EmptyProvider with shape files and no complex backgrounds/querying for map data providers.

Hello LaDonna ,

You can save the contents of the information layer to an image file using ExportExtensions.ExportToImage method.
The sample code is below.

private void SaveToImage()
{
    SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog();
    dialog.Filter = "Png (*.png)|*.png";

    bool? dialogResult = dialog.ShowDialog();

    if (dialogResult == true)
    {
        using (Stream stream = dialog.OpenFile())
        {
            Telerik.Windows.Media.Imaging.ExportExtensions.ExportToImage(
                this.informationLayer, stream, new Telerik.Windows.Media.Imaging.PngBitmapEncoder());
        }
    }
}

Best wishes,
