Imports System.Drawing.Printing
This topic discusses the PrintChart method, which is invoked to print a WinChart™.
The sample code below demonstrates how to print a chart to the default Windows printer:
Before you start writing any code, you should place using/directives in your code-behind so you don’t need to always type out a member’s fully qualified name.
In Visual Basic:
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
In C#:
using System.Drawing.Printing;
Add a command button to the web form containing the chart you wish to print. The user will click this button to initiate the print job.
Add the following code to the Click event handler for the command button:
In Visual Basic:
Private Sub btnPrintChart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrintChart.Click
Dim printer1 As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
Dim page1 As New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings()
Me.UltraChart1.PrintChart(printer1, page1)
End Sub
This code assumes that you have included the System.Drawing.Printing reference into your namespace as well as declared a PrinterSettings and PageSettings object in the Form’s class.
In C#:
private void btnPrintChart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrinterSettings printer1 = new PrinterSettings();
PageSettings page1 = new PageSettings();
this.ultraChart1.PrintChart(printer1, page1);
}
You can also print the chart to a specific printer device using specified settings. The sample code below illustrates how to print the chart in landscape orientation to a specific printer on the system named "ColorLaser".
Add a command button to the web form containing the chart you wish to print. The user will click this button to initiate the print job.
Add the following code to the Click event handler for the command button:
In Visual Basic:
Private Sub btnPrintChart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrintChart.Click
Dim printer1 As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
Dim page1 As New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings()
printer1.PrinterName = "ColorLaser"
page1.Landscape = True
Me.UltraChart1.PrintChart(printer1, page1)
End Sub
This code assumes that you have included the System.Drawing.Printing reference into your namespace as well as declared a PrinterSettings and PageSettings object in the Form’s class.
In C#:
private void btnPrintChart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
printer1 = new PrinterSettings();
page1 = new PageSettings(printer1);
printer1.PrinterName = "ColorLaser";
page1.Landscape = true;
this.ultraChart1.PrintChart(printer1, page1);
}
