Generates a Flash movie, a JPEG image or a PNG image from a chart and returns the corresponding binary data.
object.ExportAsBinary
The ExportAsBinary method returns a binary value that contains the generated Flash movie, the JPEG image or the PNG image.
This method is actually similar to the ExportAsResponse method. However, ExportAsBinary does not require the Response object provided by the web server. The method actually:
The format of the generated file (i.e. Flash movie, JPEG image or PNG image) is defined by the method SetOutputFormat.
The following VBScript code illustrates use of the ExportAsBinary method in a ASP page.
'Create the chart series Response.Expires= 0 Response.ContentType= "application/x-shockwave-flash" Dim values_1(2) Dim values_2(2) values_1(0) = 10 values_1(1) = 20 values_1(2) = 30 values_2(0) = 100 values_2(1) = 200 values_2(2) = 300 chart.AddSeries chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray 0, values_1 chart.AddSeries chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray 1, values_2 'Set the graphics settings from a style file chart.LoadStyle "C:\myStyle.scs" 'The chart is complete, we can now generate the movie bin_swf= chart.ExportAsBinary 'Once generated, we simply write it into the Response object Response.BinaryWrite bin_swf
