Initiate Export Through Link

[NoBullMan]

Hi,

how can I initiate the exporting of a chart to image or PDF through anything but context menu (e.g. through link button, button, drop down list selection, etc.)?

 

Thanks.

Is it possible to do this on server side, in link button's OnClick event?

I create the XML in code behind dynamically and use FusionCharts.RenderChartHTML to render the chart. I need to be able to do this on server side. Is it possible?

When exporting the charts as images/PDFs using server-side Export Handlers, there are two actions that you can choose from:

1. Download to end user - Return the generated image/PDF back to the client (browser) for downloading

2. Save on server disk - Save the image on server-disk and return the URL of the same to callback JavaScript functions

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have already got the exporting to work using "Download" method. But it is initiated through context menu. As you are familiar witht users, it might not dawn on them to righ click on the chart to get the context menu and initiate a download. I wanted to add a link button with some text like "click here to download chart" and was wondering how I can initiate the downloading in the OnClick event of the link button.

Hi,

 

You would need to call the export function in the OnClick element of anchor tag.

 

Ref. Code:

<a href="#" OnClick="ExportMyChart();" title="Download Chart">click here to download chart</a>

 

Please find attached illustration which is exporting the chart at server-side.
