I want to capture an image from NChartControl and then display it on the form.

I tried this:

//I add control to the form
System.Windows.Forms.Control control = new System.Windows.Forms.Control();
System.Drawing.Graphics g = control.CreateGraphics();

//control size is 100 to 100
System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(100,100,g);
chart.ImageExporter.RenderToBitmap(bitmap, false);

I expected to see chart image on the control. Instead of that I see white rectangle.

What I did wrong?
Is it mistake to use System.Windows.Forms.Control to display an image on it?

Hi Elvira,

The code below does not use the created bitmap in any way. The following code snippet shows how to render a bitmap and assign it to a picture box (this is the most simple approach you can use):

System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
nChartControl1.ImageExporter.RenderToBitmap(bitmap, false);
pictureBox1.Image = bitmap;

Hope this helps - let us know if you meet any problems.
