Calendar: Image Export (BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG)

export314x251.png

It is possible to export the Calendar into several image formats:

  • BMP
  • GIF
  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • TIFF

Applications

  • Print the exported image reliably.
  • Save the exported image to a file.
  • Non-web applications:
    • Show a read-only calendar in WebForm applications
    • Include a Calendar snapshot in PDF files generated on the server
    • Include a Calendar snapshot in generated e-mails

Usage Modes

  • Special page: Put DayPilotCalendar (with the same configuration as on the dynamic page) on a special page and overwrite the Response stream in all cases.
  • PostBack: Use a button on an existing page and overwrite the Response stream in the button Click event handler (returns the image after clicking a button).
  • Desktop/server/console applications: Create the control dynamically and export the image from any other kind of application.

Signatures

public MemoryStream Export(ImageFormat format);
public MemoryStream Export(ImageFormat format, int scrollPosition);

Example

    protected void ButtonExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int hourHeight = DayPilotCalendar1.CellsPerHour*DayPilotCalendar1.CellHeight;

        Response.Clear();
        Response.ContentType = "image/png";
        MemoryStream img = DayPilotCalendar1.Export(ImageFormat.Png, 9 * hourHeight);
        img.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
        Response.End();

    }
