Visual Basic

Copy Code

[Visual Basic] Imports Dundas.Charting.WinControl ... ' Create MemoryStream object Dim myStream As New MemoryStream() ' Save chart appearance properties that have non-default values., as well as axis labels. Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance ' We can concatenate the Content property string and the SerializableContent string, since the Content ' property is implemented internally as the SerializableContent property. Since we use the ' SerializableContent property we also need to persist the ChartArea and Series object's names, ' otherwise these serialized properties will be applied to new ChartArea and Series objects ' when the data is loaded. Chart1.Serializer .SerializableContent += ",DataPoint.AxisLabel,Series.AxisLabels,Series.Name,ChartArea.Name" Chart1.Serializer .Save(myStream) ... ' Load the serialized data Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance Chart1.Serializer .SerializableContent += ",DataPoint.AxisLabel,Series.AxisLabels,Series.Name,ChartArea.Name" Chart1.Serializer .Load (myStream)

C#

Copy Code

using Dundas.Charting.WinControl; ... // Create MemoryStream object MemoryStream myStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); // Save chart appearance properties that have non-default values, as well as axis labels. Chart1.Serializer .Content= SerializationContent.Appearance; // We can concatenate the Content property string and the SerializableContent string, since the Content //   property is implemented internally as the SerializableContent property. Since we use the //   SerializableContent property we also need to persist the ChartArea and Series object's names, //   otherwise these serialized properties will be applied to new ChartArea and Series objects //    when the data is loaded. Chart1.Serializer .SerializableContent += ",DataPoint.AxisLabel,Series.AxisLabels,Series.Name,ChartArea.Name"; Chart1.Serializer.Save (myStream); ... // Load the serialized data. Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance; Chart1.Serializer .SerializableContent += ",DataPoint.AxisLabel,Series.AxisLabels,Series.Name,ChartArea.Name"; Chart1.Serializer .Load(myStream);
