Has anyone successfully saved an asp.net chart? I've tried everything with the .saveimage() function but can't get it to work.

I'm using [^]

If you have some working code or know how, anything would help. Bonus points if you know how to save it to pdf :)

You need to set your web.config file

C#

<add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;dir=~/FolderName/Temppdf/;" />

<add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
       validate="false" />

XML

<handlers>
     <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated" />
     <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory" />
     <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" />
     <remove name="ScriptResource" />
     <remove name="ChartImageHandler" />
     <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode"
      type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
     <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd"
      preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
     <add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD"
      path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
     <add name="ChartImageHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD"
      path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
   </handlers>
