Import Stream

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am trying to import a stream (Metafile) into a chart and got "Index was

outside the bounds of the array" exception.

Sample code:

    Chart chart = new Chart();

    chart.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);

    chart.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 200);

    chart.NSeries = 1;

    chart.NValues = 10;

    chart.Import(myStream);    //myStream is a MemoryStream of Metafile

format

I also tried:

    chart.Import(FileFormat.Metafile, myStream);  //myStream is a

MemoryStream of Metafile format

then got "Import: Invalid format value (Metafile)" exception.

Please help.  Thanks.

I read that you are trying to IMPORT the chart from a metafile.

This is not possible, a chart contains a lot of information, data, 

properties, etc. A metafile is just a picture.

You can export the chart to a metafile but you can not import one from it, 

it is kind of like you can export a screenshot of your screen into a bitmap 

but you can not import that bitmap and recreate the state of your computer 

at that moment just from the bitmap.
