Printing on Web Forms

[User (Legacy)]

Your documentation shows the Print button the Chart FX toolbar printing only 

the chart itself. However, when using the chart in web forms it just tells 

the browser to print the whole page, and the rest is an ugly, useless printout. 

Is there a way to make it work as advertised?

Thanks

I don't know exactly which part of the documentation are you referring to, 

the print button will print the chart only if you use the Client Control 

(.NET or ActiveX), if you are generating an image, the print button will 

print the whole page.

In general, what you can do in the client using an Image and AJAX is limited 

when compared to what you can do using the Client Control, however, using an 

image offer other advantages such as compatibility with most browsers and 

platforms (Client Controls only work in IE under Windows), zero footprint 

and lower security requirements while still providing a rich UI.

We support both so the choice is ultimately yours. In my experience, the 

Client Control makes most sense in Intranets where deployment, browser 

standardization and security issues can be resolved at a company level, 

while image generation is generally the best option for public web sites, of 

course this is just a general rule and may not apply to a the specific 

situation.
