Export the AmChart In Folder In ASP.NET MVC

Here, we will learn how to save the charts in the folder on export the chart in ASP.NET MVC 5. Charts are very useful for seeing how much work is done in any place in a short time of period.

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of jQuery.
• Basic Mvc.Net knowledge.
• Data from which we can generate the charts.

Create a new project in ASP.NET MVC.

We are going to use the following jQuery libraries provided by amCharts.

<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/core.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/charts.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/plugins/forceDirected.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/themes/animated.js"></script>

Open the View -> Home -> Index.cshtml and write the code for generating the chart.

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<style>
    body {
  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
}

#chartdiv {
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
}

input {
  position: absolute;
  top: 2em;
  right: 2em;
  padding: 1em 2em;
}


</style>

<div id="chartdiv"></div>
<input type="button" value="Export PNG" >
 
 
put the below code into a Home controller for save the chart image into a specific folder.
 
[HttpPost]
      public JsonResult SaveImage(string base64)
      {
          string filePath = "";
          
          string FileName = string.Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd_hh-mm-ss-tt}", DateTime.Now);
          string DomainName = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DomainName"];

          try
          {
              var imageParts = base64.Split(',').ToList<string>();
              
              byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(imageParts[1]);


              MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
              // Convert byte[] to Image
              ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
              Image image = Image.FromStream(ms, true);

              using (var newImage = new Bitmap(800,800))
              using (var graphics = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))
              using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
              {
                  graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
                  graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
                  graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
                  graphics.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, 800, 800));
                  newImage.Save(stream, ImageFormat.Png);
                  //return File(stream.ToArray(), "image/png");
                  byte[] bytes = stream.ToArray();
                  filePath = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Image/" + FileName + ".png");
                  System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(filePath, bytes);
                  filePath = DomainName + "Image/" + FileName + ".png";
              }
          }
          catch (Exception ex)
          {
              filePath = "";
          }



          return Json(filePath, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
      }
 
 
 
In this action pass the images as Base64  formate it converts the base64 to the image file and saves into a specific folder.
 
Please add a Domain Key in the web.config into appSetting tag like below.
 
<add key="DomainName" value="http://localhost:42213//" />
 
 
 
Output:
