want to create custom control using graphics

[rushikesh.joshi]

Hi All,

I want to create a webcontrol which will generate a bar (bar chart). I
have done some graphics code in my ASPX page and it's working fine, but
how do i create a Custom Control or User Control for same (custom
control is prefarable).

Below is my code of ASPX page which is working fine....
Here i have used Response, to generate the bar but how do i use it in
the webcontrols...

Thanks & Regards,
Rushikesh

CODE:

<%@ Page Language="C#" debug="true"%>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing.Imaging" %>

<script language="C#" runat="server">

void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap objBitmap = new Bitmap(200,200);

Graphics objGraphic = Graphics.FromImage(objBitmap);

SolidBrush redBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
SolidBrush blueBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Blue);
SolidBrush greenBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Green);
SolidBrush whiteBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White);
Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 2);

objGraphic.FillRectangle(whiteBrush, 0, 0, 200, 200);

objGraphic.DrawLine(blackPen, new Point(0,195), new Point(195,195));
objGraphic.DrawLine(blackPen, new Point(5,5), new Point(5,200));

Single sngHighestValue, sngHeight1, sngHeight2, sngHeight3;
Single sngValue1, sngValue2, sngValue3;

sngValue1 = Convert.ToSingle(Request["v1"]);
sngValue2 = Convert.ToSingle(Request["v2"]);
sngValue3 = Convert.ToSingle(Request["v3"]);

if (sngValue1 > sngValue2)
sngHighestValue = sngValue1;
else
sngHighestValue = sngValue2;

if (sngValue3 > sngHighestValue)
sngHighestValue = sngValue3;

if (sngHighestValue == 0)
sngHighestValue = 1;

sngHeight1 = (sngValue1 / sngHighestValue) * 190;
sngHeight2 = (sngValue2 / sngHighestValue) * 190;
sngHeight3 = (sngValue3 / sngHighestValue) * 190;

objGraphic.FillRectangle(redBrush, 10, 194-sngHeight1, 50,
sngHeight1);
objGraphic.FillRectangle(blueBrush, 70, 194-sngHeight2, 50,
sngHeight2);
objGraphic.FillRectangle(greenBrush, 130, 194-sngHeight3, 50,
sngHeight3);

Response.ContentType = "image/gif";

objBitmap.Save (Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif);

}

</script>

Thanks

Hi Rushikesh,

You could also put an image tag on an ASPX and use as source the path to
the aspx that generates the image.

Hi Ward,

Thankyou for your quick response,

Yes you are right, but i want to generate this image based on some
parameter. I want to pass the parameters in Array form and based on
that i want to create the image and because of that i want to create a
control.

Is there anyother way around?

thanks & regards
