Create a Dynamic Pie Graph with Export in the Excel file Without Creating an Excel Object

Introduction

Now that you know how to create a simple image from an ASP.NET Web page, you can create more complex (and useful) images. For the remainder of this article I'll look at how to use the .NET Framework drawing classes to create a pie chart from database information. I'll build all of this functionality into a set of functions in an ASP.NET Web page that will end up streaming the dynamically created pie chart's binary content to the Response object's OutputStream.

While creating a set of page-level functions to display a pie chart will accomplish the task at hand, a more reusable solution would be to encapsulate this functionality into a custom-defined ASP.NET Web control or compiled custom control. One disadvantage of such an approach, though, would be that the custom-defined ASP.NET Web control or compiled custom control would have to save the image's file to the Web server's file system and then render it from an appropriate img tag. While this isn't difficult to accomplish, you'll have to deal with the disadvantages I mentioned earlier, including the fact that each time a chart is generated you'll keep adding to the list of images on the Web server's file system.

The CreatePieChart Function for That create ASPX Page

Create another ASPX Page like(testintvsoffer.aspx)
On this page Drag-Drop one datagrid and one Button

Name of the button is btnTransferToXls.

Region "On Click Button Transfer To Xls "

Advantages

Multiple users can have access at the same time
Generate the images (graph) according to the user sessions
Export the GIF images with the data in the Excel file from report point of view
Generate the dynamic graph for each user request
Graphical representation of the data so that user has an easier way of understanding the output of the system data

Possible Enhancements

The CreatePieChart function lacks the bang and pizzazz that a third-party graphing component may provide, but this function was created in less than 15 minutes, costs nothing (except my time), and, best of all, has the source code readily available for any future changes or enhancements you may be interested in making.

One possible enhancement for the CreatePieChart function would be to add the ability to pass in an SQL string as opposed to a database table name. In its current state, the CreatePieChart graph can only create pie charts for databases that have very simple data models. Being able to specify an SQL string means you could create graphs where the data comes from multiple tables, or graph only certain rows from a database table by specifying a WHERE clause.

Conclusion

Because ASP.NET allows you to use the classes from the .NET Framework, with a little bit of code you can create your own dynamic images from a Web page. These images can either be saved to the Web server's file system or streamed directly to the browser. All of the image-generation routines you will ever need are included in the .NET Framework. The charts and graphs you can create are limited only by your imagination.
