Problems with Exporting as png file - Please help.

Note:

I am using version 7.7.3086.1 with .Net 4.0, Visual Studio 2010 inside of a web application project.

Do you see this error with the latest release as well (8.1.3460)?

Dan,

I've tried upgrading the daypilot control - and discovered that the code I have is tied to version 7.x

The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'DayPilot, Version=7.7.3086.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=426941954f05e7fe' could not be loaded.

Any advice on how I get around that?

Thanks

Dave

Dan,

Two other issues I've just noticed:

1) Error 58 'DayPilot.Web.Ui.Events.Scheduler.EventDeleteEventArgs' does not contain a definition for 'Value' and no extension method 'Value' accepting a first argument of type 'DayPilot.Web.Ui.Events.Scheduler.EventDeleteEventArgs' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

2) Error 46 The type or namespace name 'EventDeleteEventArgs' does not exist in the namespace 'DayPilot.Web.Ui.Events' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Any ideas on resolving these?

Thanks

Dave

NB Those recent two postings were with DayPilot v8.13460 - the latest release.

Try to remove the reference to DayPilot.dll and add it again.

This signature is copied from the latest release (8.1.3460) and it should work fine.

using DayPilot.Web.Ui.Events.Scheduler;

// ...

protected void DayPilotScheduler1_EventDelete(object sender, EventDeleteEventArgs e)
{
  string id = e.Id;
}

The full name of this class is DayPilot.Web.Ui.Events.Scheduler.EventDeleteEventArgs.

Also, try using e.Id instead of e.Value.

Dan,

Thanks for your assistance - I've gotten DayPilot 8 working..

However, my original issue, remains, there is still a null reference exception error:

" at DayPilot.Web.Ui.Export.SchedulerExport.DrawTimeHeaderGroups(Graphics g, List`1 row1)\r\n at DayPilot.Web.Ui.Export.SchedulerExport.GetTimeHeader()\r\n at DayPilot.Web.Ui.Export.SchedulerExport.DrawTimeHeader(Graphics g)\r\n at DayPilot.Web.Ui.Export.SchedulerExport.Export()\r\n at DayPilot.Web.Ui.DayPilotScheduler.ExportBitmap()\r\n at DayPilot.Web.Ui.DayPilotScheduler.Export(ImageFormat format)"

Would you have any thoughts?

Thanks

Dave

Thanks - I'm checking the problem.

Do you use CellWidthSpec = "Auto"?

Dan,

Yes, that is used.

Dave

Dan,

I'm unsure of the time delay with someone (?) or you replying...
Is there any progress with this please?

Thanks

Dave

Sorry - let me check that.

Meanwhile, you can try setting a fixed width as a workaround.

Dan,

Apologies for the delay: I looked into setting a fixed width as a workaround.. However, given the nature of the project, I really would not want to make changes at this point.

How are things coming along with your investigations, please?

Thankyou very much for your time.

Dave

The problem should be fixed now in the latest sandbox build (8.1.3468):

http://www.daypilot.org/sandbox/

The exception will not appear anymore.

The behavior is as follows:

1. If the auto cell width mode is used (http://doc.daypilot.org/scheduler/auto-cell-width/) the server-side CellWidth value is used for the calculations. The current CellWidth value dynamically calculated on the client is not used because it is not sent back to the server.

2. If you want to print the whole width set DayPilotScheduler1.Width = Unit.Percentage(100); before exporting.

This way you can control the cell size while printing the full grid.

Dan,

Many thanks for sorting that for me/us.
I confirm that the version supplied resolves the issue.

Regards

Dave

Great, thanks for the update.
