Thank you for writing.
We have internal methods that can export the Gantt to an image, they are used for printing. Here is how you can use them to create an image:
class MyGantt : RadGanttView{ public void Export(string path) { GanttViewTraverser traverser = new GanttViewTraverser(this.GanttViewElement); traverser.TraverseAllItems = true; List<GanttViewDataItem> flatItemsCollection = new List<GanttViewDataItem>(); while (traverser.MoveNext()) { flatItemsCollection.Add(traverser.Current); } float height = flatItemsCollection.Count * this.ItemHeight + this.HeaderHeight; float width = (float)((this.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineBehavior.AdjustedTimelineEnd.AddDays(1) - this.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineBehavior.AdjustedTimelineStart).TotalSeconds / (float)this.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.OnePixelTime.TotalSeconds); Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap((int)width,(int)height); int columnsWidth = 0; foreach (GanttViewTextViewColumn col in this.Columns) { if (col.Visible) { columnsWidth += col.Width; } } this.drawArea = new RectangleF(0, 0, columnsWidth, 100); using (Graphics grp = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)) { grp.FillRectangle( Brushes.White, 0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height); } this.DrawTextViewAndGraphicalViewToBitmap(bmp); this.DrawHeaderAndTimelineViewToBitmap(bmp); bmp.Save(path); }}I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Ok thanks. Worked for me.
I guess you guys have your reasons for making the methods internal.

Open the designer file and replace the default RadGantView with the custom one. The attached image shows how you can do that.

Hi,
I am trying to use you code, but I can get it the function radGanttView1.Export("path");
Am I missing something?
Many thanks,
Omar
I am not sure why this is not working on your side. I would recommend opening a support ticket and attaching your code. This way we will be able to properly investigate this case.
Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
