Remarks

To print the document immediately without invoking any dialogs, use the ChartControlBase.PrintDirect method.

To show the standard Print dialog, use the ChartControlBase.Print method. The dialog allows end-users to print the chart, select the printer (if required), specify the range of pages to print, the number of copies, etc.

To export the chart, use the appropriate ExportTo~ method (e.g., ChartControlBase.ExportToHtml, ChartControlBase.ExportToPdf, etc.)

Important

The chart can be previewed, printed and exported only if the DXPrinting Library is available. Make sure you add a reference to the DevExpress.Xpf.Printing.v25.2 assembly.
