The resulting image.

Remarks

Use the ToImage method to get an image from any report control. You can use this image to display the control on a web page, or save the image to a file for later use. The textRenderingHint parameter determines whether the text is rendered with anti-aliasing.

Note

A control cannot be saved to an image if it does not belong to the report. So if you create a separate control for a report, first add the control to any report to call the ToImage method.
