Hi Hans, This is a response for the following topics, where using NETLink and the examples included in Mathematica, I wanted to change the ResultFormatType of my ASP.NET Web Application, so that I could show the result of the Compute() method in a smart format. (For example, TraditionalForm instead of OutputForm). http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2005/Mar/msg00707.html http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2005/Mar/msg00256.html I have been working with the same idea but I haven't solved the solution to my problem yet. I have 3 WebForms in my web application: WebForm1 --> Main Graphics --> Used to see IMAGE returned by mathKernel.Link.EvaluateToImage() Results ---> Used to see IMAGE returned by mathKernel.Result() when ResulFormatType is TraditionalForm The Graphics.aspx form works properly, and I can see the image returned by mathKernel.Link.EvaluateToImage(), but the Results.aspx doesn't work, and I cannot see the image returned by mathKernel.Result() when ResulFormatType is TraditionalForm: private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { string input = WebForm1.mathKernel.Input.ToString(); WebForm1.mathKernel.CaptureGraphics = true; WebForm1.mathKernel.ResultFormat = Wolfram.NETLink.MathKernel.ResultFormatType.TraditionalForm; WebForm1.mathKernel.Compute(input); image = (System.Drawing.Image)WebForm1.mathKernel.Result; image.Save(Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); } I enclose here the full code of the following files: 1.- WebForm1.aspx 2.- WebForm1.aspx.cs 3.- Graphics.aspx 4.- Graphics.aspx.cs 5.- Results.aspx 6.- Results.aspx.cs Thank you very much, Javier Chicote P.D. I also tried to do this in the WIN application, with WinForms instead of WebForms, but there is an error when executing mathKernelCompute() after changing the ResultFormatType to TraditionalForm. (In my Web Application there is no errors but the image is not shown) P.D.2 Other types of ResultFormat, such as InputForm and Expr works perfectly (I suppose that because a string is returned, like with the default OutputForm). //========================================================================= // 1.- WebForm1.aspx //========================================================================= <%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="MathKernelApp2.WebForm1" %> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" > <HTML> <HEAD> <title>WebForm1</title> <meta name="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1"> <meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" Content="C#"> <meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript"> <meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5";> </HEAD> <body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" bgColor="#cccccc"> <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server"> <asp:textbox id="resultBox" style="Z-INDEX: 103; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 72px" runat="server" Font-Size="9pt" Font-Names="Lucida Console" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="56px" Width="464px"></asp:textbox> <asp:image id="resultsImage" style="Z-INDEX: 110; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 136px" runat="server" Height="56px" Width="465px" ImageUrl="Results.aspx"></asp:image> <asp:label id="graphicsLabel" style="Z-INDEX: 109; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 200px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Font-Bold="True">Graphics:</asp:label> <asp:image id="graphicsImage" style="Z-INDEX: 107; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 216px" runat="server" Height="200px" Width="200px" ImageUrl="Graphics.aspx"></asp:image> <asp:button id="closeButton" style="Z-INDEX: 106; LEFT: 400px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 384px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Height="32px" Width="74px" ToolTip="Obtener el resultado" Text="Close" Enabled="False"></asp:button> <asp:button id="connectButton" style="Z-INDEX: 105; LEFT: 320px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 384px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Height="32px" Width="74px" ToolTip="Obtener el resultado" Text="Connect"></asp:button> <asp:label id="resultLabel" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 56px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Font-Bold="True">Resultado:</asp:label> <asp:label id="inputLabel" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 8px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Font-Bold="True">Entrada:</asp:label> <asp:textbox id="inputBox" style="Z-INDEX: 100; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 24px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Height="24px" Width="376px"> Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0-2,2}]</asp:textbox> <asp:button id="computeButton" style="Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 400px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 20px" runat="server" Font-Size="10pt" Font-Names="Microsoft Sans Serif" Height="32px" Width="74px" ToolTip="Obtener el resultado" Text="Calcular" Enabled="False"></asp:button> </form> </body> </HTML> //========================================================================= // 2.- WebForm1.aspx.cs //========================================================================= using System; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Web; using System.Web.SessionState; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; namespace MathKernelApp2 { /// <summary> /// Descripción breve de WebForm1. /// </summary> public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page { protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button computeButton; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox inputBox; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label inputLabel; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label resultLabel; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button connectButton; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button closeButton; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox resultBox; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image graphicsImage; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label graphicsLabel; protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image resultsImage; // Interface for interacting with Mathematica public static Wolfram.NETLink.MathKernel mathKernel; private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Introducir aquí el código de usuario para inicializar la página } #region Código generado por el Diseñador de Web Forms override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e) { // // CODEGEN: llamada requerida por el Diseñador de Web Forms ASP.NET. // InitializeComponent(); base.OnInit(e); } /// <summary> /// Método necesario para admitir el Diseñador.
