Javier:
Sorry this is VB.NET you'll have to translate.
MathKernel1.GraphicsHeight = 100
MathKernel1.GraphicsWidth = 100
MathKernel1.CaptureGraphics = True
MathKernel1.ResultFormat =
MathKernel.ResultFormatType.TraditionalForm
MathKernel1.Compute("3 + 2")
If TypeOf MathKernel1.Result Is System.Drawing.Image Then
MathKernel1.Result.Save(Response.OutputStream,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif)
End If
I'm using the latest .NET/Link I did not need a temp image Bitmap Object.
Result.Save when TraditionalForm is enumerated takes on the type
System.Drawing.Image
I think all you need is
C#
if(Global.mathKernel.Result is System.Drawing.Image)
{
Global.mathKernel.Result.Save(Response.OutputStream,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) ;
};
Else you can output blank bitmap.

I think some of you may need to use some "using" declaration to include
class namespaces thus you can keep your scope short.
On another note which IDE are you using to generate the ASP.NET code?
If you are doing this from scratch consider using
WebMatrix
http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/default.aspx?tabIndex=4&tabId=46
It allows class browsing which is what I think you need so you can look at
what the properties /methods need as input.
No intellisense.
Review about it http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/061803-1.aspx
Eclispse and .NET Framework SDK
http://www.sys-con.com/webservices/article.cfm?id=360
I would not recommend using the Free Microsoft Express tools. (But its free)
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/
They require using the .NET Framework 2.0 which is a beta.I don't know it it
can exist side by side with .NET Framework 1.0 or 1.1.
