Hi Hans,
I translated the code you told me, but I obteined an error while compiling:
Global.mathKernel.GraphicsHeight = 100;
Global.mathKernel.GraphicsWidth = 100;
Global.mathKernel.CaptureGraphics = true;
Global.mathKernel.ResultFormat =
Wolfram.NETLink.MathKernel.ResultFormatType.TraditionalForm;
Global.mathKernel.Compute("x^2");
if (Global.mathKernel.Result is System.Drawing.Image)
{
Global.mathKernel.Result.Save (Response.OutputStream,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); //ERROR
}
In the last line it says that 'object' doesn't contain a definition for
'Save'. In fact when I am writing Global.mathKernel.Result. I can only
choose beetween Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString.
Regards,
Javier Chicote
Universidad del Pais Vasco
P.D. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
