Generates the chart in the requested format and returns the corresponding binary data.

    object.ExportAsBinary

#### Arguments

object
  Required. A Chart object.

#### Return Value

The ExportAsBinary method returns a binary value that contains the generated SVG image, or JPEG / PNG image, or Flash movie, or PDF document.

#### Remarks

This method is actually similar to the ExportAsResponse method. However, ExportAsBinary does not require the Response object provided by the web server. The method actually:

- generates the content (SVG, PNG, JPG, SWF or PDF data) from the chart object,
- returns the data (movie, image or document) in binary form.

The format of the generated content can be specified by the method SetOutputFormat.

#### VBScript Sample Code

The following VBScript code illustrates use of the ExportAsBinary method in a ASP page.

    'Create the chart series
    Response.Expires= 0
    Response.ContentType= "application/x-shockwave-flash"

    Dim values_1(2)
    Dim values_2(2)

    values_1(0) = 10
    values_1(1) = 20
    values_1(2) = 30

    values_2(0) = 100
    values_2(1) = 200
    values_2(2) = 300

    chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray 0, values_1
    chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray 1, values_2

    'Set the graphics settings from a style file
    chart.LoadStyle "C:\myStyle.scs"

    'The chart is complete, we can now generate the movie
    bin_swf= chart.ExportAsBinary

    'Once generated, we simply write it into the Response object
    Response.BinaryWrite bin_swf
