How to output ActiveView to JPEG image using ArcObjects?

Question

I have an ArcGIS Desktop extension and I need to extract images from the map.

How can I programmatically output the active view to a jpeg image?

Answer 1

There are two Visual Studio snippets that exports the active view as a JPEG:

• Create JPEG (hi-resolution) from ActiveView Snippet :

Creates a .jpg (JPEG) file from IActiveView using a high resolution exporting option. Default values of 96 DPI are overwritten to 300 used for the image creation.

• Create JPEG from ActiveView Snippet :

Creates a .jpg (JPEG) file from IActiveView. Default values of 96 DPI are used for the image creation.
