Suggestions for using Xceed Chart for .NET in a web farm

#18803 |

I’m looking for suggestions/best practices for using Xceed Chart for .NET in a web farm. For clarity, by web farm I mean a group of web servers that are load balanced behind a virtual IP.

The issue (as expected) is that the chart output is placed in the Xceed temp directory. When the client then gets the images the requests go through the VIP and may be directed to a server which does not contain the image.

One approach is to map the Xceed temp directory to a UNC share that all web servers access.

Looking for alternatives.

Thanks.

The component requires a directory in which to generate the chart output, so we see no other solution than to have a common path to all the servers.
