How about the Chart.SaveImage() method?

Thanks. I haven't ever been using the Chart control before and have somehow missed the method while searching. – Ivan Jun 02 '12 at 18:56

You can use the code below by passing proper ChartImageFormat.*:

this.chart1.SaveImage("C:\\mycode\\mychart.png", ChartImageFormat.Png);

Also look this SO if you met any problem: Save Image Using .net Chart and Saving higher resolution charts without messing up the appearance
