Well you stated the problem in a different way but no solution. This is what i did <br />
<br />
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(BMP_HEIGHT, BMP_WIDTH);<br />
System.Drawing.Graphics chart;<br />
<br />
.........Page_load(.......<wbr />......)<br />
{<br />
chart = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)<wbr />;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Seems to be working for now. Do you think this could be a problem later.

Haven't tried it, but maybe this:?<br />
<br />
System.Drawing.Graphics chart = Graphics.FromImage(new Bitmap(BMP_HEIGHT, BMP_WIDTH));
</div>


Haven't tried it, but maybe this:?

System.Drawing.Graphics chart = Graphics.FromImage(new Bitmap(BMP_HEIGHT, BMP_WIDTH));

<div>
try initializing the statement<br />
<br />
System.Drawing.Graphics chart = null;
</div>


try initializing the statement

System.Drawing.Graphics chart = null;

A field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic field, method, or property

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
