ActiveReports provides access to Print methods to enable printing of page and section reports. You can access Print methods in any of the following ways:

• Viewer.Print method (using the Viewer control)
• Print methods in SectionDocument or PageDocument
• Print methods in the PrintExtension class

Viewer.Print method

The code sample illustrate how to access the the print method using the Viewer conrol.

You can use the Print method of the Viewer class to print a report loaded in the Viewer control. Make sure that the report is loaded completely before Print is executed.

Viewer1.Print(True, True, True)

viewer1.Print(true, true, true);

Print methods in SectionDocument or PageDocument

SectionDocument and PageDocument types have Print methods that can be used directly on the document object. The following code samples illustrate how to access the print methods that can be used directly on the document object.

Note: The Print method is implemented as an extension method of the PrintExtension.Print method, which is present in Grapecity.ActiveReport namespace of GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Win.v9 assembly. In order to access Print method through SectionDocument or PageDocument class, you need to add GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Win.v9 reference to the project. Also, as mentioned in the code, make sure that you add a reference for the GrapeCity.ActiveReports namespace in your project using Imports (Visual Basic.NET) or using (C#) statement.

Section Report

Imports GrapeCity.ActiveReports

Dim file_name As String = "..\..\PageReport1.rdlx"
Dim pageReport As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(New System.IO.FileInfo(file_name))
Dim pageDocument As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument(pageReport)
pageDocument.Print(True, True, False)

using GrapeCity.ActiveReports;

var rpt = new SectionReport1();
rpt.Run(false);
var sectionDocument = rpt.Document;
sectionDocument.Print(true, true, false);

Page Report

Imports GrapeCity.ActiveReports

Dim rpt = New SectionReport1()
rpt.Run(False)
Dim sectionDocument = rpt.Document
sectionDocument.Print(True, True, False)

using GrapeCity.ActiveReports;

string file_name = @"..\..\PageReport1.rdlx";
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport pageReport = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(new System.IO.FileInfo(file_name));
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument pageDocument = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument(pageReport);
pageDocument.Print(true, true, false);

Print methods in the PrintExtension class

You can use the Print method of the PrintExtension class to print a report loaded in the Viewer control. Make sure that the report is loaded completely before Print is executed. The following code samples illustrate how to access the print method of the PrintExtension class.

Note: The Print method is implemented as an extension method of the PrintExtension.Print method, which is present in Grapecity.ActiveReport namespace of GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Win.v9 assembly. In order to access Print method through SectionDocument or PageDocument class, you need to add GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Win.v9 reference to the project. Also, as mentioned in the code, make sure that you add a reference for the GrapeCity.ActiveReports namespace in your project using Imports (Visual Basic.NET) or using (C#) statement.

Section Report

GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(sectionDocument, True, True)

GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(sectionDocument, true, true);

Page Report

GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(pageDocument, True, True)

GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(pageDocument, true, true);
