Print Methods In ActiveReports

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
Print methods in SectionDocument or PageDocument
Print methods in the PrintExtension class

The following code samples illustrate how to access these Print methods.

Viewer.Print method

Visual Basic.NET code. Add this code INSIDE the LoadCompleted event of the Viewer	Copy Code
Viewer1.Print(True, True, True)

C# code. Add this code INSIDE the LoadCompleted event of the Viewer	Copy Code
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.

Section Report

To write the code in Visual Basic.NET

Visual Basic.NET code. Paste at the top of the code view.	Copy Code
Imports GrapeCity.ActiveReports

Visual Basic.NET code. Paste INSIDE the Form_Load event.	Copy Code
Dim rpt = New SectionReport1() rpt.Run(False) Dim sectionDocument = rpt.Document sectionDocument.Print(True, True, False)

To write the code in C#

C# code. Paste at the top of the code view.	Copy Code
using GrapeCity.ActiveReports;

C# code. Paste INSIDE the Form_Load event.	Copy Code
var rpt = new SectionReport1(); rpt.Run(false); var sectionDocument = rpt.Document; sectionDocument.Print(true, true, false);

Page Report

To write code in Visual Basic.NET

Visual Basic.NET code. Paste at the top of the code view.	Copy Code
Imports GrapeCity.ActiveReports

Visual Basic.NET code. Paste INSIDE the Form_Load event.	Copy Code
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)

To write code in C#

C# code. Paste at the top of the code view.	Copy Code
using GrapeCity.ActiveReports;

C# code. Paste INSIDE the Form_Load event.	Copy Code
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);

Note: The Print method is similar to PrintExtension.Print. For details see Print methods in the PrintExtension class below.

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.

SectionReport

Visual Basic.NET code. Paste INSIDE an event like Button_Click.	Copy Code
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(sectionDocument, True, True)

C# code. Paste INSIDE an event like Button_Click.	Copy Code
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(sectionDocument, true, true);

PageReport

Visual Basic.NET code. Paste INSIDE an event like Button_Click.	Copy Code
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(pageDocument, True, True)

C# code. Paste INSIDE an event like Button_Click.	Copy Code
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(pageDocument, true, true);

Note: The Print methods above are accessible through the GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer.Win.v8 assembly. Make sure that you add a reference to this assembly and an Imports (Visual Basic.NET) or using (C#) statement for the GrapeCity.ActiveReports namespace in your project.
