Print(Boolean,Boolean,Boolean) Method

Sends the document content to the printer, specifying whether print and print progress dialogs will be shown, and whether printing will be done in a separate thread.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function Print( _
   ByVal showPrintDialog As Boolean, _
   ByVal showPrintProgressDialog As Boolean, _
   ByVal usePrintingThread As Boolean _
) As Boolean

public bool Print( 
   bool showPrintDialog,
   bool showPrintProgressDialog,
   bool usePrintingThread
)

Parameters

showPrintDialog

Specifies whether or not the Print dialog should be shown.

showPrintProgressDialog

Specifies whether or not the PrintProgress dialog should be shown.

usePrintingThread

Specifies whether the printing is done in a separate thread or in the same thread.

If printing is done in a separate thread and the application is shut down right after the print call, the separate thread will die before the report is printed.

Remarks

Please note that the document does not exist until the report has been run, so reports must be run prior to calling the Print method.

Example

private void rptPrint_ReportStart(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{
    this.Document.Printer.PrinterSettings.Copies=5;
}

private void rptPrint_ReportEnd(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{    
    this.Document.Print(false, false, false);
}
