printer problem with the printpreview control along wiith the printdocument class

[maged]

Dear all,
I have made a report for displaying workers data and images using vb.net .

i used a print document control, and a print privew control.

after a very hard work for a couple of days. i managed to understand how this manual reporting technique works,

the report now is in a very good shape.

if it is a mullti oages. it works fine for viewing on screen.

when i press the print bottom the printing box keeps counting to infinity ( no., of pages far exceeds the real no. of pages in the view.)

can any one explain in details what is this problem???

I've had a similar problem before. Mine was because the code for the printing [some variable] were not reset after the print preview.

I guess your using global variable. I can help if I see your code, can you post it?

dear robymix,
i figured out what is the problem, i will advise you the solution.


in the report document of vb.net, each time a print order is given the printpage event of the print document is invoked. so you should place the printing routine in this event. my mistake was that i coded the print routine in the startup of the page. so it is only done once then every other print jobs is not executed.


I hope this could help you

I designed an entire class library around building reports with vb.net printing... call it a poor mans crystal reports I had a similar problem but it was due to teh fat that I referenced to the wrong object I used wrong references... sometimes it's easy to get sloppy


good luck, printing in vb.net is a charm!!
