StartInfo.Verb = “PrintTo” on vb.net 2010 not working for jpg file but work on pdf?

[Shohag_ifas]

Greetings,
hope all are fine
I am using vb.net 2010
i am trying to print jpg/image file in (theoretically) any type of file in background to specific printer.

so, i am using startinfo.verb = "PrintTo"

here is the used code:

        Dim objStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
        Dim objProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
        Dim sreport As String = "d:\Wallpaper\Personal Picture\X\DSC_0000500.jpg" but not here :(
        'Dim sreport As String = "c:\Documents and Settings\Y\Desktop\Zakir\New\requirements.pdf" rem works for pdf file
        'Dim sreport As String = "g:\My Documents\Word\Budget.doc" rem even works for document file
        Dim sPrinter As String = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer"
        Dim iloop As Integer
        Try
            objProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
            objProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
            objProcess.StartInfo.FileName = sreport
            objProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = """" & sPrinter & """"
            objProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "PrintTo"
            objProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
            objProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
            objProcess.Start()
            If objProcess.HasExited = False Then
                iloop = 0
                While Not objProcess.HasExited
                    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
                    iloop = CShort(iloop + 1)
                    cmdProcess.Text = iloop.ToString
                    Me.Refresh()
                    If iloop >= 300 Then
                        Exit While
                    End If
                End While
            End If
            objProcess.CloseMainWindow()
            objProcess.Close()
            objProcess.Dispose()
            objProcess = Nothing
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try

it works for doc,pdf files but when i try jpg file it not.

It shows error "No application is associated with the specified file for this operation"

i am so confused?

thanks in advance

best regards

you probably need to associate *.jpg file types with an application, for example Paint:

thanks for the reply though.. but i don't think that

by association it means what program a file will be open with right? if user double click or right click then open? right?

Normally my jpg file is associated with irfanview image viewer, but for that error i even tried to associate Photoshop to jpg file. but same error

however, thanks for your help again..
