In This Topic

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function Print( _
   ByVal pageDocument As PageDocument _
) As Boolean

public static bool Print( 
   PageDocument pageDocument
)

Parameters

pageDocument: The page document to print. This document contains the content and layout information for the print job.

Return Value

Returns true if the print operation completes successfully; otherwise, returns false. A return value of false may indicate that the user cancelled the print job or that an error occurred during printing.

Remarks

This method simplifies the printing process by using default settings, which include displaying the print dialog to the user, showing a print progress dialog during the printing process, and executing the print job on a separate thread to maintain UI responsiveness. It is designed for ease of use in common printing scenarios.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to print a page document using the default settings:

var pageReport = new PageReport();
PageDocument pageDocument = new PageDocument(pageReport);
bool printSuccess = pageDocument.Print();
if (printSuccess)
	Console.WriteLine("Printing completed successfully.");
else
	Console.WriteLine("Printing failed.");
