'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function Print( _
   ByVal sectionDocument As SectionDocument, _
   ByVal showPrintDialog As Boolean, _
   ByVal showPrintProgressDialog As Boolean _
) As Boolean

public static bool Print( 
   SectionDocument sectionDocument,
   bool showPrintDialog,
   bool showPrintProgressDialog
)

Parameters

sectionDocument: The section document to be printed.
showPrintDialog: Specifies whether the print dialog should be shown to the user. If true, the print dialog is displayed, allowing the user to select printer settings.
showPrintProgressDialog: Specifies whether the print progress dialog should be shown during the printing process. If true, the progress dialog is displayed, providing feedback about the printing status.

Return Value

true if the print operation completes successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method offers more control over the printing process by allowing the user to decide whether to display the print dialog and the print progress dialog. It defaults to using the printing thread for the operation, ensuring that the UI remains responsive during printing.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to print a section document with both the print dialog and the print progress dialog displayed:

SectionDocument sectionDocument = new SectionDocument();
sectionDocument.Load("C:\\Report.rdf");
bool printSuccess = sectionDocument.Print(showPrintDialog: true, showPrintProgressDialog: true);
if (printSuccess)
    Console.WriteLine("Printing completed successfully.");
else
    Console.WriteLine("Printing failed.");
