Print(String,LlProject,String) Method

In This Topic

This key method handles the databound printing. Assign a DataSource to the component and call this method to start a print job.

This overload allows to set the printer name temporarily for this print to the specified name. Please note the following:

The printer will be set for all regions if there are multiple regions in a project.
Changing the printer name is only temporary, as soon as the name is empty, the original printer name set in the project will be used again.
If a Print("<Printer>") is followed by a Print(), also the original printer name set in the project will be used again.
If an exception is triggered during printing (e.g. by the button "Cancel" in the print options dialog) which is catched in the code and a new print without a printer name is started afterwards, the default printer/design settings are active, not the printer from the cancelled print job.

projectType

Project type. See LlProject. Can also be set via the AutoProjectType Property.

File name of the project or default for the file selection dialog.

Multiple file names can also be passed semicolon-separated. Then a combination print is performed and the outputs of the individual projects are summarized as total output.
