Printing in Silverlight

0 comments
Printing is most valuable and required feature in business application. In this application, showing how we can take a print of our UI in silverlight. This is my xaml code which will create my UI to take print. Here a print button on click a print dialog box will appear.

We can also take the print of a part of our UI by passing the Id of that area like Grid/Canvas etc...


args.PageVisual = LayoutRoot; //Id of control to print

<UserControl x:Class="PrintInSilverlight.MainPage"

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Button Content="Submit" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="110,141,0,0"Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" />       
        <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,57,170,0" Name="textBox1"VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />
        <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="29,57,0,0" Name="textBlock1"Text="Name" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
        <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="29,103,0,0" Name="textBlock2"Text="Address" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
        <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="110,103,0,0" Name="textBox2"VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />
        <Button Content="Print" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="301,12,0,0" Name="button2"VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Click="button2_Click" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

This is .cs code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Windows.Printing;

namespace PrintInSilverlight
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {            
            // create an instance of PrintDocument
            PrintDocument document = new PrintDocument();
            // tell the API what to print
            document.PrintPage += (s, args) =>
            {
                args.PageVisual = LayoutRoot;
            };           
            document.Print("Print In Silverlight");
        }
    }
}

When you run application UI will look like this
