Command Line Print embedded in C# not working

Question

HI There

I'm using FOXIT READER to print a PDF to a network.

When I run the following in command line at DOS prompt

C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader>"foxit reader.exe" /t "c:\po222.pdf" "\\CCS-BAR-001\NRG SP 4100N PS"  

It works fine

 
However, when I embed the command line into Visual Studio C# using the Process Class, it fails to recognize the printer name.

 

I think this has something to do with there being both a double forward slash and single forward slash in the printer name which C# is failing to recognise even though I am using @ in front of the string to represent the literal string.

 

My C# code is :

 

            string testFile = "c:\\po222.pdf";

            string testPrinter = @"\\CCS-BAR-001\NRG SP 4100N PS";

 

            Process pdfProcess = new Process();

            pdfProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;

            pdfProcess.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe";

            pdfProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("/t {0} {1}", testFile, testPrinter);

            pdfProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;

            pdfProcess.Start();

            pdfProcess.CloseMainWindow();

I can't see what I'm doing wrong. Can you spot anything out of place.

 

Any help would be gratefully received.
 

Kind regards

Answer 1

There's a couple of ways you can do it. You can create a panel containing all the controls you want for the advanced mode, and set it to be not visible by default. Now the button you press can alter the visibility of that panel. If you place all of the controls in a Panel called panel1, add this line to your button click event: this.panel1.Visible = !this.panel1.Visible; Add anything else to modify the text of the button if you wish. Another way to do it might be to create two different forms, but have one be the advanced, and the other the basic. There might be a good way to do that using inheritance, but having never done that myself, I can't give you too much input on it.
