Print Selected Pages Using PrintDialog

Question

I have created a Windows Application. Printing works fine with the help of printDocument and printDialog.

The problem appears when I print a selected range of pages. In that case nothing happens. If I choose the default option of "All" in the print dialog then it prints all the pages successfully.

Where is the problem and how it could be resolved.

i think u forgot to delegate the PrintPage eventso while u want to print the selected page but nothing. this is a simple example i hope it can help umaybe it has some bug but i think u can handle : ////////////////////////////////// using System; using System.Drawing.Printing; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; namespace EDImageSystem { /// /// PrintService /// public class PrintService { public PrintService() { this.docToPrint.PrintPage+=new PrintPageEventHandler(docToPrint_PrintPage); } // Declare the PrintDocument object. private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument docToPrint = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();//initialize PrintDocument private System.IO.Stream streamToPrint; string streamType; // This method will set properties on the PrintDialog object and // then display the dialog. public void StartPrint(Stream streamToPrintstring streamType) { this.streamToPrint=streamToPrint; this.streamType=streamType; // Allow the user to choose the page range he or she would // like to print. System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog PrintDialog1=new PrintDialog ();//initialize a PrintDialog PrintDialog1.AllowSomePages = true; // Show the help button. PrintDialog1.ShowHelp = true; // Set the Document property to the PrintDocument for // which the PrintPage Event has been handled. To display the // dialog either this property or the PrinterSettings property // must be set PrintDialog1.Document = docToPrint; DialogResult result = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog();/ // If the result is OK then print the document. if (result==DialogResult.OK) { docToPrint.Print(); } } // The PrintDialog will print the document // by handling the document’s PrintPage event. private void docToPrint_PrintPage(object sender System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e) { // Insert code to render the page here. // This code will be called when the control is drawn. // The following code will render a simple // message on the printed document switch(this.streamType) { case txt: string text = null; System.Drawing.Font printFont = new System.Drawing.Font (Arial 35 System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular); // Draw the content. System.IO.StreamReader streamReader=new StreamReader(this.streamToPrint); text=streamReader.ReadToEnd(); e.Graphics.DrawString(textprintFontSystem.Drawing.Brushes.Blacke.MarginBounds.Xe.MarginBounds.Y); break; case image: System.Drawing.Image image=System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(this.streamToPrint); int x=e.MarginBounds.X; int y=e.MarginBounds.Y; int width=image.Width; int height=image.Height; if((width/e.MarginBounds.Width)>(height/e.MarginBounds.Height)) { width=e.MarginBounds.Width; height=image.Height*e.MarginBounds.Width/image.Width; } else { height=e.MarginBounds.Height; width=image.Width*e.MarginBounds.Height/image.Height; } System.Drawing.Rectangle destRect=new System.Drawing.Rectangle(xywidthheight); e.Graphics.DrawImage(imagedestRect00image.Widthimage.HeightSystem.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel); break; default: break; } } } }

Let me make the problem more clearer. I have created a Windows Application in C# 2005. For the purpose of printing I have used printDocument and printDialog printPreview Controls. When I select the default option of All pages and click on print in the print dialog box then it prints all the pages without any problem. Now the issue arises when I go for the printing of selected pages. You know in the print dialog box there are a few options which a user can select to print some specific pages. For example: Selection Current Page Pages (with a text box where user can enter a range of pages to print). I have enabled these options in the printDialog box. Further when I use any of these options and issue a print command then nothing gets printed. I am unable to trap the problem. Where I should work out to resolve it. I hope now the description of the problem would be more clearer and understandable. Please help me out to get the proper solution of it. Regards!
