Question

When I print or printview the document I want to draw the current page count and the count of ALL pages on each page. In order that I override OnPrintPage of PrintDocument and use a counter data member to caculate the current page count. but before all pages printed I cann't get the all pages count information how can I do?

I see what you saying. I guess its easy to write a sample code then explaining here. I will try to write a sample if I find some free time. Schedule is pretty hectic. I am sure if you understand the basics of printing process its not hard at all.

No I think that you mistake my mind. with you idea I can get the page # of each pages certainly. But what I want to get is the whole printed pages count and draw this information on each page. That's say I want to print the information like 'Page # of ?' on each page.

Are you sure you can't get page # before all pages are printed? OnPrintPage event is fired for each page and you can store the page count in a public varialbe and make it available where PrintDocument is doint its job. Is there any thing else which I am missing here?
