Any experience or ideas printing labels from Dot.net (C#) - what's the best way
Current project uses 2 column/5 row and 3 column/10 rows labels. TIA

Hi,
Both Crystal and Reporting Services can be used. Maybe it's a little bit easier with crystal (mainly creating the layout).
However, if you can use MS Word, it's even simpler with it using mail merge. In that case c# code creates the data and delivers it to Word and all of the layout is done using Word. This method is perhaps the easiest and as a bonus, the layout can be modified independently from the program.
Hope this helps,
Mika

Sounds like a plan to me especially if you don't see any downsides in current solution.

hy everyone!
i do have some problems with the process.start() methode.
i want to start the following command via the process.start()
"C:\Program Files\Acrobate\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /h /t "C:\sourcedir\somefile.pdf" "printer001" (sure it's not the correct syntax here, but it's readable this way)
when i try to start this code in command line then it works fine, but when i add it to the process.start() methode, it either does nothing or it throws an exception "there is/are invalid path/s"
I added full access to the sourcedir, so access problems shouldn't be the reason.
when i just try to start acrobate as parameter (so e.g.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\"C:\\Program Files\\Acrobate\\Reader 8.0\\AcroRd32.exe\"");
, it works and it start acrobate as a process. when i just add the file including the dirinfo e.g.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\"C:\\sourcedir\\somefile.pdf\"");
, it accepts it as well. but it does not work using the whole string above.
i also tried to use the startinfo object with all it's parameters, but it didn't work neither.
does anyone of you have an idea? I don't think it's a problem because of access rules, because why would the acrobate start if there were some?? 
thanks!
stephan.

Hi,
What if you try:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\\Program Files\\Acrobate\\Reader 8.0\\AcroRd32.exe", "\"C:\\sourcedir\\somefile.pdf\"");

is there a difference in mering it to one string or to seperate it with a comma??
and is there a chance to get it start with the parameters and the printer this way?

Just wondering is there a typo. Should there be folder Reader after Reader 8.0? Take a look at the paths you posted
C:\Program Files\Acrobate\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
C:\\Program Files\\Acrobate\\Reader 8.0\\AcroRd32.exe
|
|
|
|
|
yeap, this is a typo, sorry.
the correct path is C:\\Program Files\\Acrobate\\Reader 8.0\\AcroRd32.exe in every example.
|
|
|
|
|
No problem  That solved the problem?
|
|
|
|
|
nope, it's just a typo in here!
|
|
|
|

Ok, next steps could be:
- any info in stack of the exception
- is the exception type of Win32Exception
One possibility is usage rights as you mentioned. You could try to move the pdf to another place (for example temp where you would not have problems with rights)
Another thing is that is it possible that Acrobat is actually giving the error and it's only reported through .net framework.
I may be totally off the track at this time of the day (1 AM local time) and need to get some sleep, but I'll check on this again tomorrow

Acrobat really has the "e" on the end on your system?
This worked fine for me:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\"", "");

Aaaahhh, so that's why the 'methode' was not working. 
|

it's just a typo.
should have been adobe instead of acrobat  sorry.
if there are typos in the dirinfo then please ignore them. it's not the reason, because i copied the directory info from the file explorer to visual studio, so this info is correct. i guess when typing it here i mixed it up.
so the correct path should be
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\"", "\"C:\\sourcedir\\somefile.pdf\"");

So is it working now?

You could test one thing just in case:
- define both parameters as string and assign them
- put the string to clipboard
- paste the text to command prompt and execute it
If the pdf is opening, it's clear that the command is valid.
For example:
string filename = "\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\"";
string arguments = "\"C:\\sourcedir\\somefile.pdf\"";
Clipboard.Clear();
Clipboard.SetText(filename + " " + arguments);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filename, arguments);

First things first. Is it a Windows App or a Web App?

What do you actually mean by saying "all columns items selectable".
Do you want to see the entire row as selected instead of just the first column when clicking a row or do you want to select each cell separately on one row or something else?
|
|
|
|
|
OK. Thanks.
I want to select this[^]item in second column in my ListView.
But I couldn't.
Now Do you understand what I mean ?
