Below code works well for printing PDF when we have physical file.
But when we have bytes[] then it will not work. Is there a way we can print bytes[] to printer without showing the print dialog box.
private static void PrintPDF(string FileToPrint)
{
PrinterSettings setting = new PrinterSettings();
var printerName = setting.PrinterName;
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(FileToPrint);
info.Verb = "Print";
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process.Start(info);
}
There is a Microsoft Knowledge base article on this particular problem. Here in the article they send byte[] to the printer using Winspool API of Windows OS. but i don't feel it is optimized for web.

What all this has with the Web?
The code you show us here is part of the server side, means it print on the printer connected to the server? It may looks like working correctly while in debug environment, but will surprise you after publishing? Or do you mean to post out all the printed documents later on the week?

I meant the KB article that code i dont feel is optimized

It seem that you didn't read or understood what I've wrote...
That code - and your code too - can not be, and need not be optimized to the web as it runs on the server!

Since it runs on server my only concern is when i run it to print too many pdf t slows down when multiple requests are hit.
If there a better way of printing bytes[] to printer
|
|
|
|
|
It is acceptable that printing will slow down with much request (print queue is full), but I have a strong feeling that you do ot know what are you doing here.
Let see an example. Code Project has 'Terms of Service' page stuffed with legal do and don't do. Let imagine that you had a print button on this page. What would happened if on every click on that button a copy of that 'Term of Service' was printed in Toronto, Canada? What Code Project staff should do with all that prints? And what the CPian who asked to print will do without that important paper?

even though it runs on server but the printer it picks is local to system and not related to server.
what i was asking was is there a better way of doing this instead of using interop's

Quote: the printer it picks is local to system
You are kidding, right?
How on earth the server knows about locally installed printers!!! Imagine that you are browsing a site that hosted on a server in the UK, should that server know anything about your hardware setup and installed drivers in you office in India?! Think about it!

Of course it isn't; it is for use in desktop applications.
|
|

|

so is there a way of doing it efficiently on web [printing bytes directly to printer]
|
|
|
|
|
Not directly. What you would have to do is implement an addon for the web browser and control the printing from that (oh, and you'd have to take into account the OS that the website was browsing as well). This isn't a trivial task, and a lot of organisations would bar this control from being installed.

You can't do it using that code. It's that simple.
That code is written to launch the application that knows how to edit the file and then tells that application to print the file that is passed to it.
This technique will NOT work with an array of bytes because you have no way of getting those bytes to the application that will actually handle the printing operation.
You cannot do what you want and most certainly can't do it from ASP.NET code running on the server.

I hope that's not your real sa password that you've just published on a public forum! 
Also, applications should NEVER connect using the sa user. You should always create and use a specific user which only has the permissions required by your application.
Your code in Button1_Click is susceptible to SQL Injection[^]. You should be using parameterized queries instead.
Most of the code you've posted doesn't appear to have anything to do with the problem your having. It's also not particularly easy to read, because you haven't formatted it - either use the "code" button on the toolbar, or wrap the code in <pre>...</pre> tags.
And finally, unless you've modified your AppPool to run as a user with local administrator privileges - which would be a very bad idea! - it won't have permission to restart services.

No. Find some consultants whom you will have to pay for such premium services.

Hi.
I have an application consists of 2 textboxes, 2 buttons, a modalpopup extender.
Button1 and Textbox1 is in a modalpopupextender that is shown when a button is click (not shown here)
I added an OnKeyPress event on my textbox (Textbox1) on Page Load that will execute a javascript on client side code which calls a button (Button1) click event.]
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
this.TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "doClick('" + Button1.ClientID + "',event)");
}
}
This is the Javascript codes, this will call and execute the click event of Button1
function doClick(buttonName, e) {
var key;
if (window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode;
else
key = e.which;
if (key == 13) {
var btn = document.getElementById(buttonName);
if (btn != null) {
btn.click();
event.keyCode = 0
}
}
};
This is the Button1 Click event
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Textbox1.Text.ToString() == "ITDevt")
{
Button2.Visible = true;
Textbox2.Visible = false;
Button2.Visible=true;
Button1.Visible=false;
popup.Show();
}
else
{
popup.Hide();
Textbox1.Text = "";
}
}
Assume that the modalpopupextender is shown, so I entered a text in Textbox1 and presses Enter key on keyboard (so the OnKeyPress event is rendered).
When I trace the Button1_Click event, the code block runs. But the popup (modalpopupextender) hides.
Can you help me show again the modalpopupextender and hide Button1 and Textbox1 then show Button2 and Textbox2?

Ask this in the ASP.NET forum. What you're asking has nothing to do with C#.
|
|
|
|

I noticed in one of my professor's MVC Java programming projects he put a Controller class inside a model package.
Is it true that in MVC often people use just MV and don't bother with the C because they don't think it's worth creating another layer just for a couple of extra classes?
It seemed illogical to me to put a controller inside a model package.
