I am using the the Neodynamic SDK to print documents to the client side.
We will have 5 documents to print. I see how to print either 1 document or print all documents, but is there a way to print 1 document per button. I.e. button1 prints out doc1, button2 prints doc2, etc.
Here is what I've got so far
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
fileone()
filetwo()
End Sub
Public Sub fileone()
Dim fileToPrint As New PrintFile(Context.Server.MapPath("~/forms/xmlheader.txt"), "xmlheader.txt")
If (WebClientPrint.ProcessPrintJob(Request)) Then
'Create a ClientPrintJob
Dim cpj As New ClientPrintJob()
'set client printer, for multiple files use DefaultPrinter...
cpj.ClientPrinter = New DefaultPrinter()
'set files-printers group by using special formatting!!!
'Invoice.doc PRINT TO Printer1
cpj.PrintFile = fileToPrint
'send it...
cpj.SendToClient(Response)
End If
End Sub
Public Sub filetwo()
Dim fileToPrint As New PrintFile(Context.Server.MapPath("~/forms/ How To Recover Office Doc.pdf"), " How To Recover Office Doc.pdf")
If (WebClientPrint.ProcessPrintJob(Request)) Then
'Create a ClientPrintJob
Dim cpj As New ClientPrintJob()
'set client printer, for multiple files use DefaultPrinter...
cpj.ClientPrinter = New DefaultPrinter()
'set files-printers group by using special formatting!!!
'Invoice.doc PRINT TO Printer1
cpj.PrintFile = fileToPrint
'send it...
cpj.SendToClient(Response)
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
fileone()
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType(), "printForm1", "printForm1();", True)
End Sub
Protected Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
filetwo()
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType(), "printForm2", "printForm2();", True)
End Sub
</script>

I thought of changing filetwo() variable to clientprintjob cpj2...
What you need is to make a function called PrintDoc() that receives the path of the file to print as a parameter. The signature should look like this:
You only need this function once and no need for sub fileone() and sub filetwo() ... up to filefive(). You just need this one sub called PrintDoc(path as String)
Then you need 5 buttons, each with their own _Click() event and in that event handler you call the PrintDoc procedure by passing a different param everytime.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
