Add when exporting the report to the pdf and display it in the browser we need to automatically print in the printer connected to the client's PC the report n number of times(if the user has entered 5 in the textbox then we need to print it 5 times).

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response, but I think this is from an windows form application. I need to do that from a web application.

Damn, it's server-side only i think :S
Not sure if there is a way to by-pass the print dialog on client-side printing (using window.print;).
I will look into it...

Hi thanks again,
i think this won't work as this prints by reading using a stringreader. what is want is I have a webform which has a input box and a print button. when the print button is pressed a crystal reports report will be genereated and exported into a PDF then the generated PDF needs to be printed in the printer in the client's PC the number of times specified by the user.
