Programmatically printing from Report Viewer c#

this code will open the pdf print and close

Dim MyProcess As New Process
        MyProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False
        MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
        MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\file.pdf "
        MyProcess.Start()
        MyProcess.WaitForExit(10000)
        MyProcess.CloseMainWindow()
        MyProcess.Close()

Select allOpen in new window

Do you have that in C#? I think I will have to do it that way. Export them all to PDF then print them. Then delete them.

Process MyProcess = new Process();
MyProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "print";
MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\file.pdf ";
MyProcess.Start();
MyProcess.WaitForExit(10000);
MyProcess.CloseMainWindow();
MyProcess.Close();

Select allOpen in new window

use this code in the report viewer form, it will solve your issue

Private Sub frm_ReportViewer_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
        Dim warnings As Warning() = Nothing
        Dim streamids As String() = Nothing
        Dim mimeType As String = Nothing
        Dim encoding As String = Nothing
        Dim extension As String = Nothing
        Dim bytes As Byte()
        Dim FileName As String

       



        bytes = ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Render("Pdf", _
          Nothing, mimeType, _
            encoding, extension, streamids, warnings)
        FileName = "PrintOut" & Format(Now, "yyyyMMddhhmmss") & ".pdf"
        Dim fs As New FileStream("C:\file.pdf", FileMode.Create)
        fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
        fs.Close()

        Dim MyProcess As New Process
        MyProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False
        MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
        MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\file.pdf"
        MyProcess.Start()
        MyProcess.WaitForExit(10000)
        MyProcess.CloseMainWindow()
        MyProcess.Close()


	 Try

            Dim strFileSize As String = ""
            Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("c:\")
            Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("file*.pdf")
            Dim fi As IO.FileInfo


            For Each fi In aryFi
                fi.Delete()
            Next
        Catch
        End Try

        Me.Close()
    End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

as you can see filename in the code is to generate a file everytime you can use it instead of file.pdf
so it wil create printout....pdf and redelete it

Ok I have converted this to C# but how to i suppress the PDF window?

Cheers

Try

            Dim strFileSize As String = ""
            Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("c:\")
            Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("file*.pdf")
            Dim fi As IO.FileInfo


            For Each fi In aryFi
                fi.Delete()
            Next
        Catch
        End Try
 is deleting the file at the end of the sub

That works perfectly. But it keeps spamming the user with a lot of PDF windows until we wait for them to close. Is there a way of getting it to run the chosen PDF reading in the background? out of sight?

Awesome results thank you for all your help!
