Print Document in Lotus Notes using C#

Apologies, as I am still new to this. What is the difference between back end classes, and front end classes.

I was also under the impression everything I was using was from the COM library.

It is not important for me to see the email before printing.  Which route do you recommend that I go that will be the easiest for me to figure out? So far the only real experience I have is in VBA.

One thought I have was create a small print code in lotusscript(because I hear its similar to VBA), then call that code from c#.

Also, I am using visual studio express c# 2010

Thanks again for all the contidued input!!

How can I tell if something is available in com or lotusscript.

If I go the webpage route, how do I go about starting it. Do I have to learn a new language?

Basically I have a program that emails something automatically. I goal is to have the email that was created and sent, printed automatically

Promtpted for username and pw I do not think would be acceptable unfortunatelly

I do not know what sso is?

So when I setup this sso, it will use the password from logging into the mail server to find it as a webpage? Is that the concept behind it?

wuesten_fuchs,
If I go the lotusscript way... is it possible to have c# call the small section of lotusscript code that prints.... basically keeping 99% of my program in c#.


sjef_bosman,
If I got the webpage... its as easy as what you said above to find it:
Approach:
- use your actual code
- get the UniversalID of the document you found
- use an HTTPRetriever to retrieve the page using the url:
      "http ://www.dnsname.xyz/path/dbname.nsf/0/universalID

I found some a link that shows how to print from html in c#... does this look like what I would use to accomplish this?  And if I go this way... I have to wait for page to load before it actually prints I'm assuming.

so I tried

using System.Net.WebClient class.
System.Console.WriteLine(new System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString(url)); 

Select all Open in new window

and I am getting the following error
The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

found this
This is a very common error message when you try to get a resource on internet through your application. Why you getting this error from your application not from explorer. The reason is very simple either you use LAN that requires proxy setting or you use proxy server.

Example :

DataSet myds = new DataSet();
//Set the system proxy with valid server address or IP and port.
System.Net.WebProxy pry = new System.Net.WebProxy("172.16.0.1",8080);
//The DefaultCredentials automically get username and password.
pry.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
GlobalProxySelection.Select = pry;
myds.ReadXml("http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/rss.xml", XmlReadMode.Auto);
myds.WriteXmlSchema(@"c:\\f.xml");
this.GridView1.DataSource = myds.Tables[2];
this.GridView1.DataBind(); 

Select all Open in new window

had to change globalproxyselection to //WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = pry;

and I am getting errors on Gridview
Error      1      'frmMain' does not contain a definition for 'GridView1' and no extension method 'GridView1' accepting a first argument of type 'frmMain' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)      H:\SAVED\frmMain.cs      1112      14      OTCAutomation


ideas?

I was able to retreive webpage through proxy but now need assistance printing it in a nice format.
