Printing Directly To Printer

[Jonah]

I am trying to print directly to a printer using the code listed here. However I need to pass parameters to my report. Is there a way to do that when trying to print directly?

Hi Jonah,

You can send values to report parameters through the wrapping report source object. the ReportSource.Parameters collection is mapped by key to the report's ReportParameters collection. The key is the parameter's name which is case sensitive.

For more details, please check Report Sources.

Thank you for the response. I was able to get this figured out, and here is a little bit of code if anyone else stumbles on either the report name or the parameters.

Dim reportProcessor As New Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor()
'set any deviceInfo settings if necessary
Dim typeReportSource As New Telerik.Reporting.TypeReportSource()
typeReportSource.TypeName = GetType(WPFControls.RptPrintTicket).AssemblyQualifiedName
typeReportSource.Parameters.Add("InvoiceNumber", "")
typeReportSource.Parameters.Add("ProductLocationID", "")
typeReportSource.Parameters.Add("ProductID", "")
typeReportSource.Parameters.Add("PartOrderID", dtInsPackage.Rows(0).Item(0).ToString())
'' Obtain the settings of the default printer
Dim printerSettings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
printerSettings.PrinterName = fcGlobals.GetDefaultPrinter()
reportProcessor.PrintReport(typeReportSource, printerSettings)
