I have the following requirement for a business application:

(All of this could be on local or server)

  • Allow user to select folder location
  • Show contents of folder
  • Print selected items from folder (*.pdf) - if possible w/o print dialog
  • Display which files have been printed
  • Potentially move printed files to new location (sub-folder of printed)

The most importnat requirement is determining if the item has been printed or not. I am not sure if the item is gaurunteed to have a unique name. I was thinking that the file name and file path should be unique; however, there seems to be a secuirty limitation.

Are there any Telerik tools that can help me achieve at least some of the desired functionality?

Kind regards,

Ricky

Hi Ricky,

You may use the RadDocument for printing to PDF. This is possible with the RadRichTextBox. You could review the online demo for an example on how you could print to a PDF. 

For more complex scenarios I will recommend you to use our reporting tools which are built to suit various printing scenarios. If you are interested please have a look here for more information.

Didie,

Thanks for your quick reply. I think there may be some confusion on the requirements.

To be clear, I have the pdf files already stored on a server. I need a User Interface to select those pdfs to be dealt with. I require the full file path of those items including the file name to be provided to the application from the client (possibly from an open file dialog).

I require the full path of the item that is to be printed because the user wants to know if whether the item has been printed before or not.

The problem I've enountered is that due to security, only the file name is provided to the app and not the full path of the item.

Is this possible? And is there any Telerik tools that could aid in this?

Thanks again,

Ricky

I think the simplest way I can put it is that I am looking for an "Open Folder Dialog" for Silverlight with all the privileges necessary to know selected items paths.
