How to print in background

[lyai]

Hello everyone
I'm using mvc product, I would like to directly call report printing function without the need to pass the first preview, please tell me whether this method is feasible, and if possible how to encode
Thank you

Hello.

You could use one of the next examples of printing to PDF or HTML. In both cases the report will be rendered and sent to print automatically.

Code: Select all

// Print to PDF
public ActionResult Print()
{
StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.Load("D:\\ReportXmlAir.mrt");
report.Render(false);

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

StiPdfExportSettings settings = new StiPdfExportSettings();
settings.AutoPrintMode = StiPdfAutoPrintMode.Dialog;

StiPdfExportService service = new StiPdfExportService();
service.ExportPdf(report, stream, settings);

this.Response.Buffer = true;
this.Response.ClearContent();
this.Response.ClearHeaders();
this.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
//this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"report.pdf\"");
this.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", stream.Length.ToString());
this.Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
this.Response.End();

return View();
}


// Print to HTML
public ActionResult About()
{
StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.Load("D:\\ReportXmlAir.mrt");
report.Render(false);

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

StiHtmlExportSettings settings = new StiHtmlExportSettings();
StiHtmlExportService service = new StiHtmlExportService();
service.ExportHtml(report, stream, settings);

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
stream.Position = 0;
string html = reader.ReadToEnd();
html = html.Replace("", "");

this.Response.Buffer = true;
this.Response.ClearContent();
this.Response.ClearHeaders();
this.Response.ContentType = "text/html";
//this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"report.html\"");
this.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", html.Length.ToString());
this.Response.Write(html);
this.Response.End();

return View();
}

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

Is it possible that after saving to PDF, the document will have the same behavior as the "Open After Export" but on the same browser instead of a new window?

Regards and Thanks,

Hello.

We have added OpenExportedReportTarget option. It could have "_blank" or "_self" value.
This feature will be available in our next prerelease build.

Thank you.
