I have a process that does a lot of data manipulation and then prints a simple report directly to a printer. The overall priority is speed. Tens of thousands of records need to be scanned & processed individually so moving thru them quickly as possible is the goal.
Pseudo code
01)Scan Barcode
02)Fill DataSet from Sql Server
03)Manipulate data in dataset
04)Update data back to Sql Server
05)Print crystal report directly to printer; the dataset is the reports source
06)Clear dataset and start next record back at step one
The process if pretty complicated with a ton data manipulation and data coming from multiple sources but that part works super and in short all I am doing is scanning barcode, filling a dataset, passing it to a report and starting over. Steps 1 to 4 are averaging one tenth of a second (0.01) to complete; great. Passing it to the report to print takes several seconds which is the problem. I thought I would resolve this by passing the dataset to the report print sub - allowing the print sub to run on a background thread - and moving on to processing the next record.
Dim m_ds As MyTypedDataSet
Sub ScanBarCode
Fill DataSet
Validate & Manipulate Data
Call PrintReport
Clear Dataset
End Sub
I have been attempting to add the PrintReport sub to process on a background thread. The problem though is the main thread blows right by to the next step and clears the dataset; causing an error in the report sub. I've tried unsuccessfully just about everything I can think of; including using DataSet.Copy to local datasets (which I really don't want to keep recreating the same object over & over tens of thousands of times), as soon as the main dataset clears, all clear.
I try to print the Crystal Report, without Report Preview and following codes I used.
Dim MISObjRpt As New CrystalReport1
MISObjRpt.SetDataSource(Ds1.Tables(0))
If PrintDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
PrintDialog1.AllowSomePages = True
MISObjRpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
MISObjRpt.PrintToPrinter(PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies, False, PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.FromPage,
PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.ToPage)
End If
But the problem is I can't select the PAGES RANGE. So how to solve this problem?

View 1 RepliesI have a program needs to print directly to a Zebra TLP 2844-Z barcode printer.
I tried the codes in [url]... but an error occurred when i run it, as follows:
A call to PInvoke function 'test!test.RawPrinterHelper::OpenPrinter' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
May I ask if any one has any other idea of printing directly to printer in VB2005?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to implement a custom printing solution for a client. What he wants is to have one button print a certain set of info to a specific printer and specific printer tray, connected to the client machine. Another button will print a similar set of info, to the same printer, but a different tray.
One tray is preloaded with regular 8.5"x11" paper, and the other is loaded with legal paper, 8.5"x14". I've found some instructions on how to do this: [URL]. So, I've implemented the code, and am able to enumerate the printers attached to the client machine, and their trays.
I've setup some web.config settings for the client to enter the names of his printer and specific trays (in this case, tray 1 and tray 3). This code I've written runs and works correctly, printing the document without error. The problem I am having is that even though I have selected the tray for legal paper, all the info instead prints on regular paper, the printer seems to be ignoring my instruction to print onto legal paper.
Here is the code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
....
Private printFont As Font
Private ds As dsSummons
Private formToPrint As FormType
[Code] .....
I first tried "pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = PSource" but that didn't seem to work. I also tried setting "pd.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = PSource" but that doesn't seem to work either..

View 14 RepliesI'm trying to print a record in vb.net(vb2008 express edition) and what I'm familiar with printing was using data report way back when i was in vb6.0 but when i moved to vb.net lately i heard about using crystal report but im not familiar with it so i don't really know how to start with.I know it sounds like im depending too much but what im just trying to ask is a little favor just to give me a brief heads up to start with it in a first place and i'll do the rest. For example,I would like to print a line of text which is "I'm a sweet lover". Please give me a complete procedures on how to start with it in setting these all up using crystal report which detects the default printer as well as its simple codes which corresponds to it.
