Comment on Printing a word document from C# – how the **** do you change the paper type??????? by JimBob

JimBob — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:00:38 +0000

A long time after it was asked but here is how I have just done it.

printerURL is the \\printerserver\printer address

paperTrayFirst and paperTrayNext are
“Tray 1″ “Tray 2″ etc
docSource is the full path/name of the document.

private void DoPrint(string printerURL, string paperTrayFirst, string paperTrayNext, string docSource)
{

PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printerURL;
pd.DocumentName = docSource;
PaperSource trayToUseFirst = null;
PaperSource trayToUseNext = null;
if(paperTrayFirst == “-”) paperTrayFirst = “Tray 1″;
if(paperTrayNext == “-”) paperTrayNext = “Tray 1″;

foreach (PaperSource source in pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSources)
{
if (source.SourceName.Trim().Equals(paperTrayFirst))
{
trayToUseFirst = source;
}
if (source.SourceName.Trim().Equals(paperTrayNext))
{
trayToUseNext = source;
}

}

//if (pCap.StaplingCapability.Contains(Stapling.StapleDualLeft))
//{
// printTicket.Stapling = Stapling.StapleDualLeft;
//}

int rawKindFirst = Convert.ToInt32(trayToUseFirst.GetType().GetField(“kind”, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(trayToUseFirst));
m_wApp.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.FirstPageTray = (WdPaperTray)rawKindFirst;

int rawKindNext = Convert.ToInt32(trayToUseNext.GetType().GetField(“kind”, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(trayToUseNext));
m_wApp.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.OtherPagesTray = (WdPaperTray)rawKindNext;

object printBackground = false;
m_wApp.PrintOut(ref printBackground, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

}

:-)

I hit the same thing today. However, while looking at the various sites that came up as a result of search on Google, I realized that the format specifiers were starting with a percent and then followed by a character rather than the other way around! I gave it a try and that worked! :-)

Thanks, but for making me feel that hadn’t I figured it out, your page was there to help me out! :-)

Have a great day ahead!

Comment on Ternary operators don’t work with nullable value types? by Robin

I’m not gonna take credit for this, but take a look at this!!!::

http://devlicio.us/blogs/alan_northam/archive/2008/03/06/ado-net-nullable-types-casting-dbnull-and-you.aspx

DateTime? myDt = row["Column"] as DateTime?;

The cast above is actually failing but casting with “as” doesn’t throw an exception and returns a null value which is just what we want.

Spread the word!

Comment on Ternary operators don’t work with nullable value types? by cskardon

Ahh, I see, I guess it’s being used to the implicit nature of most of C#…

I still wouldn’t expect to have to cast my results to the nullable types. It seems to go against how the rest work.

Alas, nice work though!
