Code Examples
Print Document
Simply pass the file path to the Print
method to print the document.
using IronPrint;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Specify the file path to be printed
string filePath = "document.pdf";
// Invoke the Print method to print the document
IronPrint.Print(filePath);
}
}
using IronPrint;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Specify the file path to be printed
string filePath = "document.pdf";
// Invoke the Print method to print the document
IronPrint.Print(filePath);
}
}
Imports IronPrint
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main()
' Specify the file path to be printed
Dim filePath As String = "document.pdf"
' Invoke the Print method to print the document
IronPrint.Print(filePath)
End Sub
End Class
Print With Dialog
Use the ShowPrintDialog
method to print the document, which also shows the print dialog before printing.
using IronPrint;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Specify the file path to be printed
string filePath = "document.pdf";
// Invoke the ShowPrintDialog method to prompt the dialog before printing
IronPrint.ShowPrintDialog(filePath);
}
}
using IronPrint;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Specify the file path to be printed
string filePath = "document.pdf";
// Invoke the ShowPrintDialog method to prompt the dialog before printing
IronPrint.ShowPrintDialog(filePath);
}
}
Imports IronPrint
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main()
' Specify the file path to be printed
Dim filePath As String = "document.pdf"
' Invoke the ShowPrintDialog method to prompt the dialog before printing
IronPrint.ShowPrintDialog(filePath)
End Sub
End Class
Customize Print Settings
To configure the print settings from the code, instantiate the PrintSettings
class. Configure the PrintSettings
object and pass it to one of the print methods.
using IronPrint;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Create a PrintSettings object to configure printer settings
PrintSettings settings = new PrintSettings
{
Copies = 2,
Duplex = DuplexMode.Vertical,
PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape
};
// Specify the file path to be printed
string filePath = "document.pdf";
// Invoke the Print method with custom print settings
IronPrint.Print(filePath, settings);
}
}
using IronPrint;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Create a PrintSettings object to configure printer settings
PrintSettings settings = new PrintSettings
{
Copies = 2,
Duplex = DuplexMode.Vertical,
PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape
};
// Specify the file path to be printed
string filePath = "document.pdf";
// Invoke the Print method with custom print settings
IronPrint.Print(filePath, settings);
}
}
Imports IronPrint
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main()
' Create a PrintSettings object to configure printer settings
Dim settings As New PrintSettings With {
.Copies = 2,
.Duplex = DuplexMode.Vertical,
.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape
}
' Specify the file path to be printed
Dim filePath As String = "document.pdf"
' Invoke the Print method with custom print settings
IronPrint.Print(filePath, settings)
End Sub
End Class
