direct-printing or why no Print button in Silverlight demo?

Hello,

AFAIK, direct-printing is not supported until Silverlight 3. But you guys are selling the reporting tool for Silvelright so I come here to learn how you guys support direct-printing in your product.

What I mean by direct printing is that we can print the document directly on Button Click or etc.

I found that this sample (http://www.perpetuumsoft.com/Demo/Rss/RssWebDemo.aspx?lang=en&pid=21) has the print button but Silverlight sample (http://www.perpetuumsoft.com/Demo/slviewer/default.aspx) doesn't have any print button.

Is it because you can't print in Silvelright? or you forget to add it?

Hello,

You are quite right! Silverlight doesn't support printing itself that's why Silverlight sample (http://www.perpetuumsoft.com/Demo/slviewer/default.aspx) doesn't have any print button. As for the sample (http://www.perpetuumsoft.com/Demo/Rss/RssWebDemo.aspx?lang=en&pid=21), which has printing button - it's Report Sharp-Shooter, which isn't based on Silverlight. In our next release we plan to implement printing in Silverlight - but this will be a "work around" method through exporting.

Hello we have purchased the silverlight client version with the print button. I want to use this "work around" for a external printbutton.
What code expression should I use to print the loaded report like de reportviewer does when a user hits the printbutton?

Hello,

If we are speaking about Silverlight 3, then printing works the following way: report exports into HTML and then java-script opens it in a new window and sends it to the printer.

Printing in Silverlight 4 can be realized using .NET
