I have a form that has Crystal Report Viewer on it. I also have a custom print button on it. Here is my code for the print button:

C#

protected void ButtonPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CrystalReport.PrintOptions.PrinterName = GetDefaultPrinter();
            CrystalReport.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 1, 1);
        }

         string GetDefaultPrinter()
         {
          PrinterSettings settings = new PrinterSettings();
          foreach (string printer in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
            {
              settings.PrinterName = printer;
              if (settings.IsDefaultPrinter)
                  return printer;
                }
                return string.Empty;
            }
        private string GetDefaultprinterName()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
        }
    }

When the print button is clicked I get this error:

Solution 1

error says "Invalid report file path."...
place break point at line no 63 in your file C:\Users\khopkins\Documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\SACSCOCLogin1.1\SACSCOCLogin1.1\ReportFormA.aspx.cs
attach debugger and check report file path, check the file is exist on that path or not...
set proper report path then try to print again
Happy Coding!
:)

Aarti Meswania, Thanks for the infor but the path is correct and I just enabled the print button on CR Viewer. Your hard work for the information was helpful with the other reports.

try this way.. :)

C#

PrintDialog pDialog = new PrintDialog();

   Nullable<boolean> print = pDialog.ShowDialog();
   if (print == true)
   {


       string value1 = "abc";
       string value2= "foo";
       ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
       rd.Load("ReportFile.rpt");
       rd.SetParameter("Parameter1", value1);
       rd.SetParameter("Parameter2", value2);

       rd.PrintOptions.PrinterName = pDialog.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;

       rd.PrintToPrinter(1, false,0,0);


   }</boolean>
