[RESOLVED] Is it possible to add a custom print button to report viewer?

Hi,

Is it possible to make my own print button to print a report from report viewer? I need this because the print function requires admin rights and I cant install the reportviewer .dll on every machine? Thanks!

Hi,

In the final product you'll be able to print using the code below. Notice that ReportViewer object is not required. 

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms;

public class Demo : IDisposable
{
    private int m_currentPageIndex;
    private IList m_streams;
    private DataTable LoadSalesData()
    {
        DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
        dataSet.ReadXml("data.xml");
        return dataSet.Tables[0];
    }
    private Stream CreateStream(string name, string fileNameExtension, Encoding encoding,
                              string mimeType, bool willSeek)
    {
        Stream stream = new FileStream(name + "." + fileNameExtension, FileMode.Create);
        m_streams.Add(stream);
        return stream;
    }
    private void Export(LocalReport report)
    {
        string deviceInfo =
          "" +
          "  EMF" +
          "  8.5in" +
          "  11in" +
          "  0.25in" +
          "  0.25in" +
          "  0.25in" +
          "  0.25in" +
          "";
        Warning[] warnings;
        m_streams = new List();
        report.Render("Image", deviceInfo, CreateStream, out warnings);
        foreach (Stream stream in m_streams)
            stream.Position = 0;
    }
    private void PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev)
    {
        Metafile pageImage = new Metafile(m_streams[m_currentPageIndex]);
        ev.Graphics.DrawImage(pageImage, 0, 0);
        m_currentPageIndex++;
        ev.HasMorePages = (m_currentPageIndex < m_streams.Count);
    }
    private void Print()
    {
        const string printerName = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer";
        if (m_streams == null || m_streams.Count == 0)
            return;
        PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();
        printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printerName;
        if (!printDoc.PrinterSettings.IsValid)
        {
            string msg = String.Format("Can't find printer \"{0}\".", printerName);
            Console.WriteLine(msg);
            return;
        }
        printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintPage);
        printDoc.Print();
    }
    private void Run()
    {
        LocalReport report = new LocalReport();
        report.ReportPath = "Report.rdlc";
        report.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("Sales", LoadSalesData()));
        Export(report);
        m_currentPageIndex = 0;
        Print();
    }
    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (m_streams != null)
        {
            foreach (Stream stream in m_streams)
                stream.Close();
        }
    }
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (Demo demo = new Demo())
        {
            demo.Run();
        }

    }
}
