Using PrintDocument to print multiple pages

.net, c#, printing

Solution

I found your code to do the opposite: if it prints more than one page, it continues to print into infinity.

Try moving your index position variable outside of the `PrintPage` event, because setting it back to zero just sets it to the beginning again:

int artikelPosition = 0;

Reset it when you start the printing:

public void PrintA4Factuur()
{
  artikelPosition = 0

  p = new PrintDocument();
  p.PrintPage += printPage;
  printPreviewDialog.Document = p;
  printPreviewDialog.ShowDialog();
}

Then comment it out in your PrintPage routine:

void printPage(object sender1, PrintPageEventArgs e1)
{
  Graphics g = e1.Graphics;
  int yPos = 320;
  float pageHeight = e1.MarginBounds.Height;

  // int artikelPosition = 0;

  // continue with code
}

Problem

I'm trying to print invoices. Invoices should be able to be printed on multiple pages, but that's where the problem kicks in. I can perfectly print an invoice on a single page, but as soon as the invoice doesn't fit on a single page, the printjob just quits on the first page. Here's the code I'm using. 'artikelen' is a list of articles (List). I have read several similar examples, and I'm fairly sure I'm missing something here. (Edited: some unneccesary code deleted) ``` public void PrintA4Factuur() { p = new PrintDocument(); p.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printPage); printPreviewDialog.Document = p; printPreviewDialog.ShowDialog(); } void printPage(object sender1, PrintPageEventArgs e1) { Graphics g = e1.Graphics; int yPos = 320; float pageHeight = e1.MarginBounds.Height; int artikelPosition = 0; while (yPos + 100 < pageHeight && artikelPosition < this.artikelen.Count) { // Do stuff with articles (printing details in different rectangles artikelPosition += 1; yPos += 20; } if (artikelPosition < this.artikelen.Count) { e1.HasMorePages = true; return; } else { e1.HasMorePages = false; } } ```
