Multiple Copies Print

Question

Hi

I have a parameter with option Original , Duplicate , Triplicate. I want if user selects Original & Duplicate then 2 copies should get printed.

On one Original should be printed & on Second one Duplicate should be printed.

If only Original is selected then a copy with heading Original should be printed.

Thanks

In your Crystal Report ensure that you have placeholders for the text that should be printed (e.g. Original and Duplicate). ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument(); report.Load(path_to_your_report.rpt); // Load your Crystal Report file // Create a parameter to allow the user to select Original Duplicate or Triplicate ParameterFieldDefinition parameterField = report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[PrintOption]; report.SetParameterValue(PrintOption Original); // Set the default value to Original // Get the selected parameter value string printOption = GetUserSelectedOption(); // Implement a method to get the user's selection if (printOption == Original) { report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields[PrintText].Text = Original; } else if (printOption == Duplicate) { report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields[PrintText].Text = Duplicate; } else if (printOption == Triplicate) { report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields[PrintText].Text = Triplicate; } int numberOfCopies = (printOption == Triplicate) ? 3 : 2; report.PrintToPrinter(numberOfCopies false 0 0); // Print the report report.Close(); report.Dispose();
