Once the base of the tutorial application is completed, you can extend it with Printing support using the following steps:

1. First, you need to add references to the System.Windows.Controls Assembly.
   1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on References, and choose Add Reference.
   2. Choose the .NET tab, select System.Windows.Controls assembly, and click OK.

   You should now have this assembly listed under References in the Solution Explorer.
   A

2. Add a StackPanel element with horizontal orientation into the grid, and move buttonOpen and loadText elements inside it. Now your XAML should look like this:
   

   XAML	Copy Code
   <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="0"> <Button Content="Open" Width="100" Margin="8,4,8,4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="buttonOpen"/> <TextBox Height="25" Margin="116,4,8,4" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Text="Please wait while license is retrieved..." x:Name="loadText"/> </StackPanel>

3. Before the 'TextBox' element, add the following lines:
   

   XAML	Copy Code
   <Button Content="Print" Width="100" Margin="8,4,8,4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="buttonPrint" Click="buttonPrint_Click" />

4. Review your XAML code. It should look like the following:
   

   XAML

   Copy Code

   <UserControl x:Class="SilverlightTutorial.Page" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:IGWC="clr-namespace:ImageGear.Windows.Controls;assembly=ImageGear20.Windows.Controls" Width="800" Height="600" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d"> <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="*"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="0"> <Button Content="Open" Width="100" Margin="8,4,8,4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="buttonOpen"/> <TextBox Height="25" Margin="116,4,8,4" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Text="Please wait while license is retrieved..." x:Name="loadText"/> <Button Content="Print" Width="100" Margin="8,4,8,4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="buttonPrint" Click="buttonPrint_Click" /> </StackPanel> <IGWC:PageView Grid.Row="1" x:Name="pageView"/> </Grid> </UserControl>

   In Design View, you should see this:
   
   

5. Open MainPage.xaml.cs and add the following using statements at the top:
   

   C#	Copy Code
   using System.Windows.Printing; using ImageGear.Printing;

6. Add the following handler for the "Print" button:
   

   C#

   Copy Code

   private void buttonPrint_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { ImGearPage currentPage = pageView.Display.Page; // Create a document for the current page ImGearDocument document = currentPage.Document; if (document == null) { document = new ImGearDocument(); document.Pages.Add(currentPage); } // Create a PrintJob object and set the reference to the Document PrintJob printJob = new PrintJob(); printJob.Document = document; // Create a PrintDocument instance PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); // Add BeginPrint event handler pd.BeginPrint += (s, args) => { printJob.BeginPrint(); }; // Add PrintPage event handler pd.PrintPage += (s, args) => { args.PageVisual = printJob.RenderPage(args.PrintableArea, args.PageMargins); args.HasMorePages = printJob.HasMorePages(); }; // Add EndPrint event handler pd.EndPrint += (s, args) => { printJob.EndPrint(); }; // Start the printing pd.Print("Test document");

7. The sample is now complete. Right-click SilverlighttutorialTestPage.html in the Solution Explorer and set it as the start up project, then press F5 to launch the sample.
