Is there any print example that can be referenced for SL 4?

[weiliang]

I try to incorporate the print feature into our website (with SL 4, and ESRI API 2.0). I used the following code, but it direct me to the print dialog box only. How can I make a print template (e.g., http://citizengis.chesterfield.gov/) to print the current map extent with some controls (e.g, scale bar) into a pdf. Is there any easy way to do so or I must create a WCF service?


PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
doc.PrintPage += (s, e) =>
{
   e.PageVisual = MyMap
   e.HasMorePages = false;
};
doc.Print("Map");

Many thanks,

Wei

Hi Lisa,

I did not get your email, my organization blocks .zip files and that is probably why.  Would you mind sending the code to jsauder@cox.net

Thanks,

Jeff

Good afternoon, Jeff!

I just noticed that myself - the bounceback email ended up in my spam folder, so I didn't see it until this morning.  I have resent the project using a large email attachment tool which doesn't actually email you the attachment, but merely a link to the attachment which resides on our servers.  Hopefully that will pass your company filters, but if it doesn't, please let me know (at lchesley@oxfordcounty.ca) and I will send you the code unzipped.

Thanks, and have a great day!

In the meantime, I'd be happy to email the project to anyone who'd like to see it.  Just post back with an email address that I can reach you at, and whether you'd like .zip or .rar.

Thanks!

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

Could you, please, send me your code sample at alex.ovsyankin@gmail.com? Thank you very much!

Rgds, Alex

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your community support.  Could you send your example to me as well?

Lisa,

Thanks for sharing your code (grabbed it from the other thread)!

Looks like the process essentially is to:
1) create a smaller (dimension wise) map
2) match the extent
3) copy the various layers
4) print

Is this correct?

Thanks again.

wliang1 i am very interested on how your "Search" tool works, would you mind sharing that code?

Lisa could you send me the print code as well?    sttuntman@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Good morning, all!

@Akilly, John, Brian - your projects are in the mail!  My apologies for the delay - yesterday was a holiday up here. 🙂

@Martin - yes, that is correct.  The reason I am creating a reasonably small map is that the user needs to be able to view the entire print sample on their screen - if they can't, the area they don't see will appear cut off on their printout.  This is a problem, as many of my target users only have 1024x768 resolution, but the 'resolution' for a standard page is 816 x 1056 (reversed if they print in landscape).  It's tricky to get exactly what they want without leaving a lot of whitespace on the page.  If you try to print on larger pages, I imagine that you'd run into much the same problem.

Thank you all for your kind words and acknowledgements - I've gleaned much useful information from these forums, it's nice to be able to give back. 🙂

Good afternoon, all!

I have finally compressed my project down enough to post it here!  Now included is a table of contents for the two dynamic layers on the map, based on the SOAP code from this thread:

http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=213&f=2455&t=289070

The code I built on is posted in the third, fourth, and fifth posts in the thread.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
