Hello everyone,

I have list images from database. And I want to print the images. But I can not do, showing printer window by using below c# code. How can open printer window something like that...

After binding my DataGrid with images that show like that...

private void Img_PrintlistDoc_MouseLeftButtonDown1(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += PrintPage;
pd.Print();
}
private void PrintPage(object o, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
DMSBusinessLayer service = new DMSBusinessLayer();
List objTble_Documents = new List();
int UserId = 0;
string ImgName = string.Empty;
foreach (DocumentsUser item in listView1.SelectedItems)
{
UserId = Convert.ToInt32(item.UserId);
ImgName = item.Parent_File_Name;
objTble_Documents = service.PrintUserDocuments(ImgName, UserId).AsEnumerable().Select(m => new DocumentsUser()
{
Child_File_Name = m.Field<string>("Child_File_Name"),
FilePath = m.Field<string>("FilePath"),
Parent_File_Name = m.Field<string>("Parent_File_Name")
}).ToList();
var items = objTble_Documents.SelectMany((x) => new[]
new
{Child_File_Name = x.Child_File_Name,FilePath = x.FilePath,Parent_File_Name = x.Parent_File_Name}});
foreach (var i in items)
{
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Convert.ToString(i.FilePath) + Convert.ToString(i.Parent_File_Name) + "_" + Convert.ToString(i.Child_File_Name));
System.Drawing.Point loc = new System.Drawing.Point(100, 100);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, loc);
}
}
}

Kindly advice me... Please...

I don't think that multiple parameters can be passed while the verb is "Print", it will ask you to show print dialog for each file.

Although if you want to print without showing this particular print dialog, I can assist you.
However, you can check the other links also that might help

Hello Amit,

Thank you for reply me... That code is working but, I have list of images from database.
System.IO.FileInfo[] Files = new System.IO.FileInfo[] { };
               foreach (var i in items)
               {

/*below code is contain imagepath+imagename*/
/*Convert.ToString(i.FilePath) + Convert.ToString(i.Parent_File_Name) + "_" + Convert.ToString(i.Child_File_Name)*/

                   System.IO.DirectoryInfo d = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("?");
                   Files = d.GetFiles("?");
               }
               foreach (System.IO.FileInfo file in Files)
               {
                   var p = new Process();
                   p.StartInfo.FileName = file.FullName;
                   p.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";
                   p.Start();
               }

Many ways to print:

1. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15985909/show-print-dialog-before-printing

2. In WPF, printVisual method plays a vital role in printing a visual image.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/9f4ff8/printing-in-the-wpf/
3. Demo Snippet
using System.Diagnostics;

var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\test.jpg";
p.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";
p.Start();
