Hello everyone,

I have a listview inside UserControl.

I have written print code inside button click. But it is showing just 1st page only,

PrintDialog prtDlg = new PrintDialog();
if (prtDlg.ShowDialog() == true)
{
prtDlg.PrintVisual(listView1, "ListView");
}

But I have to print whole data by page wise. Please help me...

It would be helpful, if you elaborate your problem, as in enclosed image, printing happens. If you need proper formatting, you need to google, as it is hard to provide the complete code

Hello Amit Sir,

I have implement this kind of code with respect you advice, its is printing but shown like this,
private void Img_Export_MouseLeftButtonDown1(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
       {
           PrintDialog printDlg = new PrintDialog();
           FlowDocument fd = new FlowDocument();
           foreach (object item in listView1.Items)
           {
               fd.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run(item.ToString())));
           }
           fd.Name = "FlowDoc";
           IDocumentPaginatorSource idpSource = fd;
           printDlg.PrintDocument(idpSource.DocumentPaginator, "Hello WPF Printing.");
       }
Please help me...

FlowDocument requires PrintDialog class to print the document.

Please check the complete reference for printing the flow document.

PrintVisual prints the control as a bitmap, it will not print if it is having a scrollbar ( more data) unless it has been scrolled programatically and send the print command but it is far enough.

FlowDocument can be used to print collection of data or you can use rdlc report data to get proper formatting (you can get plenty of useful resources to work with rdlc).
