Send Multiple Documents To Printer

Question

I have one Requirement in .net wpf. There are some images in format of .gif or .jpg in a local folder. I have prepared one List of string , to store file names i want to send all images in a list to a printer in button click.

I have searched Google but for Print document we can give only one file PrintFileName.

But i want to give each file name in for each loop . any one can explain how is it possible?

Thanks..

I suppose you want to combine all images in one printdocument and send that printdocument to the printer? — User999999, Feb 10 '14 at 08:11

question subject is look like wrong... answer;

var filenames = Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"c:\targetImagePath", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                        .Where(s => s.EndsWith(".gif") || s.EndsWith(".jpg") || s.EndsWith(".bmp"));
foreach (var filename in filenames)
{
    //use filename
}

in my requirement only first time printpreviewdialog should open and preview all the files.is there posibility to send more files to printDocument at a time – PullaReddy Feb 10 '14 at 08:11
yes. you can print them using IDocumentPaginatorSource. but all files add in one document and print page by page. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/WPF-Printing-Overview-f28c541a – Nuri YILMAZ Feb 10 '14 at 08:18

you could use this link for paginator implementation http://www.dotnetframework.org/default.aspx/4@0/4@0/untmp/DEVDIV_TFS/Dev10/Releases/RTMRel/wpf/src/Core/CSharp/System/Windows/Documents/DocumentPaginator@cs/1305600/DocumentPaginator@cs and after that you can implement getPage method with this link answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7825056/blank-pages-when-implementing-documentpaginator – Nuri YILMAZ Feb 10 '14 at 15:08
