Hi there, .Net contains a nice control called DocumentViewer. it also offers a subcontrol for finding text in the loaded document (that's at least what it is supposed to do). When inserting FixedPage's objects as document source for the DocumentViewer, the find-functionality just does not find anything. Not even single letters. I haven...
What is the best way to display and print XPS files in a Windows Forms application? ...
The following code snippet illustrates a memory leak when opening XPS files. If you run it and watch the task manager, it will grow and not release memory until the app exits. '** Console application BEGINS. Module Main Const DefaultTestFilePath As String = "D:\Test.xps" Const DefaultLoopRuns As Integer = 1000 Public Sub ...
My printer ran out of black toner and I didn’t have a spare, so I thought it’d be a good idea to “print” documents to .XPS files for now, then print them when the new toner arrives. So, now I have my toner but I can’t work out how to print the files. I found this great post on Tim Barcz’s blog which seems to indicate I’m not alone: http...
Hi all, I've got a WinForms .Net app that runs over a lot of XPS documents (thousands) and during this run the number of handles (according sysinternals process monitor and task manager) increases by between 3-10 for each document. I heavily suspect that these are handles that are opened and not closed by the MS .Net XPS framework libra...
I'm trying to print to Dot Matrix printers (various models) out of C#, currently I'm using Win32 API (you can find alot of examples online) calls to send escape codes directly to the printer out of my C# application. This works great, but... My problem is because I'm generating the escape codes and not relying on the windows print syste...
hello! I am working on a WPF application that opens and displays XPS documents. When the application closes, the specification is the application should delete the opened XPS document for clean up.

I've got a WCF service as middle tier, and on some occasions I need to create a printable document, store it for future reference in the database, and return it to the client. My first choice as file format was XPS, so I'd like to create an XPS document in a WCF service, store it, and return it. Is there an easy way to achieve this, or...

I've got a XAML FlowDocument containing a table with a lot of rows, spanning multiple pages, and I'm converting this FlowDocument to XPS. Now I'm looking for a way to repeat the header of the table on each page. I see two possible approaches: 1) Get the table to automagically print the header on each page. 2) Somehow by program find...
Hello! I would like to ask if there are any other alternatives, aside from DocumentViewer, for displaying an XPS document in a WPF application? A ready-to-use control or class in .NET if possible. This is because DocumentViewer is a little slow when you are scrolling through the pages. Thanks! ...
Is there a viewer object or ActiveX control I can use to embed an XPS document, or an XAML GUI in my .NET application? ...
Update! Binding works. The issue is that the XpsDocumentWriter doesn't properly write the first page of the first document of a FixedDocumentSequence. This seems to be an issue encountered by lots of people doing this sort of thing (i.e., five developers worldwide). The solution is slightly odd. I include it as an answer. Okay, i...
Hello! In WPF, I have tried passing the markup of an XPS file's FixedPage to a control that has the Content property (ex. Button.Content = XamlReader.Load()). Example of FixedPage markup: <FixedPage Width="816" Height="1056" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xps/2005/06" xml:lang="und"> <Path Data="M 115.52,132.48 L 704.64,132....
