I'm using .rdlc report in my web application, exporting report to pdf & print it works great but now i wanted to print report automatically(i,e on click of print button.)
There is no way to print the rdlc report in all three browser Mozilla,Chromeand IE
Please help me if any body know the way.
I am using the below code:
function first_Click() {
//open new window set the height and width =0,set windows position at bottom
var a = window.open('', '', 'left =' + screen.width + ',top=' + screen.height + ',width=0,height=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,status=0');
a.document.write($("#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rptViewer_ctl09").html());
a.document.close();
a.focus();
//call print
a.print();
a.close();
return false;
}
It is working in all 3 browser but it have the styles problem like table style,color etc.
To avoid style and layout issues when printing a RDLC report you cannot just print the HTML generated by the reporting engine. Each browser will accomodate elements and apply styles differently. The only way to get a common and unique output printing from
a RDLC report is to export it to PDF and print it. Of course, with the built-in functionalty on RDLC, this involves the user to be presented with the PDF document and then print it i.e. many steps/clicks are required by the end user. But
this article shows you a way to print a RDLC report wihtout extra steps and that works in all browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera & Safari). You can use that code or get an idea of how to do it by yourself.
