Hello Folks,
I have an asp.net application which requires to fill a form. Once the
form is completed, it should print the final page on server side (not
the client side). I tried to use SHDocVw.InternetExplorer object. It
opens up the window but it is hidden(even if it I make visible
property to True). If I given print command, it does nothing. Here is
my code.
I have added reference of Interop.SHDocVw.dll

Imports System.Threading
Try
           Dim o As Object
           Dim result As Object
           ie.Navigate("http://localhost/Default.aspx", o, o, o, o)
           ie.Visible = True
           While ie.Busy
               Thread.Sleep(300)
           End While
           ie.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMDID.OLECMDID_PRINT,
SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, o, o)
       Catch ex As Exception
           Response.Write("<br>Error occurred<br>")
           Response.Write(ex.Message)
           'Response.Write("<br>" & ex.InnerException.ToString)
       End Try

When I run this code, no error occurs but IE window is hidden. (In
process list it shows IE) For printing, it does not do anything.
Is there anyway I can get server side printing in asp .net?

Thanks
