How to insert a page break in multi-page document?

[James Wong]

Dear all,

For some reason, I have to write my own code to print a document instead of
using report writer. The source is an array with dynamic length. If one
page is full, I have to insert a page break and print a new page to
continue.

The following code segment is what I'm using right now. My question is how
to insert a page break in the middle of the loop since I don't find any
method in PrintDocument similar to this purpose.

Thanks for your attention and kindly help!

James

'>>> code segment
Private objPrintDoc As PrintDocument
Private arrData() As String

Private Shared Sub PrnSlip()
AddHandler objPrintDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf _PrnSlip

Call objPrintDoc.Print()

RemoveHandler objPrintDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf _PrnSlip
End Sub

Private Shared Sub _PrnSlip(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
PrintPageEventArgs)
Dim strData As String

For Each strData In arrData
' loop the array arrData and print
' if page is full, make a page break here and continue
Next
End Sub
'>>>

Hi James,

Based on my research, we need to calculate the printed content size and
handle the PrintPage event to Print out our content.
You can take a look at the sample in the MSDN link below.

PrintDocument.PrintPage Event
