Code to open Indiana Cash Drawer from VB.Net/Crystal Report

[Shakil Shamji]

I have a VB.Net application which is deployed on Citrix. It uses
Crystal Report 8.5 for printing reports. One of my remote users has an
Indiana Cash Drawer connected to the printer port. When the crystal
report is printed the user wants her cash drawer to open. Can anyone
give me ideas as to how can I send a non-printable charater like
chr(33) to the drawer via the crystal report or otherwise to open the
drawer?

Thanks.

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.

Actually, he's multi-posted into unrelated groups... I'm replying from a
VB.NET group.
