VB.NET code snippet for printing using Design Review Control

By Gopinath Taget

If you are wondering how you could use the Autodesk Design Review control to print a DWF file in a .NET App, here is a code snippet that will help:

Private Sub SimplePrintButton_Click(

ByVal sender As System.Object,

ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SimplePrintButton.Click

        Dim ctrl As ExpressViewerDll.CExpressViewerControl
        ctrl = AxCExpressViewerControl1.GetOcx()

        Dim plt As EPlotViewer.IAdEPlotViewer
        plt = ctrl.DocumentHandler
        plt.SimplePrint(True, True)
End Sub

Please do make sure you have the “DwfComposer EplotViewer 1.0 Type Library” COM library referenced in your application.
