RSClientPrint

Hi all,

I wanted to use the RSClientPrint.dll on my website for printing server documents on the client. But I can nowhere find the dll (activeX).

Can someone provide me with that dll or send me a message where to find it, and will it work without Reporting Services?

TIA,

Dirk Ooms

You can find the dll embedded in the rsclientprint.cab file of your Reporting Services installation. Or, if you install the active-x control, you can find the dll in %windir%\Downloaded Program Files. Make sure you install all of the files (.dll, .rll and .ini) if using the print control directly.|||

Maybe I was looking in the wrong direction,

I found the DLL but I wanted to use it to print word documents on the client from a web browser.

Is this possible or can you only print Reports created by Reporting Services with it?

The print method is described as:

public abstract new void Print ( System.String reportServerUrl , System.String reportPath , System.String reportName )
Member of RSClientPrintLib.IRSClientPrint

Is there a possibility for printing word documents with this functionality or do I have to look for an other solution?

For the moment I'm converting the word files to pdf, showing the pdf in an other screen and then the user has to push the print button.

But if possible I would like to avoid the conversion, and provide the user automatically with the print option screen to print a document on his local printer without having to open that document on screen.

Any suggestions are welcome!
