Envelope printing

[st]

Hi,

We've a C#/ASP1.1 system that largely mirrors a VB one. The VB system
has a function that simply uses Word.Document to send a mailing address
to a printer for printing on an envelope. With one click an envelope
gets printed.

We'd like a similar function in the ASP system. I know the ties to Word
are a lot less tight but is this achievable?

Many thanks,

Simon Lane

Hi Simon,

You may want to look at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.* namespace. Some
reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/vsto/

It is achievable to call Word in .NET object (as well as ASP.NET object),
however, if it is a web form application, it may not be feasible to directly
call Word to print the printout directly to client computer thru browser.

It's doable.

Warning: ASP.NET is running under another account and that account does not have any printers installed (by default)
You might have to find an KB article in MSDN something like "How to print from NT service".
