How are hot fixes installed? After running the hot fix file, I see a folder with directories for each library or control, e.g., UltraWinPrintPreviewDialog. Am I supposed to open the control in VS 2008 to generate a replacement dll for the control in question, the UltraWinPrintPreviewDialog? Then copy the dll to the appropriate program file\infragistics subfolder. Help?

After you install the hot fix installer, you'll have a new version of the NetAdvantage assemblies installed into your GAC, as well as placed in the installation directory of the toolset itself.  You don't have to compile the assemblies for our controls - we've done that for you.

Your Visual Studio toolbox will still point at the previous version of the assemblies.  Because of this, the first thing you'll want to do is to update these to point to the current version of the assmeblies instead.  You can do this by running the Toolbox Utility again, or by manually replacing either the individual entries or the whole tab.

You might also have to update your applications to point at the new version of the assemblies.  You can use the Project Uprgrade Add-In or Project Upgrade Utility to automate this, or you can update the references manually.

After installing hot fix file "NetAdvantage_20083_CLR2X_WIN_HotFix_2039.zip," the UltraPrintPreviewDialog based off an infragistics report still displays text in a non-sharp disabled/gray color. Would you please run the form code and click the button to see if this is just me or if this is a real issue I should submit? ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using Infragistics.Win.Printing; using Infragistics.Documents; using Infragistics.Documents.Report; using Infragistics.Documents.Report.Projection; using Infragistics.Win; using Infragistics.Documents.Report.QuickText; using Infragistics.Documents.Report.Section; using Infragistics.Documents.Utils; namespace win_ultraprintdialog { public partial class Form1 : Form { private Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraButton ultraButton1; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.ultraButton1 = new Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraButton(); this.SuspendLayout(); // // ultraButton1 // this.ultraButton1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(157, 47); this.ultraButton1.Name = "ultraButton1"; this.ultraButton1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(106, 37); this.ultraButton1.TabIndex = 0; this.ultraButton1.Text = "ultraButton1"; this.ultraButton1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.ultraButton1_Click); // // Form1 // this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273); this.Controls.Add(this.ultraButton1); this.Name = "Form1"; this.Text = "Form1"; this.ResumeLayout(false); } private void ultraButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Complete this by estimating the average or projected monthly expenses at time case filed.

stanleyconstant,

I'm glad that my code is used ;)

My code only render the Report on the graphics surface of a printer. That is all.

You submitted code is a mess, unreadable, please attach a zip with sources if you want a reply ;)

Do you have tryed to print directly the Report w/o preview it (with Report.Print())?
If yes the text still grey also on the printed document?

I used Report with many types of docs, but it still working good everytime... one suggestion, read your code that describe/create the Report, the problem could be here.

Regards,

Davide.

I'm sorry, but this forum is not allowing me to upload zipped or any files. Do you have a suggestion?

Okay. I understood the document printed fine in black. I guess the UltraPrintPreviewDialog will not work as a means of properly viewing the report with sharp black text.

Thanks for the help and the code.

I saw,
the preview seems grey, but is not grey, it's correct!
Remember that the preview is done on a scaled version of the document on a LCD monitor ... and the blackness of text may be affected by severals factors (ambiental light, adjustments of monitor, ecc).

If you print, via the preview dialog or via Report.Print(), the printed doc is correct.

To enable printing from preview dlg remove the lline  98 (e.Cancel = true;)
To print directly fomr Report you must specific the printer name; you can get the name of default printer of the PC with this code:

System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings psets = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
string _currentPrinter = psets.PrinterName;

Ciao
