RemoteData Property

Summary

Gets the remote data related to the current printed job.

Syntax

C++

public PrintJobData RemoteData { get; }

  
Public ReadOnly Property RemoteData As PrintJobData

public: 
property PrintJobData^ RemoteData { 
   PrintJobData^ get(); 
}

Property Value

The remote data wrapper class.

Remarks

When printing a job from a remote machine, the data will be recieved in the server machine.

This property will return the data related to the current printe job.

This parameter will be available between JobStart and JobEnd for a given job.

This data has been sent from the client machine in the Leadtools.Printer.Client.IVirtualPrinterClient.PrintJob(Leadtools.Printer.Client.PrintJobData) method.

Example

using Leadtools.Printer; 
using Leadtools; 
 
public void PrinterDriverNetworkExamples() 
{ 
   networkPrinter = new Printer("Test LEADTOOLS Printer");

   networkPrinter.EnableNetworkPrinting = true; 
 
   //Check network printing state 
   bool bNetworkEnabled = networkPrinter.EnableNetworkPrinting; 
 
   string strData = "Network Printer Initial Data"; 
   //Set network initial data 
   SetNetworkData(strData); 
 
   //Get network initial data 
   string strRet = GetNetworkData(); 
 
   if (strRet != strData) 
      return; 
 
   networkPrinter.JobEvent += new EventHandler<JobEventArgs>(printer_NetworkJobEvent);
