I have a problem with the Printer configuration through ASP.net code.

It is working on my local system but it could not pick up the printer name in the remote system.

I am getting the message -- your printer is not configured.

Working fine on my local system,but its not working on remote system.

Infact default printer was set on the remote system.

Please find the code

protected void imgBtnPrint_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)

{

StringBuilder printerName = new StringBuilder();

printerName.Append(@"\\");

try

{

if (HasPrinter())

{

int maxPages = 0;

maxPages = Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GISReportMaxNoOfPagesForPrint"].ToString());

SetDatabaseLogonForReport();

CrystalReportViewer1.SeparatePages = false;

if (Session["PrinterName"] != null)

{

crReport.PrintOptions.PrinterName = Session["PrinterName"].ToString();

}

crReport.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 1, maxPages);

//string StrWindow = "";

//StrWindow += "<Script language=javascript>";

//StrWindow += "window.print();";

//StrWindow += "</Script>";

//Response.Write(StrWindow);

}

else

{

lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

lblMsg.Text = "Your System is not configured with any Printer. Please Configure and Print the Report";

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

Common.CatchError(ex, "GISReportViewer:imgBtnPrint_Click");

lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

//lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

//lblMsg.Text = "Your System is not configured with any Printer. Please Configure and Print the Report";

}

}

private bool HasPrinter()

{

bool retValue = default(bool);

string printerName = string.Empty;

string searchQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer where default =true";

// For Default printer

// searchQuery ="SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer where default =true";

// Select Printers from WMI Object Collections

ManagementObjectSearcher searchPrinters = new ManagementObjectSearcher(searchQuery);

ManagementObjectCollection printerCollection = searchPrinters.Get();

//Checking for the printerName in the PrinterCollection

foreach (ManagementObject printer in printerCollection)

{

alPrinter.Add(printer.Properties["Name"].Value.ToString().ToLower());

}

foreach (string s in alPrinter)

{

if (!s.Contains("microsoft xps document writer"))

{

if (!s.Contains("adobe pdf"))

{

Session["PrinterName"] = s;

retValue = true;

}

}

}

//printerCollection.Dispose();

Session["PrinterName"] = "GIS - Fay House 290 - SHARP MX-M450N PCL6 on PRINTS";

//return retValue;

return true;

}

Would love to see the VB source code.

Secondly, towards the end, when you clicked to "Create User", why were you logged in "Immediately"? I thought you set that in not to log you until you have been approved. How come it didn't work?

Thanks!

I think I will loose all the indentations in this code, this box is not designed to show source code. Sorry about that.

1 - In Register.aspx

- Modify:

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="RegisterUser" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" OnCreatedUser="RegisterUser_CreatedUser">

to

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="RegisterUser" runat="server" EnableViewState="false"

DisableCreateUser="True"

LogInCreateUser="false"

OnCreatedUser="RegisterUser_CreatedUser">

2 - In Web.Config

PROBLEM WITH THE 'LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SERVER' I DON'T KNOW THE SETTINGS OR IF IT CAN WORK WITH THE DEVELOPMENT SERVER.

</system.web> NOT <system.web> check the slash before system.web

<system.net>

<mailSettings>

<network

host="mail.joestagner.com"

port="2525"

userName="UserName.JoeStagner.com"

</smtp>

</mailSettings>

</system.net>

3 - Create a new folder named: "EmailsTemplates"

- Add a new file named: "VerifyNewUser.txt"

- Enter this test in the file

Hello <%Username%>,

Welcome abord.<br /><br />

Your new account is almost ready, but before you can log in you must first [ <a href="<%VerificationURL%>" CLICK HERE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT.</a> ]<br /><br />

Once you have visited the verification URL you will redirected to the login page.

If you have any problems or questions, please reply to this email.<br /><br />

Thanks.

4 - In Register.aspx.cs

- Add

using System.Net.Mail;

using System.IO;

Add in protected void RegisterUser_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MembershipUser newUser = Membership.GetUser(RegisterUser.UserName);

Guid newUserId = (Guid)newUser.ProviderUserKey;

string urlBase = Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + Request.ApplicationPath;

string verifyUrl = "VerifyNewUser.aspx?Id=" + newUserId.ToString();

string fullPath = urlBase + verifyUrl;

string AppPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath;

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(AppPath + "EmailsTemplates/VerifyNewUser.txt");

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();

message.IsBodyHtml = true;

message.From = new MailAddress("Joe.Stagner@Microsoft.com");

message.To.Add(new MailAddress(RegisterUser.Email));

message.CC.Add(new MailAddress("Joe.Stagner@Microsoft.com"));

message.Subject = "New User registration !";

message.Body = sr.ReadToEnd();

sr.Close();

message.Body = message.Body.Replace("<%Username%>", RegisterUser.UserName);

message.Body = message.Body.Replace("<%VerificationURL%>", fullPath);

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

client.Send(message);

...

}

5 - Add a WinForm Page "VerifyNewUser.aspx" with Masterpage checkbox set.

6 - In "VerifyNewUser.aspx.cs"

- Add using System.Web.Security;

- Add in

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["ID"]))

{

VerificationMessageLabel.Text = "No Id whas specified ...";

}

else

{

Guid userId;

try

{

userId = new Guid(Request.QueryString["ID"]);

}

catch

{

VerificationMessageLabel.Text = "The User Id specified is not in the proper format...";

return;

}

MembershipUser usr = Membership.GetUser(userId);

if (usr == null)

{

VerificationMessageLabel.Text = "No corresponding user account could be found ...";

}

else if (usr.IsApproved == true)

{

VerificationMessageLabel.Text = "The specified user account was previously activated ...";

}

else

{

usr.IsApproved = true;

Membership.UpdateUser(usr);

VerificationMessageLabel.Text = "Your Account Has Been Approved !!!";

}

Great video - I have it working. Only thing is the new user is automatically logged in even though I have LoginCreatedUser set to false.

I can't figure why - can you help?

Thanks

Hi Joe, this is a very useful video. Thanks!

However, I am getting the same issue as SimonBarnett, i.e. the user is automatically logged in, although LoginCreatedUser="false".

Also, I noticed that the Verification link in the email that is sent didn't work initially. Then I realised there was a minor error in the code,

where there is a "/" missing in front of the VerifyNewUser.aspx (within Register.aspx.cs). So it should be like this:

string verifyUrl = "/VerifyNewUser.aspx?ID=" + newUserId.ToString();

Now it works fine thanks!!!

If you have any ideas about the user being automatically logged in, please let me know.

Much Obliged.

Your tutorials have been always helpful and easy to implement.

Keep up the good job.

Just implemented your registration Verification Pattern. I'm getting the following error when I register my user: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.

Any idea how I could fit this into your pattern?
