Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Printing.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Printing

Declaration

C#

public void CreateDocument()

VB.NET

Public Sub CreateDocument

Remarks

Once the document creation has started, it will run until the resulting document is complete and cannot be interrupted or canceled in the process.

To be able to access document pages progressively as they are created, as well as interrupt or cancel the document creation, call the CreateDocument method overload with the buildForInstantPreview parameter set to true.
