Print All Views in MultiView

[jomax]

I have given the user the ability to print the entire content in each of the Views in a Multi-View. But, if the user wants a complete report of all the views in a Multiview, how would I go about doing that? Thank you!

What do you mean a complete report of the views?

Currently, the user may print the contents of an individual view at a time. I have three views. So if there are on View2, they are able to print View2 only.

I would like a way to print all three views with one click of a (printer friendly) button. So it would be something like:

for each view in MultiView
print content in view1
print content in view2
print content in view3

You could render each control to a HtmlTextWriter and then write the entire contents out to a page.

Thanks, Mark. Can I render images to the HtmlTextWriter, too? There are chart images included in the content.

another option.
move the contents of each view into a web user control.
have n + 1 views. each view gets a user control. the last view gets all the user controls.
printing the 4th view is just like printing all the others.

example

UC1.ascx
UC2.ascx
UC2.ascx

<multiview>
 <views>
  <view 1><UC1 /></view 1>
  <view 2><UC2 /></view 2>
  <view 3><UC3 /></view 3>
  <view 4><UC1 /><UC2 /><UC3 /></view 4>
 <views>
</multiview>

Yes, I don't see why not. Try it and see...
