ValidationResult Structure
Represents a merged PrintTicket that is guaranteed to be viable, with a report of any settings that were changed to make it viable.
Assembly: ReachFramework (in ReachFramework.dll)
The ValidationResult type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
ConflictStatus | Gets a value indicating whether a conflict occurred between the functionality supported by the printer and the functionality requested in the initial merger of two source PrintTickets. |
|
ValidatedPrintTicket | Gets a PrintTicket object that results from the merging of two PrintTicket objects, which might have been adjusted to ensure its viability. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Equals | Determines whether the specified ValidationResult is equal to the current ValidationResult. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).) |
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetHashCode | Gets the hash code associated with the ValidationResult and its PrintTicket and print stream. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
ToString | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Equality | Determines if the specified ValidationResult objects are equal. |
|
Inequality | Determines if the specified ValidationResult objects are not equal. |
If the initial PrintTicket asks for printing functionality that the printer does not support, the printer driver resolves all conflicts in order to produce a viable ticket.
The following example shows how to use the values of this type while merging two print tickets.
/// <summary> /// Changes the user-default PrintTicket setting of the specified print queue. /// </summary> /// <param name="queue">the printer whose user-default PrintTicket setting needs to be changed</param> static private void ChangePrintTicketSetting(PrintQueue queue) { // // Obtain the printer's PrintCapabilities so we can determine whether or not // duplexing printing is supported by the printer. // PrintCapabilities printcap = queue.GetPrintCapabilities(); // // The printer's duplexing capability is returned as a read-only collection of duplexing options // that can be supported by the printer. If the collection returned contains the duplexing // option we want to set, it means the duplexing option we want to set is supported by the printer, // so we can make the user-default PrintTicket setting change. // if (printcap.DuplexingCapability.Contains(Duplexing.TwoSidedLongEdge)) { // // To change the user-default PrintTicket, we can first create a delta PrintTicket with // the new duplexing setting. // PrintTicket deltaTicket = new PrintTicket(); deltaTicket.Duplexing = Duplexing.TwoSidedLongEdge; // // Then merge the delta PrintTicket onto the printer's current user-default PrintTicket, // and validate the merged PrintTicket to get the new PrintTicket we want to set as the // printer's new user-default PrintTicket. // ValidationResult result = queue.MergeAndValidatePrintTicket(queue.UserPrintTicket, deltaTicket); // // The duplexing option we want to set could be constrained by other PrintTicket settings // or device settings. We can check the validated merged PrintTicket to see whether the // the validation process has kept the duplexing option we want to set unchanged. // if (result.ValidatedPrintTicket.Duplexing == Duplexing.TwoSidedLongEdge) { // // Set the printer's user-default PrintTicket and commit the set operation. // queue.UserPrintTicket = result.ValidatedPrintTicket; queue.Commit(); Console.WriteLine("PrintTicket new duplexing setting is set on '{0}'.", queue.FullName); } else { // // The duplexing option we want to set has been changed by the validation process // when it was resolving setting constraints. // Console.WriteLine("PrintTicket new duplexing setting is constrained on '{0}'.", queue.FullName); } } else { // // If the printer doesn't support the duplexing option we want to set, skip it. // Console.WriteLine("PrintTicket new duplexing setting is not supported on '{0}'.", queue.FullName); } }
