property bool PrintToFile { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

Public Property PrintToFile As Boolean
Property Value
true
if the printing output is sent to a file; otherwise, false
. The default is false
.
Remarks
The PrintToFile property is used by the PrintDialog when the user selects the Print to file option. In such a case, the output port is set to "FILE," causing the Windows printing subsystem to prompt the user for a file name when the PrintDocument.Print method is called.
Note
The PrintToFile property is only used by the PrintDialog and cannot be set programmatically. The Print to file
option only appears on the PrintDialog when the PrintDialog.AllowPrintToFile property is set to true
.
