PrintDocument.OnBeginPrint(PrintEventArgs) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Drawing.Printing

Assembly:

System.Drawing.Common.dll

Source:

PrintDocument.cs

Raises the BeginPrint event. It is called after the Print() method is called and before the first page of the document prints.

C#

protected internal virtual void OnBeginPrint(System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs e);

Parameters

e

PrintEventArgs

A PrintEventArgs that contains the event data.

Remarks

The OnBeginPrint method allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

When a derived class calls the OnBeginPrint method, it raises the BeginPrint event by invoking the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnBeginPrint(PrintEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnBeginPrint(PrintEventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event. This method is a good place for initialization.
