Printing In Silverlight 4.0

In silverlight 4.0 the main API for printing is PrintDocument class which lives in System.Windows.Printing namespace. Here are the steps we need to do  for a Printing.

1) First Create instance of  PrintDocument class.

2) Next Implement the PrintPage event handler and  Set PageVisual to the UIElement you want to print.

3)  Finally call Print() method.
