Silverlight Simple MVVM Printing - by Deborah Kurata
Many users want to print information from your line of business (LOB) application. This post covers the simple case where the user wants to print a copy of what they see on the screen. But instead of putting the print code in the code behind file, it follows a Model-View-View/Model (MVVM) approach.
NOTE: This post is part of a series that starts with this prior post. The example in this post uses the application that is built as part of that series.
NOTE: If you are new to MVVM, this prior post provides an introduction.
Silverlight 4 introduced two features that are the basis of this post: printing support and commanding.
Using the built-in commanding feature to support printing requires the following steps:
1) Create a command class that implements the ICommand interface.
2) Create a property of type ICommand in the View/Model class for a PrintCommand.
3) Build a button to launch the printing and bind the Command property of the button to the property created in 2 above.
