how do i print the second image in the second page of the print document..

C#

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
    {
        Graphics graphics = e.Graphics;

        Image bgFront = ((PictureBox)pictureBox_IDFront).Image;
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(bgFront, 0, 0, 212, 337);


        Image bgBack = ((PictureBox)pictureBox_IDBack).Image;
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(bgBack, 212, 0, 212, 337);
    }

i want to print the second image to another page. i will only need 2 pages for this. the front and the back image. each pages includes some string like this is for the second page. the back page.

C#

e.Graphics.DrawString("Employee Information", printFont, Brushes.Black, y, x);
        x = x + (printFont.Size + spacing);
        e.Graphics.DrawString("Name: " + this.label_FullName.Text, printFont, Brushes.Black, y, x);
        x = x + (printFont.Size + spacing);
        e.Graphics.DrawString("Address: ", printFont, Brushes.Black, y, x);

You need to add the code to your printing method to check which page you are on when it gets called.

that's my problem. i don't know how to determine which page i am on. can you pls show it to me. i'm sorry. i've been trying this for weeks now. every time i use hasmorepages i get more like unlimited pages. sorry for my English. thank you.

Create a counter that lets you know which page you are on.

int pages = 1;
if (pages == 1)
{
Image bgFront = ((PictureBox)pictureBox_IDFront).Image;
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bgFront, 0, 0, 212, 337);
pages++;
e.HasMorePages = true;
}
else
{
Image bgBack = ((PictureBox)pictureBox_IDBack).Image;
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bgBack, 212, 0, 212, 337);
pages = 0;
e.HasMorePages = false;
}

i know this is wrong coz it will only call one of them. i don't know where to put the second page. i've tried both if and it still print both images on the same page. thank you.

See Duncan's explanation below. Your page count must be at class level, not local to this method.

Have a quick read of: An absolute beginner's guide to printing in .NET[^]

The PrintPage routing gets called once for every page printed and will continue on if e.HasMorePages is True

You need a page count variable declared outside of that routine that you update and - if pagecount = 2 then e.HasMorePages = False

You can also use that same variable to decide what image to print.

When you do multipage printing, it's up to you to decide which page you are printing at any moment, as showed in MSDN: How to: Print a Multi-Page Text File in Windows Forms[^]
That example prints from a string, and removes the printed part from it for next time, but it's exactly the same principle with images: either keep a class level variable which tells you which page you are on, or set up a collection of images to print and remove each from the collection when you print it.
