Large amounts of characters don't paginate

[scionwest]

I have the following block of text that comes in from our database that gets stuffed into a model property and i'm adding it to the MyShownObjectLineItem in your example app.

Due to the length of this string, the content needs to wrap onto the next page. A second page is created, but it is blank. I assume this is because WPF knows the content of the control doesn't fit on the 1st page completely, but doesn't render the remaining contents onto the 2nd page.

Is there a way for me to calculate the remaining height on a page, and determine based on the number of characters in my string, splice the string up into multiple IPrintContent instances that can properly span multiple pages?

Thank you for the feedback. I have pushed new changes to the library. Please use PrintContent.TextLine method to add plain strings. There are also some useful methods in PrintContent class.

But the above stated issue is still present. I will fix that using the StringLineItem class if you use PrintContent.TextLine

For your code do not use MyShownObjectLineItem use PrintContent.TextLine

---

There are some breaking changes:

• FileName is not virtual anymore (set it through constructor of the deriving class)
• PrintDefinition is not virtual anymore (set it through constructor of the deriving class)
• There is no need to set PrintDimension.*Height anymore

Do you have a version of this already compiled I can get? I'm not able to get this to build because of missing dependencies, such as the JetBrains annotations. I don't have ReSharper, which I think is required for those.

[michaelmairegger]

JetBrains.Annotations should be recovered at build time because of NuGet. You do not need to install ReSharper.

For a comiled version, I will try to resolve #1 as fast as possible.

[michaelmairegger]

You can now find a compiled version of this library on NuGet Mairegger.Printing

Awesome thanks!
