Printing Checks

[ckootg]

How do I print checks? I'm finding that the PostPendingChecks and ReprintCheck methods do not actually print checks.

I'm hoping someone can confirm that the PostPendingChecks and ReprintCheck methods doesn't actually print the check. But in the meantime, I'm trying to render the check/check stub manually. When I pass it the check transaction as the context, it renders blank. When I pass the transaction guid as a ISelectionRequest, since the crystal report accepts a string list for ContextID, it errors with a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error from SelectionBindingRequest. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Code: Select all

var transaction = tm.GetTransaction(transactionInfo);
var rendering = renderer.Render(docInfo, transaction, null);

Code: Select all

var transaction = tm.GetTransaction(transactionInfo);
var prompts = new RenderPrompts(transaction.ID.Guid.ToString("B"));
var rendering = renderer.Render(docInfo, null, prompts);

...

public class RenderPrompts : IPrompt<PromptEventArgs>
{
    private string _contextID;

    // Pass in desired responses for requested prompt IDs.
    public RenderPrompts(string contextID)
    {
        _contextID = contextID;
    }

    public void Request(PromptEventArgs value)
    {
        foreach (var prompt in value.Requests)
        {
            if (prompt.ID == "ContextID")
            {
                ISelectionRequest<string> response = (ISelectionRequest<string>)prompt;
                response.Handled = true;
                response.Selected = new string[] { _contextID };
            }
        }
    }
}

As in a previous post (Print Check), the setup for the check reprint operation is fairly complex and is beyond the scope of this forum. If you need further information then you may want to contact the Custom Software Group at SoftPro.

Understood that reprinting is beyond the scope of the forums, but what about just posting and printing checks? If we post a check transaction, it doesn't print, and it doesn't pull in the check number into the transaction reference number field. Are you saying standard check printing is also out of scope of the forums?

If not, can we see some sample code?

Unfortunately it doesn't look like printing checks is possible through the public API
