不预览的打印网页浏览器，即单击打印

I have a c# .Net application that opens a custom Print Preview form (compromising of a WebBrowser form control that displays a HTML file and a button which prints the contents of the web browser control:

我有一个c# .Net应用程序，它打开一个自定义的打印预览表单(损害了显示HTML文件的web浏览器表单控件和打印web浏览器控件内容的按钮):

webBrowser.Print();

However, I now would like to print the HTML file WITHOUT opening this form.

但是，我现在想打印HTML文件而不打开这个表单。

I have tried to load the html into a webbrowser form without displaying the form and called webBrowser.Print() but nothing will print. It seems I only can print if I show the form and load the HTML into the control.

我尝试将html加载到一个webbrowser表单中，而不显示表单和webBrowser.Print()，但不会打印任何内容。似乎只有显示表单并将HTML加载到控件中才能打印。

I have a sample console app that prints a set HTML files using WinForms WebBrowser. You can borrow the DoWorkAsync part of it for your printing task in a WinForms application, virtually without any changes:

我有一个示例控制台应用程序，它使用WinForms WebBrowser打印设置的HTML文件。您可以在WinForms应用程序中借用DoWorkAsync部分来完成打印任务，几乎不需要任何修改:

The only way I know is to render the website as image and then silently print it. Maybe this project will help you.

我所知道的唯一方法就是把网站渲染成图片，然后默默地打印出来。也许这个项目会对你有帮助。

What you are trying to do is called.

你要做的就是被称为。

Maybe you should search for alternatives depending in your technology. The implementation varies between Forms and WPF.

也许你应该根据你的技术来寻找替代品。实现在表单和WPF之间是不同的。
