Question

I’m attempting to use Mono to load a bitmap and print it on Linux but I’m getting an exception. Does Mono support printing on Linux? The code/exception are below:

EDIT: No longer getting the exception, but I’m still curious what kind of support there is. Leaving the code for posterity or something.

private void btnPrintTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {     _printDocTest.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;     _printDocTest.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new Margins(50,50,50,50);     _printDocTest.Print(); }  void _printDocTest_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) {   var bmp = new Bitmap('test.bmp');    // Determine center of graph   var xCenter = e.MarginBounds.X + (e.MarginBounds.Width - bmp.Width) / 2;   var yCenter = e.MarginBounds.Y + (e.MarginBounds.Height - bmp.Height) / 2;    e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, xCenter, yCenter);    e.HasMorePages = false; } 

Answer 1

From the Mono docs, I think yes:

Managed.Windows.Forms (aka System.Windows.Forms): A complete and cross platform, System.Drawing based Winforms implementation.

It also useful if you run the Mono Migration Analyzer first.
