Multi Page Tiffs

[Wolfen1842]

I am trying to move a program from VB 6 to VB.Net. One of the tasks it performed is displaying and printing multi-page TIFF files.

The control we had been using insists on having the printer HDC to render the document, and in .NET, there is no more HDC, thus the rendering fails.

The newest version of our control (which would work with .NET) costs about $500...an expense I can't justify for the little bit of processing we would be using it for.

Any ideas on how to accomplish these tasks cheaply?

Printing images in .NET is pretty straight forward (relatively). Have a look at the System.Drawing.Printing namespace.

Here's a link to a sample project that displays multiple paged tiffs and can also convert them to PDFs: Editing multi frame .Tiff file
