What does CBB TextPrinter contain?

CBB TextPrinter contains the following three objects:

  • FormTextPrinter - FormTextPrinter allows you to load a Form (textual template) from a file or from a string, fill in the parameters and then send it to print. This allows you to accomplish separation between code and data in a very elegant way.
  • BufferedTextPrinter - BufferedTextPrinter allows you to send data to a buffer and, when you are ready, to print all of it to the printer. This helps your printing jobs to be atomic.
  • DirectTextPrinter - DirectTextPrinter is a stateless printing object. It has only one method PrintDirect, thus being the most low-level object of the three. DirectTextPrinter is also a MTS enabled object and it can be pooled.
