Steps to reproduce: Click 'Print' on the datagrid demo page Click Cancel in the print dialog Click 'Print' again > Get the exception Steps to not reproduce :) Click 'Print' on the datagrid Choose a printer/XPS and print the document Click 'Print' again and it will work, since it got the EndPrint event.

I found what looks like a small bug in the printing control and just wanted to give you a heads up. If I click the print button but then cancel the dialog, and print again, I get the following Exception (presumably it's not printing if I cancel it?): Cannot print two things at once at SLaB.Printing.Controls.CollectionPrinter.Print(PrintDocument document) at SLaB.Printing.Controls.CollectionPrinter.Print() at SLaB.Printing.Controls.CollectionPrinter.b__0(Object param) Hi again, and thanks for your prompt answers!

When you turn on assembly caching in VS, it should be putting these zip files in the right place for you. Assuming you're using an ASP.NET web project, check to see that your ClientBin contains the SLaB.Printing.Controls.zip file. -David David,
