How to insert a page break in multi-page document?

Dear all,

For some reason, I have to write my own code to print a document instead of
using report writer. The source is an array with dynamic length. If one
page is full, I have to insert a page break and print a new page to
continue.

The following code segment is what I'm using right now. My question is how
to insert a page break in the middle of the loop since I don't find any
method in PrintDocument similar to this purpose.

Thanks for your attention and kindly help!

James

'>>> code segment
Private objPrintDoc As PrintDocument
Private arrData() As String

        Private Shared Sub PrnSlip()
                AddHandler objPrintDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf _PrnSlip

                Call objPrintDoc.Print()

                RemoveHandler objPrintDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf _PrnSlip
        End Sub

        Private Shared Sub _PrnSlip(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
PrintPageEventArgs)
                Dim strData As String

                For Each strData In arrData
                    ' loop the array arrData and print
                    ' if page is full, make a page break here and continue
                Next
        End Sub

Hi James,

Based on my research, we need to calculate the printed content size and
handle the PrintPage event to Print out our content.
You can take a look at the sample in the MSDN link below.

PrintDocument.PrintPage Event
