A Final Word

In this column we started a new thread about print template development. We showed you how to use the DeviceRect and LayoutRect behaviors to format Web pages before printing. We taught you how to do it statically, when the number of pages is known and small. We also detailed the code that creates pages on the fly, to fit the exact number of required pages. We went carefully over the code and explained every relevant line.

In this column you have learned:

• How to create print templates with behaviors
• How to use the DeviceRect behavior
• How to use the LayoutRect behavior
• How to create a static print template with DeviceRect and LayoutRect
• How to dynamically create the first page
• How to dynamically create the rest of the pages

We also showed you the full code listing of the static print template, as well as the dynamic print template. You could load them from the enclosed zipped file.
