    Use database field - create a 400 rows of temp text database by your code, assign that to btw file and print.

    Basically that's what you can do with Commander, however if you want to do that entirely by .net SDK, article below might helps.

    that is not going to work with multiple label templates right? that is the problem.

    I understand I can create a database or text file db connection. but we use up to 4 different templates and we want to stay away from layers as it makes editing the label template more of a chore for those that did not originally create it.

     

    Unless I don't understand but as soon as you change to a different template and print from that it will start a new job.  That is the problem.

    to be clear.

    I have 4 label types. lets call them A,B,C and D.

    when the print job starts:

    A prints.

    C

    B

    B

    B

    B

    C

    B

    B

    C

    B

    D

     

    so in this case we preopen 4 templates.  We issue a template.print based on which one is needed.

    I just noticed that each label document can have multiple templates assigned to it.  I think this might be what I need to use.

    will look into this.

    then I can set the template to one data source and use the template I need from with in the template document.  Hope I am on the right track.

    You can do this with each different label as a template in the same file.  Then use one of the database fields to indicate which label template you want to print.  On the template "Print when" dialog, you can say: when field template_name = "A" or whatever you need. Send 400 records to this one BTW file, and it will print in one job.
