A script in C1PrintDocument does not seem tobe working as expected

    I used ObjectResolvedScript to ensure that a document starts on an odd page if programmed to do so.

    If the document is going to be rendered on an even page then the script below uses LayoutChangeNewPage to insert a blank page without header and footer, forcing the document is to starts on an odd page.

    The issue is that the blank page sometimes is output that contains header and footer.

    Script:



    </```

    
    

    RenderEmpty re = new RenderEmpty();

    re.ObjectResolvedScript =

    “if MultiDocument.PageCount mod 2 = 0 then\r\n” +

    " Dim lc As LayoutChangeNewPage = New LayoutChangeNewPage()\r\n" +

    " lc.PageLayout = New PageLayout()\r\n" +

    " lc.PageLayout.Pageheader = New RenderEmpty()\r\n" +

    " lc.PageLayout.PageFooter = New RenderEmpty()\r\n" +

    " Document.Body.Children(RenderObject.IndexInOwner + 1).LayoutChangeAfter = lc\r\n" +

    “else\r\n” +

    " Document.Body.Children(RenderObject.IndexInOwner + 1).LayoutChangeAfter = Nothing\r\n" +

    “end if”;

    doc.Body.Children.Add(re);

    doc.Body.Children.Add(new RenderEmpty());

    Many thanks. It works. What is thinking behind your solution?

    Also when you create longer than 1 page then the page numbers do have the desired effect. Make the following change and see it yourself,

    I would like to a page header and footer on all page except the page that is forced to start a document on a even page.

    
             private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                C1MultiDocument md = new C1MultiDocument();
                md.Items.Add(CreateDoc("Coversheet", 10, false));
                md.Items.Add(CreateDoc("TOC", 100, true));
                md.Items.Add(CreateDoc("Code A", 120, true));
                md.Items.Add(CreateDoc("Code B", 200, false));
                md.Items.Add(CreateDoc("Code C", 12, true));
                md.Items.Add(CreateDoc("Index", 150, true));            
                md.Generate();
    
                using (C1PrintPreviewDialog d = new C1PrintPreviewDialog())
                {
                    d.Document = md;
                    d.ShowDialog();
                };
