Hi Sam,

How are you creating your XPS documents? The .NET 3.0 XpsDocumentWriter
class provides a WriteAsync() method that does not require the
application to create a secondary thread (the asynchronous operation is
handled internally). For details please see the following MSDN links:

XpsDocumentWriter Class
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com...windows.xps.xp
sdocumentwriter.aspx

XpsDocumentWriter.WriteAsync Method
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com...windows.xps.xp
sdocumentwriter.writeasync.aspx

The "Reading and Printing XPS Documents" article, section "Save a
Document Asynchronously" (page 9), discusses and outlines the code to
use with the XpsDocumentWriter.WriteAsync() method.
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/xps-read.mspx

"Saving an XPS Document Sample" provides full source code to a working
sample that writes XPS documents both synchronously and asynchronously.

I hope these help. Thanks for your interest and please let us know if
you have any other questions.

Sincerely,
Jack Davis [MS Windows Client SDK]

Conversation: how to create XPS doc in secondary thread
Subject: how to create XPS doc in secondary thread

Can anyone point me to some examples how to create XPS documents in a
background thread?

So far all examples I've seen need the dispatcher of the GUI thread, so
creating large documents stops the GUI, making the program feel dead to
the user.

Thanks,
Sam
