Printing Windows Form...

[bartee]

New to developing windows applications. Using VS 2005.

I have a simple webform that I want to give the user the ability to print. I added a the printdocument from the designer and a menustrip for the printing option.

I added the following code in the "PrintToolStripMenuItem_Click" event but it only prints a blank page, not the content displaying in the form.

PrintDocument1.Print()

What's the best way to print the form contents?

Any suggestions, articles, etc are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

webform ? I guess windows form. Right?

A printdocument object as an event called "PrintPage". In there, using the "e.graphics" you will design...

Also take a look at

Hope I helped!

Sorry. Meant windows form.

Still having trouble with the coding to print the form, as it's displayed, within the PrintPage event (using e.graphics).
