How to print an aspx page (in process) - ASP / Active Server Pages

2 New Member

Hi All!

I have a page say parent.aspx which has a link to voucher.aspx.
The link opens the voucher.aspx.
Instead of opening it I want to print voucher.aspx when i click on the link on parent.aspx.
(off course there are calculations behind voucher.aspx)
How can I achieve this?

I am working on .net 2.0 with C#.

plus

What things we need to consider in making a page print freindly?

pls help

Hey!

As far as I know, there is no way to do this. Of course, if you have your p.asp and v.asp, you can always do some javascript tricks.

Maybe on v asp, you can do something like that:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<script type='text/javascript'>

function printme(){

    document.print();

    window.close();

}

</script>

<body onload='printme()'>

</body>

And define different css for screen and print, like this:
[HTML]
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/screen.css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/print.css" media="print" />
[/HTML]

And than you can just hide all of your contents with display:none in css.
Bit hacky, but hope I could work a bit.

To get a printer friendly page, I guess, the furst rule is to print it with a serif fontface and not a sans-serif, because this is designed for print.
