Printing

[Darren]

Guys,

Based on selection in a datagrid,I need to retrieve info
to construct a letter from a table in my database and
send it off for printing.Now the thing is there may be a
few hundred letters to be printed.How do I accomplish
this in ASP.NET

Any examples/links would be appreciated

Crystal Reports would be good for printed formatted reports.

Are you doing client side printing or server side printing?

Crystal is included with VS.NET and has an HTML browser. It works great
because you can export the reports/letters as PDF thus allowing almost
perfect reproduction on the client side.

Another possiblity is to use Microsoft Word and do a mail merge.

You can access Microsoft Word via the Office Interops.

Why would people use datagrids, etc to build reports when Crystal can do it
much better - and it's easier to maintain too?

Crystal is included with all versions VS.NET... so would it make more sense
to leverage Crystal than to manually recreate the wheel?

However, I guess ASP.NET is also targeted for those without VS.NET.
