Creating columned reports and printing in C#

Hi All;

I wrote an winforms application with an Access back end. i now need to
generate a series of reports most having a tabular data section. i'm not sure
how to create the tables so that they can be printed. i havn't written any
app that has printing capabilities and i'm not sure where to start. any ideas
or tutorials known?

also: should the printdocument control be part of the report or the app that
does the printing?

Shawn,
Crystal Report is what you need,
Try Google.

If you want to control printing yourself this may get you started:

You can also write your own printing framework as in:
