I would like to go on record to say that I think not having the Printer
collection in .Net is dumb. The only help tells me that I should use the
Print Dialog. Well, I don't want to. Programming is about flexability but
..Net is all about taking things away. I am using the Farpoint Win Spread
control and it has limited printing so I am REQUIRED to create a custom Print
dialog. Thanks to the Microsurfs that think they know what I need better than
I do I cannot make the Print dialog that will fit the Farpoint Win Spread
control.

for the record, every release of software is a matter of balance. of
schedule versus content. There's lots of stuff in the Framework today, we
thought about a printers collection, but sadly, it was among the things that
didn't make the cut. We're sorry that we cannot include everything.
I know it probably does not help you today, but in .NET version 2.0
("Whidbey"), there is a printer collection, in the My.Computer.Pri nters
namespace. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...05_preview.asp
In the meantime, maybe this will help you build your own collection? http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/src...ile=Printer.cs
I hope it helps.

Wait a minute. Doesn't the PrinterSettings .InstallPrinter s function in
System.Drawing. Printing provide exactly this feature?

Hello,
I'm trying to print the content of a RichTextBox from my VB 6 app.
What I want is that the CommonDialog shows up, the user selects a
printer and the content of the RichTextBox prints to the selected
printer. I'm not concerned about the text format.
What I tried is something like this

i have a problem with a network database that's used by a lot of

people are finding, they will start the database, and if the mouse is

Hi,
I am creating application in VB 2005. and when I print report it adds extra

I have made an electronic sign out book for my office in ASP using
VBScript.
Problem is, when there is a fire we need to check who is out and who
is burning. I have been trying to think of how to go about this,
perhaps the only way is by having an 'emergency print' button that
quickly prints thedocument to one, or even better all printers on the
network. That way when everyone is leaving they can grab the print
from the printer.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
