Convert data to a printable format.

Sean

Hi,

I have a situation here regarding a VB.net application. I
need to convert a bunch of data to a presentable and
printable format.

Is there an economical (perhaps an open source third party
library) and easy way to do this? (For example: may be
build an XML document from the data and then convert it
into PDF format.)

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

regards,
Sean

Don't think crystal came with it - what could I do instead?

Hi Tym

A hack I sometimes use is to use the Web browser control to render some HTML
output (create the HTML from XML using XSLT), then trigger printing using
SendKeys...in terms of comparing it to the Crystal Reports approach, you lose
the ability to print without displaying a Print dialog, and the design time
support isn't there, but it's still pretty neat!

str() should convert ANY object to a string without EXCEPTIONS !

by: est | last post by:

From python manual str( ) Return a string containing a nicely printable representation of an object. For strings, this returns the string itself. The difference with repr(object) is that str(object) does not always attempt to return a string that is acceptable to eval(); its goal is to return a printable string. If no argument is given, returns the empty string, ''.
