Printing. - Visual Basic .NET

appearinggalaxy

Hi,

I am trying to churn out some statistical data from database and
print it out by using printdocument and printdialog, but I realised
that the alignment of the data is gone, for instance, I use "vbTab",
but seems like it does not take effect on preview screen.

I am vex on this issue and would like to ask for the advice from
anyone who knows how to develop a good reporting module by using .net
printdocument and printdialog.

Thanks.

I do a lot of reports using PrintDocument and you just have to align the
items yourself. I set up an array of horizontal indents and vertical
positions and use these to draw on the printable area. Just pass in your
data in an easily parsable format and this works fine. I use XmlDocument
objects to contain the printing data since we have to send reports between
offices and this allows sending a simple file attachment. I paginate the
data before putting it into the deliver document and have specialized
PrintDocument classes for each document type to be printed. When printing I
just navigate through the DOM elements contained in each page element and
place them as desired.
This methodology makes it easier for me as I don't have to emit all the
elements in a specific order as they are selectable using SelectSingleNod e
or SelectNodes for navigation.

Printing Selected Page(s) = Blank Pages

by: Jody Gelowitz | last post by:

I am having a problem with printing selected pages. Actually, the problem isn't with printing selected pages as it is more to do with having blank pages print for those pages that have not been selected. For example, if I were to have 5 pages with every second page printing, I would get the following results: Page 1 = Print OK Page 2 = Blank Page 3 = Print OK Page 4 = Blank

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,...
