Text in .NET

[AHA]

Is it possible in VB.NET to print document using dot matrix printer
as we do with clipper? With Clipper we can set the column and line
printing and also we can eject the printer through the code.

I have a problem to print text in pre-printed form(document) using
VB.NET. My application is a web application, is it possible to print
such a pre-printed document in Web Application. How can I do it?

Thx

Web applications typically do not have access to the client's resources.

Wagner, thx for your information. But, if we try to use windows
application, is it possible to print to a pre-printed form as we do
with clipper? How?

It applies only to VS2003. Is it possible to make it work on VS2005?

Thank you

Yes, it should work just fine.

AFAIK the .Net 2.0 framework only added more features, it didn't take
any away. (though some were deprecated - but the replacement is
usually mentioned in the warning.)

Thanks,

No it does not work. ON this link it is written that it applies to VS2002
and VS2003
In VS2005 I am getting the message

'WindowsApplica tion2!WindowsAp plication2.RawP rinterHelper::O penPrinter' has

Try changing the DllImport from this:

<DllImport("win spool.Drv", EntryPoint:="Op enPrinterW", _
SetLastError:=T rue, CharSet:=CharSe t.Unicode, _
ExactSpelling:= True,
CallingConventi on:=CallingConv ention.StdCall) _
Public Shared Function OpenPrinter(ByV al src As String, ByRef
hPrinter As IntPtr, ByVal pd As Long) As Boolean
End Function

To this:

<DllImport("win spool.Drv", EntryPoint:="Op enPrinterW", _
SetLastError:=T rue, CharSet:=CharSe t.Unicode, _
ExactSpelling:= True, CallingConventi on:=CallingConv ention.StdCall) >
_
Private Shared Function OpenPrinter(ByV al pPrinterName As String,
_
ByRef hPrinter As IntPtr, ByVal pd As Integer) As Boolean
End Function

Let me know if it worked.
