Print labels in c#????

[thomaz]

Hi;
I would like to know if exists a C# class or any methods
to print labels in different sizes like the labels in
Microsoft Word???

Thanks...

Thomaz,

There isn't anything in the framework itself that will handle this for
you. Basically, you will have to create a PrintDocument instance, and
handle all of the layout yourself.

There might be a third party component to do this as well.

Hope this helps.

You could use the Crystal .NET reporting functionality. Crystal has
pre-defined report templates for most label types.

Implement your labels in MS Word and then call via Office Automation.
Or perhaps design the label as a windows form and print an image of the form
to the printer.

Nicholas... Or you can use Visual Studio as a code generator.

If he's going to create a PrintDocument and handle the printing through
..NET code, he's probably better off creating a Crystal ReportDocument
and feeding it a DataSet object, then using the freebie Crystal.NET
designer to lay out the labels, since even the freebie designer has (or
you can get from the Crystal site) pre-defined label formats.

That's what our report designer guy does here. He's using nothing more
than the Crystal designer that comes with .NET and he tells me that
he's using Crystal's pre-defined label templates, and that they work
fine.

thomaz... if you decide to go this route, I can help you with the .NET
code, and maybe even find out where our report designer got the label
templates from.
