Printing a list box

G

Guest

Please could someone tell me what is wrong.
Ther error is:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in
microsoft.visualbasic.dll

Additional information: Object variable or With block variable not set.

I am trying to print the contents of a list box on another form.

This is the sub, and the highlighted line is where it is falling over.
Private Sub PrintDoco_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDoco.PrintPage

'm_CurrentPage += 1

Dim max As Integer
Dim n As Integer
max = lstData.count *****************************************
MsgBox(max, , "Test")
For n = 0 To max - 1
e.Graphics.DrawString(lstData.item.count(), New Font("arial",
12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 200, 200 + n * 45)
Next

e.HasMorePages = False

End Sub

This is the code for both forms :

Nick,

I think that when you want some help, you should first make a more simple
sample. This code you show now you can test, we miss all input, therefore
helping you is in my opinion almost impossible or there should be somebody
who has a lucky hit and than still it will be guessing in my opinion.

Probably by the way when you make that simple sample, you find the error
yourself.

Sorry could not give any help more,

Cor
