Printing Datagrid View

[ComputerStop]

I am attempting to print a datagridview. I have not found any method
that works successfully. Has any one been successful with this?

Here is a C# implementation,
http://www.dotnethorizon.com/Printing/PrintDataGrid/DataGridPrinter.html

Assistance in converting the code to VB can be provided by the C# to VB
converter at http://www.kamalpatel.net/

Only try to convert small bits of code at a time.

Thanks William,

I have found several examples of printing a datagrid but in 2005 they
have the datagrid view and what worked with the datagrid does not seem
to work with the datagridview.

Moderately. I coded it myself, using the PrintPreview control, and "drawing"
in the paint event. Tedious, but satisfying. You can also buy 3rd party
controls.

Not having seen VS 2005, I am not familiar with the datagridview. However,
if you look at the code for printing a datagrid that I reference, it really
uses nothing about the datagrid other than the data that it holds as best I
can tell on a quick look. So this should be adaptable to whatever the
datagrid view is if it is just a vehicle to display data ion table form.

Hi Randy,

Yes, there is no build-in way to print the content of DataGridView, which
is the same as DataGrid(there is no build-in way to print DataGrid content
either). We still have to loop through all the row content of the
datasource and query corresponding DataGridView column/row style
information to do the customized printing, which really requires some work.

The link "William LaMartin" provided has showed us a good example of do the
customize printing. You can leverage the similiar idea and modify it to
DataGridView version, but I suspect this may need many modificaitons.

Thanks

Best regards,
