MrXs

first of all can i say hello to all members :D

i have made a very basic program with a few one line text boxes and a
few drop down boxes

i would like to print the data that is selected in these boxes, in the
same layout they appear on the form.

what is the easiest way to do this ?

also is there a easy way to save this layout and data to a txt file of
some kind for future printing / reading of the data ?

Thanks :)

You could take a screenshot and then send this screenshot to the
printer:

For printing, have a look at the 'PrintDocument' class and its
'PrintPage' event. Inside the 'PrintPage' event you can use
'e.Graphics.DrawImage' to draw the screenshot onto the printer.

There are many ways to do that, but you will have to write the code for
loading the data and assigning it to the controls yourself.
