Visual Studio (VB) 2008

[executive2002]

Hi all,
this is my first post on your site, so execuse me if I don't give you all the informations.

I've always developed VB 6 Code; now I'm approaching to develop under Studio 2008 and I have some problems to understand the different behaviuor.

For example, I'm trying to develop a simple applications that ask to user a file name to print and after print the contents of it on a printer. A very simple application, as you can see.

I have a form, StpJournIP, that ask the data, and a button to print.

Fine, VS 2008, build a Public Class StpJournIP and inside it puts all the context of the forms (textbox, buttons, ...). My print button name is printbutton.

I've seen on MSDN that to print now you must youse PRINTDOCUMENT.

So I've created this code:

Public Class PrintingExample

Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Private components As System.ComponentModel.Container

Private printbutton As System.Windows.Forms.Button

Private printFont As Font

Private streamToPrint As StreamReader



Private Sub New()

InitializeComponent()

End Sub

Private Sub InitializeComponent()

Me.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container()

Me.printButton = New System.Windows.Forms.Button()

Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(504, 381)

Me.Text = "Print Example"

printButton.ImageAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft

printButton.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(32, 110)

printButton.FlatStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Flat

printButton.TabIndex = 0

printButton.Text = "Print the file."

printButton.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(136, 40)

AddHandler printButton.Click, AddressOf printButton_Click

Me.Controls.Add(printButton)

End Sub

' This is the main entry point for the application.

Public Shared Sub Main()

Application.Run(New PrintingExample())

End Sub





End Class

In the instruction AddHandler, I receive an error:

name printbutton_click not declared.

Because this button is on the form, the relative Sub is on the Class StpJourIP. How to reference it ?

Or I'm doing a very bad work ?

Thanks a lot

Ciao, Gaetano
