Printing: Preview and Print from Your Windows Forms App with the .NET Printing Namespace

Posted: Jan/14/2003 By: pankaj Points:15 Category: .NET - .NET Framework Views:78 Vote Up (0) Vote Down (0)

Printing is an integral part of every complete Windows-based application. Providing robust printing capabilities in these applications has often proved to be a tedious chore. Now, printing from Windows Forms with the .NET Framework means you must adopt a document-centric approach, resulting in cleaner and more manageable code. While the System.Windows.Forms namespace provides seamless integration with all the standard print dialogs (such as Print Preview, Page Setup, and Print), the System.Drawing.Printing namespace offers numerous classes for extensibility and customization. These classes, and how they provide access to printing capabilities, are covered here. Other useful techniques, such as printing in the background to allow the user to continue other tasks, is also explained.Alex CalvoMSDN Magazine February 2003
