Windows Form Printing

websoftconsultants.co.uk — Windows forms are quick and easy to create in any .NET language. By choosing the right project template, a developer can be dragging controls onto a Windows form, and have a professional looking user interface constructed in a matter of minutes. Printing the form, however, is a different matter. The programmer can leave the user to press Print Screen, and then paste the results into MS Paint, or a similar application. However, this is messy, and un-professional. Consider the case where the form contains multiple tabs, or where data in a list box cannot all be displayed at once. Using this approach, the user will be involved with clicking controls, an capturing screen prints for quite a while. Alternatively, the .NET development environment provides several controls to "help" with printing. Using these controls, the developer may listen for events, and respond by rendering output using GDI+. This approach can result in very professional output, but the drawback is the amount of time it takes to develop printing support on a form-by-form basis. When compared to the ease of dragging controls onto the form for the initial user interface, it appears cumbersome, costly, time consuming, and can be prone to bugs. read more...
