Printing Controls in C#

Printing Controls

These controls are used to take printing of documents whether in form of print screen or as printing in the content form .
In following figure i tried to describe about these controls how you will use in your window application.
For explaining this i had taken the previous example of dialog control, so lets proceed  with printing controls.


Code for Print Preview- For performing this action first add namespace-

using System.Drawing.Printing;

PrintDocument PrintDoc1 = new PrintDocument(); PrintPreviewDialog PrintPreviewDialog1 = new PrintPreviewDialog(); private void printToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = PrintDoc1; PrintDoc1.OriginAtMargins = true; //To set or Get the Position of a Graphic Object PrintDoc1.PrintPage += PDoc_PrintPage; PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog(); }

Create Method

private void PDoc_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) { Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height); this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, this.ClientRectangle); this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height)); //Takes the Snap of the Exact WindowForm size as Bitmap image e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0); }

Code for taking Print

private void printToolStripMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { PrintDoc1.Print(); }
