i had manage to print the contents of my datagrid view, but it doesnt fit in portrait mode. i guess printing it in landscape mode will do.
i have this code for my dataset to fill the datagridview.
Private Sub print_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim query As String = "SELECT * FROM TBLusers"
Dim DA As New SqlDataAdapter(query, CN)
Dim DS As New DataSet
CN.Open()
DA.Fill(DS, "Users")
CN.Close()
DataGridView1.DataSource = DS.Tables("Users")
'DataGridView1.DataMember = "Users"
End Sub
here is the function for printing i guess? i got it from a tutorial.
Private Sub printDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim dataGridViewImage As New Bitmap(Me.DataGridView1.Width, Me.DataGridView1.Height)
DataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(dataGridViewImage, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.DataGridView1.Width, Me.DataGridView1.Height))
e.Graphics.DrawImage(dataGridViewImage, 0, 0)
End Sub
here is the print preview.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
PrintPreviewDialog2.Document = PrintDocument1
PrintPreviewDialog2.PrintPreviewControl.Zoom = 1
PrintPreviewDialog2.ShowDialog()
End Sub
and the print...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
PrintDocument1.Print()
End Sub
i tried
PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
but it doesnt seems to work?
Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps on how to print in landscape mode in VB.NET:
System.Drawingnamespace.PrintDocumentobject.Landscapeproperty of the PageSettings object toTrue.Here is an example of how to print in landscape mode in VB.NET:
VB.Net
This code will create a new PrintDocument object and set the PageSettings object to landscape mode. The code will then print the document.
Here is an explanation of the code:
PrintDocumentclass represents a PrintDocument object.PageSettingsclass represents the page settings for a PrintDocument object.Landscapeproperty of thePageSettingsclass specifies whether the document should be printed in landscape mode.Printmethod of thePrintDocumentclass prints the document.You're setting the DefaultPage setting for the printer. Try to set it for the document
