How to Print in Vb.Net
- 1). Open VB.net. Select "File" from the top menu, then "New" to create a new document. If you already have a document that you are working on, select "File" then "Open" and navigate to the current project.
- 2). Select "Printing" from the left side of the screen. This will open up the printing options. Select "Print Document" and drag this component to the top of your document.
- 3). Type the following code into the Print Document component:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies = 1
PrintDocument1.Print()
End Sub
You may change the number of copies if you wish, but everything else should stay the same. - 4). Select "Print PreviewDialog" from the "Printing" menu on the left side of the program to add a print preview function. Drag this component under the print document section and insert the following code:
Private Sub btnPrintPreview_Click(ByVal sender As _
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles _
btnPrintPreview.Click
dlgPrintPreview.Document = PreparePrintDocument()
dlgPrintPreview.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
dlgPrintPreview.ShowDialog()
End Sub
This will attach the print preview to the print document component so that it displays the correct information. - 5). Select "File" from the top menu, then "Save" to save the document. The document is now ready to be printed.
