C# DataGridView Printing

Add PrintDocument object to the project and handle the PrintPage event which is called every time a new page is to be printed. Here in the PrintPage event we create a Bitmap Object and draw the DataGridView to the Bitmap Object. In order to run this C# project you have to drag two buttons ,one for load data and one for print command, and drag a PrintDocument control on your form . The following picture shows how to drag PrintDocument Object to your project.

<?php
using System;

using System.Data;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

using System.Drawing;



namespace WindowsFormsApplication1

{

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }



        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            string connectionString = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=True";

            string sql = "SELECT * FROM NAME";

            SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);

            SqlDataAdapter dataadapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, connection);

            DataSet ds = new DataSet();

            connection.Open();

            dataadapter.Fill(ds, "NAME");

            connection.Close();

            dataGridView1.DataSource = ds;

            dataGridView1.DataMember = "NAME";



        }



        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            printDocumentS.Print();

        }



        private void printDocumentS_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)

        {

            Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(this.dataGridView1.Width, this.dataGridView1.Height);

            dataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(bm, new Rectangle(0, 0, this.dataGridView1.Width, this.dataGridView1.Height));

            e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);

        }

 

    }

}
