Print Preview code and Print code

[mayo]

is there anyone there who can help me or suggest the code on how to make a print preview in vb .net?

and then print the document?

we have a project, build using vb .net 2008 express edition and call it 'SYLLABUS GENERATOR.'

overview of the system:
we are the one who patterned the templates that supposed to be a fixed templates like in power point.

all you have to do is to input data and save it.

we used crystal report to get the input data and arranged it according to what a SYLLABUS should look like.

but unfortunately, we don't know how to print preview this data when the user click the 'PRINT PREVIEW' button in our system

and 'PRINT' button..


..we need to finish the system asap..

can somebody help us to finish that matter ..


thanks a lot!!! :]

Use PrintDocument, PrintPreviewControl, PrintDialog Class

check your toolbox,

ok thanks for the info!!

i'll be exploring as soon as i'll have time :]

so it's possible to view the data in vb .net using crystal report object.

uhmm.. how can we integrate the crystal report 2008 in vb .net 2008 express edition?

when we try to 'add item' (form, splash screen, etc) there's no crystal report object in the choices :] thanks
