Printing a .NET DataGridView

Question

I am fairly new to .NET and C#, but I have a DataGridView that I would like to print. What would be the best way to go about doing so?

Answer 1

Add a DataGridView, a PrintDocuemnt, and a Button then:

button click events {
    printDocument1.Print();
}

printDocument1_PrintPage events {
    Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(this.dataGridView1.Width, this.dataGridView1.Height);
    this.dataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(bm, new Rectangle(0, 0, this.dataGridView1.Width, this.dataGridView1.Height));
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);
}

That's all your data printing.

Answer 2

There are projects on CodeProject that have done some work printing DataGridViews.
