How hard have you searched already? A simple websearch on 'Print job
from windows Forms Visual Basic' returned
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...he(VS.80).aspx as the
second link.

Thank you Tim, I have copied the code from your source but have only one
problem. 2 Errors both- Type 'StreamReader' is not defined.
What am I missing?

StreamReader is short for System.IO.Strea mReader... Or you could Imports
System.IO...

Re: Print job from windows Forms

Tim your just great, I have managed to capture the form as a bitmap and
print it using the Print Dialog. Thanks for the help. Any ideas how I can
save the same bitmap image preferably as a Pdf file and save it to a file
folder on my c: drive. here is my code:
Dim memoryImage As Bitmap

Private Sub CaptureScreen()

Dim myGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphi cs()

Dim s As Size = Me.Size

memoryImage = New Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, myGraphics)

Dim memoryGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(memoryImage )

memoryGraphics. CopyFromScreen( Me.Location.X, Me.Location.Y, 0, 0, s)

End Sub

Private Sub printDocument1_ PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.Drawing. Printing.PrintP ageEventArgs) Handles _

PrintDocument1. PrintPage

e.Graphics.Draw Image(memoryIma ge, 0, 0)

End Sub

Public Shared Sub Main()

Application.Run (New FrmInvoice1())

End Sub

Private Sub BtnPrint_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles BtnPrint.Click

CaptureScreen()

Dim PrintDialog1 As New PrintDialog()

PrintDialog1.Do cument = PrintDocument1

Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.Sh owDialog()

If (result = DialogResult.OK ) Then

PrintDocument1. Print()

End If

End Sub

folder on my c: drive. here is my code:

- Saving as an image file is easy: Simply use the Save method on the Bitmap

- Install a PDF printer, and select that printer with your printdocument

- Use a library like iTextSharp <url:http://itextsharp.sour ceforge.net/>
and copy the image into the document...
