If you want to do custom printing, then you need to do some research into the PrintDocument Class (MSDN)[^]. On the link I have provided is a good example of printing in .Net.

Hope this helps

I Gone through the Print Class,but it is not what i require.
I think you suggested, to print Data Exists in Text File.

But what i need is to print Data Exists in DataGridView & Data in Textboxes Outside the DataGrid.

Thanks For Reply!

Solution 2

Using PrintForm component in Visual Basic Power Packs

The PrintForm component is designed to bring back the ability to easily print a Windows Form. This makes it possible to layout the Windows Form exactly as you want and also allows you to print the form as a quick report.

Microsoft Visual Basic Power Packs 3.0 Download

[^]

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
    Handles Button1.Click
    PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable)
End Sub

May this can fulfill your requirement
