Why did MS remove the easy way to print in VB2010. As a programmer, developing programs that used to print directly to the printer in VB 6, I find the new "funtionality" of printing with VB 2010 is a PITA. I used to be able to define my printout and code the information and then print the variables where I need to on the page.

When I print the output to a PDF file using PDFCreator, it stacks all of the letters onto each other rather than creating new lines at the places I've specified. I've also tried using vbNewLine instead of vbCrLf, but I haven't had any luck. I searched the web for this but couldn't find anything about it.
print pdf documents from a vb 2010 app. I have tried 2 techniques that work, but both have some minor issues that I'd like to address. The 1st technique uses command line arguments as follows:
Dim starterStr As String = "/h /t " & Chr(34) & pdfFileName & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & printerName & Chr(34)
Dim starter As New ProcessStartInfo("AcroRd32.exe", starterStr)
Dim print As New Process()
With print

The 2nd technique is more aesthetically pleasing to me, but has the same annoying problem of leaving the Acrobat process running after execution. It also doesn't allow me to set the output printer destination (the above code sends the output to the default printer).
1. how to close the Acrobat process
2. how to set an output printer destination using StartInfo arguments
i am trying to print a pdf file.. i have acrobat reader in my pc and i have managed to open the pdf file inside the form i created in VB. When i issue the print command, the print dialog box of acrobat appears.If i input 1-4 in page range of dialog box, it doesn't print pages 1-4. I thnk the information i input at the print dialog box is not forwarded to the printer.
I am doing this because im making a project which can print documents as well as accepting payment thru the coin slot.
I've got problems while printing a document.I've got a program that have a small form with options for printing two diferent pages.Here's the There is a Button for printing named Imprimir and two checkboxes for selecting what king of display I want to send to printer.At first time, there are no problems, the printer prints what I want, the form closes and it seems all is allright. The problem is when I try to print again, even the same layout, I call the print form again and I get the error in the picture...Why the same routine executes without problem at first instance and gives this error at second instant?
View 8 RepliesI have been researching for 2 weeks on how to do this, but no luck. My code opens an IE window and enters information in a website which causes a popup window to open. I need to save/print this popup window as a pdf and be able to code the filepath. I really need it to print silently without user input because of the volume I need. I assure you this is not for anything malicious, I am actually using it to make sure the firm I work for does not open a suit on any person in active military.
I use the following code to select the popup window as it is the 2nd open window

Attached is an excel file which I want you to have a look at. Usually the staff fills in this form manually in 2 copies everyday and this is becoming very tedious. So what I was thinking is to design a form with labels (which represent the columns on the excel sheet) and text boxes. Let's say for each 5 records they capture, they can take out a printout on A3 paper like the same format in the excel sheet. I know we can do that directly on the excel sheet but the thing is all the data captured will be used in another application I have developed.

I'm trying to print from VB Express but it seems to be so difficult. I tried the printform component only to see the end result being blurred. I have data in one table (which will be used as the header) and data in another table (the body) which I need to print out. Seeing that the express edition does not have any reporting capabilities, I turned to several other open-source projects providing "free" reporting tools, such as MyNeoReport. MyNeoReport is acclaimed to be so good but the developer lacks a detailed tutorial for it. And the tutorial's I did manage to find are all in C#. Not helping.
How do I go about printing the data? The design is simple. Extract the company information from table A to display as the header, extract the body from table B to display as the results. I also need to calculate the totals of the body and add it to the footer or bottom of the report body. I can't seem to find any relating forums or questions similar to mine on any forum. Currently on the form, I've got a few labels, textboxes and a listview. I know I need to load the filtered data into a data grid at some point.
Is it possible to give me a detailed example of how to do this? I'm really frustrated with this whole printing thing. I don't have the finances to buy these other reporting products and the one's claimed to be free all comes with a price-tag in the small print.

I am working on a printing kiosk and it should handle PDF.When printing PDF I need to get the number of pages the PDF has, so that I can charge the user accordingly.The kiosk will support Word*, PowerPoint*, and Excel* (2010) and I print these files to PDF by Microsoft.Office.Iterop.* namespace.And then print the resulting PDF file to a physical printer. If the file is already a PDF then just print. What would be the best way to get the number of pages the PDF has. Also Printing via code and setting parameters such as paper_size.

I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.
I am primarily a web developer, mostly working with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript. I was recently contacted by a local Sheriff's Office (small town word of mouth, nerds are always needed) to digitize a 4 page monstrosity of a form... because nobody could read the handwriting of the deputies.The catch here is that this is a small town department and, while they are fancy enough to carry computers in the field, they are not connected to the Internet. Visual Basic was the first solution that came to mind and I have been scrambling to learn the basics. I am confident in my ability to organize the content of the form and perform any necessary validation but I am unsure where to begin in terms of storing each report locally (database) and printing the end result.
Another matter that makes things complicated is the fact that they want the end result to look exactly the same as the original form, only typed instead of hand written.So, to sum things up, here are the questions I have:there seem to be several options for databases in VB 2010 Express. What is the best option for LOCAL storage of records?It looks as though the best way to format the form the exact way they want it to look with populated data would be to create a form within the application with just this content on it. Is this the best solution or might there be a better way - possibly outputting to another file? And if the data is put on another form, how would I go about printing it?

View 2 RepliesI basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?
View 2 RepliesBasically, I am looking for a method on how to preview reports from a datagrid or it can be from the access database which populates the data to the datagrid (then displays this in the datagridview) in vb.net vs 2010.I believe there are two methods using the ReportViewer or using Crystal Reports, but so far, I have no idea how to get them to work. The first idea would be favourable - using the data from a datagridview (which may of already been sorted, filter etc) and be able to produce a report on that.
