Printing Gridview in Csharp

This tutorial based on printing bill format from gridview using printpreviewDialog and PrintDocument

1.You need create gridview shown in figure and add values to it.

2.Get output like shown in figure below...




private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument prDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog ppd = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog();
System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog pd = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog();
prDoc.PrintPage += new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(printDocument1_PrintPage);

//Asign PrintDocument to PrintPreviewDialog
ppd.Document = prDoc;
//Show Print Preview
ppd.ShowDialog();
}
catch(Exception ex) { }
}



private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{

try
{
Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 2);
//set the pen's DashStyle to dash - dot
pen.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot;
e.Graphics.DrawLine(pen, new Point(45, 120), new Point(600, 120));
