Printing in Landscape mode vb.net

Anonymous User1068605-Oct-2013

i had manage to print the contents of my datagrid view, but it doesnt fit in portrait mode. i guess printing it in landscape mode will do.

i have this code for my dataset to fill the datagridview.

Private Sub print_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 
    Dim query As String = "SELECT * FROM TBLusers" 
    Dim DA As New SqlDataAdapter(query, CN) 
    Dim DS As New DataSet 
    CN.Open() 
    DA.Fill(DS, "Users") 
    CN.Close() 
    DataGridView1.DataSource = DS.Tables("Users") 
    'DataGridView1.DataMember = "Users" 
End Sub


here is the function for printing i guess? i got it from a tutorial.


Private Sub printDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage 
    Dim dataGridViewImage As New Bitmap(Me.DataGridView1.Width, Me.DataGridView1.Height) 
    DataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(dataGridViewImage, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.DataGridView1.Width, Me.DataGridView1.Height)) 
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(dataGridViewImage, 0, 0) 
End Sub



here is the print preview.



Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click 
    PrintPreviewDialog2.Document = PrintDocument1 
    PrintPreviewDialog2.PrintPreviewControl.Zoom = 1 
    PrintPreviewDialog2.ShowDialog() 
End Sub



and the print...


Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    PrintDocument1.Print()

End Sub

i tried



PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True


but it doesnt seems to work?

Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps on how to print in landscape mode in VB.NET:

  1. Import the System.Drawing namespace.
  2. Get the PageSettings object from the PrintDocument object.
  3. Set the Landscape property of the PageSettings object to True.
  4. Print the document.

Here is an example of how to print in landscape mode in VB.NET:

VB.Net

Imports System.Drawing

Sub Main()
    ' Create a new PrintDocument object.
    Dim printDocument As New PrintDocument()

    ' Get the PageSettings object from the PrintDocument object.
    Dim pageSettings As PageSettings = printDocument.PageSettings

    ' Set the Landscape property of the PageSettings object to True.
    pageSettings.Landscape = True

    ' Print the document.
    printDocument.Print()
End Sub

This code will create a new PrintDocument object and set the PageSettings object to landscape mode. The code will then print the document.

Here is an explanation of the code:

  • The PrintDocument class represents a PrintDocument object.
  • The PageSettings class represents the page settings for a PrintDocument object.
  • The Landscape property of the PageSettings class specifies whether the document should be printed in landscape mode.
  • The Print method of the PrintDocument class prints the document.

You're setting the DefaultPage setting for the printer. Try to set it for the document


itself:



PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True

PrintDocument1.Print()
