How to print in VB?
I have a web application build using classic ASP and VB. How do I print a document from within the back end VB code?
Protected Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
End Sub
What i am trying to do is get user to click on button a letter is generated and sent t开发者_如何学运维o printer?
You could use the window.print javascript function which will open the print dialogon the client browser allowing him to choose the printer and print the page:
Protected Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript([GetType](), "print", "window.print();", true)
End Sub
As a side note, what you have is not a classic ASP application with VB, you have a classic ASP.NET WebForms application using VB.NET as a code behind.
UPDATE:
As requested in the comments section here's how you could write a generic handler which will dynamically generate the HTML you would like to print:
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Public Class Print
Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler
Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/html"
context.Response.Write("<html><body onload=""window.print();""><table><tr><td>value1</td><td>value1</td></tr></table></body></html>")
End Sub
ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements IHttpHandler.IsReusable
Get
Return False
End Get
End Property
End Class
Now simply navigate to /Print.ashx.
you could look into some reports frameworks like CrystalReports (used to come with VS but you have to download it from SAP nowadays.
Here is a nice tutorial for the report-engine that comes packed into Visual Studio (I have to admit I don't have much experience with this but it looks fine to me): Creating an ASP.NET Report
