Can i give print option to print webform data in asp.net

Question

I have a webform on which i display all the details of a particular record now i want to give my client print functionality so he can print those detail. Can this be done in asp.net and if yes then how?

Answer 1

You can use css to specify stylesheets to use for printing. There's not really anything asp.net specific about it - it's handled by the browser.

Answer 2

Based on what I understood, you want to print part of the page, right? One option is to use a pop up a new page with content to be printed passed from the current page and let the user print it from the pop up page.

Please refer the following demo:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

Print Demo

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function doPrint() { bdhtml=window.document.body.innerHTML; sprnstr=""; eprnstr=""; prnhtml=bdhtml.substr(bdhtml.indexOf(sprnstr)+17); prnhtml=prnhtml.substring(0,prnhtml.indexOf(eprnstr)); window.document.body.innerHTML=prnhtml; window.print(); }

This area will not print! This area will print!

Hope it helps...Thanks.
