Print dataset

How can you print the contents of a dataset?

By looping through the rows and items collection and Response.Writing the values.

There are many ways to print the contents of a dataset, but maybe be more specific and tell us what you are trying to do?

just trying to print the contents of the dataset to a printer.

for now i'm using reporting services to display the data in a report view and give the user several ways to print.

To a printer?

Then what you're doing should be just fine. What is the problem with this current method?

If you need a powerful solution for that, try Crystal Reports or another ASP.NET compatible reporting engine.

www.infragistics.com has some cool stuff too

i will stick the reporting services

BUT

i just dont get why its so hard to do something so simple

I think that is programming in general, because people don't always have time to make things user friendly.
