Visual Basic Net, Printing Form

[Richard Friedman]

I am creating a report by dynamically adding populated datagridview's of various lengths to a Form.

I would like to print the output and fit it to 8-1/2 X 11 pages

Among the challenges is detecting when a datagridview is going to be split between two pages and either deciding to start a new page at the beginning of the datagridview or letting it run on.

Is there a way that I should be placing and sizing the datagridview's on my form to accommodate fitting to a page width?

Then of course I need to know how to use the;
printDocument1 As New PrintDocument
appropriately

Thanks in advance
Richard

Thank you for the code samples.
Unfortunately I have a form with many datagridviews' and other objects such as labels and charts that scroll down the length of the form.

I am trying to find a way to parse the form into standard pages and pr

There is no magic way to do that. It's up to you to determine the logic, which will be specific to each scenario, and then write code to implement it. As always, think about how you would do it manually first to get the general logic, then formalise it into an algorithm and then write code to implement that algorithm. You may not be able to use .paul.'s code as is if you're printing more than just a DataGridView but you can still use the relevant parts of the code in your own.
