Hi,

Assuming this is a Windows Form, take a screenshot of the form
(Alt+PrintScreen), and then paste it into any Image editor application
(even MS PaintBrush). Then save or print it out.

HTH,

Sorry I didn't clearly explain the question.

How can I print a WinForms by using C# code.

I am looking to have a button in my form and after pressing the button, the
form and it's data get printed. The form might contain scrollable ritch text
boxes.

Thank you,
Max
 
Hi Max,

Thanks for your feedback.

To programmatically capture a screen shoot of the form, we can p/invoke
Win32 BitBlt API. Please refer to "How do I capture a bitmap of a form?"
topic from the link below:

Below is a VB.net sample:

Hope this helps!
