How to print when the user clicks a button in ASP.Net application. Is it
possible to call print dialog so that the user can printer properties before
printing? My development environment is .Net 1.1.
Thanks for your answers.

Dear John,

You can use the window.print method.

<input type="button" value="Print this page" onClick="window.print()">

This would do.

Hope it helps.
 
Thanks for your answer.
However I want to print only the grid data and data from textbox.

Have you find your answer?

I have done it by opening new window with only grid inside, then
use window.print command and window.close command in window_onload event..

That is one way but I would like to know, is there any simplier way?

Thank you,
Simon

Different yes, simpler I don't know:
you can use a stylesheet with a special section specifically for printing.
There you can switch off the display of the unwanted parts of the page.
I think it had something to do with @media print { }

Hi Simon,

I just answered your other post, it's very simple in fact. Just drop me a
line if you still have problem

You know what, I better post the code once and for all :)

in the "parent page"

<DIV id="panel1" name="panel1">
... content to be printed
</div>
<input type="button" onclick="OpenPrinter()">

<script>
function OpenPrinter(){
//Open a new windows with out any decoration just
var wi = open("Statsprint.aspx","printrecord",
"width=760,height=600,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolb
ar=no");
}
</script>


in the new window:

<script>
function FillPage()
{
var div = document.all["CONTENT"];
var origdiv = window.opener.document.all["Panel1"];

div.innerHTML = origdiv.innerHTML;

print();
close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" onload="FillPage();">
<form id="Statsprint" method="post" runat="server">
<span id="CONTENT">
</span>
</form>
</body>


If you still have doubt just drop me a line,
