Printing from winforms..

[foamy]

I've been looking at various forums and MSDN articles for a while now, but I can't seem to get my head around how to print something from my winforms app...

I have a form with a button called "print" that shows the standard PrintDialog... The problem is that I can't figure out how the PrintDocument thing works... I have a bunch of strings that I want to place in a specific place on the page, but how do I even use this thing?

If someone could give me a quick knock on the head and tell me how this works, I'd be very grateful

Here's a printing snippet I use in some of my code:

In some Print button, do the following:

//Setup and print the document
PrintDocument document = new PrintDocument();
PageSettings pgSettings = new PageSettings();

document.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(this.pd_PrintPage);

document.DefaultPageSettings = pgSettings;
PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
dlg.Document = document;
if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 
{
    document.Print();
}

Then create a print event where you "draw" your print output:

private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
    //Print finished bitmap
    Point point = new Point(0, 30);
    e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(PrintReadyBitmap, point);
}

In my case, im printing a bitmap.
You may also consider using a webbrowser control to construct your document in HTML, and then calling the browsers print methods.
