Print form without BMP conversion

[wadewilson1]

Is there a way to print a form in VB.Net without converting it to a bitmap? The code that prints as a bitmap, works, but the printed document is blurry and not very professional looking. I need to be able to print a form that will be handed in to the human resources department.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

If it's only a one time thing....how about a screen shot while the app is running?

The printscreen/screen shot option still converts the form into a bitmap to print.

Consider using Snagit - it can capture and save almost anything to many different format types and the current version can even be automated - it's got a COM server component (

I guess the best solution is a reportensign and create a report something like Crystal reports will do. so no pain, no gain.

Maybe the doc is blurry because it is rendering a low-quality graphics object. Try adjusting this.

Thanks for all your help everyone. I ended up using Crystal for this piece, but I think I'll try adjusting the image quality for some of the more intensive reports.
