i have a C# windows application in Visual Studio. I have a form which is opened in a panel.i want to print the data in various controls of the form upon clicking a PRINT button.but i don't want to print the jpg image of the entire form or any of its controls.i want that the text in the controls should be printed.for e.g. i have a label NAME:- and a textbox txtName in front of the label and suppose the user enters the name john in the textbox . iwant that they should be printed as follows:
NAME:- john
the enitre label and text box should not be printed but only the text in them should be printed.....is there any way to do it....is there any alternative way like adding the data in textbox and label to an MS Word document and then printing the document...plz. help...thanx in advance.

Why not just grab the label and textbox text and create a print document to do what you want?

i've got the solution to this problem....the coding is given below:-

using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
 
namespace WindowsApplication1
{
 
    public partial class Form3 : Form
    {
      private System.ComponentModel.Container components;
        private System.Windows.Forms.Button printButton;
         private Font printFont;
          private StreamReader streamToPrint;
        PrintDocument printDocument1 = new PrintDocument();
 
 
        public Form3()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            
          printDocument1.PrintPage += printDocument1_PrintPage;
        }
 
  private void printButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          using (PrintDialog pd = new PrintDialog())
            {
                if (pd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                                    printDocument1.PrinterSettings = pd.PrinterSettings;
                    printDocument1.Print();
                }
 
 
 void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
                       Font objFont=new Font ("Microsoft Sans Serif", 10F);//sets the font type and size
            float fTopMargin = e.MarginBounds.Top;
            float fLeftMargin = 50;//sets left margin
            float fRightMargin = e.MarginBounds.Right - 150;//sets right margin   
string employee_id = String.Concat("EMPLOYEE ID:-  ", comboBox2.Text);//prints EMPLOYEE ID:- and text in combobox2
      string employee_name = String.Concat("EMPLOYEE NAME:-  ", textBox8.Text);
  
e.Graphics.DrawString(employee_id, objFont, Brushes.Black, fLeftMargin, fTopMargin);
            
 fTopMargin += objFont.GetHeight() * 2;//skip two lines
           
 e.Graphics.DrawString(employee_name, objFont, Brushes.Black, fLeftMargin, fTopMargin);
         
 objFont.Dispose();
           
 e.HasMorePages = false;
        }
