Have you tried anything? are you stuck in any specific issue? we won't give you the code for any of those two things, it is not our way to do things here and moreover your question is too general...

You can check these[^] for help in general printing, and there are plenty of PDF print drivers available. You can also investigate using one of the free libraries such as iTextSharp[^] for creating PDF direct.

Hello,

You can do that in C# using the Visual Basic Power Packs.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio//bb735936.aspx[^]

The Visual Basic Power pack will add a new group in your toolbox, just drag a PrintForm control on your form.

To print is is very easy :

printForm1.Print(this, PrintForm.PrintOption.ClientAreaOnly);

If you want to show the print preview window just add that line before:

printForm1.PrintAction = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview;
