Hi,

I'm using a 64 Bit Windows 7 system and trying to use PrintDialog. I know it doesn't work on Windows 7 unless you add this code:

PrintDialog1.UseEXDialog = True

So I have added that code but then I get this error for the following code:

VB

Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog()

And the error:

"An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: External component has thrown an exception."

Could you please help me fix this issue
Thanks

There seems to be a bug in .net running on win7 64 bit. I found some complaints and responses from microsoft here. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/94524/printdialog-useexdialog-causes-unresponsive-ui-when-invoked-from-toolstrip-button
I've also heard that problems with the PrintDialog have been fixed in .Net 4.0 - maybe you can check using famework 4

I am also using a Windows7 64 Bit PC
It works fine with me. What are you trying to print in your application? Textbox/RichTextbox etc
