Hello,

I am desigining a web application,in which i have a PRINT button.When I press that button,I am retrieving values from database. But I dont know how to send these values to print.
I have found that PrintDialog will work for window application but not for web application and window.print() is priting entire page.

I have to print only perticular values in an order , for example , Printing a Demand Draft(or Bankers Check).

Need help.

Thanks.

Solution 1

you can do print job with css and javascript.
window.print() is a javascript function which printing an area.
you can determine your area with css

firstly define your css classes at page

CSS

<style type="text/css" media="print">
    .printThis {display: block;}
    .noPrint {display: none;}
</style>

use noPrint css class for which html area you dont want to print
and use printThis css class which html tag you want to print

Hi Dain, need one more help. I am able to print the values but image present in master page is also getting printed. I want only values present in the content page. is there a way for that..???

ok look that
<table class='printThis'><tr><td>This will print</td></tr>
<tr><td class='noPrint'><img src='' />this wont print</td></tr>
</table>
i hope this will help. if not enough please share your pages html code.

Sorry Dain,I dint get what you are tyring to explain.This is my code--->

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/XDFE.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="PrintDD.aspx.vb" Inherits="PrintDD" title="Untitled Page" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">

<style type="text/css" media="print">
.printThis {display: block;}
.noPrint {display: none;}
.style1
{
width: 494px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function printpage()
{
window.print()
}
</script>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<div class ="printThis" style ="width :500px; height :220px ; border :thin groove black">

<table style="width: 499px; height: 220px">
<tr><td class="style1"><asp:Label ID ="lblHeader" runat ="server" Text="DemandDraft" ></td></tr>
<tr><td align ="right" class="style1"><asp:Label ID="lblDate" runat ="server" style="position :relative "></td></tr>
<tr><td align ="left" class="style1"><asp:Label ID="lblFav" runat ="server" style="position :relative "></td></tr>
<tr><td align ="left" class="style1"><asp:Label ID="lblPaybrn" runat ="server" style="position :relative "></td></tr>
<tr><td align ="right" class="style1"><asp:Label ID="lblAmount" runat ="server" style="position :relative "></td></tr>
<tr><td align ="center" class="style1"><asp:Label ID="lblprefix" runat ="server" style="position :relative "></td></tr>

</table>
</div>
<table >
<tr><td align ="center" ><asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat ="server" Text="PrintDD" OnClientClick="printpage()" /></td></tr>
<tr><td align ="center" ><asp:Button ID="btnBak" runat ="server" Text="Back" /></td></tr>

</table>

This is the page i am printing. That <div> is printing properly. But with that, masterpage image is also printing. I want only content page to be printed.

first check master page example

<table style="position:relative; width:100%;">
<tr>
<td align="left" class='noPrint'>
<tag:menu ID="menu1" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div style="position:relative; width:100%;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cph1" runat="server">

</div>
<div style="position:fixed; right:5px; bottom:0;" class='noPrint'>
<tag:uyari ID="uyari1" runat="server" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

i dont want to print them my footer and menu area. i put there noPrint classes.

you must to think your page and your masterpage are together.

yw. i hope you solved your problem.

Hi Dain, actually, I am having a problem. When I am using noPrint class, the elements inside that class are not at all gettin displyed. But I want those elements to be displyed to the user but when giving Print those elements should not come. I tried like what you have said above. But this problem is coming.

Dain Ucak 14-May-12 2:57am

hi KNK. you checked this in your css code block. <style type="text/css" media="print">
use for print special css block. if you didnt set your printThis and noPrint css class in this css code block it will effect all the style of html. but you need want to effect this only when user want to print. if you didnt understand me clearly pls send me your master page and content page html codes. i will help you more.
