on my form in vs2005, i have a PrintPreviewDialog1, PrintDocument1 and
PictureBox1

all i want to do is print the image i have in Picturebox1 through the
PrintPreview control.

does someone have a code snippet that accomplishes this?

thanks!

In the 'PrintDocument' object's 'PrintPage' event you can use
'e.Graphics.DrawImage(Me.PictureBox1.Image, ...)' to draw the image onto the
print document.

George,
Try this and let us know:

Private Sub PrintImage(ByVal sender As Object,_
ByVal ev As PrintPageEventArgs)

ev.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile(<filepath>),_
ev.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds)
' If no more page
ev.HasMorePages = False

End Sub

Then call PrintImage subroutine.

Hope this helps, it'll be useful also for me if it works.
