Printing in VB - Introduction

James Crowley

Introduction

Despite claims that computers would create a 'paperless society', printing is still one of the most important functions of an application, and one of the most common. Although VB makes it easy to print, it is not one of VB strengths - this tutorial will introduce you to the functions VB does provide for printing.

James first started writing tutorials on Visual Basic in 1999 whilst starting this website (then known as VB Web). Since then, the site has grown rapidly, and James has written numerous tutorials, articles and reviews on VB, PHP, ASP and C#. In October 2003, James formed the company Developer Fusion Ltd, which owns this website, and also offers various development services. In his spare time, he's a 3rd year undergraduate studying Computer Science in the UK. He's also a Visual Basic MVP.
