How to print bill (invoice) from C#

Question

Normal 0 Hello I need to print invoice (bill) and on the top of bill is some data (time date name bill number etc.) below is content of datagridview and below is again some data. I don't know should I print this as CrystalReport or as bitmap. If I print as bitmap then I have problem because datagridview can have one row but sometimes can have more then one lines. Any halp-suggestion how to print bill in C#.NET. Thanks & Regards

Well I believe the standard way of doing this is to use a template document file (for example a DOTX) which would contain a required layout formatting styling etc. and also contain some placeholders. For example you would put these placeholders in the documents header (data time name etc.) and inside some table (with columns like product name quantity price etc.) and then you would import the required data into these placeholders when you need to generate a new invoice. One way that I used to achieve this is with a C# component for a word document manipulation . You can find on the following link a sample of this nice feature a mail merge aka a .NET data import with C# code . Also after executing a mail merge you can easily send it to a printer you can find on the following link a sample how to print that generated word document with C# .
