Hi,

I am trying to use the ideas presented by Mahesh on printing a text file to printout a List in c#.

I can only use this method and avoid printing through MS Word using Interop if I can print some titles in Bold.

Is that possible?

Here is what I am trying to do:

The iSeries will output a file like this below in textfile format and my c# application or service will pick up the file from the Drop folder then print out a statement of account:

The first line is tab separated information about the account hodler, then each subsequent line is either an Account designation or a transaction line depending on whether it starts with 01 or 02. All the fields of data are tab demited.

I need to print it formatted with this:

Account List 16.59 27Feb13

****69 Steve Suttill

Account Type Balance:

******10 Business Current Account GBP 1,979,188.00

27FEB13 Debit Card Transaction 700.00-

24FEB13 Cheque Cashed 120.00-

23FEB13 Standing Order 40.00-

Account Type Balance:

******71 Personal Current Account GBP 2,750.00

27FEB13 Cheque Cashed 730.00-

26FEB13 Debit Card Transaction 450.00-

25FEB13 Standing Order 150.00-

so the Account data is identified in the source file as starting with a 01 and the transaction lines are identified in the original data file as starting with a 02

The first line is always the Customer data.

I have a solution which works pretty well using MS Word tables and Interop, but if possible I'd like to build a a much simpler, more robust solution using simple text file printing in memory.

thanks,

Philip
