Hi What you need to do is: Add a PrintDocument control and a PrintDialog control. Then in the PrintPage event write the following code. Call PrintDocument1.Print() when you want to actually begin printing. private void printDocument1_PrintPage( object sender System.Drawing.Printing. PrintPageEventArgs e) { int x=10 y=10; // coordinates where to print Font font= new Font ( Times New Roman  12.0F); //set the font Graphics g = e.Graphics; SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush ( Color .BlueViolet); // print the date time and text g.DrawString(dateTimePicker1.Text font brush new Point (x y)); x += 20; y += 30; g.DrawString(textBox1.Textfont brush new Point (x y)); // retrieve data from the data grid cell by cell BindingSource bs = ( BindingSource ) dataGridView1.DataSource; DataSet ds = ( DataSet )bs.DataSource; DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0]; x += 30; y += 30; int originalx; originalx = x; foreach ( DataRow dr in dt.Rows) { x = originalx; // so that each row starts at the same left coordinates foreach ( DataColumn dc in dt.Columns) { g.DrawString(dr[dc].ToString() font brush new Point (x y)); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand ( select a.precision from sys.all_columns a INNER JOIN sys.tables b ON a.object_id=b.object_id and b.name='Products' and a.name=' + dc.ColumnName+ ' ); SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection (); conn.ConnectionString = Properties. Settings .Default.AdventureWorksConnectionString; cmd.Connection = conn; conn.Open(); int size = Convert .ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar()); if (size != 0) { x += dr[dc].ToString().Length + Convert .ToInt32(size * font.Size); } else x += dr[dc].ToString().Length + dc.MaxLength+10; } y += 25; // for the next column } } Hope this helps. -Mamta
