I need to print a panel(with many subpanel like tablepanellayout) in windows form.
I have seen many solutions such as draw as bitmap with capture screen - that give me correct form but my text and image is very blurred or draw by access all controls in that panels and draw by string or bitmap , it okays but I think it must have better solution.
Thx for read my problem and very thx for giving me a nice solution.
if you dont like the approach of bitmap image. what can be done is use of reportviewer and design the content you want to print. and Pass on the Data to the report viewer. there you can have the flexibity to print as well as export to other formats.
A Sample can be found in the following link to get started.

I've got this problem:
I created a pretty large Canvas in WPF with a lot children.
I want to add a Print Button. PrintVisual seems not to work, because the image is to big. (I am using a scrollbar) I want to split the Canvas between multiple pages.
What i've done so far:
I am taking a Visual Brush for every part of the Canvas
Create a new Canvas and make the visual brush its background
Adding the new Canvas to a page, add the page to a FixedDocument.
Well, now i've got a FixedDocument and going to print it via printDocument.
The Problem is, that the whole process of printing takes a lot of time and sometimes it doesn't work at all. It's like there is a preprocessing step to convert the fixed document into a bitmap.
My Question: Is a Visualbrush in a Canvas to big? Should i convert the Canvas first into a bitmap?
I've found this great article: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/339416/Printing-large-WPF-UserControls.
Whatever.
Is it a good way to convert a huge canvas into a bitmap first and then print parts of the bitmap? I could very well imagine, that one could get problems with blurring effects this way.
I've got also no idea how to add a bitmap to a page in wpf.
The worst thing is, that i couldn't found some really good sorces or a standardway (and i think there has to be one, cause this should be a pretty standard problem) for printing dynamic produced canvas in wpf.
I am really greatful for every really good source, help or code.
Thank you for your time.
I have Panel on windows form containing labels for displaying information and 2 PictureBox controls. One for Company logo & other for captured photo. When i print them either on Printer or just save in PDF format, both images looking very blur. I want to improve quality of images. So they will appear clear even after zoom.
Any suggestion.
You can set this property of the Graphics object.
// g is type of Graphics.
g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.High;
I don't know which technique you are using for printing but if you are using print form it is not good for decent picture or text. Therefore when you send form/PictureBox to the print object it would lose quality.The Solution is to use PrintDocument.
Share your code for more help.
Your printer has better resolution than your monitor. That bitmap won't work. You will have to recreate the print items directly on the e.Graphics of the PrintPageEventArgs.
Other work around is the technique that guy explain in his article.

I'm using Ribbon from RibbonControlsLibrary.dll 4.0.0.11019, .NET 4.0, C#, WPF.
It can be downloaded with a free samples here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11877
The problem comes when a RibbonToggleButton is displayed. Then it's image seems to be a little bit broken, like a part of image is shifted for a few pixels.
EDIT: Thanks to kind people I can post and image now:
Here are some details:
Image is displayed in it's large variant
Image size is 32x32
I set image scaling to none for all the images of Ribbon
Image is broken only when the text in RibbonToggleButton has 1 line
Same image displays correctly in any other kind of button (RibbonButton, RibbonSplitButton etc.)
The image is displayed correctly when I set the font size in Windows to Medium (125%)
My OS is Windows 8
When I set the VerticalContentAlignment for the toggle button to "Bottom", the Image starts to display correctly, but the whole Ribbon starts to look ugly.
I experience this problem for all the toggle buttons, including those which are in a Microsoft's free samples.
I guess that probably the Image doesn't have enough space, so it's compressed from 32x32 to some smaller size.
I use the theme that is made of Microsoft's Generic theme, that is included in the RibbonControlsLibrary.dll. I guess I could fix the RibbonToggleButton template somehow, but I have no idea what to fix there.
Any ideas?
In the xaml declaration of your UserControl / Window put that line:
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"
I'm new to this concept but I'm sure there should be solution to it. I'm storing a design (a series of lines and shapes) as XML, also can save/load the drawing into/from XML file.
Now, new idea is:
1) How to show a thumbnail of the drawing such could be placed on a toolbar or panel (as toolbox)
2) By dragging/dropping of this thumbnail on a canvas it will open and show the drawing.
You should know more about "ViewBox" that is made for thumbnail things and it has many other usages. You can give it any WPF contents and it will do the thumbnail thing by some specific options.

I have c# winform application.
I want to print all form objects, labels,textboxes etc..
Capture screen is not the solution for me because my form has scroll.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

This just doesn't work. It is pretty inappropriate anyway, the resolution of the printer is much better than the resolution of your screen. The screenshot looks very ugly on paper, especially text gets blobby with the anti-aliasing pixels becoming painfully obvious.
Bite the bullet and drop the PrintDocument component on the form. You typically need to write a fair amount of code in the PrintPage event handler. But it isn't hard code and it will look great and you can make it look just the way you want it. Be sure to make it look like a report, not a screenshot. Use PrintPreviewDialog to avoid wasting a lot of paper. Report generators like RDLC and Crystal Reports are common solutions as well.
try this it will make a bitmap of your form `
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(this.Bounds.Width, this.Bounds.Height);
this.DrawToBitmap(b, new Rectangle(0,0,this.Width,this.Height));
b.Save("C:\\a.bmp");`
by this image you can print also rather than saving it...
