I need Help with printing.
In the DO loop the text lowers itself each increment.
it is supposedly simple though I have no clue as how to do so.
thanks,
Shmuel
[Code]
private void PrintReport()
{
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
PrintDialog pDialog = new PrintDialog();
pDialog.Document = pd;
PrintPreviewDialog prevDialog = new PrintPreviewDialog();
prevDialog.Document = pd;
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(Inven_Report);
prevDialog.ShowDialog();
if (pDialog.ShowDialog()== DialogResult.OK)
{ pd.Print();}
}
private void Inven_Report(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
int i = 0;
Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 10);
try
{
do
{
g.DrawString( "Sample Output", myFont, Brushes.Black, 10, 10);
i++;
} while (i < 10);
myFont.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
}
[/Code]

What does Courier New look like instead of Arial? Same problem?
Most (truetype) Fonts are malicious this way, adding offsets is one way to deal with them. Fixed size fonts (I think that's what they're called) like Courier New may help, I can't remember offhand.
I'd use Google to search for solutions... 
EDIT: You didn't post this in Techoff forum?

Why do you think the text lowers itselfs when the DrawString uses the same co-ordinates every time?
g.DrawString("Sample Output", myFont, Brushes.Black, 10, 10);
Surely you should be incrementing the final parameter, which is the y co-ordinate?

I've never done anything stupid in my life; Shmuel.
Never, ever.

Replace the do loop with the following. Should work for any font etc. somespacer should be what ever value seems to work for you. There is ways to get the spacing from the font, I will leave that up to you. All this can easily be found looking at the Graphics class.......
int offsetY = 10;
do
{
string text = "Sample Output";
g.DrawString(text, myFont, Brushes.Black, 10, offsetY);
SizeF s = g.MeasureString(text, myFont);
offsetY += (int)s.Height + somespacer;
i++;
} while (i < 10);
