Hi,

I want to print the data in a panel control in C# windows application.
I'm using the following code to get the printing area:

Bitmap MemoryImage;
       public void GetPrintArea(Panel pnl)
       {
           MemoryImage = new Bitmap(pnl.Width, pnl.Height);
           Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, pnl.Width, pnl.Height);
           //MemoryImage.SetResolution(100f, 100f);
           pnl.DrawToBitmap(MemoryImage, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnl.Width, pnl.Height));

       }

       void printDoc1_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
       {
           Rectangle pagearea = e.PageBounds;
           e.Graphics.DrawImage(MemoryImage, 0, 0);
           //MemoryImage.SetResolution(200f, 200f);
       }

But when printing, the quality of document is very poor, labels and images are not clear on print. How can I get the clear print?

Thank you.

add this namespace

using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.IO;

class label variable

XML

System.Drawing.Bitmap memoryimage;


write this code printbutton_click event

PrintDialog myprintdialog = new PrintDialog();
                memoryimage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(panelprint.Width, panelprint.Height);
                panelprint.DrawToBitmap(memoryimage, panelprint.ClientRectangle);
                if (myprintdialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                {
                    System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings value;
                    value = myprintdialog.PrinterSettings;
                    myprintdialog.Document = printDocument1;
                    printDocument1.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();
                    panelprint.BackColor = Color.White;
                    printDocument1.Print();
}


<pre lang="cs">private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
       {
           e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryimage, -2, 30);
       }</pre>
