grid view printing with table in asp.net

Solution 1

Create a Data Adapter, create a Command Object with a Select query, set the adapter's command to this command object, issue an adapter.fill(dataset), set the data source of gridview as the dataset and databind the GridView.

For code, a simple Google search will work. You did not even specify a language. I guess you are working in C# and this is your college project. Is it?

maybe this can help.

public class GridViewExportUtil {

    public static void Export(string fileName, GridView gv)
    {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearHeaders();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1254");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "windows-1254"; //ISO-8859-13 ISO-8859-9  windows-1254

        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(
            "content-disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", fileName));
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
        string header = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">\n<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">\n<head>\n<title></title>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=windows-1254\" />\n<style>\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n";

        using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter())
        {
            using (HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw))
            {
                //  Create a form to contain the grid
                Table table = new Table();
                table.GridLines = GridLines.Horizontal;
                //table.CellSpacing = 17;

                //  add the header row to the table
                if (gv.HeaderRow != null)
                {
                    GridViewExportUtil.PrepareControlForExport(gv.HeaderRow);
                    table.Rows.Add(gv.HeaderRow);
                }

                //  add each of the data rows to the table
                foreach (GridViewRow row in gv.Rows)
                {
                    GridViewExportUtil.PrepareControlForExport(row);
                    table.Rows.Add(row);
                }

                //  add the footer row to the table
                if (gv.FooterRow != null)
                {
                    GridViewExportUtil.PrepareControlForExport(gv.FooterRow);

                    table.Rows.Add(gv.FooterRow);
                    //table.Height = 17;
                }

                //  render the table into the htmlwriter
                table.RenderControl(htw);

                //  render the htmlwriter into the response
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(header + sw.ToString());
                HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
            }
        }
    }

    /// <summary>

First, get your data displaying in the GridView (there are about a bazillion resources on this site and other to show you how to do that).

Here's the javascript to print the window:

<INPUT TYPE="button" onClick="window.print()">

    i am using visual studio 2008 and sql server 2008

    i want to print my "gridview with table" using a button in asp.net 3.5 code has three part first this is from my default page

     protected void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Session["ctrl"] = Panel1;
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "onclick",
            "<script language=javascript>window.open('Print.aspx','PrintMe','height=300px,width=300px,scrollbars=1');</script>");
        PrintHelper.PrintWebControl(Panel1);
    }
    

    this code this from print page

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Control ctrl = (Control)Session["ctrl"];
        PrintHelper.PrintWebControl(ctrl);
    }
    

    and this is my print helper class

     public PrintHelper()
    {
    }
    
    public static void PrintWebControl(Control ctrl)
    {
        PrintWebControl(ctrl, string.Empty);
    }
    
    public static void PrintWebControl(Control ctrl, string Script)
    {
        StringWriter stringWrite = new StringWriter();
        System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);
        if (ctrl is WebControl)
        {
            Unit w = new Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage); ((WebControl)ctrl).Width = w;
        }
        Page pg = new Page();
        pg.EnableEventValidation = false;
        if (Script != string.Empty)
        {
            pg.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(pg.GetType(), "PrintJavaScript", Script);
        }
        HtmlForm frm = new HtmlForm();
        pg.Controls.Add(frm);
        frm.Attributes.Add("runat", "server");
        frm.Controls.Add(ctrl);
        pg.DesignerInitialize();
        pg.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
        string strHTML = stringWrite.ToString();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTML);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<script>window.print();</script>");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
    }
    

    please help me out
