Printing DataGridView With C# VB.NET In Winforms Windows Froms Application Using PrintDocument class.

Drag and place DataGridView on the form and populate it from database or dataset. I have used northwind.

Place one button and name it btnPrint, generate it's click event by double clicking on it We will use this event for printing.

Put PrintDocument control from toolbox under printing tab, Double click on it to generate it's PrintPage event.

Write below mentioned code in respective events.
