Printing on a Pre-Printed Form
-
Good Day, It has always bothered me on how to print on a Pre-Printed Form. What I mean is, you have a form (For example, a Bio-Data form), then you print directly on the "blanks". I know that you can programatically fill the blanks by specifying the x-y coordinates of those blanks. But, is there an easier way? Like, you scan the image, then put textboxes on the black and then proceed by txtName.Text = "My Name" then print it without the image? Thanks! :)
It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

I understand you want to print a report based on a form. I'm I right? The method you want to use -printing the form itself as an image- isn't the best way. There are several articles on this site that explains this -one of them I wrote myself-, but I believe the best practice is using Microsoft Report, or crystal reports. You'll find a Control on the toolbox called MicrosoftReportViewer.

Thank you. I'll take additional readings regarding Microsoft Report.
