I need to figure out how to send a "txt" file (*.txt) to a printer to
be printed.



Pointers (or example code)?



TIA

You should be able to load it into a RichTextBox and find lots of
examples of printing that on the web.

I was hoping to avoid doing it that way.   the richtextbox always
screws up the formatting..  (tabs and spaces)

Set the font to Courier New or any monospaced font.

The MSDN docs for the PrintDocument class includes an example that shows how
to print a .txt file.

There's no need for these VB-style hacks in .NET.

If the end results are the same and the time difference is immeasurable,
who really cares how it got there.

You need to learn not to react when you perceive that Tony has attacked you. The reason I say that is because when you react you have obviously had your ego dented and are trying to protect it but you make yourself look stupider in the process.

Hi NathTay,

Gee!! Are you Tony's psychiatrist or something?

Not everything that Tony posts should be subject to the "God has spoken"
attitude you seem to implying.

Regards,


Laurie Comerford

No I just do not hold a grudge against Tony like you and Terry seem to. Despite what you think I was not sticking up for Tony or implying he is god.



Your amazingly quick response is quite disturbing but since you have spoken up I would suggest you take the advice I gave Terry.



When you, Terry and some others are attacked or perceive to be attacked you react to protect your ego regardless of whether you are correct or not which just makes you look stupider when you are not correct.



I know you think Terry is god and that Tony and I are both the devil so I am waiting for another quick response that makes you look even stupider than you already look.

>> If the end results are the same....

That's the problem. You've never used the API I suggested
the OP look at, and probably didn't even know it existed, so
from your perspective the 'end results are the same', which
is simply not the case (sorry, no time for a lesson).

You should expect this kind of thing to happen often here, if
you insist on operating with the mentality that suggests .NET
is just some sort of incremental update of VB6/VBA.

There are some particiapants here who actually want to learn,
rather than just hack/kludge their way through every problem,
and do that only to perpetuate an illusion.

Based on that statement you need to be seeking counseling instead of
giving it. From your previous post "make yourself look stupider in the
process"

I am glad you took my advice regarding Tony. Now you need to apply it to everyone.



Laurie took 5 minutes to kiss your *** and criticise myself. My statement was a play on Lauries comments but clearly you are to stupid to see that hence why I gave my original advice to you. Once again you have made yourself look stupider in the process of reacting to a damaged ego.
