How to: Print Graphics in Windows Forms

Add a PrintDocument component to your form.

In the PrintPage event handler, use the Graphics property of the PrintPageEventArgs class to instruct the printer on what kind of graphics to print.

The following code example shows an event handler used to create a blue ellipse within a bounding rectangle. The rectangle has the following location and dimensions: beginning at 100, 150 with a width of 250 and a height of 250.

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, 
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
   e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Blue, 
     new Rectangle(100, 150, 250, 250));
}

(Visual C# and Visual C++) Place the following code in the form's constructor to register the event handler.

this.printDocument1.PrintPage += new
   System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler
   (this.printDocument1_PrintPage);
