New to ASP.NET.

Is there any way of doing the following:

Want to write a database Web Site (connected to SQL Server). Specifically want to have buttons on some pages which will cause a query to be executed but will output not a web page through ASP but will print a report (written using VB.Net within the web app) directly on to the client's printer.

Hi there,

I don't think you can print a page that hasn't been sent to the client first. You may be able to work around this by using another application (for example a VB client) that has an embedded invisible browser control.

Take a look at this article: http://imar.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocID.aspx?QUICKDOC=243 to find out how you print with Internet Explorer without a conformation dialog. Please note, it's an Intranet and Internet Explorer only solution. You'll also need to lower the security settings in IE.

Cheers,

Imar
