        Ne one having idea how to do that please do answers. Thnaks in advance to them

You could put your DataGrid inside an <iframe> and then use JavaScript to print just the contents of the frame.

Otherwise, I think you'll need to redirect to a page that displays just the datagrid, then print it, and then redirect again to the full page.

Cheers,

Everyone is unique, except for me.

I think you're dreaming ... I can find ways to print from WINDOWS forms but webforms doesn't seem to have a printdialog control needed to print the entire control. I've been able to email a copy of the datagrid using RENDERCONTROL (sp?) that document is an html file which can then be printed. That's as close as I've come. Good luck! Bob R.

You could also have some javascript that opens a new blank window, then uses document.write to write to that empty document the contents of only the datagrid. On the client side, you can access the HTML table that the grid renders by getting a client-side element reference using the value return from the server-side myGrid.ClientID property. This will get you the HTML table element from which you could get outerHtml or whatever that dom property is to get all of that element's HTML. This would then require no server-side roundtrip or extra pages.

Peter, I'm really in need of doing this (print the content of datagrid on client side). I'm very new to .net so can you please provide me with some sample code to write this javascript? Urgent, please help. I really appreciate it.

1. Print a DataGrid Alone from an ASP.NET Web Page

Ever wanted to print a DataGrid alone from an ASP.NET Web page? Put an <asp:DataGrid> tag inside the tag does the trick. Here are the steps involved:
Enclose the <asp:datagrid></asp:datagrid> tag inside the <div></div> tag.
Write a JavaScript function which takes care of printing the content from <div> tag.
Here's an example:
<script language=javascript>
function CallPrint(strid)
{
 var prtContent = document.getElementById(strid);
 var WinPrint = window.open('','','letf=0,top=0,width=1,height=1,t oolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0');
 WinPrint.document.write(prtContent.innerHTML);
 WinPrint.document.close();
 WinPrint.focus();
 WinPrint.print();
 WinPrint.close();
 prtContent.innerHTML=strOldOne;
}
</script>

<div id="divPrint">
<asp:datagrid>
.....
.....
.....
</asp:datagrid>
</div>
<asp:button ID="btnPrint" onClick="javascript:CallPrint('divPrint');" Runat=Server />
