| Default behavior of the DialogResult enumeration The RTM version of Visual Studio 2005 changed the default behavior of the DialogResult enumeration. In the book and in the downloaded code you will find examples such as DialogResult.OK. These dialog result enumerations must be fully qualified with the Windows.Forms namespace. For example, DialogResult.OK should be written as Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK. This applies to all DialogResult enumerations. |

| 235 | Text Deletions Printing using the PrintDocument class requires a lot of coding and knowledge of how actual printing works. Fortunately, the .NET Framework provides the My.Computer.Printers namespace, which simplifies your job as a developer. This namespace wraps up all the complexities of printing and provides you with methods and properties that allow you to print a text document with ease and just a few lines of code. You can use the DefaultPrinter method of this namespace to print to the default printer, or you can use the Item property to specify the printer that you want to print to. Using either one, you can print a text document with as little as two lines of code, as shown in this code snippet: With My.Computer.Printers.DefaultPrinter .WriteLine(txtFile.Text) .Print() End With In the Print A Document section was left over from the original text for this book. This entire section along with the code had to be rewritten during CE-AR edits due to changes in the software. |
