Thread: Print out data on a letterhead format

Hi guys

i'm going to be re-writing and classic asp application to .Net,
now one of the functions takes a report and displays it on
the comapnys letterhead i.e. the page has a header and footer,
and this page prints out perfectly on a A4 page.

If the report is longer than an A4 page, it will split the report on to
2 pages. How i've worked this out is by counting the number of
lines per report and splitting it up every 30 or so lines.

Is there a better way to do this in .Net?

are you using some kind of report object?

Maybe the object has some kind of function for that?

no i'm not, built the functions myself.

basically all i do is count number of lines, when i reach a certain amount of
lines i just add a footer, then add a header and then loop through the rest
of the results until again it reaches a certain amount of lines and so the whole
process continues.
