I have the table Employees, the below are the fields:
ID
Name
Picture
So, I want to print the employee ID for each one.
I have a DataGrid that displays all the employees n' I have a button (Print ID). When the botton is clicked I want to display a preview of the employee ID (with the ID, Name and picture). In that preview there will be a PRINT button and that button will print the employee ID.
is this possible?
thanx.

I don't understand the question correctly.

Thanks

Thank you nobrainer, that it works. But I want something more dynamic.
Im trying to print a gafete, you know, the Employee ID. So, Im looking for a way to disign the ID for each employee (get the name, the picture, the number etc.) and print t.
Any idea? May be a BarCode control.
thank you.

Maybe this can give you an idea on how to approach that...
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
namespace BarCoding
{
class BarCodeForm : Form
{
private int clicks = 0;
public BarCodeForm()
{
this.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(BarCodeForm_MouseDown);
this.Width = this.Height = 480;
this.BackgroundImage = BarCode.GenerateBarCode(this.Width ,this.Height ,clicks++);
}
public static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new BarCodeForm());
}
private void BarCodeForm_MouseDown(object sender ,MouseEventArgs e)
{
this.BackgroundImage = BarCode.GenerateBarCode(this.Width ,this.Height ,clicks++);
}
}
class BarCode
{
public static Image GenerateBarCode(int w ,int h ,int n)
{
Bitmap barcode = new Bitmap(w ,h);
Color[]colors = new Color[] {Color.White ,Color.Black};
Random rnd = new Random(n);
for (int x = 0; x < barcode.Width; x++)
{
Color current = colors[(x+rnd.Next()) % 2];
for (int y = 0; y < barcode.Height; y++)
{
barcode.SetPixel(x,y,current);
}
}
return Image.FromHbitmap(barcode.GetHbitmap());
}
}
}
I hope this helps you in the right direction.
