Question

Im building out a c# web app here and I have a Listview. I would like to have a button on the page that when clicked it will print the listview easily. Anyone have any idea how this would be done?

Thanks

Try Adding the following code inside the button click event. Hope fully it will help.

    this.ListView1.DataBind();
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
    ListView1.RenderControl(hw);
    string ListViewHTML = sw.ToString().Replace("\"", "'").Replace(System.Environment.NewLine, "");
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.Append("<script type = 'text/javascript'>");
    sb.Append("window.onload = new function(){");
    sb.Append("var printList = window.open('', '', 'left=0");
    sb.Append(",top=0,width=800,height=700,status=0');");
    sb.Append("printList.document.write(\"");
    sb.Append(ListViewHTML);
    sb.Append("\");");
    sb.Append("printList.document.close();");
    sb.Append("printList.focus();");
    sb.Append("printList.print();");
    sb.Append("printList.close();};");
    sb.Append("</script>");
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "ListViewPrint", sb.ToString());
    this.ListView1.DataBind();
