Creating a Non-Databound Report in Winforms
- by Jon
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and all the components that come with it as well as Infragisitics for Winforms.
I need to design a label that will print to a label printer.
None of the controls are databound and will most likely be set in code eg/Label.Text = "My Heading"; as there will be minimal information on the label.
One piece of information is a barcode so I need the functionality to do that, I assume I can just set the font of the label to barcode and it will do its thing.
Can I just add a Crystal Report to a form design it, set the label text properties in code, tell it what printer to print to and then call report.Print();
I've had a quick go and seems not as easy as I thought.
Thanks
