Scenario as follow,
After key-in all the particulars, system can print the receipt of registration.

Anyone having a sample of 'Creating Receipt using VB.NET'?

Hopefully i will get the sample or appropriate URL.

I dont see how this is any more than any other kind of report.. In computing youre going to have to think about things in a different way.. You wont find examples targeted exactly to what you want to do every time, so you need to make your concept more generic..

You need to write a program that prints varying fields out on a bit of paper; typically we call that a report and do it with Crystal Reports, Access, Word MailMerge, Excel, HTML or some other program that already has the layout and print functionality to hook into.

RE:Creating a receipt

Hi

You have several options. You could do ole automation with MS Word or Excel or you could use a report writer. The professional version of Visual Studio comes with Crystal Reports. There are also a free report writers, but they aren't as good as Crystal. It should however be enough for your purpose. Here's the url: http://reportman.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately it only works with the dot net 2.0 framework. There is another free report writer and it is called Sharp Develop Reports. You can find it here: http://sharpdevelopreports.net/ The production release is dot net 2 and there is a beta for the dot net 3.x framework.

Good Luck
