PrintDialog Component Overview (Windows Forms)
The Windows Forms PrintDialog component is a pre-configured dialog box used to select a printer, choose the pages to print, and determine other print-related settings in Windows-based applications. Use it as a simple solution for printer and print-related settings selection in lieu of configuring your own dialog box. You can enable users to print many parts of their documents: print all, print a selected page range, or print a selection. By relying on standard Windows dialog boxes, you create applications whose basic functionality is immediately familiar to users. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog component inherits from the xref:System.Windows.Forms.CommonDialog class.
Working with the Component
Use the xref:System.Windows.Forms.CommonDialog.ShowDialog%2A method to display the dialog box at run time. This component has properties that relate to either a single print job (xref:System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument class) or the settings of an individual printer (xref:System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings class). Either of these, in turn, may be shared by multiple printers.
When it is added to a form, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog component appears in the tray at the bottom of the Windows Forms Designer in Visual Studio.
