  Hi all,

  I need to ask if there is a sample for printing a C1flexreport without a dataset(no table, no database). This means each populated field in the FlexReport will get his value from the Visualbasic application in .Net to be printed.

  Best regards

  Hi Said,

  Of course, you can print a report which fetches the values from the .Net application without being bound to any data source.
  
  [vb]
  
  'Setting up the printer settings
  
  Dim options As C1PrintOptions = New C1PrintOptions()
  
  options.PrinterSettings = New PrinterSettings()
  
  options.PageSettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings()
  
  options.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = “Printer Name”
  
  C1FlexReport1.Print(options)
  
  [/vb]

  Thanks,

  Hi Pragati,

  Thank you for the quick reply. But how to send the value to each field that schould be printed in the Report. It is better if there is a sample how to do.

  I will explain a Little bit:

  1. I need to print one FlexReport. It is one page and all the values i read them from a Flexgrid and i must send them to the Report to be printed. The question is how to do?

  2. Sometimes i need to send a fix value that should be printed in a header/footer section.

  Best regards

  Thanks for this, I have been struggling with a similar question and this just solved it. One question though, why do we have to use DirectCast to assign a text value to from a text field in our object?

  Hi Darrell,

  Since the fields placed in the report definition are actually added in the report’s Fields collection, they are needed to be directcasted to TextField object which represents a field containing a uniformly formatted databound or static text.
  
  Please refer the following documentation links for more information on this:
