I have the table Employees, the below are the fields: ID Name Picture So, I want to print the employee ID for each one. I have a DataGrid that displays all the employees n' I have a button (Print ID). When the botton is clicked I want to display a preview of the employee ID (with the ID, Name and picture). In that preview there will be a PRINT button and that button will print the employee ID. is this possible? thanx.

Thank you nobrainer, that it works. But I want something more dynamic. Im trying to print a gafete, you know, the Employee ID. So, Im looking for a way to disign the ID for each employee (get the name, the picture, the number etc.) and print t. Any idea? May be a BarCode control. thank you.

Maybe this can give you an idea on how to approach that... using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Imaging; namespace BarCoding { class BarCodeForm : Form { private int clicks = 0; public BarCodeForm() { this.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(BarCodeForm_MouseDown); this.Width = this.Height = 480; this.BackgroundImage = BarCode.GenerateBarCode(this.Width ,this.Height ,clicks++); } public static void Main() { Application.Run(new BarCodeForm()); } private void BarCodeForm_MouseDown(object sender ,MouseEventArgs e) { this.BackgroundImage = BarCode.GenerateBarCode(this.Width ,this.Height ,clicks++); } } class BarCode { public static Image GenerateBarCode(int w ,int h ,int n) { Bitmap barcode = new Bitmap(w ,h); Color[]colors = new Color[] {Color.White ,Color.Black}; Random rnd = new Random(n); for (int x = 0; x < barcode.Width; x++) { Color current = colors[(x+rnd.Next()) % 2]; for (int y = 0; y < barcode.Height; y++) { barcode.SetPixel(x,y,current); } } return Image.FromHbitmap(barcode.GetHbitmap()); } } } I hope this helps you in the right direction.
