Print a Winform/visual element

Question

All the articles I've found via google are either obsolete or contradict one another.

What's the easiest way to print a form or, say, a richtextbox in c#? I think it's using the PrintDiaglog class by setting the Document, but how does this get converted?

Answer 1

At least in VS 2008, its very easy. It took me about a couple of minutes to code the answer after reading your question. Here's where I borrowed it from:

I tested this, and it works.

Answer 2

Someone I know created a component that extends controls with a lot of properties that give you a lot of control over how the form prints. It's worth a look.
