  "Printing Reports and Labels in Windows Forms"
By
Riley Phelps

In this lab, we will look at printing functionality available in the .NET Framework. We will specifically look at the System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog, System.Drawing, and System.Drawing.Printing classes.

Join Riley for a discussion on these useful print features of the .NET Framework.
   
  Materials and code samples presented in our Labs (including multiple part Labs) are generally available after the Lab for free download from http://66.180.109.178/Vbsig/Labs/

The Lab starts promptly at 6:00 p.m.! Please come early, space is at a premium!

 Goodbye, PARSEC - Thank You!
   
  On May 17, 1999 we meet for our first Lab at the Parsec Group. Now three and a half years later, we celebrate a great run and a wonderful relationship.

Regretfully, our next Lab, on Monday, November 18, 2002 will be our last one at the Parsec Group.

As we all are aware, over the time we have been together we have changed our name and focus as our software tools have evolved. In September 2000, we jumped fast on the opportunity to be more closely aligned with the changes that were taking place within our development tools and the evolution of our "beloved" Visual Basic when we changed from the Visual Basic Special Interest Group to the Visual Basic .NET Special Interest Group. In December of 2001, we again changed as our tools evolved and we became the Denver Microsoft Visual Studio .NET User Group emphasing Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET. Microsoft released into production these tools in February, 2002. Now, with over 1,200 members and multiple events each month, we continue to be proud of our group and each individual member as we continue to grow.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to exercise the .NET developer tool set to the extent to which we need to within our Labs at the Parsec Group, since the Parsec Group does not offer this .NET developer technology in their training areas. We now have a critical need to upgrade our Labs to the current software, with our decision to focus solely on .NET from now on.

I personally thank the staff at the Parsec Group and particularly Erica Freudenstein, for the wonderful support of our group over this long period. I also thank our Lab leaders, Dick Grier, James Hansen, and Dirk Kittredge for all their efforts that have directly contributed to the success of our Labs. Of course, our many members who have visited the Parsec Group facility to participate in our Labs also thank the Parsec Group for their support. We thank them for their professionalism and for giving back to our technical community in such a caring manner.

We will miss the Parsec Group, but we will continue to remember the good times and we will continue to hold them up as a shining star in our history as well as recommend them as Microsoft trainers. Good luck to Erica and all of our friends at the Parsec Group.
 
 
 Hello, Hensmann Technology!
   
 
Hensmann Technology Learning and Education Center We have recently been offered  a new location to use as our Lab venue which will provide us the opportunity to use the current Microsoft .NET developer technology. We have finalized our plans to move our Lab location from the Parsec Group to Hensmann Technology, the home of our Visual Studio .NET Practical Skills Course which is now running two six month sessions concurrently.
 
Summary of Lab changes:

     
Last Lab at the Parsec Group will be Monday, November 18, 2002.

     
No Lab in December, due to the holidays.

     
First Lab at Hensmann Technology will be Friday, January 24, 2003.

     
Beginning January, our monthly Lab day will be moved to the Friday before our Monday Meeting each month.

     
Beginning in January, our monthly Lab time will be expanded to 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

     
We will have full use of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional Edition in one of the Hensmann Technology state-of-the art training rooms on machines which are the same ones used by them for their paid training sessions.

     
We will continue our Labs as FREE hands-on training performed by user group members for the benefit of other user group members.

     
Our Lab leaders and members must provide and agree to proper security for the Hensmann Technology facility and all Hensmann Technology equipment hardware and software available to our Lab attendees during the time of our Labs. When you attend our Labs, you agree to abide by the security procedures in place. We are guests of Hensmann Technology and expect professionalism in our attendees. Admission is not guaranteed. Limitations are imposed due to the size of the facility and our quality.

     
Additional Lab co-coordinators/assistants and guest speakers will be added to our list of volunteer members working our Labs. For more information about these opportunities, contact James Hansen, Astarii@4dvision.net or Chris Wallace, cawallace1@earthlink.net.
 


Remember, our Labs are FREE, separate from, and in addition to the low fee based Visual Studio .NET Practical Skills Course which is now running two six month sessions concurrently.

 
We specifically thank Bryan VanSickle and Laura Edwards both of Hensmann Technology for providing our new Lab location and all of their help in setting up our new Labs.

We look forward to a long time relationship with the Hensmann Technology Learning and Education Center as our new Lab home!

 New Lab Leader - Update
   
  Thanks to those who have volunteered for the position of Lab co-coordinator to work with James Hansen.

You will soon be contacted by James regarding this opportunity. As I said last month, "Big things are happening in our Labs" (see above) -- "don't miss this really great opportunity!" Please be patient, since our decision to move our Lab venue we have been very busy, many changes have taken place! We will need more volunteer help with our new plans at our new location.

If you are still interested, since we have changed to our new Lab location, you may contact James directly, James Hansen, Astarii@4dvision.net to discuss the possibilities! Think it over, volunteer now!  Thanks again to all those who contacted us, your interest and enthusiasm to volunteer to help has been most encouraging!
