How can I generate report from data grid??

Aug 14th, 2007

Dear frens,

from your help I succeeded in creating data grid . Thank you for it.

Now i need to generate report from data grid.

my data grid code is as follows;

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       <span class="ad_notxt"><code class="inlinecode">
 Db1DataSet1.Clear()
        Dim conStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=K:\Database\db1.mdb"
        Dim con As OleDb.OleDbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(conStr)
        Dim S As String
        Dim datagrid1 As New DataGrid
        S = "select * from add1 where ID='" & TextBox1.Text & "'"
        Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(S, con)
        da.Fill(Db1DataSet1, "add1")
        datagrid1.DataSource = Db1DataSet1.DefaultViewManager
 </code></span>
    End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       <span class="ad_notxt"><code class="inlinecode">
 Db1DataSet1.Clear()
        Dim conStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=K:\Database\db1.mdb"
        Dim con As OleDb.OleDbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(conStr)
        Dim S As String
        Dim datagrid1 As New DataGrid
        S = "select * from add1 where ID='" & TextBox1.Text & "'"
        Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(S, con)
        da.Fill(Db1DataSet1, "add1")
        datagrid1.DataSource = Db1DataSet1.DefaultViewManager
 </code></span>
    End Sub

Now I want to generate report from the data field available in data grid in the form :
[Salutation] [fname] [mname] [lname], [degree]
[Position]
[organisation]
[Street] [City]
[State]
[Country]
Phone:[tel1] ,[tel2],[tel3]
Fax: [fax]
Email: [email]
URL: [URL]

I want to make two columns in the report to show various contacts' addresses in the data grid into printable form by generating report.

I don have any idea to generate report as i have never done it .

Please provide me with help with necessary explanations.

Anticipating for your help

Ya. thanks Pretham. saroja

I did as u said. But I have a problem while designing a report. I have to put different text fields in a format however the values have variable lengths.

I found trouble in managing the gaps between the fields. Is there any process or solution to make such that the values autoaccomodate the text boxes so that it looks like

But I have the difficulty , like when I design long name keeping in mind and use short name instead for eg: Ram instead of Gangottery. then
a problem exists the space between two field vaues broadens....

I m using VB.net version 8. I m using msaccess as bacend.

Please help me and provide me with necessary code if there is any. I have got just a week left for the deadline of my project.
