hey there guys. I want to know how to Print the data from a listview into a receipt. I have found a question here which solves the printing but it only prints the listview items and not the other texts from the Receipt Form. Like the Header and total amounts and the like.
Click Here
is there any way to edit this and also print the other texts.

Did you ever tried writing the code you want because you now have the code to print Items (Body) so why don't before the Body printing code write your header printing code, or simply formulate/format it then add the format above the body so that it will be printed on top followed by the Items(Body) and footer(Total)?

yes i did. and am now able to print but now I'm stuck again in a problem. which is the table in the rdlc report doesn't update at all if another data is added on the database the table on the rdlc report doesn't update.

Any code we could look at?

I saw this code on some site and have been using it.
