How can I generate report from data grid??

[Kshiteesh]

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;

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        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
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

first check out -crystal report is installed in ur system& if its yes-then connect crystal report with db(by clicking on source option-present in file,menu)
And also manually connect db with reports-by writing code invb.net....i think after that,u should b able todo!!!!

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

[Salutation] [fname] [mname] [lname], [degree]
[Position]
[organisation]
[Street] [City] 
[State]
[Country]
Phone:[tel1] ,[tel2],[tel3]
Fax: [fax]
Email: [email]
URL: [url]

for example above format should show in report as;

Dr. Preetham Saroja, Phd(USA)
Executive Director
International Centre for Information Technology
16 Avenue Stree, Mery Land
12121WA, USA
Phone: [phone]
Fax: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]
URL: www.icit.org

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.
