Share Paper: Integrating VB.net and MS Word

  1. Mark Smith, Purdue University North Central, United States

Abstract: Printing within VB.net is burdensome and confusing. There are add-on packages available, like Crystal Reports, which can be used to produce printed reports within VB.net, but there are times when they are just not flexible enough. An alternate approach is to connect VB.net and MS Word to produce printed output. This presentation will demonstrate how MS Word can be integrated with VB.net to make printing convenient and flexible.
