ASP.NET print HTML report in A4 Paper
发表评论work in ASP.net project again. currently working on report module. I need to print all members notification letter in once. the best way for web printing of course is generate PDF file, but my company no provide me PDF library, and I can’t find any free PDF library for ASP.net. So, the only method is use the javaScript, Window.print() function to print my report.
I used repeater web control to generate the report and in HTML form.
I need fix all in A4 size, if my repeater generate 4 member notification letter, then I need exactly print 4 letters in A4 paper.
But you may face this problem:
when the first page content cannot fix in entire A4 paper, the second page content will move up. or maybe :
the first page content too long, and extend to second page.
that’s not really possible to control, because it depending on content. But I found out the IE8( or IE7) have a function call “shrink-to-fit”that can solve my problem.
I need to explain my situation,
1st, I build management system for a company but not create website for company. So, I can force my client using which browser to operate the system. 2nd, client no require cross browser capability . 3rd, my company no provide any printing library for me.
first of all, you need write all the page content(report content) within the <div> , 210mm X 297mm is A4 paper size.
2nd, setting IE:
left click on “Page Setup… (menu item)”
change the page size to A4 size.
Tick the Enable Shink-to-Fit
Done. Now you can print your report nicely. kindly Email me, if you face any problem in ASP.net printing issue.

enhance your searching experience-GAS v2.1(updated)
what is GAS?
GAS(Google accurate Search) is an application developed by me, 1st version was realeased in 2007, check my another blog here
purpose
A lot of people use google to search for information,as you know, google is a very strong search engine, once we key in a keyword in search box and press the search button, there are unlimited result return. It is very burden to find useful information from there. If you know to use google Search operators, everything will be different, you can find more accurate and satisfactory results. However, general users do not know how to use Search operators, this is the reason I created Gas.
Gas is a desktop application which allow users to searching something just click some button, and the application will auto fill in the search operation in google search box to find acculate result.
In version 2 beta version 2.1, I just created some useful search operation in this application, article file type filter, image search and programming language search, enjoy and thank you.
Gas version 2.0 beta Gas version 2.1 was build on Adobe AIR framework, so your need AIR runtime to run this application, you can download here AIR runtime 1.5

imagination of web future
Recently, prepare my seminar, I found out something. web 2.0 change the way of end-user utilize the web.In the same time, RIA technology rise, another web revolution are began in preparation stage. yes, growth of adobe Flash and Ms silverlight those embeded-version RIA(rich internet application) technology. why do I say that another web revolution? it does not refer to how end -users and software developers utilize the web,but rather to development technique.
if you are web developer, you should know traditional web development is using HTML and css for layout user interface, using javascript process client-side, and a server-side technology for exchange data with database or other data store. But Flash and silverlight change original ecological of web development. How many html tags using in a flash-site or silverlight-site? Do you think web developer need html knowledge if he/she only build flash-site or silvelight-site? or a web developer who don’t know html and css can consider is a web developer if he/she only know flash and silverlight?
few year ago, I just thought flash can replace other client-side technology.unimaginable, today flash can access database already, through web service and http service and objectRemote method. It become more and more powerful.
do you think in future, html and css just can be a supporting role in web application? or browser can direct compile XAML(silverlight) or MXML(flex) markup language in future?
