print in NT but not Wins98??

[Guest Cheung]

Hi all,

 

question on printing again. The following code does the printing :

Private Sub PrintTExt(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal ev As PrintPageEventArgs)

ev.Graphics.DrawString(TextBox1.Text, New Font("Arial", 11, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 120, 120)

ev.HasMorePages = False

End Sub

 

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

Try

Dim printDoc As New PrintDocument()

AddHandler printDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf Me.PrintTExt

printDoc.Print()

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show("Sorry -- there is a problem printing", ex.ToString())

End Try

End Sub

 

It works well in my NT machine (the machine I wrote the coding). But it doesn't work in Wins98 and Me machines. A windows dialog saying execution erro with Ignore and Close buttons was pop up.

Is there any limitation for Wins98 machine to run vb.net windows application?

 

thanks.

I guess every Machine running .Net Application should have a .Net Framework Installed.

I did that. I installed dotnetframework and also sp1 and sp2. also installed mdac because the application uses MS Access as a db. What else I need to install on the 98/Me machine?

Thank you.

As long as you have all the .Net runtime installed, it should work.

I found sby said that "printing seems to have lots of bugs with windows 98" (see the link below)
