Question

I have a situation here. I need to create an employee card structure in windows form using C# in Visual Studio 2010. The structure may contains labels and picture boxes with white background.

I have found following code which is working perfectly!!

```
    //declare event handler for printing in constructor
        printdoc1.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printdoc1_PrintPage);

//Rest of the code
    Bitmap MemoryImage;
    public void GetPrintArea(Panel pnl)
    {
        MemoryImage = new Bitmap(pnl.Width, pnl.Height);
        pnl.DrawToBitmap(MemoryImage, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnl.Width, pnl.Height));
    }
    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        if (MemoryImage != null)
        {
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(MemoryImage, 0, 0);
            base.OnPaint(e);
        }
    }
    void printdoc1_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
    {
        Rectangle pagearea = e.PageBounds;
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(MemoryImage, (pagearea.Width / 2) - (this.panel1.Width / 2), this.panel1.Location.Y);
    }
    public void Print(Panel pnl)
    {
        pannel = pnl;
        GetPrintArea(pnl);
        previewdlg.Document = printdoc1;
        previewdlg.ShowDialog();
    }
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Print(this.panel1);
    }
```
