I would like to print some information which is in my GridView Control. 
I noticed there are some examples how to simply print the grid.

I would however like to make it a little bit more user friendly, i need to add a few items above and bellow to the printed page.
Just general information and place for signature etc,

What would you say would be a good way to approach it. 
I have been looking at the RichTextBox, perhaps i can stick everything in there and print from it.

I need some general advice on what control/controls would be best to use here.

Thanks

Hi,

Indeed you can use the RTB to customize the printing. Here is the demo.

The line: rtb.Print("MyDocument", Documents.UI.PrintMode.Native);

What reference do i need to add for "Documents.UI.PrintMode.Native", it's not clear.

Hi,

 You need a reference to the 'Telerik.Windows.Documents' assembly.

I am now trying out the code from your example, but get the following error: "Dialogs must be user-initiated."
It happens at this point: rtb.Print("MyDocument", Telerik.Windows.Documents.UI.PrintMode.Native);

It has started working on it's own. Don't know why. Maybe it was somehow related to debugging.

I have another question however, now i would like to add additional info on the document.

What is the difference between a section and a block?

Should i be adding free text inside a block?
