The only matter is position for cheque print , so better is you can just get photocopy of cheque and than try to print on that with specified text with specified position .

you can use PrintDocument object.

Here are some documentation and samples

Printing in VB.NET

Use crystal report or Microsoft Report.

For that first you have to design the form which should have the proper design for the cheque

and for printing you have option of crystal report.

You may required a table with proper required fields in you table..

if have any problem then free to ask..

Using PrintForm.Print() You can complete this task.

design your form , as you want in cheque format.

after that PrintForm.Print() method.

To print the entire form, perform the following steps:

Drag a PrintForm component onto your Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox
Set the PrintForm.BodyContainer property to reference your Form
Add a button and button click handler. In the handler call PrintForm.Print()

Try this and let me know.

Here are two approaches to print a form in http://vb.net/:

1) Using PrintDocument, PrintDialog components

.NET Framework provides excellent support for printing documents.

PrintDocument Component:

In .NET Framework, a printed document is represented by the PrintDocument component. The PrintDocument object encapsulates all the information needed to print a page. It handles the events and operations of printing.

PrintDialog Component:

To print a document, you need to set the PrintDialog’s Document property to the PrintDocument object, and use the PrintDocument object's Print method. To send content to the printer, you must handle this PrintDocument_PrintPage event to render the content.

Private Sub buttonPrint_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim printDialog1 As PrintDialog = New PrintDialog printDialog1.Document = printDocument1 Dim result As DialogResult = printDialog1.ShowDialog If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then printDocument1.Print() End If End Sub

2) Using PrintForm component in Visual Basic Power Packs

The PrintForm component is designed to bring back the ability to easily print a Windows Form. This makes it possible to layout the Windows Form exactly as you want and also allows you to print the form as a quick report.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable) End Sub

hope this will help u

Hi Ajay,

You can create cheque printing software by using PrintDocument component in VB.net

If you want to allow users to print form components in run-time, the PrintDocument component lets you offer users this functionality. The PrintDocument component is an object that allows users to send an output to a printer from Windows Forms applications. In this tip, I show you how to use the component in your VB.NET applications.

Using PrintDocument

In order to use the PrintDocument component, you need to double-click on the PrintDocument component in the Toolbox. Once the component is added to the form, you can set its properties and print.

In my example, I will add the PrintDocument component, a TextBox, and a command button to the form. Then, I will add the following code:

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

     PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2
     PrintDocument1.Print()

End Sub
