Nice tutorial, everything worked fine for me but I don't get the Word Wrap part, I'm new to C#

EDIT: Never mind, silly me, I read it wrong, I got it now thanks, +REP and by the way add a semicolon after the

txtMain.WordWrap = wordWrapMenuStripItem.Checked

, Just a little minor mistake XD

Thanks Kierien, I'm definitely going to do this tutorial really soon.

I have a question for you: where did you learn how to do this (looking for a good book on this kind of stuff)? I know C#, I just lack the GUI programming part of this.

Thanks.

I also seem to be having a problem with prntDoc. Here's what I've got:

[COLOR=Blue]private void[/COLOR] printPreviewToolStripMenuItem_Click([COLOR=Blue]object[/COLOR] sender, [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]EventArgs[/COLOR] e)
     {

          System.Drawing.Printing.[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]PrintDocument[/COLOR] prntDoc = [COLOR=Blue]new[/COLOR] System.Drawing.Printing.[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]PrintDocument[/COLOR]();
          [COLOR=SeaGreen]//Declare preview as a new PrintPreviewDialog[/COLOR]
          [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]PrintPreviewDialog[/COLOR] preview = [COLOR=Blue]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]PrintPreviewDialog[/COLOR]();
          [COLOR=SeaGreen]//Declare prntDoc_PrintPage as a new EventHandler for prntDoc's Print Page[/COLOR]
          prntDoc.PrintPage += [COLOR=Blue]new[/COLOR] System.Drawing.Printing.[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]PrintPageEventHandler[/COLOR](prntDoc_PrintPage);
          [COLOR=SeaGreen]//Set the PrintPreview's Document equal to prntDoc[/COLOR]
          preview.Document = prntDoc;
          [COLOR=SeaGreen]//Show the PrintPreview Dialog[/COLOR]
          [COLOR=Blue]if[/COLOR] (preview.ShowDialog([COLOR=Blue]this[/COLOR]) == [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]DialogResult[/COLOR].OK)
          {
               [COLOR=SeaGreen]//Generate the PrintPreview[/COLOR]
               prntDoc.Print();
          }
     }

My error is:
Error 1 The name 'prntDoc_PrintPage' does not exist in the current context c:\CSharp Tutorials\Notepad\Form1.cs 71

(yes, I realize I didn't change the name of the form)

If someone could please point me in the right direction. Also, as I mentioned in my other reply today, this is my first time working with c# or VS. I have some knowledge in other languages though, and understand all the basic functions. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can as I got a job (finally) doing these kinds of things. So if you want to throw in any extra explanation, it WILL be read, I promise.
Edit:
I say first time, but I have made a form before (within past few days) that basically asks for a date frame and pulls up a report after sending a query to MySQL and another one with Microsoft SQL. However, I would like to understand and learn more about coding, not just dropping parts in and pointing them places. So really, what I'm asking is, how is this defined? how does it work? Not just what is the correct code, but actually how to fix it.
Also- note for anyone who hasn't used both- Microsoft SQL is way better.... syntax is different a little bit (having clause, aggregate functions), but it's way faster at actually running the query.

change prntDoc.PrintPage += new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(prntDoc_PrintPage); to

prntDoc.PrintPage += new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(printPreviewToolStripMenuItem_Click);
