Description: My implementation of AutoPrint is significantly different from the existing one. It provides both a WinForms interface, and a console-style interface, and it creates the necessary image on the fly, eliminating the need for additional files to be supplied in the installer. The various help file resources are stored as embedded resources that are extracted to an appropriate folder on the hard drive. There are a couple of nigglies that kinda ticked me off while I was writing this, but there doesn t seem to be an answer out there. I ll cover thoes issues as the article progresses.
<h2>The WinForms Interface</h2>
The WinForms interface consists of a single form.
