In this short article I will explain how to print the contents of ASP.Net Panel control using JavaScript.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script type = "text/javascript">
        function PrintPanel() {
            var panel = document.getElementById("<%=pnlContents.ClientID %>");
            var printWindow = window.open('', '', 'height=400,width=800');
            printWindow.document.write('<html><head><title>DIV Contents</title>');
            printWindow.document.write('</head><body >');
            printWindow.document.write(panel.innerHTML);
            printWindow.document.write('</body></html>');
            printWindow.document.close();
            setTimeout(function () {
                printWindow.print();
            }, 500);
            return false;
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat = "server">
    <asp:Panel id="pnlContents" runat = "server">
        <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight:bold; font-family: Arial">Hello,
            <br />
            This is <span style="color: #18B5F0">Mudassar Khan</span>.<br />
            Hoping that you are enjoying my articles!</span>
    </asp:Panel>
    <br />
    <asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat="server" Text="Print" OnClientClick = "return PrintPanel();" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>
 
 
In the above HTML Markup I have an ASP.Net Panel control pnlContents whose contents needs to be printed and an ASP.Net Button btnPrint which has an OnClientClick event which will call the JavaScript method PrintPanel() to print the contents of the Panel.
