When you create an instance of the PrintPreviewControl class, some of the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the PrintPreviewControl constructor.
For more information about printing with Windows Forms, see the System.Drawing.Printing namespace overview. If you wish to print from a Windows Presentation Foundation application, see the System.Printing namespace.
