This Control provides standardized print preview facilities to your application. It includes only the body of the print preview, rather than all the buttons and other facilities. For standard print preview you should use the PrintPreviewDialog, but if you have specific, custom requirements, you can embed this object instead and provide your own supporting UI.

To use the control, you should provide a Document to be previewed. You can then decide how many Columns and Rows of pages will be displayed and whether to AutoZoom to fit (if not, you can specify your own Zoom factor). You can also enable or disable high-quality antialiasing with the UseAntiAlias property.
