I have created a wonderful report with Infragistics.Documents.Report.Report. I am able to save it to a PDF, XPS, and send it directly to a printer and it looks as wonderful as can be, but... Others want to see it in a print preview dialog before printing. How might one go about doing that?

Hi Sam,
I assume you are just using the Print method on the report. Unfortunately, there's currently no PrintPreview method to allow you to send the report to a PrintPreview.Print always goes to a printer.
But there is a way to draw the report onto a print surface yourself. There's a sample of this in the WinGrid SamplesExplorer project. The sample exports a grid to a report and then show a print preview, but the grid is not necessary, it will work for any report.
Hi Mike,
Actually I had already found that example and used it to print a report of a UltraGrid, but I am not seeing how to apply that to displaying a report. Here is what I have:
Infragistics.Documents.Report.Report report = new Report();CreateReport(asmtIds, resourceManager, parentWindow.Handle, dbConnInfo, report);Infragistics.Win.Printing.UltraPrintPreviewDialog ultraPrintPreviewDialog = new Infragistics.Win.Printing.UltraPrintPreviewDialog(); ultraPrintPreviewDialog.Document = report;ultraPrintPreviewDialog.ShowDialog(parentWindow);
ultraPrintPreviewDialog.Document = report;ultraPrintPreviewDialog.ShowDialog(parentWindow);
The problem is that the 'report' is not of type Document. I don't have a clue how to tell the UltraPrintPreviewDialog to display the report. Any suggestions?
