[2005] I need help with Print Preview?

[vblover5678]

Hi
I don't know why I can't preview the page, this code is from PrintDocument1:

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
        Dim horizontalprint As Single
        Dim verticalprint As Single
        horizontalprint = e.MarginBounds.Left
        verticalprint = e.MarginBounds.Top
        Dim printfont As New Font("arial", 12)
        Dim lineheightsingle As Single = printfont.GetHeight



        For listindexinteger As Integer = 0 To Me.StudentList.Items.Count - 1

            e.Graphics.DrawString(Me.StudentList.Items(listindexinteger).ToString() & Me.DepartmentList.Items(listindexinteger).ToString() & Me.MarkList.Items(listindexinteger).ToString(), printfont, Brushes.Black, horizontalprint, verticalprint)
            verticalprint += lineheightsingle


        Next listindexinteger

    End Sub

and this code is in Print preview button:

  Private Sub printbtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles printbtn.Click

        PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()

    End Sub

can you see the problem there I tried it before and it works I don't why it doesn't work now

thanks

this will work

Private Sub printbtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles printbtn.Click 
 
    ' Create the document and attach an event handler.
    Dim MyDoc As New PrintDocument()
    AddHandler MyDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf MyDoc_PrintPage
    Dim dlgPreview As New PrintPreviewDialog
    dlgPreview.Document = MyDoc
    dlgPreview.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
    dlgPreview.Show()
 
end sub
 
 
Private Sub MyDoc_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PrintPageEventArgs)
 
    Dim horizontalprint As Single  = e.MarginBounds.Left   
    Dim verticalprint As Single = e.MarginBounds.Top  
    Dim printfont As New Font("arial", 12) 
    Dim lineheightsingle As Single = printfont.GetHeight 
 
    For listindexinteger As Integer = 0 To Me.StudentList.Items.Count - 1    
        e.Graphics.DrawString(Me.StudentList.Items(listindexinteger).ToString() & Me.DepartmentList.Items(listindexinteger).ToString() & Me.MarkList.Items(listindexinteger).ToString(), printfont, Brushes.Black, horizontalprint, verticalprint) 
        verticalprint += lineheightsingle 
    Next listindexinteger 
 
 
end sub
