    Printing, previewing and exporting files (VB.Net / netframework)

    Overview

    FlexCel reporting is oriented to creating files, not to print them. Once you have the files you can save them, email them or just print them if that's what you really need. But, sometimes you might want to directly print the report, and here is where FlexCelPrintDocument can be helpful. You might want also to export the report to PDF, and then you would use FlexCelPdfExport. Or you might want to export the Excel file as an image, or to fax it, using FlexCelImgExport.

    All of those components share a common rendering engine, that "renders" the xls file to a canvas, so it can be printed or saved. Keep in mind that results are not 100% the same, and they cannot be, but they are very similar.

    FlexCelPrintDocument is a Winforms PrintDocument descendant, and you can use it on the same way. This means you can use it with a standard PrintPreviewDialog or PrintPreviewControl as you would do with any PrintDocument.
