Howto force Report Viewer to be shown in print preview mode

Question

In Visual Studio 2005, how can I show a report in ReportViewer control directly on Print-preview mode?

Answer 1

In Windows Forms application if you call the SetDisplayMode method in reportviewer's RenderingComplete event it may cause StackOverflowException. It is not correct place to call the method.

Answer 2

Use the SetDisplayMode() method:

MyReportViewer.SetDisplayMode(DisplayMode.PrintLayout);
