Immediate Print Preview

Standard printing mechanisms require that the entire report be generated before displaying the print preview. If you're working with large datasets, your application will freeze for a significant time interval each time you want to preview printed data. Our WPF Printing Library overcomes this limitation and allows you to instantly preview your documents regardless of dataset size.

When the Print Preview window is invoked, our Printing Library immediately creates and displays the first report page. Other pages are rendered when the application is idle, thus not affecting UI responsiveness. This feature works regardless of report type - be it a manually generated banded report or a rendered DevExpress WPF Grid Control.

If you only need to preview a couple of pages, you can interrupt report generation by clicking Stop within the status bar.
