Alan,

You won't use C# code to do this. Rather, you have to attach an event
handler in javascript for the button and trigger a print of the document
(through the print method on the window object, I believe). Once the print
dialog comes up, they can choose to preview it.

Hope this helps.

Alan,

Actually getting a preview is much more difficult than just printing
(and with XP SP2, you might not be able to do it with the link I am giving
you here, because of security restrictions).

Here is a link to a piece of code that shows you how to do it:
