Public Class PrintFile Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl

Remarks

In addition to the properties, methods, fields, and events available with System.Windows.Forms.UserControl, PrintFile contains properties, methods, and events that further define a print file.

A PrintFile object is a collection of one or more Format controls, each containing one or more field controls composed of automatic (updated with page number for example), characterdecimal, date and time, label, line, and shape data.   Each Format within a print file can be thought of as a heading, detail, and footer. 

A PrintFile control contains properties that define the characteristics of the device and the overall appearance of the printed file.  By setting these properties, you can control such things as: the printer to use, the document name, will the output be in color, how many copies and are they to be collated, is it to be printed double-sided, the orientation, print quality, paper size, and left and top margins.
