实现过程
■ 新建项目
打开Visual Studio.NET，选择"新建项目"，在项目类型窗口中选择"Visual Basic项目"，在模板窗口中选择"Windows应用程序"，在名称域中输入"PrintExample"，然后选择保存路径。单击"确认"。
向当前窗体上添加三个Button控件，将他们的Text属性改为和界面一致。
通过菜单"项目|添加组件"为当前项目添加一个组件类，并添加一个需要打印的文件。

■ 运行程序
单击菜单"调试|启动"或单击 图标运行程序。
小结
在打印和打印预览时，我们可以使用PrintPreviewDialog，PrintPreviewControl控件和PrintDocument控件来实现。
