I want to print all list items from listview with printDocument.

My print preview like :
Item1
------
Item2
------
Item3
------
so on....

I wrote this code :-

C#

private void printDocument2_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
            int yPos = 140;
            //bool more = true;
            foreach (ListViewItem xItem in listView1.Items)
            {
                e.Graphics.DrawString(xItem.SubItems[0].Text, new Font("Arial", 8.5f), Brushes.Black, 50, yPos);
                e.Graphics.DrawString(xItem.SubItems[1].Text, new Font("Arial", 8.5f), Brushes.Black, 380, yPos);
                e.Graphics.DrawString(xItem.SubItems[2].Text, new Font("Arial", 8.5f), Brushes.Black, 500, yPos);
                e.Graphics.DrawString(xItem.SubItems[3].Text, new Font("Arial", 8.5f), Brushes.Black, 500, yPos);
                yPos += 13;
                e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 50, yPos, 650, yPos);
            }
            e.HasMorePages = true;
        }

and printpreview code is :-

PrintPreviewDialog PPD = new PrintPreviewDialog();
            PPD.Document = printDocument2;
            PPD.Document.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("PaperA4", 826, 1169);
            PPD.Document.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("PaperA4", 826, 1169);
            //PPD.MdiParent = Application.OpenForms[0];
            PPD.Show();

when this code is run its added infinity documents..

I searched on google, and find something that calculate the string height and compare with printDocument graphics MarginBounds.
but in my situation how to calculate and print more pages???

Thanks in Advanced...

Hello,
here one example for printing multiple pages .

C#

int count = 0;//this variable is for total number of items in the list or array
    int i = 0;//this variable is  for no of item per page


    private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
    {
        float currentY = 10;// declare  one  variable for height measurment
        e.Graphics.DrawString("Animesh", DefaultFont, Brushes.Black, 100, currentY);//this will print one string in every page of the document
        while (count <= 300) // check the number of items
        {
            e.Graphics.DrawString(count.ToString(), DefaultFont, Brushes.Black, 10, currentY); //print each item
            currentY += 20; // set a gap between every item
            count += 1; //increment count by 1
            if (i < 50) // if  the number of item(per page) is less than 50 
            {
                i += 1; // increment i by +1
                e.HasMorePages = false; // set the HasMorePages property to false , so that no other page will not be added

            }
            else // if the number of item(per page) is more than 50
            {

                i = 0;           // initiate i to 0 .
                e.HasMorePages = true;
                return;
            }

        }

    }

Thanks
