Why in text file? Not a very good idea? What is the problem? Any specific requirements?

Don't do it. If you are using print preview, it should show content very similar to what is going to be printed, not anything like some "text file". Any problems with that?

I have large table data so its not possible to display all data in gridview that a resion i want to use text file to display data..

Well, the problem here is: the notion of "text file" does not carry anything related to data display. This is simply irrelevant. Large or not, the purpose of the preview is to show how it is going to look on paper. If you have too much data, provide only one page, as it might be enough. But better provide all the output and some paging, so only the users who want to see it all will page to the end.

I want print priview like window kundli software

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 10-Feb-14 3:19am

I have no idea what kundli software is, but you can represent data visually the way you want.

Just use the class PrintDocument and render whatever you need to on it.
Please see the update to the answer, after [EDIT].
