GDI+ Error in Print Preview - Plz Help

[Asif]

Hi all,

I am using the following sample code (Visio 2003 SDK) for print-preview
the visio drawing.

The issue is there once the following procedure is called it is giving
the following error:

A Generic error occured in GDI+
********************* Exception Text ******************************
System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error
occured in GDI
at System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewControl.CalculatePageInfo()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeMarshaledCallBacks()

Can anyone tell me about how to solve the issue.

Thanks

Asif
