   The following types of document sources are supported:

   • An object that implements the IReport interface.
   • An object that implements the ILink interface.
   • A Stream that contains report document data.

2. If you use an IReport or ILink object as a document source, call the document source’s CreateDocument method or set the DocumentPreviewControl’s RequestDocumentCreation property to True to generate a preview.
