I am trying to get the Print
Preview of this database that shown on DataGridView like
the image below:
But, when I clicked the Print
Preview when the database has been shown on DataGridView,
I got this following error (shown by image):
The error was pointed on:

Update:
Stack Trace (Call Stack):
My thought: Is the problem comes because on those `DataGridView` columns, there are a Check Boxes, and those Check Boxes cannot be displayed by printing the file, it is just to show only in the System. Is it true?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thank you very much!
