printpreviewdialog print preview problem

hello guys i have a program that will print the data displayed in the datagridview my problem is that when the pages is more than 3 or something the print preview just keep generating print previews...

here is my work :

else if (radioButton2.Checked)

{

e.HasMorePages = true;

while (i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count)

{

if (height > e.MarginBounds.Height)

{

height = 130;

width = 100;

e.HasMorePages = true;

return;

}

else

{

e.HasMorePages = false;

}

//Draws a rectangle with same width and height of first column of datagridview.

e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, 100, 0,

dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height);

//Fills the above drawn rectangle with a light gray colour just to distinguish the header

e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.LightGray, new Rectangle

(100, 0, dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height));

//Draws a text inside the above drawn rectangle whose value is same of the first column.

e.Graphics.DrawString(dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText,

dataGridView1.Font, Brushes.Black, new RectangleF(100, 0,

dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height), str);

//Draws a rectangle with same width and height of first column of datagridview.

e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, 200, 0,

200, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height);

//Fills the above drawn rectangle with a light gray colour just to distinguish the header

e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.LightGray, new Rectangle

(200, 0, 200, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height));

//Draws a text inside the above drawn rectangle whose value is same of the first column.

e.Graphics.DrawString(dataGridView1.Columns[1].HeaderText,

dataGridView1.Font, Brushes.Black, new RectangleF(200, 0,

200, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height), str);

//Draws a rectangle with same width and height of first column of datagridview.

e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, 400, 0,

dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width, dataGridView1.Rows[0].Height);

width += dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width;

i++;

}

e.HasMorePages = false;

Put a page count in there IE:

if(pageCount==0)
{
//print first page
e.HasMorePages = true;
pageCount+=1;
}
else if(pageCount==1)
{
//print second page
e.HasMorePages = true;
pageCount+=2;
}
else if(pageCount==2)
{
//print third page
e.HasMorePages = false;
pageCount=0;
}
