Can the .net reportviewer control be fully operate

Question

Just started on a touchscreen based project that uses the reportviewer control. I will obviously be putting my own big buttons for report navigation , export to pdf etc since even people with tiny fingers will have a hard time clicking the out of box toolbar that comes with this control (see below screenshot). Can I do all of this from code

1) Show next / prev/first /last page of report

2) Show print dialog/page setup dialog/print layout

3) Export to pdf

Thats all we need for now. I am going thru the msdn samples meanwhile. Not yet found any code to do all that the toolbar shown does. thank you

Yes, you can. Assuming your application is Windows app, refer to ShowXXXXX properties of ReportViewer.

Update: As MS has deleted documentation of reportviewer (the first link above), following might be an alternative.
