Change printDocument paper size

[Axien]

Hi all,
I want to change paper size to A4, but I don't know how to do it.
I tried to do in this way:

printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.PaperName
= "PaperA4";

but got an exception "Can't change a PaperSize unless its Kind is Custom", then I tried to change that PaperKind:

System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind kind =
System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.A4;
// some Code here //
printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.Kind = kind;

but that "..PaperSize.Kind" is read only.
Maybe someone has some IDEAS ???

Hello Axien,
Try the following

printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize= new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("PaperA4",840,1180);


This should set the size of the paper to A4. The next two parameters (after the "PaperA&quot are the Width and Height of the paper on 100th of inch so if my calculations are correct (see why i said should ) it will set the size of the paper to A4. Unfortuantely my printer is not working (outof ink) so when you test it please let me know.

Hope that this helps,
Camel

Thanks Camel,
it realy works , but paper A4 Width = 826, Heigth = 1169. I just checked it with pageSetupDialog object:

pageSetupDialog.ShowDialog();
// then I set paper format to A4 //
txtWidth.Text = pageSetupDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.Width.ToString();
txtHeight.Text = pageSetupDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.Height.ToString();

// there txtWidth and txtHeight are TextBox class objects
