Changing Report.ReportSettings.PageSize does not reflect change when calling Report.Print(true, false)
posted

Hello,

I have the following code:

System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings commonSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
var SomePaperSize = commonSettings.PaperSizes[0];
Report.ReportSettings.PageSize = new System.Windows.Size(SomePaperSize.Width, SomePaperSize.Height);

That resizes the page, I can see it works. However, if I call

Report.Print(true, false);

then in the print dialog I see another paper size selected. 

This does not happen, for example, when settings the page orientation:
Report.ReportSettings.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;

In this case, if I call the print method I can see in the settings the chosen orientation.

Is there anyway to change the page size in the code before opening the print dialog?

Thank you!

    Hello Camilo,

    Thank you for your post.

    At the moment the Report.ReportSettings.PageSize property is related only to exporting of the report, not so much printing. The paper size is not affected by the page size property currently, and currently needs to be set in the print dialog. If you would like to see a way to set this from code, consider placing a new product idea for it at http://ideas.infragistics.com.
