How to get predefined paper size by PaperKind
.net, c#, printing
Solution
A subset of predefined values can be had by iterating over a `PrinterSettings.PaperSizes` collection.
Our application has the user select a printer, providing us with a `PrinterSettings` object. Contained within `PrinterSettings` is a list of `PaperSize`'s supported by the printer - not everything (note that the XPS Document Driver (win7) supports all sizes).
In our case this subset of supported sizes is all we need. A user specified `PaperKind` is passed to our printing code, and it goes through our `PrinterSettings` object until it either finds the user's selection or gives up and uses a default.
In the example below you can see that the `PaperSize` objects are correctly filled.
PrinterSettings settings = new PrinterSettings();
foreach (PaperSize size in settings.PaperSizes)
Debug.WriteLine(size);
It's only a subset, but maybe that's also enough for you. the printing APIs in .NET are really unclear and msdn isn't really much help... Hopefully it puts you on the right track!
Problem
I need to get paper size by System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind. Are there any predefined values? I don't want to hardcode or calculate paper sizes, I just want to get it programmatically. Thanks.
