Setting Printer Orientation using System.Drawing.Printer.PrinterSettings

[Nalini]

Hi All,

I am using Win32 APIs to set the orientation of Printer at runtime. I
get StackOverFlow in SetPrinterInfo method.

I tried to use the the System.Drawing.Printer.PrinterSettings class to
do the same. But could not get this done.

If anyone has tried using System.Drawing.Printer.PrinterSettings
class, can you pls post the some sample code.

Thanks
Nalini

Thank you Wagner.
I have a different scenario. I have html pages,dwf files,jpg which
need to be printed at runtime. The type of file is decided only at
runtime, so I cannot use Graphics to for the same.

I think, the SetHDevMode of PrinterSettigns can help me, but did not
get it to work.

May be you can help me.

Thanks

Hi Nalini,

You're trying to set the orientation for the page correct? If so you can
use the PageSettings class.

doc.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
