Hey,

Can anybody tell me how to set the size of my form to inches, or the
equivalent? I want the size of the main form to be 8.5 x 11 inches (the same
size as a sheet of paper) when the application starts. It seems Microsoft
has changed everything with the VB.NET. Everything is in pixels now!

Thanks for any help!
 
Hi,


The graphics class dpix and dpiy will give you pixels per inch.

Dim gr As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics

Me.Size = New Size(New Point(gr.DpiX * 8.5, gr.DpiY * 11))
