Examples
The following code example sets a document's default page orientation to landscape through the PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings property, and prints the document. The example has three prerequisites:
A variable named
filePath
has been set to the path of the file to print.A method named
pd_PrintPage
, which handles the PrintPage event, has been defined.A variable named
printer
has been set to the printer's name.
Use the System.Drawing, System.Drawing.Printing, and System.IO namespaces for this example.
public:
void Printing()
{
try
{
streamToPrint = gcnew StreamReader( filePath );
try
{
printFont = gcnew Font( "Arial",10 );
PrintDocument^ pd = gcnew PrintDocument;
pd->PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(
this, &Sample::pd_PrintPage );
pd->PrinterSettings->PrinterName = printer;
// Set the page orientation to landscape.
pd->DefaultPageSettings->Landscape = true;
pd->Print();
}
finally
{
streamToPrint->Close();
}
}
catch ( Exception^ ex )
{
MessageBox::Show( ex->Message );
}
}
public void Printing() {
try {
streamToPrint = new StreamReader (filePath);
try {
printFont = new Font("Arial", 10);
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printer;
// Set the page orientation to landscape.
pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
pd.Print();
}
finally {
streamToPrint.Close() ;
}
}
catch(Exception ex) {
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
Public Sub Printing()
Try
streamToPrint = New StreamReader(filePath)
Try
printFont = New Font("Arial", 10)
Dim pd As New PrintDocument()
AddHandler pd.PrintPage, AddressOf pd_PrintPage
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printer
' Set the page orientation to landscape.
pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
pd.Print()
Finally
streamToPrint.Close()
End Try
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
Remarks
You can use the PrinterSettings.LandscapeAngle property to determine the angle, in degrees, that the portrait orientation is rotated to produce the landscape orientation.
