PageSettings.Landscape Property

You can use the PrinterSettings.LandscapeAngle property to determine the angle, in degrees, that the portrait orientation is rotated to produce the landscape orientation.

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 = 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);
   }
 }
