A PaperSize represents the size of the paper through the PaperSize..::.Kind property, which contains one of the PaperKind values.
Set the PaperSize property for the page to a valid PaperSize, available through the PrinterSettings..::.PaperSizes collection.
For information about how you can specify a custom paper size, see the PaperSize constructor.
The following code example sets three properties for the document's default page, including the paper size based upon the size selected in the comboPaperSize combo box, and then prints the document using the Print method. The example requires that a PrintDocument variable named printDoc exists and that the specific combo boxes exist.
Private Sub MyButtonPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyButtonPrint.Click
' Set the paper size based upon the selection in the combo box.
If comboPaperSize.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = _
printDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Item(comboPaperSize.SelectedIndex)
End If
' Set the paper source based upon the selection in the combo box.
If comboPaperSource.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = _
printDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources.Item(comboPaperSource.SelectedIndex)
End If
' Set the printer resolution based upon the selection in the combo box.
If comboPrintResolution.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterResolution = _
printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions.Item(comboPrintResolution.SelectedIndex)
End If
' Print the document with the specified paper size and source.
printDoc.Print()
End Sub
