Examples

The following code example populates the comboPrintResolution combo box with the supported resolutions. The example assumes that a PrintDocument variable named printDoc exists and that the specific combo box exists.

// Add list of printer resolutions found on the printer to the combobox.
// The PrinterResolution's ToString() method will be used to provide the display String.
PrinterResolution^ pkResolution;
for ( int i = 0; i < printDoc->PrinterSettings->PrinterResolutions->Count; i++ )
{
   pkResolution = printDoc->PrinterSettings->PrinterResolutions[ i ];
   comboPrintResolution->Items->Add( pkResolution );
}
// Add list of printer resolutions found on the printer to the combobox.
// The PrinterResolution's ToString() method will be used to provide the display string.

PrinterResolution pkResolution;
for (int i = 0; i < printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions.Count; i++){
    pkResolution = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions[i];
    comboPrintResolution.Items.Add(pkResolution);
}
' Add list of printer resolutions found on the printer to the combobox.
' The PrinterResolution's ToString() method will be used to provide the display string.
Dim pkResolution As PrinterResolution
For i = 0 to printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions.Count - 1
    pkResolution = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions.Item(i)
    comboPrintResolution.Items.Add(pkResolution)
Next

Remarks

This class is used by the PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions and PageSettings.PrinterResolution properties to get the printer resolutions that are available on the printer and to set the printing resolution for a page, respectively.

Use the Kind property to determine whether the printer resolution type is the PrinterResolutionKind value Custom. If so, use the X and Y properties to determine the printer resolution in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.

For more information on printing, see the System.Drawing.Printing namespace overview.
