PrinterResolution Class
Represents the resolution supported by a printer.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The PrinterResolution type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Infrastructure. This member overrides the Object.ToString method. (Overrides Object.ToString().) |
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.
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); }
