Set print orientation to landscape

Question

i already can create a print to print a file in my windows forms. However, whenever i add this code:

printDialog.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;

I can't see the Orientation of the page become LandScape, it is still Portrait.

How do I make it LandScape as default? So, whenever i click PrintPreview or PrintFile, the Orientation of the page will become LandScape, not Portrait.

Here is the code:

private void PrintPreview(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PrintPreviewDialog _PrintPreview = new PrintPreviewDialog();
    _PrintPreview.Document = printDocument1;
    ((Form)_PrintPreview).WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
    _PrintPreview.ShowDialog();
}

private void PrintFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();
    printDialog.Document = printDocument1;
    printDialog.UseEXDialog = true;

    if (DialogResult.OK == printDialog.ShowDialog())
    {
        printDocument1.DocumentName = "Test Page Print";
        printDocument1.Print();
    }
}

Solution

try setting the Landscape of PrintDocument as follows,

printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;

are you adding that line before calling ShowDialog()?

[Kaoru]

yes, i added that line right before call the ShowDialog();, though i called it in PrintFile function

[Kaoru]

and, what is the page sir?

This is good. Be advised that printDocument1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true; did not work. Make sure you have just like the answer and not with PrinterSettings.
