Setting printer paper size in VB.Net for rdlc report

Question

I built a report with a landscape orientation using VB.net 2010 and made the ​​size 16.5 cm * 8.25 cm

When you print the report directly shows the size of the page A4 !!!

I need to provide the printer with a custom paper size. How can I make my report have a custom paper size?

Solution

In order to change the default format (A4) of a report, you must change the report properties to accept a custom paper size.

Set PaperSize By GUI

Step 1

Open your report and right click (on the gray pane, not the report itself) to select "Report Properties"

Step 2

Choose Landscape for your orientation and select a custom paper size. Specify your width and height as well.

Programmatically Set PaperSize

1. Paper Size should be the size in inches multiplied by 100
2. Width: The width of the paper, in hundredths of an inch
3. Height: The height of the paper, in hundredths of an inch

Here is the code I used to programmatically set a custom paper size to my report

ReportViewer1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("Custom", 650, 325)

**Note: Don't forget, you may need to use the code ReportViewer1.RefreshReport() if it doesn't work.*

Thanks Did it But this is not what I want to do I want to give an order that the printer paper size is 16.5 cm * 8.25 cm before print.

If you have those settings set, the printer will automatically accept it as a custom paper size and print it in that format (if it can).
