To change measurements, you need to call measurement conversion at run-time, for example, the CmToInch method or InchToCm method at run-time. For example, you can use the following code when you are working in centimeters and need to convert a Label's position measurements from centimeters to inches at run-time.

1. On the design surface select the section containing a control like a Label.
2. In the Properties Panel, click the Events button to get a list of report events.
3. Select the Format event and double-click to create an event-handling method.
4. Add code like the following to the handler to set the size of the control using centimeters to inches.

   Visual Basic.NET code. Paste inside the Format event.	Copy Code
   Me.Label1.Left = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2) Me.Label1.Top = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2)

   C# code. Paste inside the Format event.	Copy Code
   this.label1.Left = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2); this.label1.Top = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2);
