<h5 id="C1_C1Excel_C1XLBook_PixelsToTwips_System_Double__remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Excel stores measurements in twips (1/20th of a point), a 
resolution-independent unit. .NET controls, on the other hand, usually 
express measurements in pixels. This method provides an easy way to 
convert pixel measurements into twips using the current screen resolution.</p>
