  Dear All,

  I still have problems with the C1FlexReport in regard of printing. I need to force the C1Flexreport with VB code to print the format and the size according to the requierements.

  Problems:

  1. I do not get what i see in the Flexviewer.

  2. I choose landscape it will be printed Portrait virsus the same and all the Parameter are others.
     

  3. I change to papersize custom/customwidth/customheight no way
     

  4. i do not understand the values under customwidth and 	customheight (cm,mm,in, etc...) they are others like showing in the Layout line.
     

  5. Printing from the Flexviewer is ok but printing from a button with you get what you don not see.
     

  6. Did the .flxr save the original Parameters like printer name, papersize, Height, width, etc…

  So please how to ovoide all this non sens and get a great Report
  
  without loosing 2 weeks coding and trying. In the past i have already post about it. There was a bug forwarder to the responsible persons.

  Best regards
  
  Said

  Hi Said,

  we found out that we have to do the following to assign e.g. landscape/portrait mode to a C1FlexReport:
  
  You need to create a “PageSettings” object, then assign it to C1FlexReport:

  
          PageSettings myPageSettings = ...;
          C1PageSettings pageSettingsC1 = new C1PageSettings();
          pageSettingsC1.AssignFrom(myPageSettings );
          myFlexReport.PageSettings = pageSettingsC1;
  
  

  If you want to do a direct print, without using the C1FlexViewer control, you have to assing the page settings this way:

  
          myFlexReport.DefaultPrintOptions.PageSettings = myPageSettings;
  
  

  Hope this helps

  Wolfgang

  Hello Said,

  It seems that you wish to change the orientation, papersize and printer name at runtime for a C1FlexReport. For this, you can use the below mentioned code snippet, where an instance of C1PrintOptions is used:
  
  ```
  
  Dim options As New C1PrintOptions()
  
  options.PrinterSettings = New PrinterSettings()
  
  options.PageSettings = New PageSettings()
  
  'Orientation
  
  options.PageSettings.Landscape = True
  
  'Set custom paper size
  
  c1FlexReport1.PageSettings.PaperSize = PaperKind.Custom
  
  c1FlexReport1.Layout.CustomHeight = val1
  
  c1FlexReport1.Layout.CustomWidth = val2

      'Set printer name
      options.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Printer Name"
  
      c1FlexReport1.Print(options)
  

  
  A sample using the same is attached for your reference. 
  
  Please note, the report gets printed to its paper size only when the same paper size is supported by the printer as well.
  For example, you have set the paper size of your report to A5. But, your printer does not support this A5 paper size. When you will try to print this report using the same printer, it will be printed to the default paper size (say, A4) of your printer.
   
  Kindly share the details of the case you are referring to, in case your issue was not resolved there. 
  
  Also, thanks Wolfgang.
