Please examine Page.Height and Page.Width properties. These properties are represented in report's units (centimeters, inches).
Thank you.

For get type information you can use:
and later you can use
for access to the page type
Also you can set page type by the following code, for example:
Code: Select all
StiPage page = report.Pages[0];
page.PaperSize = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.A5;
For access information about page type from designer you can use, for example:

I have used same code in vb
Dim page As StiPage = Report.Pages(0)
But there is no property like
'page.papersize'
Is there any another way to get the paper type?

Using form As Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm = New Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm(Report)
Dim stiPreview As Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewControl = form.PreviewControl
Dim tb As StiToolBar = stiPreview.ToolBar
Dim btnSave As StiToolButton = TryCast(tb.Controls.Item("tbSave"), StiToolButton)
Dim btnExport As StiToolButton = TryCast(tb.Controls.Item("tbExport"), StiToolButton)
btnExport.Image = btnSave.Image
Report.Render()
Report.Compile()
form.ShowDialog()
Dim page As StiPage = Report.Pages(0)
MessageBox.Show(page.PaperSize.ToString)
End Using

You should reference a CompiledReport object instead of the Report object if you working with report after compilation.
Please modify your code in the following way:
Code: Select all
Dim page As StiPage = report.CompiledReport.Pages(0)
page.PaperSize = Printing.PaperKind.A5
MessageBox.Show(page.PaperSize.ToString)
Report.Render()
form.ShowDialog()
If you modify a report template (Report template directly) with a new page size then you should call Compile method of the Report to apply changes.
Thank you.
