Set Margin of Report Viewer during runtime

[xuexue]

Hi!

I have this code from the internet but it didn't work well.

I want to set the margin of the Report Viewer during runtime. Because I have this form to fill up. Instead of handwriting it. I programmed it. But there are certain positions of the textboxes in which it should appear.

My big problem is that how could I set the margin of the Report Viewer to 0?

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim instance As New PageSettings()
Dim value As New Margins(0, 0, 0, 0)

instance.Margins = value
rv242CEWE.SetPageSettings(instance)

Thanks!

I've never used ReportViewer, but I found this post:

set page layout for report viewer...

The following is converted and and adapted for VB .NET:

Dim myPageSettings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings()

myPageSettings.Margins =  New System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0)

Dim paperSize As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize = New System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize()

'ToDo: update with the PaperKind 
'that your printer uses
paperSize.RawKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.Letter

'paperSize.RawKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.A4

myPageSettings.PaperSize = paperSize

'False for "Portrait"
'True for "Landscape"
myPageSettings.Landscape = False

Me.ReportViewer1.SetPageSettings(myPageSettings)

Me.ReportViewer1.RefreshReport()

However, it's untested, so not sure if it works or not.

It's not working :(

Your page margins are subject to the limitations of your printer. Check what the minimum margins are for your printer. Also ensure you've specified the correct paper size.
