First you have to decide about the measurment system of the client machine:Then if the system is metric you have to multiply the document margins by 2.54 to convert it to mm.VB Code:
' Decide if the measurement system of the current user is Metric (millimiter in PageSetupDialog or inches. ' There is a dotnet way to read the measurement system of the current culture-for example US culture is associated ' with US measurments (inch)-but that way wont reflect the user override of regional seetings in control panel. ' So read the registry value that shows the measurement system. If the value is not present at all, as in Win98SE ' or the value is 1 then its inches, and if 0 then its Metric. Dim rgkey As RegistryKey, s As Integer Try rgkey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Control Panel").OpenSubKey("International") If rgkey.GetValue("iMeasure") = Nothing Then s = 1 Else s = CByte(rgkey.GetValue("iMeasure")) End If Catch ex As System.Exception s = 1 Finally rgkey.Close() End Try
