[FIXED] How to set the source of paper for a printer?

Issue

I want choose a custom source of paper when printing.
I wrote this code:

PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = domainUpDown1.SelectedItem.ToString();

int i = 1;

foreach (int x in consent)
{
    pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(this.pd_PrintPage);
    pd.PrinterSettings.Copies = Convert.ToInt16(x);
    pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = PaperSourceKind.Upper;
   // MessageBox.Show(pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource.ToString());
    if (x != 0)
    {
        pd.Print();
    }
    i++;
}

but

pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = PaperSourceKind.Upper;

causes this error:

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSourceKind' to 'System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource'

Solution

The reason you're getting an error is because you are trying to assign PaperSourceKind.Upper (which is an enum of type PaperSourceKind) to pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource (which is a class of type PaperSource).

Instead, try

pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = new PaperSource() { RawKind = (int)PaperSourceKind.Upper };
