System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize.Rawkind in version 1.1

Hi
Is it in any way possible to get access to the property
System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize.Rawkind in version 1.1

I can see that it has been made public in 2.0 +

A solution is of course to use the win32 method DeviceCapabilities, but I
would like to avoid that.

Hi Paul,

If you really want to avoid using DeviceCapabilities, you could use
reflection to get the private variable "kind" of the PaperSize in 1.1 (you
could learn the implementation detail of this class using Reflector
(http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/) ).

private int GetRawKind(PaperSize psize)
{
    Type t = psize.GetType();
    FieldInfo fi = t.GetField("kind", BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Instance);
    return (int)fi.GetValue(psize);
}

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
