Change Default Report Settings at Design Time
When you drop a StandardReportDesigner or RibbonReportDesigner component to your form, a XRDesignMdiController item appears on your form called reportDesigner1.
Click reportDesigner1 and switch to the Properties window. Expand the DefaultReportSettings group.
Here you can change the default settings for report pages. Reports created in End-User Designer copy their report settings from the DefaultReportSettings object.
Change Default Report Settings at Runtime
The code sample below illustrates how to create an End-User Designer instance and specify default report page settings.
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.Drawing.Printing;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner;
// ...
XRDesignForm form = new XRDesignForm();
XRDesignMdiController reportDesigner = form.DesignMdiController;
reportDesigner.DefaultReportSettings.PaperKind = DXPaperKind.Letter;
reportDesigner.DefaultReportSettings.Landscape = true;
reportDesigner.DefaultReportSettings.RollPaper = false;
reportDesigner.DefaultReportSettings.ReportUnit = ReportUnit.HundredthsOfAnInch;
reportDesigner.DefaultReportSettings.Margins = new System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(50, 50, 100, 100);
form.ShowDialog();
