i am convert a image to pdf using pdfsharp lib. i need to set margin & page size so i got a trick from this forum to set page size and margin. from here i got code which i used but getting error for two area. here is code which i got.

page = document.AddPage();
//page.Size = PdfSharp.PageSize.A4;
XSize size = PageSizeConverter.ToSize(PdfSharp.PageSize.A4);
if(page.Orientation == PageOrientation.Landscape)
{
   page.Width  = size.Height;
   page.Height = size.Width;
}
else
{
   page.Width  = size.Width;
   page.Height = size.Height;
}

// default unit in points 1 inch = 72 points
page.TrimMargins.Top = 5;
page.TrimMargins.Right = 5;
page.TrimMargins.Bottom = 5;
page.TrimMargins.Left = 5;

i got a error for this line

XSize size = PageSizeConverter.ToSize(PdfSharp.PageSize.A4);

System.Drawing.Size size = PageSizeConverter.ToSize(PdfSharp.PageSize.A4);
