Could someone suggest a way to convert Unit of Inches to pixels. I've tried to get UnitConvert.ConvertTo going but if I understand correctly I need to plug in a EnumTypeConverter but the class is not public.

Thanks,
Jason

I couldn't find a good way of doing this.  I've pulled the code out of unit.cs for ChangeType and made it public instead of internal.

Hello Jafin,

Conversion from Inches to pixels is straightforward. Since the pixels are device dependent units, you need the device resolution (DPI - dots per inch) and the calculation is like this:
Inches x DPI = Pixels
Pixels / DPI = Inches

DPI varies across different devices. For example the display's is usually 96 dpi while printers may have 300 or 600 dpi.

Sincerely yours,
