### Description

Gets or sets the distance, in twips, of the left border line either from the edge of the page or from the text, depending on the [MeasureFromText](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/pageborder/measurefromtext-property/llms-full.txt) property.

### Syntax

```csharp
public int LeftDistance { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property LeftDistance As Integer
```

### Examples

The following example configures the page border of the first document section by using `PageBorder.LeftDistance`.

```csharp
PageBorder pageBorder = textControl.Sections[1].Format.PageBorder;

pageBorder.LeftDistance = 720;
Console.WriteLine($"Left Distance used by Page Border: {pageBorder.LeftDistance}");
```

```vbnet
Dim pageBorder As PageBorder = textControl.Sections(1).Format.PageBorder

pageBorder.LeftDistance = 720
Console.WriteLine($"Left Distance used by Page Border: {pageBorder.LeftDistance}")
```

### Remarks

The property's default value is [PageBorder.DefaultDistance](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/pageborder/defaultdistance-field/llms-full.txt).

The property returns its default value when the text selection contains multiple sections with mixed setting. The [Selection.IsCommonValueSelected](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/selection/iscommonvalueselected-method/llms-full.txt) method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
