public class UnitConverter

Remarks

This class provides three static methods which enables you to convert:

Device-dependent units (pixels) -> device-independent units (like inches, centimeters, etc). See the method ConvertPixelsToUnits(Single, Int32, Unit).
Device-independent units -> device-dependent units. See the method ConvertUnitsToPixels(Single, Single, Unit).
One device-independent units -> another device-independent units. See the method ConvertUnitsToUnits(Single, Single, Unit, Unit).

All these method require a parameter called resolution - a number of pixels in one inch (dots per pixel - DPI). Typically this parameter depends on the resolution you are going to get when printing the image (e.g. 300 or 600 DPI). Also, it can be a screen resolution (as usual, 96 DPI).
