I have made a simple data entry program, and I need to add a print option so that the info can be printed on a predefined layout. Is there a tutorial on how to do that? I know in MS Access is a form design. but I do not see such a function in VB 2008 Express Edition?
View 5 RepliesAnyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to do these from a simple text box. i.e. 'TextBox1'.
I'm just learning VB and it's only a simple text editor but I can't find any good sites or posts that help me in understanding how to do it. These are not really covered in any of the 'beginner' books I have acquired either.
So, today I was programming, and then right clicked and noticed a 'Insert Snippet' option. I've seen it before, but never clicked it. I thought this was an amazing thing. It had predefined code which auto inserts. Was just letting some of our other members know, that it does include some predefined things such as 'Write to a text file', etc.

In other languages (PHP/Python), I am used to creating a class which represents a given HTML page layout. These classes can have an unlimited number of attributes and dynamic features, such as Navigation (multi level), error messages, info messages, footer text, etc... Most of these items have defaults, but may be overridden on a per-page level. For example:

My question is: how do I implement similar functionality into ASP.Net MVC 3 Razor (VB)? So far, I have been able to see how you can use ViewData to pass various bits of data to a view. Also, I have been working with strongly typed views. Frankly, I'm not sure who's job it is to have this logic, the controller or the view (or is there a model that should be in there somewhere). Here is a summary of what I am shooting for:
A single place to initialize the default values for the layout (like the first layer of navigation, etc...) Strongly typed attributes, such as Public Readonly Property Nav1 as List(of NavElement) And a single place to render these layout elements (I assume _Layout.vbhtml) forgive the here-and-there of this post... I'm trying to figure out the "right way" it's done on a platform that is both new (Razor) and new to me (ASP.Net MVC).

I am creating a program that make a person select different options and in other boxes it will populate the choice the person makes. Example is the program is fora car wash and if you choose standard or deluxe it will show in the other boxes what comes with that package.I got the program to work except when going to select a different option it still keeps the old info and displays the new info as well. I tried like at the bottom of the procedure Exteriorlist.Items.clear() and it would clear and never display the info. I am still working on the project I am trying to get the print option working properly I am just needing help in figuring out how to clear the info when I select a different package.
Public Class CarWash7
Const EXTERIOR1_String As String = "Hand Wash"
Const EXTERIOR2_String As String = "Hand Wax"

View 1 RepliesI am trying to implement a custom printing solution for a client. What he wants is to have one button print a certain set of info to a specific printer and specific printer tray, connected to the client machine. Another button will print a similar set of info, to the same printer, but a different tray.
One tray is preloaded with regular 8.5"x11" paper, and the other is loaded with legal paper, 8.5"x14". I've found some instructions on how to do this: [URL]. So, I've implemented the code, and am able to enumerate the printers attached to the client machine, and their trays.
I've setup some web.config settings for the client to enter the names of his printer and specific trays (in this case, tray 1 and tray 3). This code I've written runs and works correctly, printing the document without error. The problem I am having is that even though I have selected the tray for legal paper, all the info instead prints on regular paper, the printer seems to be ignoring my instruction to print onto legal paper.
Here is the code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
....
Private printFont As Font
Private ds As dsSummons
Private formToPrint As FormType

I'm programming a basic slot machine in Visual basic, and want to use a for loop to randomly choose the image for each slot, display the image in each slot, and change the slotName variable (so I can check later on which symbols are in the slots) for each slot. The problem I'm finding with a for loop is that the variables and objects for each slot have different names (slot1Name, slot2Name, slot3Name, lblSlot1, lblSlot2, lblSlot3, etc). Is there any way I could have could something like:
currentSlotName = "slot" & i & "Name"
This is the code at the moment, this code is repeated (with different variable and object names), for each of the 3 slots, which is pretty inefficient.
' Randomise numbers and assign images to slots based on random numbers, if the hold isn't on
' Slot 1
If Not held1 Then
slot1Value = Int(Rnd() * numbersGenerated + 0.5)
Select Case slot1Value

I'm working on a little board game we play here in Jamaica just to see how it would look and as a sort of challenge for myself while on vacation. I'm however stuck on how to make my markers (PictureBoxes - two per player) move along the board.So heres my problem; I have 40 slots where the picturebox can be moved to (eg picturebox1.Top = 324, picturebox1.left=243). Now moving to these slots are determined by the roll of a pair of dice. How can I assign a variable preferably an integer for each slot so when the dice is rolled I can just do a little addition as to where the markers can be moved?

at formload i want these items in the checkedlistbox to be selected.
is there a way other than selecting these item by looping through the items in listedcheckedbox.

I am writing a mvc 3 application and part of its function is to send out confirmation emails along with an assortment of other emails.. I have the body's for the different types of emails stored in a database table.. Getting the values out of the table and dropping them in a email body using System.Net.Mail isnt a problem at all... What I need to do is somehow put somekind of variable marker in the body which is in the database table and then somehow parse the body text when its dropped into the email body to find the variable marker and put the correct value in it's spot..Code snippet of what I have so far is below:
Keep in mind that this will be a rather large body and there are a few places values will have to be dropped in.. I was thinking of having it use something like this:
Long mail body ^^Name^^ has been approved for classes starting on ^^Date^^ at the ^^Place^^ located in ^^Location^^..
When the code loades the text from the body when ever it comes across a variable marked with ^^ it would put the correct information in its place...
Dim _content As email = db.emails.Where(Function(f) f.ref_name = "Confirmation")
Dim _body As String = _content.email_body.ToString
Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()

View 1 RepliesAs an update to a program I had made awhile back, I am trying to auto-resize the image to meet the requirements of my application without having to manually do it elsewhere. I already can adjust the quality/compression for disk storage, but I want to resize the image so I can save the quality of the image.
So how do I resize an image to 1920*1080. (I want to check the image first to make sure that the image is in fact larger then 1080p before I resize it.)
I'd really like the solution to work in a DLL project so that I can move my application from the Windows Forms to the WPF UI.
