.net - Formatting Writeline Output In VB 2010?
Mar 14, 2012
I have been searching for a way to format output using writeline/write (streamwriter)using RTF tags and wondering if there is a syntax for this, if it exists. I have not been able to find a resource which clearly explains how to "pretty" up output sent to a file.
The reason why I am asking is because I want to "print" results from my program into a file that, at the very least, would be centered, tabbed and even bolded where possible without requiring the user to go and futz with it. I think I saw that Crystal Reports won't work with VB 2010 Express and, quite frankly, just want to create a file with output.

in VS 2008, I started a new VB console project, using default options. I wrote this simple program:
Module Module1
Sub Main() Dim ArrayOfInts() As Integer
ArrayOfInts = New Integer() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
[Code].....
However, I cannot find the output from the calls to writeline. Not in the Output window, not in the Immediate window and not in the console output.
Or, do I need to do something extra to get these to appear?

I have a fellow employee who is learning Visual Basic and in one of her assignments she is using the debug.writeline statement. Example: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Debug.WriteLine("This line always prints") End Sub When you run the program, nothing prints to the Output window. I have tried it in VS2008 and VS2010. Brian Allison

I'm having trouble lining up data from a file with their respectable columns in a list box. I am using print zones to space out data evenly, but when i run the program the output is still messy. So I need lining up columns properly together. As of now, the first 2 list box items line up with each other perfectly, the data i am looping through to add to list box is not lining up correctly. I have changed my zones several times, but still no luck.
A chunk of my code (some) :
Dim fmtstr1 As String = "{0,-5} {1,20} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
Dim fmtstr2 As String = "{0,-5} {1,20} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
Dim fmtstr3 As String = "{0,-5} {1,10} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
[CODE]...

Ex) Dim fmtstr as string="{0,15}{1,10}{2,8}" if I understand correctly the leftmost number is the zone number and the number to the right is the character width?

Is there a rule of thumb used to set the character width of a zone?
For example:
Dim fmtstr As String = "{0,-10}{1,12}{2,14}{3,12}"
lstcolleges.Items.Clear()
lstcolleges.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtstr, "College", "enrollment", "endowment", "public ss"))
This will align the text nicely into a list box. How do I determine how to set the character width?

So I'm attempting to get three variable to print in a string, but I can't figure out how to make the Concat or Join commands to work properly. I've tried assigning the strings to a defined string variable and then "concatting" that and trying to do it in one big line. I keep getting an error either way. Here's what I have so far:
Str1 = PaymentNumInteger
Str2 = NewBalanceDecimal.ToString("C")
Str3 = MonthlyIntPayDecimal.ToString("C")

I am building an XML string programatically using the XmlWriter ...
sb = New StringBuilder()
writer = XmlWriter.Create(sb)
writer.WriteStartDocument()
[Code]......
I want to be able to output the XML to a TextBox control on a ASP.NET webform. When I do output the XML I don't get any line breaks or indentation in the XML. The XmlWriter does not seem to have any properties to set formatting. Is there anyway to retain formatting and indentation?

I would like to have my output in columns, and the numbers in two digit after the decimal.
I am writing a data validation app where the app asks the user for input like give me a number of double type: and hopefully the user will comply.
But the app will test some validation rules and then:
1) if the user simply pressed enter the app will tell the user all sorts of reasons why the input was rejected. And that part should look like a table with columns for the entry, if it passed true, otherwise false and then the reason line empty input. Or this number is a string.

How to format numbers in VB.Net. All I want is properly inserted commas in my final output. Such as:
lvwItem.SubItems.AddRange(New String() {ConvertToMegabytes(CULng(LogicalDrive.TotalSize)).ToString})
I have three functions which I use to convert various numbers to MB GB and TB. I would like to have the final output number be properly formatted with commas as necessary.
Private Function ConvertToMegabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " MB"
End Function
Private Function ConvertToGigabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " GB"
End Function
Private Function ConvertToTerabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " TB"
End Function

I'm working on a console application that needs to write a line until a certain value is met and than do the same backwards until another value is met.
The line need to be 51 spaces wide, start and end with the pipe ("|") character and have a cross ("X") character in between.
I can only define both the characters once.
The result needs to be something like this:
|X_________X|
|_X_______X_|
|__X_____X__|
|___X___X___|
|____X_X____|
|_____X_____|
And then from the last line on, go back to form a big X on the screen and start over again, going over and over until a key is pressed.

Simple question that does not seem to be covered: If I use a lot of Debug.WriteLine statements in my code, will they be completely absent in my production version?
I mean: Is the compiler smart enough to not emit any code for those calls? Or would I have to surround them by #if DEBUG..#end if directives?

I've developed a MySQL chat app that I have in my program. It works perfectly, however all of the text is the same color. I use a silver-on-black scheme. I'd like to do 1 of 2 things, whichever one is.. er.. "more possible". The first option would be simple - alternate each row's back color. So that one row would be silver-on-black, the next row would be black-on-silver, and so on alternating. Each row is separated by a "vbCrLf". The second option would be to merely bold or turn to white the info text. Here's the format of the chat messages: [{time} - {user}] {message}. I would want [{time} - {user}] to be bold and white. Are either of those 2 options possible? Well, I know they're possible

When a certain form (containing a datagridview (dgv)) is first loaded, the dgv cell formatting event is triggered by the line
dgv_WorkHistory.DataSource = ds_WorkHistory.Tables(0).DefaultView This successfully adds some background colour to a few cells in the displayed table. After this the next line of code is executed. The problem is that if I then try to load a different table (by choosing one from a listbox), the new table displays OK but without the desired formatting. Why?
Stepping through the code I find first of all that when I click on the listbox the dgv cell formatting event is instantly raised (immediately, even before any code in the listbox click event is executed). Why does clicking on the listbox trigger the cell formatting event?
Then, when execution reaches the line quoted above for the second time (remember it triggered cell formatting the first time round) it doesn't this time trigger it. The next line of code is executed instead. Why has the behaviour changed?

I have a program that creates a excel spreadsheet and a chart on each tab from extracted data in various .txt files. Before the chart is created, two of the excel columns will end up with data like this: on column 9 and 10. I also use data (time, looks like 09:15) in column 11 that shows the time at the bottom of the chart. There are just too many digits in the output and the readability looks bad so I can also convert.
Input Output
800400047320000
825400047120000
[code]....
The chart will display those values just fine but, normally the conversion in code that I do during the placement of that data (so it reads a bit better) looks like this:
'Convert bit to Kbit
If InRate.Length < 7 Then
InRate = CDbl(InRate) / 1000 & " Kbit"
[code]....
how to make the chart work with just numbers and ignore the MB or Kbit at the end?

I have set up a form that will act as my parent (this hasnt been set up as an MDI).On this form I have a Panel that I will be loading forms into. I have a form that contains a DGV. On the load of the parent form, I then load this "child" form into the Panel. In the onLoad event of the "child" I go off to the database and populate my DGV. Then I run through the rows in the DGV and add in a logo image in the first column and change some cell colors based on values in those cells.
This all works great, however, when the child form finishes loading all the changes are lost. eg The logo images go back to the red cross and the cell coloring is gone.If I call Me.Refresh() in the child window as the last line in its Form_load event I can see the logo and cell colors update to what I want, but as soon as it has updated, its like it immediately refreshes again and all the changes are gone.

I'm updating a program that was written in an older version of VB (by someone else) and I can't figure out to how replicate this data entry line in my Form.
Each textbox can be changed and there is a nice scroll bar at the bottom to move left and right as you enter each datapoint.
I tried using multiple tabs within a Panel and setting the Appearance to FlatButtons, but the text area under each tab gets covered when you select another tab.

I need to take a string of any length & make it exactly 5 characters long by either truncating it or padding it or neither. So "abcdefgh" becomes "abcde", "abcde" stays "abcde" & "abc" becomes "abc " (2 spaces at the end).
I currently use this line of
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(myString, 5).PadRight(5, " "c)
it works, but it seems very hackish.
