Is there a way to detect the actual width of text in a vb.net web app? It needs to be dependant upon its font-style and size.
In vb6 you could copy the text into a label and make it expand to fit then measure its width, but this won't work in vb.net.

I'm using the next class to fill my listview
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class ListViewData
Public Sub FillListView(ByRef MyListView As ListView, _
[code]....
I want all the listview columns to be in auto width. I tried adding the next line of code but then only my first column fills my entering listview width. All other columns are not affected!
lvwColumn.Width = -2
What I am trying to do is fill the contents of the datagridview with the cell contents. There are two ways to do this.
1) Either set the DGV width to the cell contents width, or
2) Autoadjust the width of the cells to the width of the DGV.
how to implement either of these two approaches?
This Winforms app has a toolStripComboBox within a MenuStrip container that displays Culture Info languages.The toolStripComboBox's width is not expanding to accommodate the size of the string. The strings are dynamically added to the combobox from underlying code. How do I get the comboboxe's width to expand? Below is an image of the'too narrow' combobox and below that the Properties for the combobox.
View 1 RepliesIn VB.NET for the combo box, I have set the autocomplete mode to "SuggestAppend" and autocomplete source to "ListItems". Its working as expected. But the width of the autosuggest dropdown box is not same as that of combo box and so it looks weird.I tried changing the value dropdown width property but it changes the value of normal dropdown box (seen after clicking down arrow on combobox), and not the autosuggest dropdown box.So what code or property needs to be set to make autosuggest dropdown box the same width as that of combobox width?
View 1 RepliesI am using VB Express 2005. I am helping a friend with uni assignment, and I want to be able to change the width of a text box for whatever value the user desires. SO I tried using another text box as input
eg
txtWidth.Text = txtBox.Width
(error)
Then made a label and tried
txtWidth.Text = lblWidth.Text
lblWidth.Text = txtBox.Width
It ran but always set the lbl to its original size, so that no matter what I inputted it set it to 143 (thats the size I made it originally). Keeping in my this is on Button click.
I have a drawing program written in VB6 that is capable of printing very thin lines to a laser printer. In VB .net, even though the pen width is set to 1, the thinnest lines are way too "thick". The equivalent line width in VB .net using a pen width of 1 is about the same as the DrawWidth = 4 in VB6. So, my question is, how can I print very thin lines to a laser printer in VB .net?

View 2 RepliesI need to write some fixed-width font (i.e Courier New or Consolas) text to a .net Winforms window in the Paint event - not using a label or any other winforms control - rather using a graphics object method to render the text onto the form's client area. I am having difficulty aligning text on different lines under headings even though it is fixed width font. How can I get a precise measurement of the width of a single character in the fixed-width font? How can I get 2 lines to print out aligned horizontally in successive text out calls?
For example:
Heading 1 Heading 2
Short Other text
A bit longer Still aligned?
I need a separate call to render each cell of text under Heading 2. For argument's sake - let's say column 1 items are printed in black and column 2 are printed in blue - we can't use the same text out call for the entire line.
I am writing some text in a control using Graphics.DrawString I need to measure the width of the drawn text in pixel.
I tried to mesure it using:
Graphics.MesureString
TextRenderer.MesureText
GetTextExtentPoint32A (API)
All these method of mesuring the string returns different values for the width, and they are all the wrong value They all mesure the narrow caracteres as "i" as being narrower then they realy are and the wide caractere as "W" as wider than they realy are What would the proper way to draw and/or mesure a string to get the right position on the screen where the text ends

View 6 RepliesI came to a company that already has a fully grown project... but coders that worked here before me didn't follow conventions and didn't use parametrized SQL queries... as a result there is over 1000 places in a very huge project that can possibly be vulnerable to SQL injection...
I need to find a solution that will automatically detect if there is an SQL injection in the code. So, for example there is a form which allows user to enter comments regarding a product, which will be sent to database on submit... how can we make sure that a user didn't enter a harmfull query instead of a normal text?
Is there any advanced code/regular expression/magic that can detect if this text contains a piece of SQL query instead of normal harmless text? I will accept any links, pieces of code in any language or even commercial software that will do that for me.

I am trying to load a text file into an Access 2007 table. I know you can read the file line by line and then create a record out of each line. i was trying to see if this could be done with an INSERT INTO rather than cyclying through all lines of text. My text file is not character delimited but rather by fixed column width. For example:[code]The data in the example has spaces for readability but in reality the data are clumped together like so [code]I cant figure out how to tell the command how the data is structured. I know you can use a schema file but there's got to be a way to do this all through code.
View 1 RepliesI need to limit the 1 line text entered in a XtraGrid repository editor to its column fixed width. I cannot use a monospaced font and MaxLenght because this field will be shown in a report.In KeyPress event handler I tried to create a Label, put the string on it and compare its PreferedSize. Width to the column's Width. It almost worked well but is not easy to control Paste operations if I have to remove the exceeding chars (f.ex.: if I change the text value, the cursor jumps to 0).I also tried using ActiveEditor. CreateGraphics. Measure String but cannot get it to draw(measure) the text the same way DevExpress does.If I could catch a Before_WordWrap event it would be a solution.
