Generating Standard Letters For End User To View And Print
Aug 8, 2009
Im developing an app at the moment where standard letters need to be generated to be sent out to customers. With the customers details then filled in as you would expect... name, title, address, etc. This is an app ontop of a SQL db. The way i envisioned this working was to send the customer details to another form that had a crystal report in, and send the info via a SQL query, just as you might get a grid view to open with a query.
Thing is im struggling with it, getting the query to work especially. Ive built the report and put the relevant field place holders in there, but i cant get it to open with just the one customers info in there, it gets every customer and builds a report several thousand pages long! This is because of the "command" thats on the report that i stuck in there on a temp basis while i designed the thing.
However i want the the report to open via a button on another form, and then fill the report with the customers details (using the customer ID number on the form the button was clicked) Since im struggling with this so much, im actually wondering if im going the best way about this? Are there better ways of generating a standard letter that the end user can then view, check it, and hit print?

I'm trying to add a print button to the License Agreement form in the installer system that is built into Visual Studio. I know how to do all the coding, I just need to know how to edit the visual layout of the installer, or whether this is even possible.

I'm converting a user generated list box to an array and then generating a user defined number of random strings and placing it in a textbox.The code I have works fine as it will generate the number of random strings the user wants, except sometimes a line is blank at the top of the list but is counted as a string.

I have been able to do the exercise's in the first 2 chapters and half the exercise's in the third chapter of the text book (programming in visual basic 2008, Julia Case Bradley & Anita C. Millspaugh). but this one is making my head want to explode. please point me in the right direction with this.
Heres the problem. The company has instituted a bonus program to give its employees an incentive to sell more. For every dollar the store makes in a four-week period, the employees receive 2 percent of sales. The amount of bonus each employee receives is based upon the percentage of hours he or she worked during the bonus period (a total of 160 hours). The Calculate button will determine the bonus earned by this employee, and the Clear button will clear only the name, hours-worked, and bonus amount fields. A Print button allows the user to print the form. Do not allow missing or bad input data to cancel the program; instead display a message to the user.
Here's my code so far. its giving me the wrong results. i have tried many different ways,(hence the commented code) but I just dont know where im going wrong.
Public Class VB_Sales
Const BONUSHOURS As Decimal = 160

My app (which runs ok as a standard user) requires updates to be installed, but I don't want to have to input the administrator username/password each time nor do I want to increase user privileges to administrator.
I have a windows service which handles the downloading of updates etc (running as Local System) but the start command needs to come from the main app (running as a standard user). This is not permitted and I get Access Denied.
I understand why this is happening but is there an alternative way to achieve this? I want to handle program updates as the standard user without using ClickOnce or installing to a non Program Files folder.

I am a beginning programmer and am tying to add a database to my visual basic 2005 express program. I have a nice working window but now a database needs to be attached. Following the add items and selecting the sqldatabase icon (and change the name) I get the following message: "Generating user instances in SQLServer is disabled. Use sp-configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances". I am trying for 2 days to find out what to do.
Aparently, all the solutions on the internet are for wizards but not for apprentences. I hope to become a computer wizzard but are far from it now. I scanned my computer for the file sp-configure but it does not exist. I tried sp_configure as a DOS command, checked all VB menu options to find etc. On the internet the language is out of my league and jumps too quickly.

I'm attempting to learn VB in college. My first project is to create a program in Small Basic and then write it in Visual Basic. I'm looking for the equivalent of TextWindow.ReadNumber() from Small Basic in Visual Basic. I want to force the user to input a number not letters. I'm writing this program for the Console. Is this possible? During my testing I entered a word instead of numbers and the program crashed.

Im working on writing a program for doing standard deviation and as of right now im running into one slight issue with subtracting my mean from the original numbers. I will post most of my code so you can get an over view but i mostly just want help on this one little part for now. Im going to be making a website for school and put some programming stuff on it so i wanted to make just some random programs for it so this is school related but not really homework. It's line 26 and 27 that this is relating to. When i put a stop in my code and look at the result of arrayDifferences it gives me 0.0 when it should be -1. I know i can go this route and say arrayDifferences(1) = arrayDifferences(1) - arrayAvg but seeing as how i want this to be a random number of numbers input by the user i cant do that.

I'm having trouble with the Try...Catch code. I'm trying to make the textboxes only accept letters A, B, C, or D as answers from the user. I'm also having trouble matching the two arrays. I wanted it to be like if textbox1 is A then it is correct but in a loop. Please take a look at my code.

I usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.
i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.
so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.

I am trying to figure out how to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.My script always begins with:function Init (Quest)Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.[code]I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.Is there anyone that can explain how I would go about doing this. Or maybe some kind of visual studio plugin that will help me out.

How to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic. My script always begins with:
Code:
function Init(Quest)
Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.
Ex:
Code:
RegisterQuest(Quest, "Kill Zombies", "Heritage", "Firestorm")
end
This part a user would enter in his interface what would an NPC say if accepted.
[Code] .....
What I need is a few text boxs that a user can input "Kill Zombies" or whatever they like and when they push a generate button it will create a file with a .quest extension. All of the code remains the same except for the quotes that would be the user input from the interface. Basically everything in quotes can be changed by the user in an interface. I have created my own functions for when a user accepts, deny and complete a quest. The user just needs to input what should happen then click a generate button to throw it all together as a .quest file to be saved in his or her quest folder for the server to call on later.
I also have many other functions like:
AddQuestRewardFaction --- (Quest, Faction ID, Amount)
AddQuestRewardCoin --- (Quest, Copper, Silver, Gold, Plat)
AddQuestStepObtainItem --- (Quest, Step ID, Description, Quantity, Percentage, TaskGroupText, Item ID(s))
Etc
I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.

Wondering what is the best method of viewing a pdf, and adding text to the pdf, then printing it out? Currently, I opened the pdf in Photoshop, saved it as a bitmap, made it the background image on a form, overlayed it with labels, and am using the form.print method. This isnt exactly the best way to do this. Does anyone else have any good suggestions (without spending more than say $40)?
Project Background:
I work for an aircraft manufacturer/maintainer, and every time we have a broken/removed part, I have to log into our part logistics website, then hand write a form with all the installed and broken parts info (a full page). My program parses all the necessary info from the website, then loads it into textboxes (to be modified if needed) which are then copied into the labels overlaying the image of the form I have to fill out.

I have a form with a datagridview on it. And whenever the user clicks a button on the bottom, a very small form pops up that has a set of checkboxes. After the user clicks print on that little form I want it to print the datagridview on the first form and whatever checkboxes the user checked off on the top right hand side of the datagridview. I've gotten it to print the datagridview itself. But how can I get the 2nd form to print with the datagrid view.

I have a project where the user can view the print preview after finish using it. But after the 1st print preview is closed, when the 2nd time the user want to view the new print preview, the last is also shown. I don't want to have it closed everytime I want to print preview the new one. I've tried ".Refresh" but it doesn't work. This is my code.

I am currently using DevExpress 10.2 within Visual Studio 2010. I am printing the contents of the GridControl (with both one and two GridViews contained within). This shows all the current visible columns (and not the invisible columns) and all the data in a viewable manner.
My issue is the print preview always shows all the grouped rows and the master-detail rows fully expanded. I want to make it so that if the user has none of the groups or rows expanded then the print preview displays the grid with none of the groups or rows expanded. Also if the user expands the first group and rows fully then only the first group and rows will be expanded in the print preview and none other.

I am trying to add a TabPage containing a UserControl to a TabControl at runtime, because the number of TabPages to add are determined at runtime.
The UserControl (objDataInfo) is just two Textboxes, two labels and two Radiobuttons, nothing too exciting...
The TextBoxes have their Anchor properties set to Left, Up, Right so they scale with the width of the usercontrol.
The TabPages are added in the constructor of the form, which takes the number of tabpages to create (n) as an argument:
vb.net
Dim cList As List(Of objDataInfo)
Public Sub New(ByVal n As Integer)
[Code]....
So... How can I get the standard BackColor of a standard TabPage?
(I tried leaving out the usercontrol all-together, but the TabPage still has a gray background...)
