View 2 RepliesI'm currently building an intranet engine for a project I've got on the go at the moment,and I'd like to save myself a little time by generating header images from code where possible, however, I'd like it to match our concept image.What I'd like to achieve is below:My issue is I've not the faintest how to create that from code. I can do the absolute basics but that's about it.I start to fall down when it comes to the gradient background and the drop shadow on the text. I can get away with positioning the text on the larger header image, so if it's not possible to generate the exact gradient I have there, then I have a work around for that, but what I really want to achieve is the text with the font and drop shadow.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there is any advantage to do everything programmatically instead of using design view to create forms, controls etc. Would there be any difference in size and/or performance after you compile it? So far I've been doing pretty much everything programmatically, specifying all the properties that aren't default for my forms controls but I am starting to wonder is there are any advantages to this, apart from making it easier (sometime) to manage and change the behavior of my controls.

I have a .NET dll which I use from a C++ program. Now I have to register the dll programmatically on a deployment computer. How do i do that (programmatically! not using regasm)? I remember, when I once called a VB6 dll from a C++ dll, I had to use DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer. Is that still so with a .NET dll? It seems I have to somehow add the dllregisterserver function to the .NET dll.
View 3 RepliesI have a customer that needs to convert XLS files to XLSB. Has anyone done this programatically, (with or without an add-on --- doesn't matter --- just need to be able to automate it)? I'm looking for a way to automate this.
As a side note, the customer is asking about this because they use Sharepoint, and it seems it has a way to analyze XLSB files quicker and easier than XLS??? I'm working to improve my Sharepoint knowledge, but in the meantime, I'm trying to find an answer to this XLSB issue.

View 5 RepliesI've written an interface with a 3rd party web service in VB.NET. The final step in that interface involves the 3rd party delivering to us (as a stream) a PDF document. After streaming is complete I save a copy of the PDF on our servers, so that our users can view the PDF by clicking on a link in our system. The PDF opens fine in Acrobat X, but when I try to open it programatically I an error saying that "the file is damaged and could not be repaired". I can also open the file in IE just fine, with no issues, and the same code that displays this PDF works just fine on lots of other existing PDFs that predate the 3rd party interface.
I have emptied out temporary internet files as suggested in some posts I saw online. I also opened the PDF in Notepad++ and the %PDF tag is first, and the %%EOF tag is last, so there's certainly no corruption visible in the document source that I can see. Below is the (very standard) code we use to open PDFs into a separate browser instance on our site:
PDFFile = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & Request.QueryString("LetterPath") & Request.QueryString("Letter")
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.BufferOutput = True

View 1 Repliesim trying to find a better way to end the application im working on right now programatically, sometimes a user simple wants to end it all and since in the properties of my project the program is set to only end after all forms have been closed, (oddly enough i close all forms and it still is executing so i use dispose method and then end) what would be the best way to end the application and free pc memory for everything attached to it? i use:
form1.dispose()
form2.dispose()
form3.dispose()
me.dispose()

Using <System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(GetType(System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter))> _
on the declaration of a class (which is a property of another class) that consists of a number properties.
I load an instance of this class with simply ...
PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = oColumn
Obviously I don't want to manually build the propertygrid in code, I know how to do that.
But here's the problem. Depending on the value of a property, certain other properties should not be visible, as though I'd used the <System.ComponentModel.Browsable(False)> _
attribute on the property declaration.Is there anyway to do this programmatically, without having to handle all the building of the property grid manually>

View 1 RepliesI have a datagridview named "DG" bound to a datatable. The grid has one column that requires me to determine its value, so the grid has the virtual mode property set to true.When i try to add using the dg.rows.add, i get a message saying 'operation not valid while in virtual mode'.If i set the virtual mode to false and execute the dg.rows.add line i get."Rows cannot be programatically added to the datagrid's rows collection when the control is databound"Ok....i cannot use rows.add when in virtual mode,.....and i cannot use rows.add when i am in data-bound mode.So then next thing i try is ctype(dg.datasource,datatable).rows.add , This gets the row into both the underlying table as well as the into a new row located at the bottom of the grid.
I try this: dg.sort(dg.columns("Row"),ascending) and get this "Operation is not supported when VirtualMode is set to true." i try seting virtual mode to false and get this: "Data-bound DataGridView control can only be sorted on data-bound columns."The column "Row" IS a column in the underlying table.If i click on the column header it sorts correctly.All i want to do is add arow and have it be located in the correct place in the sort order.
