How To Embed Background Picture Into Excel Report In
Dec 12, 2011
I'm trying to embed a background picture into an Excel file. Assuming I have an Excel report (see f.csv) below, I open it as an Excel, embed the picture and then save.I found the following code in one of the websites. It's working but still there is a problem that it always ask me to confirm the overwriting of the file. I want to save it automatically without asking the user about it, but can't find if that's possible. below I tried "SaveAs" and "Save" but it always ask me to confirm overwriting.

Is it possible to embed a picture into a form? Because when I use the picturebox, I dont like to use a website, cuse if the pic is viewed a lot of times, it gets deleted from the hosting site. So is thier anyway I can Put the pic in without using a directory from my computer (other users cant see it) and without loading from site (might run out of bandwidth)?

I made a simple RPG game for my project. I used windows form application. I set the background image of my form1 to a picture that is already a map. I used picture box for the MainCharacter and set it to transparent and I also put transparent background gif images whenever the keyevents.But my problem is, sometimes when I move the picture box using the keyevents, when the picture box passes through the background that has different color, you can see the boundery of the picturebox, and sometimes it is lag and cannot display the image in the picturebox. Im gonna work hard for this because the deadline of this project is next week. I am just a newbie and not good in graphics.
How can we set a background picture for a Form? When my form is loaded, I want to display a background picture and on closing, I need to release that from memory (free it).[code]
i have made a sql query that gets a users profile picture it comes out ok and the outcome of the it is the same names as the resources and i want to get the users picture from the resource using vb but it dont work so i have this so far..
I've been trying to make an image viewer that keeps top most while I do other things (like typing, etc), so I don't have to hop windows, or sacrifice screen real estate.I made a main form, and a configuration form (opened by pressing o), with options to set the main form's opacity (working), the picture displayed (as the form's backgound picture, not working), and if the main form stays top most or not (working).
Instead, the form just keeps displaying the image I set in the IDE.I first used a picture box to display the picture, which did not work, and decided I didnt need to have a picture box if I set the picture as the form's background picture.I tried looking at what could be going wrong, but couldnt find out much more than the path is being delivered to the main form.I'm working on Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2, VS2003, and here's the code.PS The code links to a D:ath-fin.jpg that I used as the default background picture, and the code is for 2 seperate forms.

Is it possible to give an image inside of a picture box a transparent background? Like, for example say i have a red circle on a white background, is it possible to make the white transparent?
I have already posted this question on the "reporting services" forum and received no responses, so i thought i'd give it a try here.
SQL server 2005 SP3, VS 2005, vb.net, RV control.
When i add a background image to the page header, body and page footer, The rendering takes about one second per page. Without the background images, it renders about 25-50 pages per second. My report is a statement print report and has about 1500 pages.
Since it is the same image on each page, why does the server need to send that image over and over again to the report viewer control?
In vb.net i have the Report Viewer control and i bring up a report in normal viewing mode. when i click on the print layout mode, or have that mode set up to be the default mode, It takes forever when i have a background image and virtually no time for the same report without the images. The images are gifs about 5 or 6k each. I have chosen to embed the image into the report.
How do i optimize the usage of background images so they do not interfere with the rendering speed? Or at least minimalize the slowdown.
[EDIT:] I have discovered that if i render it to PDF and open the PDF and page through the report, it is much much faster. In other words if i choose to render to 'printlayout', it is say 25 times slower than when i render it to default, and about 20 times slower then if i render it to PDF. And the PDF contains exact rendering for all pages, exactly the same rendering as the print layout mode generates.
i'm using VB 2010 and i'm trying to make a transparent images but without success .i draw 2 GIF pictures in Photoshop and save it as transparent.i put that GIF's in 2 pictureboxes on the form and the background of the pictures is really transparent, but when i try to put one picture in the top of the other one, the first picture cover the second one with the background color (and becuase it's transparent it's like the form color)
It detects the color fine and the picture background changes to the color my mouse is pointing at, but when it changes to one of the colors its ment to send me a msg it doesn't..[code]

How can I programmatically reset my form background from a picture to a solid color. I have no trouble changing it to a picture or even changing it to another picture, but when I try to change it back to a solid color, it won't work.
I'm making a program and in which the user can select a background image from their computer, but I have not found a way to save the picture to my.settings or my.resources
I am using background worker to report progress on the screen. In the Main.vb I have the following
Public Sub report(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles bwlistener.ProgressChanged Dim message As String = e.UserState logRTB.AppendText(message & vbCrLf) End Sub
When I call this from Main.vb I use: bwlistener.ReportProgress(0, "Some status text goes here") It works great. The problem is when I try to call it from any other module in my project.
When I call it OtherFile.vb: Main.bwlistener.ReportProgress(0, "Some status text goes here") It doesn't work... The program doesn't crash. Debug goes through everything but no output is actually shown to the end user.
How Would You Embed A picture or a file in another file...i know that u can serialize multiple pictures and stuff in a file but how would you embed it in like a file like microsoft does with a word document or powerpoint...also is it possible to embed a resource at runtime in vb.net?
I have an application where some data is stored automatically to Excel. However during the storage of data, the Excel spreadsheet is visible to the user. I need to know if there is any way to make the Excel run at the background.
I am trying to interface with excel in a vb.net windows app I am writting. Basically it imports csv files to a data table, adds some additional data from with a oledb datasource, creates a view to sort the data before pushing back in to a datatable and spitting it out to a listview. The list view then allows you to further filter and sort the data (or will do shortly but thats not an issue).From the data in the list there are then 2 options, it will either create individual reports for managers in a excel sheet, which it colour bands based on a total field and then emails out to the managers. This works fine.
The other feature is that it produces a summary report that goes to a central email account. Again it creates an excel workbook, adds 4 work sheets, copies all the data to a master sheet (sheet1), it then starts at the bottom of the master worksheet andcopies the total values from the total row for each employee and copies this value in to the next blank column. (This is basically used so I can determine based on the 3 score bandings which sheet each line should go on. The lines for an employee are madeup of individual leave lines and total line that has the summation of the individual lines for them).

I have one prob that i'm creating excel sheet runtime, loading data and printing excel sheet through my application. Actually it has 150 sheets to print.
i'm printing by using this code xla.Sheets.PrintOut(Copies:=1, Collate:=True)
To print 150 sheets , its taking around 17 min. so now the user is waiting until printing process finish(ie 17 min ) .
actually i don't want to make him wait, i want to execute this printing process in backgroud. so the user can work on other process in my app.
