How To Fill A Word Document Using Visual Basic / Visual C#
May 24, 2011
I'm looking for options to fill a Word Document from either Visual Basic, or Visual C#. I'm currently using merge fields, and the code below to fill specific fields in a Word Document, but now I've run into a situation where I need tabular data pushed to MS Word. Is there anyway to take data from a grid view (number of rows is dynamic), and import it into a Word Document Table using a merge field or something of that sort? I have to maintain the format of my template doc, and would like to be able to control the layout of the page
I need to open an MS Word document and insert a picture to it using VisulaBasic 2008 by clicking on a button. I tried the automation code provided at this link [URL] but I can't find how to do what I want.
i realise that currently there is not built-in class for the checking of the current user folder in visual basic .net. anyone can advised the workaround for this. E.g. if user123 login to the machine, the code will return "c:useruser123"
I am making a Help-form for my application. A Help-form normally has a ListView on the left and a RichTextbox on the right. When you click on a Help topic in the ListView, the text in the RichTextbox is supposed to change accordingly. The text file is part of the application's resources.
I have created an application in VB.net 2010, I have an SQL database that I want to gram some data from: Then Create a word document with that data and save it to a given location, this is what I got so far.
Process.Start("Outlook.exe") Dim oApp As Outlook.Application Dim oEmail As Outlook.MailItem
[Code].....
This gets the file and attaches it to an email. I have created another button that is called CreateReport_btn when this is clicked I want to get the last data from the sql database and insert it into a word document.
My program splits a mulitpage tiff file (batch of purchase orders from Sage MMS)into separate files by doing OCR and using the MODI functions.My code has three main loops. 1st loop goes through each of the pages and splits the tiff into separate tiff files based on order number and stores them in a directory. for each order i also create an array of information by doing OCR from the tiff ie. order number, customer etc etc. 2nd loop goes through the array. for each order number in the array checks to see if there is another tiff file existing in another directory. This could be a separate sheet which needs to be attached to the main purchase order and comes from a document scanner in another office.If there is an additional file i merge that tiff file with the current tiff file. 3rd loop goes through the array once more and uses the microsoft faxcomexlib to faxed the files using my server 2003 fax serverthe 3 loops work perfect and very fast and i can send the faxes no problem.
I also add all the array information into an access database so historical purposes.My problem:In the first loop i need to check that the fax has not already been sent. (users can reprint orders so need to be careful that fax isnt sent more than once) I do this by getting the order number and querying the database. If the order does not exist then i can proceed else i prompt the user to refax yes or no.i have put the database connection and sql in a function which returns true or false. however when i add the function to my main loops i get a file lock on the current order. If i remove the function my code works perfect.

I am looking for special tag codes that can be used to define certain words in a diffierent font format, like bold, italic, etc. I have a special command that accepts initial tag and end tag to these special words.So, these tags must be interpreted by textbox in VB to turn some words in bold, for instance, and change back to normal font after those words.
The command I have is:
textbox.text = data_base_name.FieldByName("field_name").HighlightedString(index as long, start_tag as string, end_tag as string)
The effect in the textbox should be like this:
Example of special word in bold.Any one knows about the existance of these special tag codes? I wonder if there is something like old DOS Codes, or ANSI, that can be recognized in VB textboxes.

In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.
I am trying to make a console program in Visual Basic on Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask the user of the program if he wants the premium version or the standard version. If he chooses the premium version, then I want it to say premium in his "receipt" later on and if he chooses standard, then standard in the receipt.
I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and I'm trying to make it so I can click a button to send the application to the System Tray and then click the icon in the System Tray to make the application come back.
Can anyone provide me a method or sample code to do this?
when the user clicks on the add button another form launches, which enables the user to add student info such as name, address, course, start date and end date, this information is then written to class when the ok button on that form is clicked, and then displays the data on the initial form in data grid. the user can add multiple entries and they are all displayed on the intial form and a the data grid is populatedwhen any of the rows in the displayed grid is selected, and the update button is clicked then the same form launches as the previous one and but this time its in the update mode and pre populates the form with the inital values.
I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
I have visual studio 2008 installed and was using C#. I am now trying to find Visual Basic. I can't find it. Is there a way to download it or should it be somewhere in my visual studio program? I don't want to use vbexpress, just regular VB 2008.
