How To Merge Different Document Types And Show As Stack In .NET Application
Jan 30, 2012
Suppose in .NET (don't care what language) I want to show a user a PDF, Word and Excel file together. I am trying to replicate a document process where a user might have a PDF file and he would like to attach a WORD file and an Excel file let's say to make a stack of documents (that I would save in some directory). Then he would like to click on a button and see a stack of these documents in 1 application of some sort.How can I display the stack of documents WITHOUT first opening WORD, then openinig EXCEL and then openining ADOBE ACROBAT - this would be really annoying for the user. I would like one unified application or some idea to mimic one in .NET that can just show all 3 documents as if they were printed one after the other on paper. (I hope I am explaining this clearly)
Basically im at university and we have a motion capture system. you know the sort. silly lycra suits with dots on them used to animate 3d characters for film etc. this system costs upwards of 70,000 and if you use a prop in your take it generates 2 files which you must edit manually which is a pain if you do it wrong.[code]...
I have a macro where I send a confirmation e-mail per line out of Excel. I can attach a document with a fixed location (let's say a map stored at c:map.jpg) but I have a problem attaching a document that is specific to the recipient. [code]...
Is the code correct? Or is there a trick what to do with the cell content?
I'm editing a vb.net app for a mate and part of the requirements are to copy merge fields from one word document to another. I can copy them across using document.content.text but they come out as text (should've figured this i guess). I think i've got them selected by:
I have set up a mail merged XtraReport, and it works fine. Now I want to access one entry in that mail merged report. By entry I mean the text associated with one row in the dataset, i.e. with the values filled in instead of having the square brackets with the field names.So if have an XRRichText in my report with the text "Hi [name]" I want access to the XRRichText object with the RTF value "Hi Sandy"..Added information in example, added VB.net tag
I am trying to get data from an Oracle database into an already created Word template which has the fields and OLEDB link already set up in it. I've tried some of the ways i've seen on here but it always seems to come back to the same answer that it pops up a 'Confirm Data Source' window in Word and then fails to connect. Does anyone know why this is happening or have any other way of doing it?
I have multiple <body> tags from an word document. I do this with the open xml sdk. So the new document should generated with openxml The body's comes from
I have so different body's in a list. With al different values. Changed some text in the xml. And saved them in a new list. Now must that list in an new word document. How can i do that? I tried altChunk. But my word document is always corrupt.
how to edit and print mail merged document in vb.net (windows app) i have written the code to open the mail merged document but after the end user edited i want to print the document also.
I am trying to essentially allow the user to merge data from a database onto a document and print it. I am new to working with the PrintDocument, but I believe this would be the way to accomplish this. I know how to print the text onto the PrintDocument at a certain position, but what I am trying to figure out is how to deal with the coordinates of the text I am drawing on the PrintDocument. Ideally, I would love to click on the PrintDocument in a PrintPreviewControl and capture the coordinates of the PrintDocument.
I have a program in which I am trying to do the mail merge with the word template that I already have.
I have already setup the datasource for the word template in the word itself and it is pointing to my Employee Table which has all the information for the employee. I have also inserted the merge fields in the document where ever I need them. Now I want to print the document (Letter) with all the merge fields filled in from my application but for only employee whose Name or Number I sent from my program not all the employees I have in the datasource.
Now if I have to do it in Word, we have an option called Find Recipient in Mailings -> Preview Results in which I can set the Name or Number of the employee to get all his information to do the merge but how can I do the same thing from my program.
I can send all the fields values from my code like in the code below but I want to use my datasource to provide values. I have employee's Number I want to provide to the template to find the employee - so all the values are filled based on the employee's Number.
I have a not too complicated problem which I do not know how to solve in vb2010. Currently I have a recurive routine for finding files/and or searching. With a recursive routine I never complete the call until the end and process growth is significant enough to radically slow down the process with the now large stack. To make maters worse, I use precoding routines which will take wildcards. which are these:
I am trying to have letter templates (word documents) that are stored in sql server VarBinary(max) to be accessed via a web application where they will be edited and saved back to sql server by directors of our company. Then various managers will be able to select an existing template (word document), make any additions, and mail merge with a list of customers to print or save the letters.
I am looking to open up word within a web page much like you would an email in outlook, edit it with spell check and the like, and then save it back in sql server. I am able to get word to open from a file but it is outside of the web application in a separate word document. I am storing the word document in sql server but am unable to open it in word without having to save it to a disk (why should you have to go to a disk for viewing or editing?). I am able to programmatically mail merge but that is in a separate word application.
I am finding bits and pieces on the web but nothing that will pull things together such as embedding word but in a windows app not a web app. Mail merge from a file not from a database, converting a byte array to word in a directory but not on a web page.

So I have a pretty large application. This app communicates with hardware using a RS422 protocol. Now I'm working on the same app, except it will be using TCP/IP to communicate with the hardware. So this is using different code to do this.But I don't want to write two different applications, because that is two apps I would have to keep updated both of them. The apps are the same exept for the way they communicate with the hardware. Now I can limit the change down to 1 form, all the other forms would stay the same.
(using VB.Net 2008) I am trying to save one of my custom types to the application settings. I've read a variety of opinions on the internet about whether this possible.
When creating an app setting, none of my types appear when browsing. However, previously I needed to save off one of my datasets, and it worked simply by hand-entering it as the setting type (ie, I just typed "MyProjectName.DatasetName"). However, when I try the same trick with another custom type that isn't a dataset, I get a "type was not found" error. So I'm a little confused, can the program "find" some custom types and not others?
Basically I just want it so that someone can type in their password but it comes up as Asterisks (*) instead of their password.I'm using VB 2010 and making a Console Application.
I have a nice mouse cursor that I attached to every event on the form and the controls, and I would like it to remain always the same cause some times it changes to cursor appstarting.Is there a way to remove all the other cursor types from the application collection?
I want to design a application which can support two different types of databases same time e.g; when we install, it will ask which db it has to support and based on initial selection it should work with any db without changing anything in the application.In short it has to be developed keeping in mind that user may have either MS SQL or MySQL. It should support both.
I used BackGroundWorker control on a Windows desktop program. It worked great and I would like to use it with other languages. Which languages does it work with -- ASP.NET, Silverlight, WPF, Class libraries (dll), console applications, services, WCF? I see that it is in the System.ComponentModel namespace. Is that used by more than Windows desktop programs? If it's not used everywhere, is there an equivalent class on other platforms?

I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.
Now i'm working in an one softwarec concern.. now my TL gave one new concepy.., ie.., scan the document through our web application only. But i don't have any idea about that scannre.
I'm getting really really frustrated with Word's Document Recovery Pane everytime I launch Word - it is making me very mad! I'm busy with a program which assists me with all my exams, right, now, with this program I'm launching each program associated with each exam. After the document / spreadsheet etc. is shown, I mark what I need to, then, I have a button which closes the current process, and returns me to my default application interface.
I am looking for a way to print an exisiting Word or even Excel document from a VB.net application. I want to pass the sub a document name and it will send it to the printer while the application continues on it's way.

After the document / spreadsheet etc. is shown, I mark what I need to, then, I have a button which closes the current process, and returns me to my default application interface. All this is working, except for the .doc files, Word files.
Everytime I launch word, I get the Document recovery pane.
I've tried the following: [Code]
As a last resort ( and this doesn't work ), because WordDocument.close does not work, Word Application. Quit does not work! By, saying it doesn't work, means it closes everything, yes, but the Document Recovery PAne always shows up, and I can't understand why! Is there some way of disabling it completely I know some will say it is not a good idea, I know, I know I really need to get rid of it.
