If a user enters less than the maximum limit of characters set for a textbox, how do u pad the textbox with xxxx when the user leaves the textbox. I've tried using the padright function but I can't seem to get it to work.

Is there any way to push the left padding on a multi-line text box to the left to be in line with the left justified padding on a single line text box? It is frustrating as it looks off-kilter with the multi-line text indented as it is.

So I don't think there is a method for PKCS5. Is there any way to add it, or do I need to write an encryption method myself? If so - how do I write that? Is there a reliable DLL that will support it?
I need to take a string of any length & make it exactly 5 characters long by either truncating it or padding it or neither. So "abcdefgh" becomes "abcde", "abcde" stays "abcde" & "abc" becomes "abc " (2 spaces at the end).
I currently use this line of
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(myString, 5).PadRight(5, " "c)
it works, but it seems very hackish.
I am getting following error when I am trying to use Convert.FromBase64String "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or a non-white space character among the padding characters."
Dim payloadBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(payloadBase64)
Basically when my facebook registration form [URL]mphone field has a dash in it and encoded string is posted to other page and I am trying to decode it there which creates this error. Basically I am trying to extract data from Facebook Signed Request.
my program written by me can only perform properly if its in multiple of 8bits, but when it exceeds more than or less than 8 bits it doesnt perform the specified function. so i want to know how to do '0' padding if my file size is not in multiples of 8 bits.
View 2 RepliesI have some questions regarding vb.net bit shifting. I understand the << >> operators are bit shift operators in vb.net. I have a two byte hex value 0x3ACC, each bit in this two byte represents either a day, month or year. The bit structure of this hex value is yyyy yyym mmmd dddd. I am confused as to how I should bit shift these values so that year, month and day are in their own UINT16 values. Just want to know about shifting numbers and if I need to add any padding to the shift?
View 1 RepliesI have a ListBox that I add items to using the standard:
ListBox1.Items.Add(whatever)
I would like to increase the space between entries, but not adding a blank line, since I do not want a blank option tha thwe user could click on. Is there anyway to do this?
I have tried:
ListBox1.Items.Add(whatever & vbCrLf), but no change.
Does anyone know if it's possible to pad a column to the left using the RowFilter property in a DataView? My data comes from a third party via XML which I've converted to a DataSet. I'm inferring the XML schema to set the column datatype. I've converted the column in question to string in order to properly compare any text entered by the user. At the time I populate the data grid I format the column by padding it with zeros on the left side so that it is always 11 characters (Ex: 123456789 becomes 00123456789). This is for legal reasons and not optional. However when using the RowFilter property the zeros in front are obviously not accounted for because they don't exist in the DataSet.
This is what I'm doing currently:

View 3 Replies1. How to get 0 padding/inner margin in the cells? I want just the border as a colored line at the next close pixel to the control in the cell. Or if border set to none, I want the controls with no gap.
2. How do I actually add/remove rows& columns? I thought this was by setting the .ColumnCount property, but if I set it to 3, and then try to access the third column, it gives exception, so it's obviously just two columns, although it also looks like 3 on the form. ? I created it in designer with 2 columns though. But I don't understand how this hangs together..

View 1 RepliesI have been writing a security class in my application, I am able to encrypt the string correctly and without error. However every time when I try to decrypt this string again, i get an error with this as it returns the following Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.

I have found simular issues on web, and most of them say that the IV is not the same the encrypted version, but I can confirm that the IV is the same as they both access the exact same variable.

View 1 RepliesWhile I am asking this for VB I verified this issue also occurs in C# so I think it is a .NET issue. I am using Visual Studio 2010 Premium Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel with .NET Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel.
Step to recreate the problem.
Create a new Windows Application for Visual Basic (WinForms).
Add a ToolStrip.
Add a ToolStripComboBox to the ToolStrip.
Save, note the width of the combo box.
Change the padding on the combo pax to 2.
Save and close the form designer.
Reopen the form designer, look at combo box width - it decreased. Note that form is marked as having been modified. So save it and close the designer again. Reopen the designer and look at the combo box width - it will have shrunk every time you save, close, and reopen until you get to a 0 width. It shrinks by 4 * the padding size. Why would padding affect the size since that is the interior margin where as the margin settings are the exterior margins.
I am using RijndaelManaged to encrypt just 4 bytes of data which produces a 16 byte result (i am using a 128 block size). When I try to decrypt these 16 bytes I get the message "Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.". (The base stream of the CryptoStream is a MemoryStream based on just these 16 bytes).
View 1 RepliesIf you have a Control contained within another Control and the Child Control has the default Anchoring (Top + Left) AND AutoSize=False (Assuming the control has that Property) changing the Parent Control's Top or Left Padding will not offset the Child Control.If you change the Anchoring of the Child Control to anything other than the default values OR set AutoSize=True, the Control is correctly offset when the Parent Control's Padding values are changed.
View 4 RepliesHow to format by padding left and right. I have two integers, two strings, and another integer that I need to align neatly in columns. There is a total of about 100 columns, and they have to be neatly aligned.
Here is my code:
Console.Writeline(num1.ToString().PadRight(5) + num2.ToString().PadRight(5) + str1.PadLeft(20) + str2.PadLeft(20) + num3.ToString().PadRight(5))
How do I pad it correctly so the columns can be neat and aligned.
I'm using VB2008 Express. And I've been working on a "popup" to select a date range. The DateTimePicker isn't ideal because the purpose is to pick a date range, which will always be one full week, from Sunday through Saturday. The control works just fine and I'm pretty proud of it. My problem has to do with the border added when using ToolstripControlHost for this. I've included a screenshot and my code.
In the code below, assume there exists a button named "btnTimePeriod", below which I desire to show a panel, which contains a few custom items, and the panel's name is "pnlDateRangePicker".IT WORKS... but it doesn't look right. The panel itself is 147 x 326 pixels, but notice in the attached graphic that it's adding a border around the panel which I don't want. There's a border on the top, bottom, and left... but for some reason the border on the right one is especially large. Although my code doesn't expressly set it, AutoSize = true so I would have expected it to shrink around the panel.
As required, my code already does set ShowCheckMargin and ShowImageMargin false. I haven't included the code for the DrawDateCalander Sub because it's not relevant. I believe even a blank panel would yield the same result. I have no idea where this margin is coming from.
Private Sub btnTimePeriod_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTimePeriod.Click
Call DrawDateCalendar(DatePart(DateInterval.Month, FirstDisplayedSunday), DatePart(DateInterval.Year, FirstDisplayedSunday))
Call ShowControlBelow(btnTimePeriod, pnlDateRangePicker)
End Sub

With the click of another button i hope to have all the values entered into these text boxes stored in a text file. However, i cant seem to find a way to add strings together to allow me to retrieve the values entered within the text boxes created.

View 5 RepliesBy default, the DataGridView padding (.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Padding and .DefaultCellStyle.Padding) is set to 0 (zero). However, when you run the application and look at what's in the DataGridView control, there is default padding of 3 pixels (Left) in the data cells and a default padding of 7 pixels (also Left) in the header cells. I don't seem to have any control over these 3 and 7 pixel offsets. For Top, Bottom, and Right, there are similar or greater pixel offsets that I also don't seem to have access to. I want to be able to specify exactly the pixel offset I want, assuming a default pixel offset of 0 (not 3 and 7).

View 3 RepliesI have two text boxes on my form. Textbox1 and Textbox2. Textbox1 will contain information. I want to code my button to read textbox 1 and put it into a string or some way for the app to read the textbox and store the information into it's memory.Then I want to be able to read that string into the second part of my application.
a). read the textbox into a string using a streamreader and then use a streamwriter to write the data into a string?
b). save the textbox to a .txt file then use the openfiledialog to read the text file into a string to use?
How can I get how many times a string occurs in a textbox? I thought the find function would return the number of times found but it seems to return the location of it.

I am writing a kiosk type application, in winforms (I know WPF would be better, this is just to be a rough and ready solution until I've learnt WPF), using VB.Net (VS2008).I have a label on my form with the font set to Segoe UI, and at 120pt size (yes it's large, it's designed to be read from a distance on a 42" screen).The problem I have is that the automatic internal padding is pushing my text 60 pixels from the top of the control to the top of the text and 40 pixels from the left of the control to the left of the text - the label1.padding property is all at 0, so this is the default spacing of the control - it seems to be particularly bad with this font (but it's the font I want to use) and if I increase the font size, this issue gets even worse.
I want my text to fit tightly into the boundaries of my control top, bottom and left (I want the right to expand depending on the length of the string in it, though). How can I achieve this (so that I can control all of the paddding myself using the label.padding property) and get rid of this automatic padding?
Ypos = TopMargin + Count * PrintFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics)
ev.Graphics.DrawString(ROData(x, 3), PrintFont, Brushes.Black, LeftMargin, Ypos, New StringFormat())
Count = Count + CInt(ROData(x, 4))
The above line prints the data contents of the ROData array in position three. I would like to be able to assign a specific position accross the line to have the printer print the data at without left padding the array data.
