I have created 4 table and data set. I would like to print information from 3 table on a single report. I already created a rdl. report form.
View 2 RepliesI have a process that does a lot of data manipulation and then prints a simple report directly to a printer. The overall priority is speed. Tens of thousands of records need to be scanned & processed individually so moving thru them quickly as possible is the goal.
Pseudo code
01)Scan Barcode
02)Fill DataSet from Sql Server
03)Manipulate data in dataset
04)Update data back to Sql Server
05)Print crystal report directly to printer; the dataset is the reports source
06)Clear dataset and start next record back at step one
The process if pretty complicated with a ton data manipulation and data coming from multiple sources but that part works super and in short all I am doing is scanning barcode, filling a dataset, passing it to a report and starting over. Steps 1 to 4 are averaging one tenth of a second (0.01) to complete; great. Passing it to the report to print takes several seconds which is the problem. I thought I would resolve this by passing the dataset to the report print sub - allowing the print sub to run on a background thread - and moving on to processing the next record.
Dim m_ds As MyTypedDataSet
Sub ScanBarCode
Fill DataSet
Validate & Manipulate Data
Call PrintReport
Clear Dataset
End Sub
I have been attempting to add the PrintReport sub to process on a background thread. The problem though is the main thread blows right by to the next step and clears the dataset; causing an error in the report sub. I've tried unsuccessfully just about everything I can think of; including using DataSet.Copy to local datasets (which I really don't want to keep recreating the same object over & over tens of thousands of times), as soon as the main dataset clears, all clear.

View 1 RepliesAnyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to do these from a simple text box. i.e. 'TextBox1'.
I'm just learning VB and it's only a simple text editor but I can't find any good sites or posts that help me in understanding how to do it. These are not really covered in any of the 'beginner' books I have acquired either.

View 3 RepliesI hope someone can guide me in the right direction. I'm using VB2008 and I have been writing some small apps just to get me started in programming (I'm pretty much a newbie) and all was going well until now. I recently was experimenting with an n-tier style application. My application is as follows:
1) SQL Server 2008 database
2) Data Access Layer
3) Business Logic Layer
4) WCF Service
5) Winforms Client
My Winforms client retrieves data from the database via a call to a WCF service. I want to make the UI more responsive and to prevent it from locking up when its pulling down data from the database and populating a datagridview. I have looked at the background worker component but I am unsure how to implement it properly. To currently populate the DGV I simply use the click event of a button, as follows.

In vb2005, I have to load a treeview control while loading the form so make the form loading more effective therefore I use Background worker to populate treeview. I tried treeview to pass by ref and faced the error Cross thread operation not valid: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on, which makes sense.Now I want to load treeview in background and return its object then assigning it: Is this the right mechanism?

My LoadData method works fine when called directly, but it fails when it is called from the BackgroundWorker thread. When it is called from the background thread, it throws a Specified cast is not valid exception on the csearch.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(hh("Taj")) line. Below is my code:

View 4 RepliesI am having troubles with the project I'm doing. I am using VS 2008 and so, I am not familiar with how to print a report. I added the report using the report wizard option. I have read NUMEROUS tutorials on how to manually print a report. As much as possible, I don't want to use the ReportViewer or Crystal Report as I already have my data loaded in a listview. My problem is, is there any other way to print a report I made (.rdlc) without the use of the reportviewer?I really need it, especially for printing sales history and similar stuff.
View 7 RepliesI'm developing app in VB.NET 2008.
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.
how to print this in background ?
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.
