I wrote an application that produce a final form with the result consistinf of labels and 3 buttons (Back, Exit, and print ) when I hit the print button I want it to print the form. Note the labels on the form have results for calculations made on the interface form which display the form which I am printing. What are the actual code to print the resulting form. I am using VB.net 2008.

I have been able to do the exercise's in the first 2 chapters and half the exercise's in the third chapter of the text book (programming in visual basic 2008, Julia Case Bradley & Anita C. Millspaugh). but this one is making my head want to explode. please point me in the right direction with this.
Heres the problem. The company has instituted a bonus program to give its employees an incentive to sell more. For every dollar the store makes in a four-week period, the employees receive 2 percent of sales. The amount of bonus each employee receives is based upon the percentage of hours he or she worked during the bonus period (a total of 160 hours). The Calculate button will determine the bonus earned by this employee, and the Clear button will clear only the name, hours-worked, and bonus amount fields. A Print button allows the user to print the form. Do not allow missing or bad input data to cancel the program; instead display a message to the user.
Here's my code so far. its giving me the wrong results. i have tried many different ways,(hence the commented code) but I just dont know where im going wrong.

here is what I have so far:

It works fine if I input the tip percentage as a decimal, but I need to be able to input a whole number for the percentage, and in turn, output the correct decimal. I'm sure this is a pretty easy fix,

How to Print a Win form of VB.net after Print Preview?
View 2 RepliesAs I wanted to benefit from new multicore threading improvements from .Net Framework 4, I recompiled all of my solution projects from 3.5 to 4.Everything compiled Ok. But what was my surprise to see that my application runs much slower when compiled in .Net 4 compared to 3.5. I was not expecting that at all. It is a scientific processing App, so computing time is what it's all about. I have no clue where to start from, and for the time being, and I prefer to think that I have missed something during the migration process, that is fixable, rather than the App is "per se" running slower in .4 (can't see any logical reason for that...)
View 2 RepliesI was working on an app that calls a batch file to do some simple tasks and found out this machine has some issues when trying to run them. really weird! so i did some testing and here are my resultsthis is a little strange to me and i can't think of why this is happening... let's say i have a simple bat file called test.bat these are the contents
@echo off
echo testing...
pause
When i go to run this bat, this is the output: C:>â– @ 'â– @' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. It seems every bat i make on this machine is being preempted by the block character which renders bat files useless...
I'm exporting a datagridview to excel. The first column is a Date (not DateTime) which appears like '2/15/2011'. After exporting the datagridview to excel it appears in excel as '2/15/2011 0:00', furthermore the first 68 rows in excel appear as '6/14/1898 12:00:00 AM'. Where is the time coming from? The column type in the database is date. I've attempted to edit the cell style of the datagridview column to date. I've attempted to figure out how to pre-program the formatting in excel, but it's not working either.

I have a folder with a whole lot of music in it (*.mp3 files.). Now on my form I can play these songs in playlists, and other extra's. But now what I want to finish it, is to create a search function. Here is a picture of my Form. And what I want to add is a Listbox, TextBox and a button.
When I type: "Eye of the Tiger" in the Textbox and click the Button, All *.mp3 files in my folder, and the subfolders, with "Eye of the Tiger" in it, are added to the Listbox (The full name, like: "Survivor - Eye of the Tiger") will show at the Listbox. How can I do this, in an easy way, if possible.
I want to combine multiple lists of items into a single list, retaining the overall order requirements. i.e.:
1: A C E
2: D E
3: B A D
result: B A C D E
above, starting with list 1, we have ACE, we then know that D must come before E, and from list 3, we know that B must come before A, and D must come after B and A.If there are conflicting orderings, the first ordering should be used. i.e.
1: A C E
2: B D E
3: F D B
result: A C F B D E 3 conflicts with 2 (B D vs D B), therefore requirements for 2 will be used.
If ordering requirements mean an item must come before or after another, it doesn't matter if it comes immediately before or after, or at the start or end of the list, as long as overall ordering is maintained.
This is being developed using VB.Net, so a LINQy solution (or any .Net solution) would be nice - otherwise pointers for an approach would be good.
Edit: Edited to make example 2 make sense (a last minute change had made it invalid)

View 7 RepliesI'm working on a program dealing with jagged arrays.Code is below.The FindPath() function works perfectly.It essentially randomly chooses an action from 3 possible choices.The goal of this function is to make it to position (3,3) from (0,0).Sometimes it makes it, sometimes it doesn't.It gives up after 2000 moves.
The PushButton() function is where I have the problem.I want to run the FindPath() function 2000 times, and return the resulting list of moves into intLists()(), my jagged array.I want to use
intRuns = 0
For intRuns = 0 To intLists.GetUpperBound(0)
lstMoveList.Items.Add(intLists(intRuns).GetUpperBound(0)) 'here is where I get the problem.
this section of code to dump the number of attempts it took into a listbox on the main window.I do this at the bottom of the FindPath() function, but that is for testing purposes only.I eventually want to take the successful attempts and manipulate those, so eventually I get the minimum possible number of movements to get from the starting point of (0,0) to the ending point of (3,3).

I have to write an application that consists of mainly one main form, but several different things I wanna display. Pretty standard I guess. So there is a menu, some controls, and the main stuff below (ranging form graphs, tables, dropdown boxes, print preview, etc). I would like to use it like one would use frames in html, design an object that is limited to a box or panel that I define. The literature I have does not give me a clear idea of how to do this (yet). The most obvious seem to be the use of MDI, open a predefined form with no borders, maximize it before showing and remove all minimize/maximize options. But that does not work so well. The form inside the MDI parent does not fit the size that is given for it when it is loaded. e.g.
[CODE]:......................
So my main question is: Is MDI the way to go here at all or are there better/easyer ways to achieve this? If MDI is the way to go, how do I sucessfully restrict a child form inside another object, without giving the user any opportunity to resize (i noticed that I have minnimize/maximize/close buttons, even if I disable them on the child forms themselves)
so i have a user form, and i want to uncheck certain checkboxes if some conditions are met, etc. the problem is, i also have instructions that are supposed to take place when the box is clicked, BUT these are done when the actual value is changed, even if no click takes place. how can i get around this? i tried to have some boolean barriers but because of the complexity of my code, theres no logical way of doing it. is there some property i can use to just change the value and not register a click?
View 7 RepliesI am trying to create bitmaps from data, display them in a particular way on another form and then save an image of the other form. I can print the form display correctly when the code is run on the form to be printed, however, I would like to cycle through a bunch of data files and the form_print event will only execute after the form_load routine has complete. So, I've tried calling the form.show from another form, but then the form_print event is not called. Generally, this is what I would like to do:

This is how you can take a picture of the form and print it.First thing you have to do is add a PrintDocument component to the form. You can get that from the Toolbox (way down the list). Then you need to add a PrintDialog to the form as well. Also a button that says "Print" is probably a good idea...Code:'We declare this here, cause were going to take the picture befor we show the print dialog'I tried to take the picture in the PrintPage sub but it didnt work, would print the dialogs, etc.'So we take the picture when the user presses the button, then show the dialog.Private Print_Image As Image
'This is used to take the pictureDeclare Auto Function BitBlt Lib "GDI32.DLL" ( _ ByVal hdcDest As IntPtr, _ ByVal nXDest As Integer, _ ByVal nYDest As Integer, _ ByVal nWidth As Integer, _ ByVal nHeight As Integer, _ ByVal hdcSrc As IntPtr, _ ByVal nXSrc As Integer, _ ByVal nYSrc As Integer, _ ByVal dwRop As Int32) As Boolean

View 3 RepliesI have tried everything, downloaded programs, searched everything, subscribed to various forums and still I haven't got the solution to the following problem.
Using Visual Studio 2008 pro.
I wanted to create a report based on data from a form but that didn't work on CR because I couldn't transfer the richtextbox contents to the CR along with its formating and pictures. So abandoning that idea, I decided to create a form and print the contents. Once again the RichTectBox is creating major problems for me.
Does anyone know how I can print a form that has: Textboxes AND Richtextboxes (with formated text and pictures) The form will propably have 6or7 txtboxes and 1 rtb but that doesn't really matter if I figure out how to print 1 and 1 on one try.
I can print out code as I did in vb6, but there does not seem to be an option to print the actual form image.
