I am taking text from a textbox and storing this info into a text file. The problem is however that when i view the file I get "System. Windows. Forms.TextBox, Text: " plus what you enter. I just want to be able to display what you enter. I really don't understand why it is doing that.[code]
View 4 RepliesI basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
View 1 RepliesI need stop printing and paper feeding in the middle of printing in dot matrix printer.(Like a POS Printer - When wrote 'End Doc' on POS printer can stop paper feeding)
View 4 RepliesI am using VB 2008 & Access Databases for creating WinForm Applications. Also i am using Crystal Reports for Report solution. my question is How do i created reports such a way that they can be printed in faster Ascii Format on any DotMatrix printer. The default true type fonts make printing very slower.
I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.
my program involves printing a .txt file ive created with the same program. when i open the .txt file all the alignments ive set up work and look good but when i print the document the alignments are all off. im thinking it might be something with the formatting method ive used. im currently using something like this:
dim strFormat as String strFormat = "{0,-70}{1,-7}{2,-20}{3,3}{4,11}"
sw.WriteLine(String.Format(FmtItem, strDes1, dblQuan1, dblunit1, " = ", dblAmt1))
I am wanting to print a access database file by going up to my menu strip and clicking print. I don't want to preview the file or anything, I just want the code to simply pop up the default print dialog box and be able to hit print. Everything I have looked at seems to be very complex, is there not a easy way to just print this database file? Again I don't want to edit the output file at all with fonts, borders, etc.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to develop a program that will open, print and then close the selected files from the listview.The file could be of any type, but I am particularly interested in autocad drawing files - .dwg format. The printing needs to be done at the printer. There is a multibox which allows the user to select the printer .
Currently, I can open the files and select the printer but I am really getting stuck at printing.

View 2 RepliesI'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?
View 2 RepliesI have a program in which I display a list of files in a ListView control and then send them all to a printer. I verified that the file is getting from the list to the print routine;however, I cannot seem to get the print function working right. I have tried several methods after reading many forum posts and articles to no avail. I listed my print routine below for reference; I send the file to the ReadFile sub that programatically creates the Print Document and then calls the Print page event. All in all rather simple, but I keep gettting about a dozen lines of blocks and arbitrary characters and then my document starts printing. I thought that by defining the SizeF structure in the MeasureString method and the RectangleF in the DrawString method I would clear up the problems
Private Sub ReadFile(ByVal _pfile As String)
Try
'Dim fs As FileStream

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition under Window XP.I am able to generate a document that I can preview and print on my printer using PrintDocument1_PrintPage and PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog() without problems.I would like to be able to save the document as a file that could eventually be printed with a Word Processing program such as MS Word or other Word Processor.I have added a PrintDialog to my form and have set the folowing:
PrintDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1 PrintDialog1.AllowPrintToFile = TruePrintDialog1.PrintToFile =
TruePrintDialog1.ShowDialog()
When I run it, I get a Dialog Box with a "Print to File" checkbox that is checked. I do not seem to be able to specify a file name or location. When I click the "Print" button, I don't get any error messages and the dialog box just closes. I can't find anywhere that the file is saved.
I have a problem with a loop that I'm writing where it is just reading and printing the first line of a text file.
ofdFile.Title = "Choose file to read"
If ofdFile.ShowDialog() <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then

View 4 RepliesI have written a vb.net 2008 Express Edition application that pulls transaction history for customers from an iSeries. Everything appears to work as planned, except when you select to print Datagridview it prints the Date column as a DateTime instead of Date.When you are viewing the Datagridview in the VB.Net application it looks like it should.
On the iSeries the field with the date data is a decimal field with length of 7,0 with the following format CYYMMDD. In the VB.Net application the date portion is correct the time portion always is 12:00:00 AM due to i guess that it is picking up zero's somehow for time. Following is the code for the application.
