I am using a server report, which I am rendering in VB.net using reportviewer.serverreport.render into a PDF document.Strangely, when i do this the text in my graphs is really small compared to in the designer or when I view the report in a web browser.
View 1 RepliesI've built my first usercontrol for use in a GPS Mapping forms app.
pic1 shows "panel1" containing some picturebox "tools" with a map(another panel containing a picturebox) underneath.
Pic2 shows that I dragged the map and the "tool" have not moved with the drag.
"panel1" also contains my usercontrol( this will show a transparent map scale). My usercontrol and all the "tools" definately have the same parent - ie "panel1".
If I resize the form to cause a re-paint of all the controls I get Pic3 - the red T bar (my usercontrol) will be the map scale.
Everything looks OK until I drag the map - the user control goes with the drag. Pic4 shows that the usercontrol image has been erased as it passed under the "tools".
I don't understand why the "tools" stay put and on top of the map and the usercontrol does not - even though they all have the same parent.
We are using Reporting Services to generate a purchase order, which is rendered as pdf before displaying on the screen. The report works well, as is, except that now we have to add a Terms & Conditions page to every PO. I've tried placing it in the footer, setting it to display only on the last page--this didn't work. I've also tried adding it to the body, setting the "Page Break Before" property to "true". This works, except that it looks like there is still space reserved for the header (i.e. the header's "show on last page" property is set to false). I can't get the Terms & conditions to fill the page. how I could attach or bind the pdf generated by reporting services with a pdf version of the Terms & Conditions sheet?
Note: We are using ASP & VB.NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2005, & SQL Server 2005.
I am looking at using the better GDI++ font rendering in a web browser I'm making with VB2008. I want to retain the IE web browser component (the default one) but have all text rendered through GDI++ to give a more Safari-like look to the text.What I want to know is, is this even possible? And if so, how complex are we talking?

View 10 RepliesWhats the font size real meaning? since when i use Arial font size 10 in the report its gonna take different space than the textbox im using (Both using exactly same font type/size/unit) its kinda if i set 10 milimiters to the font size why would the i and M for example have so diferent size.
i wish it was like in the Notepad where all the letters take the same space. what i need its to give a certain texbox(in the report) with auto grow to have always the same lines of height but its not posible to calculate it from vb b4 being inputed to the report.

View 1 RepliesI'm new to VB in Visual Studio 2008 and am just trying out some simple test.I just want to change the Font & Boldness of some text but get the following errorProperty 'Size' is Read onlyI have been browsing the forums and it seems that changing the font size etc isn't as simple as
TextBox.Font.Size = 12
TextBox.Font.Bold = True

How do I wait until the report has finished rendering before the rest of the code gets executed?

View 5 RepliesI'm writing a couple of custom controls in VB.Net 3.5, in VS2008, and would like to resize the font size based on the height of the control, and vice-versa. Is there any way of converting a font of say 38.25pts into a me.height, or the other way round?
I realise the font width will change dependent on the font used (which isn't an issue for my purposes), but as far as I know, the font height is usually consistent Accessibility/Large font settings won't be an issue with this application.

View 1 RepliesI'm quite new to VB Programming and I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for programming. I'm writing an application that communicates with an Omron PLC via CX-Server Lite which brings some ActiveX plugins for VB. So far I solved a couple of problems and my application "is doing something" already.My question in the end might be really easy. I inserted 3 bitlamps (Omron ActiveX Components) in a form, gave them the size and position I wanted them to have. When I now start my application they show up in the wrong size. It seems as if they would keep there position but they simply have the wrong size and even overlap each others although I have them sorted nicely in Visual Studio.Another effect I have is, sometimes when I move the components around on the Form in Visual Studio they seem to be "behind" the Form. I can't see them anymore but i can highlight and move them.

I have a Windows application written in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.The application opens a form to perform some measurements and to present data.
The application works fine when i run it om my "development computer" in debug mode. Also when i install in and run it on my computer.
But when i install it on the customer computer and run it i get a form that is smaller in size (not as wide as in my computer) and the result is that lots of graphics components are located outside the form and therefore not availible for the user.
When the user enters string for width or height, it throws an exception. How to catch that exception?

I need to convert between Drawing.Font.Size (float, ?) and WPF FontSize (double, WPF pixels).Finally, I decided to store in the database the fontSize in inch...How can I convert the GDI FontSize to inch and the WPF FontSize to inch?
sizeInInch = wpfFontSize / 96
sizeInInch = gdiFontSize / ?
Can I use something DPI independent? Maybe System.Windows.FontSizeConverter?I need to convert to something, that will allow me to switch multiple time between WPF and GDI without changing the "real value". Each division and following multiplication will accumulate errors...
FontSizeConverter does a ConvertTo, but I don't understand to use it:
myUniversalFontSize = (double)(myFontSizeConverter.ConvertFrom(
gdiFont.SizeInPoints.ToString() + "pt"))
will transform my gdiFont size in ...? WPF Pixels?How now should I convert back that value to GDI?
gdiFont.SizeInPoints = myUniversalFontSize / 96 * 72???
Can I use in the second example the myFontSizeConverter too?
