View 1 RepliesToday I went to the user's site for a demo. The program works fine on my HP LaserJet 1018. Data is entered into a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl and then printed on one of four labels as selected by the user at print time. For the top left (landscape) label, I set margins (50, 570, 60, 460) on the DefaultPageSettings and it correctly prints a label starting 0.5" from the left and 0.6" from the top.
On the HP OfficeJet Pro K550, the label size, left to right and top to bottom, is correct but the top mrgin is about 0.75" and the left margin is 1.0". So the label looks correct but shifted right and down so of course it does not print ont he label. I used MS Word 2003 and printed a document with 0.5" margins all the way around and it worked.I found an options in the printer's advanced properties to "minimize margins" and another to "emulate laser printer margins" but neither had any effect on my output.
I have a Canon IP500 printer on a Silex net print server. I have several XP and Vista computers that print to it.Some print jobs require duplex printing, some require single page.There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this built into Windows in any version that I have seen, other than opening the printer properties and changing the default before each print job, then going through the same steps to change it back, ---really awkward, and people goof it up all the time.I've been looking for code to do this, but all I find is VB6 or VBA samples that I can't get to work in vb.net 2008. One sample I got to compile OK, but it crashes--but it uses lots of API calls.I would think it would be trivial, but I find lots of people trying unsuccessfully to do the same thing.
View 9 RepliesI am trying to load multiple single page documents and then send them all to the printer in one job. In the end I'd like them duplex printed. At this point I only need to do this with word docs, but I'd like to know if I could do it with other doc types, like pdf? What about printing a one page word document, a two page excel document and a one page pdf document? Have page 1 of the excel on the back side of the word doc, and then the pdf on the back side of page 2 of the excel.

Trouble is, there is no way to manipulate the printer settings using this technique. I'm looking for a way to print the documents in duplex mode.
Here is the
Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
Try
Dim objWordApp As New Word.Application
Dim objWordDoc As New Word.Document

View 5 RepliesI have 2 projects
UI
Functionality
UI references Functionality to call specific functions. Functionality needs to call certain functions that operate UI. This is what I mean by Duplex communication. Is there any way to do this without causing circular dependency?Should there be 1 main project which simply does all the calling acting as a "wrapper" between UI and Functionality?
I have 2 applications that needs to talk to each others. After some research, I wanted to go with managed pipe (namespace system.io.pipes). The problem is, the client must send commands to the server but need to also wait for incoming message from the server at the same time. I tried to go asynchrone but it doesn't work.

I have a .NET dll which I use from a C++ program. Now I have to register the dll programmatically on a deployment computer. How do i do that (programmatically! not using regasm)? I remember, when I once called a VB6 dll from a C++ dll, I had to use DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer. Is that still so with a .NET dll? It seems I have to somehow add the dllregisterserver function to the .NET dll.
View 3 RepliesI have a customer that needs to convert XLS files to XLSB. Has anyone done this programatically, (with or without an add-on --- doesn't matter --- just need to be able to automate it)? I'm looking for a way to automate this.
As a side note, the customer is asking about this because they use Sharepoint, and it seems it has a way to analyze XLSB files quicker and easier than XLS??? I'm working to improve my Sharepoint knowledge, but in the meantime, I'm trying to find an answer to this XLSB issue.

View 5 RepliesI've written an interface with a 3rd party web service in VB.NET. The final step in that interface involves the 3rd party delivering to us (as a stream) a PDF document. After streaming is complete I save a copy of the PDF on our servers, so that our users can view the PDF by clicking on a link in our system. The PDF opens fine in Acrobat X, but when I try to open it programatically I an error saying that "the file is damaged and could not be repaired". I can also open the file in IE just fine, with no issues, and the same code that displays this PDF works just fine on lots of other existing PDFs that predate the 3rd party interface.
I have emptied out temporary internet files as suggested in some posts I saw online. I also opened the PDF in Notepad++ and the %PDF tag is first, and the %%EOF tag is last, so there's certainly no corruption visible in the document source that I can see. Below is the (very standard) code we use to open PDFs into a separate browser instance on our site:
PDFFile = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & Request.QueryString("LetterPath") & Request.QueryString("Letter")
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.BufferOutput = True

View 1 Repliesim trying to find a better way to end the application im working on right now programatically, sometimes a user simple wants to end it all and since in the properties of my project the program is set to only end after all forms have been closed, (oddly enough i close all forms and it still is executing so i use dispose method and then end) what would be the best way to end the application and free pc memory for everything attached to it? i use:
form1.dispose()
form2.dispose()
form3.dispose()
me.dispose()
End
