I'm trying to create a print function with a corresponding print preview. For some reason, any string I create with String.Format will NOT show up on the print preview! Use the code snippet below as an example:
Dim strTemp As String
strTemp = String.Format("{0, 210} {1, 75} {2, 51} {3, 200} ",
"NAME", "PRICE", "QUANTITY", "DESCRIPTION")

I need to take a string formatted like '010711' (DDMMYY) and put it into format '01-Jul-11'. Ive thought about doing something like string.toArray and then having some conditionals that format from there but am looking for an easier way.

I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?
So I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.
however, i'm copying this directly from the book in its example format and still getting an error.

my format statement from vb6 is not formating right in vb 2010. Here is what I have.
sw.WriteLine("202" & Trim(Str(1000 - index)) & "0" & Trim(Str(kdex)) & Chr(9) & Format(Plotrecinp(1, kdex),
Chr(9) & Format(Plotrecinp(index, kdex), "#.#####E+##"))
This is what it gives me: 20299901 14415.58E+14415.58E+ It should be more like this: 20299901 2.88462E-1 1.45098E+4 nevermind the difference in the number values. the formatting is what I want.
i have a simple statement of code that reads:
Return String.Format("{0} {1} {2}", _var1, _var2, _var3)
i'm trying to get this formatted string to output each var on it's own line. i'm new to vb.net but i did try one thing:
"{0}
{1}
{2}"
that didn't work.
I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?

This seems so simple, but I can't get the answer. I need to get the current time in an hh:mm:ss or sss military format. By military format, I mean that if it is past noon, the hour is the PM time plus 12 (1 PM is 13, 5 PM is 17). I found this bit of code:

It returns the hour in AM/PM format. That is, if it is 4 PM, it returns 04 rather than 16). I can't find documentation on the hh:mm:ss mask. In fact I can't find a simple discussion on how to make the time of day property return time in various formats. After 3 hours of futzing around,

Anyway, 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.
My instructor told us how to print documents and how to use databases. What the instructor did not mention is how to print or print a preview of records within a DatabaseDataSet. The book "Programming in Visual Basic 2010" does not explain how to print or do a print preview of Database Source records from within a form. The only thing I was told was to test the print document first before you try to do a print preview. Within a form I used a DataGridView to add, delete, and update the database. So now all I need to do is figure out how to print the updated records from the DataGridView and how to print a preview of the records within the DataGridView. So I hope my question is clear enough to give me assistance on how I can perform these two actions. Thanks this would be a great help, and since the class is online we can get assistance from any sources that we have.
View 5 RepliesI have this as code to run the program
Process.Start(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString.Split(New String() {" "},
StringSplitOptions.None)(1))
Which used to work but then I added a "Preview image" function like this :
(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString.Split(New String() {" Image:"}, StringSplitOptions.None)(1))
I now discovered that the first code is useless, because it selects everything after " " to run, including the "Image:"
This is how a listbox item is stored:
Tomb Raider Level Editor - Original C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editor omb4.exe Image:C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editorload.bmp
As you can see it'll use this
C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editor
omb4.exe Image:C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editorload.bmp
to run
Is there any way I can make it choose the path from " " and when it finds "image:" it stops?

View 1 RepliesI am receiving this error message: "Input string was not in a correct format." on my ASP.net 2.0 VB project.
When looking at other posts with this error its obvious that each time it will be specific to the users' project. Therefore my main question is, is it possible to generate a more informative error message?
I am already in debug mode but it does not tell me in which string the problem lies. I am converting some strings to integers with "Cint" and have also tried the Integer.Parse() method to no avail.
