View 4 RepliesI have a routine that creates a report which includes text and graphics. When I print to a PDF or printer the output looks great. When I draw the report on an image to save as a PNG, GIF, JPEG, etc. it does not look as good and I understand that is related to the 96 dpi native resolution. However, I made some modifications, and even though the graphics part of the image looks better, the text does not look as good as the PDF. I am creating the image using 300 dpi and text rendering is set at the highest quality.

I am using drawstring with the DrawMode set to OwnerDrawFixed on a tab control. The Tabs have a alignment set to left, but the text is displayed in a horizontal orientation. I would like to change the orientation to vertical. I am expecting this to be simple, but can not seem to find the correct input parameters for drawstring.

I am using the e.graphics.drawstring to print labels and textboxes. One of the labels is "#". Whenever I print, although it is centered in its label on the screen, the text in the label aligns to the left. Is there a way to get it to center? This is happening with all my textboxes and labels.
e.Graphics.DrawString(lblNumber.Text, lblNumber.Font, Brushes.Black, 9, 55)
how to use DrawString (or any other method) to draw text that's reversed? For example, instead of having black text over a background image, you draw a black filled rectangle over the image, and then use DrawString to "punch through" the black rectangle exposing the image underneath.

I draw text (comment on item in an invoice ) inside a rectangle.
[Code]...
I have no problem, the text appear on several lines and it is well wrapped. But if the text is too long to be drawn inside the rectangle, I need to draw the text not drawn in another rectangle (on another page). How can I know the text not drawn in the first rectangle ? I think it is more difficult to use MeasureString because the text is wrapped.
I'm using graphic.DrawString to well... draw a string.I specify the Font Family, Font Size, Font Style, Graphics Unit.Everything works well for 50 computers but for just one, the font is "bolder".The characters are the same height but for some reason the "pixel" are double the width.Can this be fixed with code?Can this be fixed using a windows setting?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to pass an image showing to the user a countdown. For this, I'm using a separate thread where I'm checking when the countdown timer should be started, and when so, I draw an image for every 6 seconds passed.
What's annoying is when I pass the drawn image to the UI, the quality of the image is changed and it looks bad to the user.
This is my little script that handles the drawings:
Try
remainingTime = (#12:04:00 AM# - (DateTime.Now - local_DateTimeclick)).ToString("HH:mm:ss")
remainingTimeInSeconds = Convert.ToDateTime(remainingTime).Minute * 60 +

I need to know the best way to print a form in Visual Basic 2008. I have tried to print it using the printform method but the quality of the text is really bad. Are there other ways to print forms that dont involve the printform method and have great quality? I need to print the form the way it looks on the screen(which consists of textboxes,lines,labels).

I have this code where I'm wanting to draw text inside a defined rectangle and if it's too wide I want it to be slit onto multiple lines and if it's too tall, I was it to only paint what it can which right now it's not cutting it off it continues on below the bottom border.Here's my

I have noticed that when I use drawstring to only print numbers, it just prints nothing. However if I put a letter in the string, it prints. So, "12345" will not work, however
"a12345" will work.
Example:
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.DrawString("12345", myFont, getBrush(Color), X, Y)
Is there a transformation function that can be applied to the Graphics.DrawString to output text on an angle?

I've developed an application that acquires images from my Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 using WIA. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to adjust the quality of the image taken by the camera. The camera has a 2MP lense, but the program will only acquire a picture of 320x240 pixels, which is the lowest resolution the camera has. How do I tell the camera to take a picture at one of it's other resolutions? IE: 640x480, 960x720, 1.3MP, or 2MP?

Does the quality of code merged by TFS 2008 depend on the used programming language? I know merging in Java / Subversion, and merging a branch to its trunk usually does not create much conflicts. Now in my company, we use VB.NET. When I merge two files TFS does not always get code blocks right, e.g. does not find the right If..then / end if lines. To give you an example, I mean: File 2 is created as a branch of File 1. Both files were changed later, now I'm going to merge those files and am recieving conficts: The marked end-if lines (1) are detected as corresponding, meaning the added event handler Button1_Click is being deleted.
Now I wonder if this behavior is by language (C# vs. VB.NET) or are other source control solutions just better than TFS? (And I really liked TFS up to now :) )

In Reporting Service, I need to have a vertical, starting at bottom, bottom-to-top, horizontally middle aligned text.The only way to do this is to create an image in code, and set this image into the title column.See the code below.Basically, it works fine, just that the anti-alias quality is pretty crappy.Is there anything I can do to improve it ?The vertical text is somehow pale, and not full black, and also there is smearing all around the text, in the background color.As well as it appears bolder than the text on the left, but both have format arial, size 8, bold I've tried all other values of System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.*, as well as no anti-alias at all but the current one seems to be the least crappy.I've also tried to change the image format, to no avail:
Function LoadImage2(ByVal sImageText As String, ByVal sImageTextMax As String) As System.Drawing.Image
sImageTextMax = sImageTextMax.PadRight(15)
Dim iFontSize As Integer = 8 '//Change this as needed

I'm not sure where should I post this as this is not really related to VB.NET but since I'm always here(in the VB.NET section) I'm gonna ask here.How do I make an icon that won't lose it's quality? I tried so many dimensions already. 32x32, 250x250, 16x16, 64x64.It will lose it quality on Desktop and taskbar. An icon like the IE's, Visual Studio's, Google Chrome's icons.. icons that doesn't lose quality.

I know what I need to do for all of it I just need to know how to save an image to a jpeg without it being compressed. I have tried using the encoderparamters and getcodecinfo aswell as setting the quality to 100 but I still get a really bad looking image in the end.
Is there a way where I can save an image to a jpeg without getting the crappy image quality like with visual basic?
