I am using VB.net 2010 to generate a letter from a Word 2002 template. The template has MailMerge bookmarks where the database values will be displayed (for example the letter receiving company's address). Currently I have:
«Company Contact» «Company Name» «Address1»
[Code].....
If "Address2" value is blank, then don't display the bookmark in the letter output (hence avoid displaying a blank line)
I'm developing a small vb application that will enable a user to select an excel spreadsheet as the source data and a word document as a letter template then create a mailmerge from the two.It's all working fine apart from when the mailmerge runs, a dialog box pops up asking for the sheet to be selected. The list of options is blank until the 'options' button is clicked and 'system tables' is selected. This is a word thing but I'd like to turn this off, if possible selecting the necessary options programatically from within my vb application.
My opendatasource code is: .OpenDataSource(Name:=sourcefile, LinkToSource:=True, SQLStatement:="select * from 'Sheet1$'", _
is there a possibility to modify the Datasource that is used for a mailmerge in Word VBA? e.g in the MailMergeBeforeRecordMerge- event?I need to delete some unnecessary lines before proceeding with the MailMerge.
My program needs to create a mailmerge with Word using a specific group of clients from the sql database list. I have a datatable set up in the database that stores the clients information on the individual user's computer.
The code below will automate word to create the mailmerge, but I can't figure out how to pull the following from my client table and use the results as a mailmerge datasource[code]...
I have a label that is supposed to display a word for 5 seconds and then move down the list in a text file and display the next word.I'm oddly able to make it work in random mode, but not going down the list in order.. random would be ok if used words didn't come up again.
Code: Dim DurHold As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath & "FlashWords.txt") Dim DurDelimiters() As String = {vbNewLine} Dim DurTextLines() As String = DurHold.Split(DurDelimiters, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
I have 5 questions that have two labels each that will display one of ten word, but without repeating a word. Thah makes 10 labels and the wordarray contains the strings ("one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten")Here is the event I am trying to utilize for my objective.
I want to search a text file (*.txt extension) for a certain keyword or a part of it. And then let the found item be displayed in a listbox or something else.Now the more difficult part, how can I display the word in front of that found word? [code]How can I then display the IDS_IDS_TXT_008912 on a label ?
I've used VB to connect to Excel and get the titles of the different columns in a spreadsheet. These then display in a drop down combo box for the user to choose from. I'm getting lots of empty values in my combo box because not all the columns in Excel have titles. How would I go about telling it not to display them?
Excuse the easy question but I've only started learning to code a week ago.

I need to remove VB .Net Standard 2002 installation from a XP SP3 laptop I used for development. Unfortunately I threw away the installation disk which came with a VB MSPress Manual. I have read and followed the advice in KB Articles 312383, 320114 and 319714 with no success. The MSIs would not even run in admin mode. Has anyone removed this product without the installation disk? Is there a source for a detailed list of the files and folders I must manually remove?
How can I get my asp.net webpage to display a word document in the browser? This is a controlled environment where everyone has exactly the same browser settings and everyone uses internet explorer 7. It is an intranet environment.
I have created a C# .Net DLL add-in for Excel.When I try it on my home machine with WinXP and OfficeXP 2003 it works as expected. When I try it on a couple of machines at work with WinXP and OfficeXP2002 it does not work.I have spent 2 days solid reading up on this subject in general and I still cannot get to the bottom of the problem. As far as I can work out what I am trying to do should work with Excel 2002.
Some details:
- I am using Visual Studio EXPRESS 2008 (C#).
- The assembly is signed with a Strong Name Key File.
- I have installed the OfficeXP (2002) PIAs.
- I have created a class DLL in accordance with many MSDN and other internet posts.
- I have registered the DLL using RegAsm.exe and GACUtil.exe.
- I have added registry entries for Excel for CURRENT_USER so Excel should know about the DLL.
The DLL adds some Automation functions (Tools-Addins-Automation) which can be accessed in cells within Excel (for example you would enter =MultiplyFirstBySecond(2, 3) in a cell and get a result of 6) and also implements the IDTExtensibility2 methods so that when Excel is opened it creates a button on the toolbar which when pressed pops up a message box. It it this functionality (adding buttons with code behind them) that I want to expand on.I have attached the zips of the batch and registry files I have created to register the DLL in the GAC and in the registry. I have also attached a zip of the complete project. I would like to know if there is anything I should check with my machine's setup or my project or my registration/installation of DLLs, PIAs etc in order to make my DLL work on my Excel 2002 machine.
I have a string of code which builds out an answer and question as you would see on a medical form.
strDisplay &= strMyAns & Space(5) & ControlChars.Tab & MyQ & ControlChars.Tab & Environment.NewLine & Environment.NewLine Results look like attached .gif. Is there an easy way in VB to indent when the question exceeds space on a page?

I'm trying to build a page in which the users should be able to type a name into a search box, click search and the name will be displayed. My problem is that I also want them to be able to edit the name and update it, and this is not working for some reason. I'm using GridView and because of the way my search function works, I can't link the GridView directly to data source. What function do I need to add to make the uploading work, or what do I need to change in my search function so that I'll be able to link to data source a(nd have the upload function be automatic) ?
My code for my search function is :
Sub btnSearch_onclick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) If (txtSearch.Text = "" Or txtSearch.Text = "Enter Search Here") Then Response.Write("enter a search value!") Else
