I need to port a VBA app to VB.NET, there is only one problem excel won't save my template. Excel opens the right file and it shows me the save file dialog, only one problem it won't save any file, however it won't give me an error but won't return me the file path because it doesn't save the file anywhere.

Is it possible to use FileSave to save a richTextBoxs content with a fixed save path, without needing to go thru the save dialogue to select save location.

I have a an excel file that has been manually populated, and now needs to be automatically populated using ASP.NET, vb or c#. I've been looking around, and have found examples on how to export a gridview, and data to excel sheet, but not anyway to maintain the format of the original template. I've recently populated a word document using merge fields... does excel have anything similar? Could I break the file down into XML and use that as a template?

View 2 RepliesI have the code I need to save the contents of a text box to a text file using the WriteAllText command, and I can view the text file contents using the StreamReader command.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to saving the contents of a TextBox into a html template?
I'd like to have the html file with formatting (H1, H2, table, tr, td etc.) already embedded in the head tags - this I can do already, and will save this html file as the template that the data will be added to.
I will be scanning the computer for system information - OS, Make, model etc and want to have this added to the template in the table layout.
I have attached a printscreen version of my excel template here,
Now I just want to know, using vb.net code, on how can I import this data from a specific cell, including the header itself so I can insert it into mysql database.
I can't get this to work. My program fills all the values into an Excel spreadsheet- no problems there. What I'd like to do is a print preview/print function. I can't seem to get my code right, all I get are blank pages in the print preview box.
Dim oExcel As Object = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:DailyLogsDailyLog.xlsx")
PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1
PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()
oExcel.Sheet1.PrintPreview()
So as I see it, this should open excel, then navigate to the actual excel file. The print preview dialog should come up, which it does, and the excel sheet1 should be previewing, but it's not? I don't have any errors, just a blank print preview. At least thats how I see it, but obviously I'm wrong because it won't work.
I have a template in an excel worksheet. I can successfully insert data into the worksheet and print it out with backend coding.
The problem I am facing is, the reverse empty space for the header and side is too much.
Is there any possible way to reduce the empty space?
Using NPOI and attempting to follow a tutorial here: [URL]..I'm coming across an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error at this line: sheet.GetRow(1).GetCell(1).SetCellValue("some test value")
when trying to use this code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Web.Security
Imports NPOI.HSSF.UserModel
Imports NPOI.SS.UserModel
Imports NPOI.SS.Util
Imports NPOI.HSSF.Util
[Code]...
Yet the question is still open...why didn't the code in the first example work? Do you have to declare every new row of data? What happens when you have lots of rows of database data?
I need to open a .xlt for editing, like so:

I am creating and saving a file using VB2005. In doing so, at the very beginning of the line (the file has only one line) there are extraneous characters that are not visible via a tool such as Notepad.exe, but they are there unless the file is saved with Notepad in which case the characters disappear. I expect this is an encoding problem, but I am unsure how to resolve it.
I have attempted both methods of creating and writing to a file shown:
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(fullfilename, fullfiletext, False)
and
file = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(fullfilename, False)
file.WriteLine(fullfiletext)
file.Close()
In both cases the file always gets 3 characters in the start of it hex - ef bb bf
After that, the remainder of the file is fine. What is causing these three hex char and how do I get rid of them ?
Example of file:
0000000 ef bb bf 54 45 53 54 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...TEST. ........
I haven't done any VB coding since school (15 years ago) but currently have a need to run what "sounds" a fairly simple app at work. I'm hoping some of you might be able to give me some pointers as to whether or not my idea is possible, and if it is, how best to approach it.
I work for a company where we send a number of standard emails to potential clients asking them to contribute to our magazine . if no response we then send a number of follow up emails. each and every time I send a new email to a new prospect I'm editing one of our template emails, putting their name and email address into outlook and manually sending emails. Then for every reminder I'm going back into outlook, clicking reply all and then c&p'ing our second or third reminder emails in each and every time. needless to say at least 2-3 hours of my day are spent editing and resending the same emails on outlook.

I want to write a generic file saving routine where the routine is passed data in the form of a collection and it sets a containsStructure flag. I wanted to be able to save the data from the collection, but if it is a collection of structures I want to be able to extract the data from the structure to write to the file.
The only trouble is, that I cannot do something like:
For Each s As dataStructure In data
Next
Since the compiler complains that dataStructure is not defined. Is there a way to code around this?
I'm working on my first T4 code generation tool to add some Stored Procedure helper code to my project. I've created custom types (e.g. StoredProcedure and StoredProcedureParameter to help with my code generation and have included the assembly and namespace references in my code:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="VB" #>
<#@ output extension=".generated.vb" #>
<#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #>
<#@ import namespace="StoredProcCodeGenerator" #>
This allows me to use my custom types in my T4 template code. However, because my custom types exist in the same project as the T4 template code, I can't recompile my project once I run the template code without restarting Visual Studio. This isn't very much fun.
I read a great article that addresses this exact issue by using the T4 Toolbox, but it's not working. Either I'm implementing the VolatileAssembly directive wrong or the T4 toolbox simply didn't get installed. I'm not sure that the toolbox got installed correctly (I'm using VS 2010 on Win XP).

View 2 RepliesI'm reading data from Excel and processing the file line by line.
If the process succeeds then I need to delete that row from Excel and save it. If it fails, then continue with the next line and so on.
Initially I used OLEDB to read data from Excel, but by using this I cannot delete rows.
I think we can solve this by using COM component.
