View 3 RepliesFor a labels text I need to use the & symbol in the text, so I did this:
Const symbol As Char = Chr(38) and I am using like this:
Me.Label1.Text = "Welcome to A " & symbol & " R Storage Management Systems" I am looking for this because it is how the business name is spelled: A & R Storage
any other Char symbol I use in place of 38 will display the Char, but not the ampersand, it leaves a blank spot. Any advice. And yes I know the & is used to concatenate string variables, but I should be able to use it as a Char.
I am trying to convert a string to double and it is giving error. Bye the way it is not giving error on my PC but it gives on some pc's where other clients are using. String is retrieved from xml data.
<data><vitals>
<username>aiglemedia</username>
<balance>49.60</balance>
</vitals></data>
vb code
Dim curBalance As Double
xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("vitals")......xmlDoc contains the above xml data
curBalance = System.Convert.ToDouble(xmlNode.Item(0).Item("balance").InnerText)... I think so error is on this line.
Below is the link for the error given by the client who is using the app [URL]

I have a column of data in my text file datafile coming over as a string value 06/05/2011 12:00:00 AM opened in notepad all my fields are in quotes. "06/05/2011 12:00:00 AM"If I open the file in excel it displays 06/05/2011 0:00 If i then save that file back into excel it removes the quotes 06/05/2011 0:00 If I open the excel saved version my schema file will read the date as a date But If I open the version that has the quotes "06/05/2011 12:00:00 AM" and manipulate the string to "06/05/2011 0:00" and try to parse the column I get error string not recognized as valid date time

how to handle this situation, all i need is i want to check a string for convert able to valid date format & then convert the same.
I need to convert between Drawing.Font.Size (float, ?) and WPF FontSize (double, WPF pixels).Finally, I decided to store in the database the fontSize in inch...How can I convert the GDI FontSize to inch and the WPF FontSize to inch?
sizeInInch = wpfFontSize / 96
sizeInInch = gdiFontSize / ?
Can I use something DPI independent? Maybe System.Windows.FontSizeConverter?I need to convert to something, that will allow me to switch multiple time between WPF and GDI without changing the "real value". Each division and following multiplication will accumulate errors...
FontSizeConverter does a ConvertTo, but I don't understand to use it:
myUniversalFontSize = (double)(myFontSizeConverter.ConvertFrom(
gdiFont.SizeInPoints.ToString() + "pt"))
will transform my gdiFont size in ...? WPF Pixels?How now should I convert back that value to GDI?
gdiFont.SizeInPoints = myUniversalFontSize / 96 * 72???
Can I use in the second example the myFontSizeConverter too?

View 1 RepliesA co-worker is having a problem trying to display the time in a label. He wants the AM/PM to display smaller than the time numerals. Neither of us knows of any way to change the font size within the same label, so we tried using two labels. That works for the different sizes, but we can't seem to get the appearance to 'flow' correctly without overlapping the labels, and then part of the text gets cut off.
We tried setting the padding to 0, but that still leaves a noticeable gap. We tried setting the background of the front label to transparent, but that didn't work for some reason. The left label (time) in right-aligned and the right label (AM/PM) is left-aligned, and that's as close as we can come.
Any way to either change the font size within one label or to overlap two labels without one obscuring part of the other? Or, maybe, a way to create a label so the text actually starts at the very edge of the label? (I'm doubting this last-I suspect the problem is that each character is defined, by the font, as occupying a 'block' of space.)
How do I make it so that each item in a listbox can have a different font color? This is the only basic code i know that can change the font color of the listbox items. When I go to add a 2nd item and set the color, the first item in the listbox also changes to that color, I don't want that.
ListBox1.ForeColor = ColorDialog1.Color

View 11 RepliesI have set my forms font as "Segoe UI, 14.25pt" and have just placed an single label on the form.
Upon placing the label by default it gets the forms font i.e Segoe UI, 14.25pt
i have placed the following code on the labels textchange event
Private Sub Label1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.TextChanged
Dim f As New Font(Me.Label1.Font, FontStyle.Italic)
Label1.Font = f
MessageBox.Show(Label1.Font.Name)
End Sub
Now when the form is loaded , i get a message box showing the labels font name as "Microsoft Sans Serif"
The labels font size also changes to 8 but it is italic.
Why is this happening? And why does the textchange event occur on the form load?
why the buttons in an application I developed, shifts from its original position whenever the font size of the Windows is changed to Extra Large (Properties > Appearance > (Font Size=Extra Large).

View 2 RepliesI am allowing the users to be able to make their own font choices for a listview. What would you consider the best approach for this.

View 10 RepliesHow can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default.

View 1 RepliesI'm saving the font of a label to a text file, and when I open the text file with my program, I want the label to have the same font that is listed within the text file.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
