VS 2008 Any Primer For Formatting Output In Console App
Mar 18, 2012
I would like to have my output in columns, and the numbers in two digit after the decimal.
I am writing a data validation app where the app asks the user for input like give me a number of double type: and hopefully the user will comply.
But the app will test some validation rules and then:
1) if the user simply pressed enter the app will tell the user all sorts of reasons why the input was rejected. And that part should look like a table with columns for the entry, if it passed true, otherwise false and then the reason line empty input. Or this number is a string.

I am currently trying to save a piece of data extracted from a piece of hardware in my office and save it as a text file. The problem now is, the text file saves the data like this:
[code].....
There are 3 buttons and 5 textboxes in my program. ignore the "plot" button as that is a machine specific code, as well as any weird lines like
Dim mgr As Ivi.Visa.Interop.ResourceManager
as these were provided by my machine vendor. I only need help with the data formatting.I am trying to program the "Agilent 8757D Scalar Network Analyzer.

I'm having trouble lining up data from a file with their respectable columns in a list box. I am using print zones to space out data evenly, but when i run the program the output is still messy. So I need lining up columns properly together. As of now, the first 2 list box items line up with each other perfectly, the data i am looping through to add to list box is not lining up correctly. I have changed my zones several times, but still no luck.
A chunk of my code (some) :
Dim fmtstr1 As String = "{0,-5} {1,20} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
Dim fmtstr2 As String = "{0,-5} {1,20} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
Dim fmtstr3 As String = "{0,-5} {1,10} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
[CODE]...

Ex) Dim fmtstr as string="{0,15}{1,10}{2,8}" if I understand correctly the leftmost number is the zone number and the number to the right is the character width?

Is there a rule of thumb used to set the character width of a zone?
For example:
Dim fmtstr As String = "{0,-10}{1,12}{2,14}{3,12}"
lstcolleges.Items.Clear()
lstcolleges.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtstr, "College", "enrollment", "endowment", "public ss"))
This will align the text nicely into a list box. How do I determine how to set the character width?

I have been searching for a way to format output using writeline/write (streamwriter)using RTF tags and wondering if there is a syntax for this, if it exists. I have not been able to find a resource which clearly explains how to "pretty" up output sent to a file.
The reason why I am asking is because I want to "print" results from my program into a file that, at the very least, would be centered, tabbed and even bolded where possible without requiring the user to go and futz with it. I think I saw that Crystal Reports won't work with VB 2010 Express and, quite frankly, just want to create a file with output.

So I'm attempting to get three variable to print in a string, but I can't figure out how to make the Concat or Join commands to work properly. I've tried assigning the strings to a defined string variable and then "concatting" that and trying to do it in one big line. I keep getting an error either way. Here's what I have so far:
Str1 = PaymentNumInteger
Str2 = NewBalanceDecimal.ToString("C")
Str3 = MonthlyIntPayDecimal.ToString("C")

I am building an XML string programatically using the XmlWriter ...
sb = New StringBuilder()
writer = XmlWriter.Create(sb)
writer.WriteStartDocument()
[Code]......
I want to be able to output the XML to a TextBox control on a ASP.NET webform. When I do output the XML I don't get any line breaks or indentation in the XML. The XmlWriter does not seem to have any properties to set formatting. Is there anyway to retain formatting and indentation?

How to format numbers in VB.Net. All I want is properly inserted commas in my final output. Such as:
lvwItem.SubItems.AddRange(New String() {ConvertToMegabytes(CULng(LogicalDrive.TotalSize)).ToString})
I have three functions which I use to convert various numbers to MB GB and TB. I would like to have the final output number be properly formatted with commas as necessary.
Private Function ConvertToMegabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " MB"
End Function
Private Function ConvertToGigabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " GB"
End Function
Private Function ConvertToTerabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " TB"
End Function

I've got an old dynamic link library that I'm using which was created primarily to be used in a console environment. As such it generally indicates what it's doing through Console.Write(). I've recently created a windows form which is using some of the functions from this library. I'd like to be able to grab the console output and place it in a textbox on my windows form so that the user can have some indication of the progress (right now it just says "Working").

send the text from a certain line in the hidden console window to a textbox in the form, but I need this output while the console application is still running in a hidden window. Since I am going to have multiple instances of this console application running, I have assigned their processes to an array and each have a separate "hidden" console window. After I launch these applications (with different arguments assign to them), they require no input and will run until I ".kill them" using the GUI.The console application was written in the old C and it's source code scares me.
I am creating this GUI "bolt on" application for it in VB.NET 2005 to clean up desktop space (save me from 30 console windows) and to be able to start, stop, and monitor them from a single clean GUI.Attempted solutions:I have reviewed the information [URL]But again, that just tells me how to capture the output of it after the console application has exited, which I already know how to do and I do not wish to kill the application just to see a certain line of it's output as it would obviously interrupt what it is doing.
