VS 2008 Custom File Format?
Oct 26, 2009
OK, for those that saw my previous one, this one is different than that, much different.The program I'm making is basically an offline, open source Po, which will allow for people to create their own Databases of Pon, even custom ones, without any hex editing as long as they use the program to create the files. developing a custom format for my program, the ".pid" format, which stands for "Pokex Information Data-File". Yes, I know it's for Poon, but it's a program I promised to end with, and I'm also kinda doing this for myself (Still being a fan of the game series.)w, the file format is done something like this:

The file format has already been explained to me, and I can easily view it in notepad to understand it. It's basically a text file with a fancy extension and what not. The only problem is that I need to read it and pull a certain span of data from it.Here's the basic format:
8200
3251
1
[code].....
This is the first 10 lines, which is useless data for me. However, right after the first 10 lines, is a span of an unknown quantity of lines that I do need that are formatted like so:grassC:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalo Custom itiondatalevelsestlood_creekitmapslood_creek groundThe first line is the name of a bitmap assigned to the ID, while the second line is the path to the bitmap.Finally, after the unknown span of lines, there are two lines that go in this order:01Which I can safely assume at this point that the list no longer needs to be read.What I need to do is be able to open this file, skip over the first 10 lines which are completely useless, and then pull out the unknown gap of lines, and then stop reading when the line is '0', or at the end of the list.

I came across this great article on creating a custom datagridview column which creates a graph-like effect in the cells of a custom datagridview column:[URL]..Does anyone know how you would edit this to format the number in the cell as a percentage? And does anyone know how you would set this up to take 0 values which do not create any graph effects at all.I have been trying to do this but keep getting errors.

The bottom line on a dropped-down datetimepicker shows the date different then in the text-part.In my case, the text-part format was yyyy/mm/dd, but the bottom part of the dropped down part stated Today: dd/mm/yyyy, what is probably the format set in the regional settings.

I want to format the Timespan to have format like this 49 hr 34 mn 20 sec
I used the String format below :
String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", theTimeSpan.TotalHours, theTimeSpan.Minutes, theTimeSpan.Seconds)
It formats the Timespan to this format 49:34:20. How can I add hr mn sec to the String.Format above? or there's another easy way?

I created a new cursor (it works properly, I tried it in windows 7) but is not working for me in the program.I took the Windows cursor (aero_helpsel_xl, from C:WindowsCursors) and it appears to me the same error.i use with this code:
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("Patch..")
The problem say:: "{"Image format is not valid. Image file may be corrupted.
Parameter name: stream "}"
edit: I realized what the problem ... It can read only cur files with 24-bit color and lower - but it shows only two colors: black and white.

What is the right way to use a custom format string on .e.g a zip code?
The zip code in the database might have 9 characters, but the program should only output five. Using string.format("{0:#####}","322318825") will output "322318825", the entire 9-digit code.
Zip codes are only an example. This is actually for a dynamic format function that takes two arguments, one is the format and the other is a database field value. Therefore, it cannot work by being strongly typed.

Code:TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy - HH:mm:ss"This works fine, but what I also want is for the the user to be able to select their time more precisely using miliseconds. After searching around I came across this web page:It has all the different formats on there. If you scroll down you will see format 'f' then format 'ff' then format 'fff', 'ffff', 'fffff', 'ffffff', 'fffffff.'What I am asking is how do I use that in my example?
I tried
Code:
TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy - HH:mm:ss.fff"

I discovered that java uses a reversed way of storing data. For example, the integer value 2 has the following byte values:
In "Windows" format:
[2] [0] [0] [0]
In "Java" format:
[0] [0] [0] [2]
The binary readers of both languages seem to use the same different format. Now my question: What is the easiest way to read binary values (Integer, Single, etc.) in VB .NET from a java formatted file? I already made functions like these:

I'm trying to save a text file with a certain format, kind of trying to create some sort of colums, so when I open it will be easier to read...If I have these four words: Calendar, Car, Time, Airplane; I would like to put them into colums...
vb.net
oWriter.WriteLine("{0,50}{1,10}", "Calendar", "Airplane")
oWriter.WriteLine("{0,50}{1,10}", "Time", "Car")
The problem:When I save it to a text file or print it, it comes out like this:Calendar AirplaneTime CarHow can I put them like "centered", so that doesn't look like that mess...?

I'm running several different automated processes and when I get done with them, I show the results in a form with various controls.
In this form, I use Panels, Labels, TextBoxes, and TreeViews, and ListViews to display a wealth of information.
When the automation part is done, I want to be able to log this info and save that log file on the User's PC.
I thought it would be best to make a custom file extension and then hash it with MD5.
I'm pretty sure I can get all of that done. The problem is that I'm not sure how I would load that info back into the application.
Since the log files will appear on a seperate form, I can't just load the data back into the original controls.
Would it be best to create a blank template of controls and then load the data into those controls? Or is there a way to save content "as is", controls and all?

With String.Format() it is possible to format for example DateTime objects in many different ways. Every time I am looking for a desired format I need to search around on Internet. Almost always I find an example I can use. For example:
String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", DateTime.Now); // "09/05/2012"
But I don't have any clue how it works and which classes support these 'magic' additional strings.So my questions are:How does String.Format map the additional information MM/dd/yyyy to a string result?Do all Microsoft objects support this feature?Is this documented somewhere?Is it possible to do something like this:String.Format("{0:MyCustomFormat}", new MyOwnClass())

I am working on a simple window application (VS2010,VB.NET). It's an HR management App - Employees records.I need simply insert/edit Employee Info, reports in Excel (with out crystal reports) & Show in Grid.So I am thinking of using Telerik RAD WinForms (2011) only because it looks cool. But I also know that Telerik could be a real pain when you need more flexibility.Although my application is quite basic still I want to determine whether I should go with Telerik or just use standard Windows Forms functionality? How can I generate custom report in specific format.Also It would be nice if some one point me to some sample application or VB.NET windows Tutorials?

I have a datagridview (windows forms) that is inside an mdiChild form. The custom format is given by a "for" instance, something like this:
For row As Integer = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
If .Rows(row).Cells("someNumber").Value = 0 Then
.Rows(row).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSeaGreen
End If
Next
So, for every row in the grid that you find, if ther value in the "somenumber" =0 paint the whole row green. Problem is, if I put the form OUTSIDE of the MDIParent - just put frmMyform.show() in my btn that calls the form-, the grid WILL apply the format; If I call it like frmMyform.mdiparent = frmMdi, then frmMyform.show, the grid WILL NOT apply the format.
