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 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:
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'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}"
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?
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:
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?
I'm using the following function to generate a list of users connected to a selected database. How would I change this to a single line for multiple identical results?For example: "sa (3) - MYCOMPUTER" rather than listing "sa - MYCOMPUTER" three times?
Function ConnectedUsers(ByVal SelectedDatabase As String, ByVal SelectedInstance As String) Dim myCommand As SqlCommand Dim dr As SqlDataReader
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
So i wrote a script which does a few things and richtextbox2 is updated as follows:
a = 27,130,000,000 b = 2,930,000,000 c = 4,290,000,000
Problem is, when i copy the contents of richtextbox2 to the clipboard using "clipboard.settext(richtextbox2.text)" and then open up note page, and paste the clipboard contents, it is wrapped wrongly and i get the following in note pad:"a = 27,130,000,000 b = 2,930,000,000 c = 4,290,000,000"
I am using "system.envoronment.newline" in my code to start a new line.
if this is not the right area to be posting this. I couldn't find an area dedicated to discussion about IDE features.Somehow one of my .vb files is not showing the nice formatting that is default in VS2008, such as the text colors, etc. how I can get this back? I don't know what to search for, as I don't know what its actually called. On the left you see what I want, and on the right you see what I have right now.
I'm working on my very first VB 2008 Express program, having a little bit of experience with VB 6.For my first VB 2008 program, I'm starting out simple. I have two text boxes, named Title and Director.You input text into each text box.I also have a button named GENERATE, which generates a text file named c.est.txt and stores the text box material.[cod]I know how to do this with VB 6, but not with VB 2008, and my research hasn't come up with an explanation of how to format this correctly.So how do I revise this code so that there is a line for each text box string, how do I get rid of the System.Windows.Forms.TextBox stuff and replace it with my own headers, and how do I double-space between lines?
lets just say this is my 5th hour (and counting) learning programming, i googled since hour 1, i even read almost all i can read while im installing visual studio 2010 coz i really want to learn this programming language coz somebody said that this is an easy language to learn coz of GUI..on this onei got a program here with 10 textboxes and 3 buttons, and i want to save every text on that textboxes in a file (myfile.txt)..i did that by using this commands
Button 1 Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
I am a vb newbie having some trouble with an assignment. A user enters a letter into a text box, and the output must make the letter uppercase and tell what position the letter is at in the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."
Here is my
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
[CODE]...............
This is what comes out: "A first occurs in position -1". Everything comes out except the position is always displayed as -1.
I know how to use the dataformattext field with a boundfield but now i am taking two of my columns and dividing them for a percentage so i want {0:P1} also how can i stop divide by 0 errors
I am writing a new app that has some special text formatting requirements, but I'm finding it difficult to get the text to line up properly. I am currently using the following code:
In this section, I am trying to manually add in tabs and line spaces so the string is formatted when displayed via the pre tag. But this does not work.[code].Is it possible to display HTML as text on your page in a formatted manner? For example, it should contain white spaces, tabs etc etc for readability purposes:From another question, I have learned how to display HTML as text as follows:[code]
code used to print a certain text from and RTF box with different formatting for different words. Also, can I print preview it and page setup it. I tried to use the print dialogs but could not do it.
Okay, so what I want to do is directly output formatted RTF text to a Rich Text Box control in VB.NET. I don't want to find the text, select it and color it as it is not practical for what I'm doing. I've tried outputting RTF code but that isn't working either. Can I actually do this or will I have to write a dll?
I have a javascript code that will output text in a separate textbox. Id like to try and do the same thing in my application now. Basically what I want to be able to do is type in a phone number and when the area code is entered to have it display the state.
Input textbox : 512 Output textbox : TEXAS
I have no idea if it is possible or how to do that.
I'm try to come up with a way for a user to enter a date and time into a textbox and for that value to be saved as a datetime variable back into a database. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a clever way to restrict what values a the user can enter so that the datetime datatype isn't corrupted. I've been playing around with the date time picker but I cannot seem to get that to work for me. I'd like the user to either pick the date and time from a picker and save that into a variable. Or I've seen applications where the textbox will automatically have a formatting type of template that makes it hard for the user to enter an invalid date and time.
I have some WORD files, which are formatted using bold, italic and colors etc. I want to copy entire content of word file into SQL Server table using Visual Basic.NET.I have a RichTextBox on my form and used datatype nvarchar(max) to store Unicode Hindi data. Everything is working fine... data insert and retrieve is OK, but formatting is GONE.
I'm reading in values from an array of arbitrary size into a text box. Easy enough. However, in my application, certain values of the data are unusable and I'd like to give a visual warning to the user when this occurs. Whenever the data is either negative or greater than 10, I'd like to display that value in red. How can I do this with a RTB?
ok so i got this program it populates a 20 bound two dimensional array with random number, the first column shows the numbers in random order, the second column in ascending order, the third column in descending order, it all seems to work fine except when i get a random number that is 7 digits or less, it throws my formatting off making some of the numbers appear crunched into the left column
here is a picture of the output:
here is my code for module 1:
Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim arraySorter As New Sorter
Ok so I have a program that is setup to create a textdocument formatted like this: @FName@ !LName! $Age$ &Location&..on each line. But I need in the program to load the text into designated columns for the listview by placing the text in the columns using the symbols as start and finish points for the information to be loaded line by line. I'm just not entriely sure how to do that.[code]
