Asp.net - Downloaded Word File Displaying Incorrectly?
Nov 5, 2009
I am working on a website at the moment which is displaying a strange bug with generated word documents. The site has a feature on it which allows the user to download a word document containing information related to their visit. This file is generated via some vb.net code and takes an xml template of the final document and inserts the relevant content required.
The strange behaviour is that on some machines the .doc file generated displays fine and on others it displays as XML when opened in Word. Both behaviours have been seen in the same version of Office (2003) but on seperate machines. My question is really whether the error lies with the set up of word on the individual machines, or whether there is an error in the code.
The code to create the file and download it is as follows:
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=MyNewFile")
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
[code]....

I'm using the following code to display an arabic date:
[Code]....
Today this is displaying as 161432. However, according to a user, the arabic text should be in the middle with the year 1432 at the end. However, when you highlight the text, it highlights back to front.

I've nearly finished my latest project (VB 2008 Express Edition) I built the project and ran the .exe from inRelease and it appears and works exactly as it did in Visual Basic
When I carry this .exe to any other computer, it displays differently. The biggest difference is the font size in labels (grows on other machines) and the size of the tabcontrol is a bit larger on other machines. see the links below for comparison (coding machine vs other machine) [URL]
note that both machines were set at the same screen resolution, both were using the default Windows XP "Theme" and display fonts appear to be set the same on both machines. I've tried this on about 3 other XP machines with the same result (only looks correct on the machine I coded on)
I've specifically used Microsoft Sans Serif font, size 8 (VB seems to display this as 8.25pt in the properties window) I have also tried making all labels "UseCompatibleTextRendering" both true and false with the same result. Perhaps something on the original (programming) machine is different that is throwing this off? Am I missing a step when building this project? If other encounter this problem often, what steps do you take (when programming) to avoid this and allow the form(s) to display correct regardless of the user's settings?
Edit: One difference can be found in (Right Click on Desktop -> Properties -> Settings Tab -> Advanced Button) the DPI Setting on the coding machine is Normal Size (96 DPI) The DPI on the other computers is Large Size (120 DPI)
The application will be used by roughly 100 folks on various systems (some Windows ME, most XP). How can I prevent things from going crazy with different user settings?

how I could make an application in visual basic 2008/vb2005 that detects when a new file is downloaded. One of my old time friends created the same app with visual basic 2008. It notifys you when your attempting to download a file. For e.g: I try to download "aim6.exe"
it will show a message: "C:UsersMATTST~1AppDataLocalTempsXx0Fd31.exe.part is attempting to be downloaded"
I think it uses a file system watcher.

I have an xml file that I download from a secure site every 5 minutes, I have the application set to download at 3 minutes after the hour so it runs at 3, 8, 13, and so on. The file is supposed to be there within a minute after the 5 minute increment has occured however this is not always the case, so I changed the download time from 2 minutes after the hour to 3 minutes. However I am still running into issues with it not being there even then. What I want to do is validate the downloaded xml file to ensure that the data is there and if it is not wait 10 seconds and rerun the download again.
if the file is valid it will call the SQL import Sub (),if not it needs to delete the existing file and rerun the download sub again.The problem I am having is that all the examples that I have seen when I google are for validating the xml file prior to upload or upon the xml files creation.

I have searched for almost a hour now, but i can't find the proper code for my purposes.

I have a process serves as an application updater.It checks it's local cache of files and compares this against list of files online.On it's first run there are no files in the local cache and it therefore downloads ~100 of these files.[code]This appears to work very well, since Explorer confirms that all files are extracted and available.However when I later run this process again, it cannot verify the existence of 6 of these files and therefore tries to download them despite the fact that they are clearly both present and up to date.The offending code is a simple File.Exists call which appears to deny the local existence of these files, and therefore tries to get them again.The system continues to work well, but over time the continual downloading of these 6 files is going to get kind of silly.

I can search for the word Love in an .rtf file and return every occurance of the word into a RichTextBox. It returns the word and the scripture the word is in, but it also isreturning a bunch of weird text like: archan78988yykp etc etc. How do I onlyreturn the scripture with the searchedword, in this case the searched word is love. The code I am using is as follows:

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

is there a way to get the raw data of a word file document object?
word = new Word.Application();doc = new Word.Document();
now, I open the word file, do some replace. save the file. I could open the file as raw binary file. but I'm thinking maybe there is a property that can get the raw the data? which property?

Basically, what I am trying to do is scale part of an image. In VB6 the Scaling version of the BITBLT api worked fine, however in .NET's Drawimage version of it works okay, until a different destination size is specified.url...The red is from the next tile on the source image. and the bottom is missing one row of pixels.I have also screened this, and counted that the left side isn't properly doubled and the very first column of pixels is in 1x1 squares instead of 2x2 like the rest of the image.I don't get why it's obtaining outside the range I set, so here is my code incase it helps, note that you'll need to define a blocks array:[code]

I have a label that is supposed to display a word for 5 seconds and then move down the list in a text file and display the next word.I'm oddly able to make it work in random mode, but not going down the list in order.. random would be ok if used words didn't come up again.
Code:
Dim DurHold As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath & "FlashWords.txt")
Dim DurDelimiters() As String = {vbNewLine}
Dim DurTextLines() As String = DurHold.Split(DurDelimiters, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

I have a temp dataset (ds) that I load with data from a filtered dataset. I run this in a loop essentially populating the temp dataset with select records from the main dataset. I then merge the temp dataset back to the main dataset (dsSpecifics). The issue I am running into is that the records are loaded into the temp dataset in the way they were merged. record 1 is at row 0, record 2 is at row 1 and so on. When I merge the ds back to dsSpecifics, they load out of order but in a predictable way. Here is a snipit of the code:
myAircraft.Reset()
While myAircraft.MoveNext()
Me.TblAircraftSpecificTableAdapter.FillBy(Me.DsSpecifics.tblAircraftSpecific, CInt(myAircraft.Key.ToString))
[Code].....
It seems that after the final merge, the merge starts with the last record of ds and and then rolls over to record position 0.

[URL]...The link above is a thread showing the application I'm working on. (2008 Pro)I have since created an MDI Parent form which holds my 16 camera forms. What I am having trouble with is dividing the MDIParent's Width and Height by 4, to display 4 equal height/width camera forms within it.
I've tried all the available properties (Rectangle, ClientArea, etc) and none seem to calculate correctly.Using Me.Width and Me.Height ALMOST worked, but again, it was about an inch too skinny and short.
What do I need to do in order to retrieve the exact size of the MDIParent's Client Area?

I have 2 buttons, named: 'Select item 1' and 'Select item2' to these buttons I have added images. how? when the form loads I execute this
Private Sub LoadButtonImages()
btnCompare1.Image = My.Resources.close1
btnCompare1.ImageAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
[Code]....
when I test the program on my friend's pc it gives an error and does not display the image. ( and yes I already tried putting the executable in exactly the same folder as it is on my pc WITH the image folder.. )
so is there any way to use the first method of loading the images and ensuring the size is correctly? Ive added 2 screenshots to show you what I mean by incorrect size..

I am working in VB.net 2008. I have a Window application that will be used to eliminate a lot of manual copy and paste activates from one work sheet to anther. Workbook 1 (wbMatrix)Never has the same layout twice. The destination Workbook2(wbTemplateSAS)has a defined layout that remains constant. To collect the copy ranges the user pouplates the text box on the form. Only the textbox that need popualted. There are 16 total. These textbox values are then concantianted to create the range. This process is intiated with button click.
When itinated the copy and paste works but not as expected. Cell.text range paste correctly In A9, OEC range paste correctly in P9. After that it skips the next colume as it should. Then in colume R9 the error starts the a paste of the range A10:B10 form wbMatrix is pouplated in R9:S9 Then It paste accoring to the application T9. Then in U9:X9 it paste date for wbMatrix A10:D10. It paste correctly again in Z9. it has the same error agiain till the next Range. It then paste correctly in 9AD. This should be the last paste that have values entered in the textbox to create the range. But it does not finish it paste the balnce of the cells form wbMartix on wbTempateSAS.
To sumerize above
wbMatrix Paste to wbTemplateSAS
First Row =10
Last Row = 158

I have an application that I'm deploying using Clickonce that includes the Report Viewer. On my development machine, the reports work perfectly. However, on client machines, the reports are having printing problems. On some machines, the first print sends a 2 page document to a printer that displays an error message. On those machines, printing the second time is successful. On other machines, the first attempt doesn't get sent to the printer at all. Subsequent attempts work just fine.This happens each time a form with the report viewer is displayed - the user must print twice to get a correct print-out of the report.
NOTE: if I create a network shortcut to the application for a user that has NOT installed the Clickonce app, they are able to print from the Reportviewer without any issues. However, once they install the Clickonce app, the Reportviewer is "broken" (for lack of a better word) and won't print on the first attempt in ANY application.I know that I probably need to do something in my Publish settings to force the correct, newer version of the Reportviewer to be installed, but I can't figure out what that is.
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Reportviewer selected in the Prerequisites list, and there are 4 Reportviewer files in the Application Files list:Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll - Prerequisite (Auto)Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll - Prerequisite (Auto)Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll - Prerequisite (Auto)Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.xml - Exclude (Auto)?

I'm exporting a datagridview to excel. The first column is a Date (not DateTime) which appears like '2/15/2011'. After exporting the datagridview to excel it appears in excel as '2/15/2011 0:00', furthermore the first 68 rows in excel appear as '6/14/1898 12:00:00 AM'. Where is the time coming from? The column type in the database is date. I've attempted to edit the cell style of the datagridview column to date. I've attempted to figure out how to pre-program the formatting in excel, but it's not working either.

i recently received a new work pc and have installed visual studio 2010 premium on it. this was installed on my old machine as well, the only differece between the two PCs being my old one was 32bit and the new one is 64bit.With that said, when i create a windows form project and drop a control on a form, double click that control, the default event code is created for me.It is missing the "ByVal" portion of the code. Using a textbox as an example, below is the code it generates. Is there a setting that I'm just missing and need to turn on? I've been using visual studio since version 2005 and i've never seen this before.
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
