I found this code snippet made with c# OK, let's say I have a PDF document called "Form.pdf" with 4 form fields. The form fileds are "name", "address", "postal_code" and "email".Here's the code to create a new PDF file using "Form.pdf" as a template:
private void fillForm()
{
string formFile = @"N:.NETForm.pdf";
string newFile = @"N:.NETFilled-out Form.pdf";

How do I create a Windows form template? want to avoid adding all graphics setting up all other objects each time I create a new form. I am sure there must be an easy way of doing this but I just cant see how.
View 7 RepliesIn VB.NET,I want to create template at runtime and save it the template with name. for ex : Administrator design a page with 5 fields like using firstname, lastname, dob,nationality and job. He want to assign this page to the user with some restriction like user1 need to enter the all the fields and save it the forms as user1profile, but user2 need to enter only firstname and lastname and save it as user2profile.(in features, he can remove the fields from the form).
View 1 RepliesI am designing a form that will create a template of data that will later be loaded into another form.From a menu command "Create New Template" I will need to ask how many Fields will be needed for the new template in an input box. If the user would input say 10, then I need to generate 10 labels, 10 text boxes, & 10 combo boxes. Each group (label, Text Box & Combo Box) on its own row on the form.I also want create the data mapping for each of them at this time.Once I have achieved this then I will add a form that will lookup the template name, and row count given from the above form via the database and load the required rows of items for further data entry.
Since I will have a MAX row limit I thought about designing a form using a Table Layout panel with 25 Rows and 5 columns then doing some sort of .visible true/false for the layout panel row after the user input of row/field quantities.Another question is resizing the form around only the visible rows.

View 1 RepliesI have an application that I'm writing that needs to allow the user to be able to create templates and save them for how the applicaton will work. For instance, lets say I am provisioining mobile devices, and my application allows the user to create a template to only install "application1" on the device, with "application1" settings for "devicetype1". But then if the user has "devicetype2", he or she can select the template that they created to install the software for that kind of device. I've looked around and all I find is the .exe.config for read only application settings, and I have found the user.config for the read/write variables. But that won't work as my application could have several templates depending on what the user chooses. I'm looking to have my app have a "create template", "edit existing template, and"use existing template" buttons, and have my config file extension like *.ipx for example.
View 1 Repliescreate a Class Template for VB so that when I click Add -> Class, in the Add New Items window, that class will be displayed? And also the variables that are needed inside the class. I guess I need a tutorial.
View 3 RepliesForgive me if this has already been covered in a previous post. I am considering using VB.net for a project but need to know before I dive in if it can perform this particular functionality. The application I wish to develop would need to be able to create html and email templates using variable tokens - what I mean is that users would need to be able to insert into their html or email template previously assigned variables that would send dynamically generated text from the database - so, for example, they could write in their template {title}, or {firstname} {lastname} which would then be replaced by the data from the db.

View 2 RepliesI want to create a Windows Service using VB.Net, but in VS2008 Standard, you don't seem to get the "Windows Service" template I've used before.

I'm working on my first T4 code generation tool to add some Stored Procedure helper code to my project. I've created custom types (e.g. StoredProcedure and StoredProcedureParameter to help with my code generation and have included the assembly and namespace references in my code:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="VB" #>
<#@ output extension=".generated.vb" #>
<#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #>
<#@ import namespace="StoredProcCodeGenerator" #>
This allows me to use my custom types in my T4 template code. However, because my custom types exist in the same project as the T4 template code, I can't recompile my project once I run the template code without restarting Visual Studio. This isn't very much fun.
I read a great article that addresses this exact issue by using the T4 Toolbox, but it's not working. Either I'm implementing the VolatileAssembly directive wrong or the T4 toolbox simply didn't get installed. I'm not sure that the toolbox got installed correctly (I'm using VS 2010 on Win XP).

However, I have two issues:
1. Before word prints, I'm asked to select the printer etc. not exactly the nice automated application I was looking for.
2. Even though I get a nice printed out doc I was looking for, I also get a nasty looking error at the end which "loops" until I close my app -2147417848: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800010108(RPC_E_DISCONNECTED))

View 1 RepliesI downloaded Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition last night (the total download took about 3 hurs, but I digress). I started duing the little "Learn Visual Basic" tutorials. I've gotten to "Communicating with Your Program's User: The User Interface" and it asks me to open up a new project. Alright, fine, nothing I haven't done yet. But the problem is that it wants me to open the new project up in Windows Form Application.

View 3 RepliesI have a project that will need several forms with a similar structure - a Data Grid View control, a few buttons and some textboxes. They are not similar enough to use just one form and change things programatically so I would like to create a "template" and add several copies of it into my project. My first attempts have failed miserably, ending up with lots of "conflicts" and "duplicate items".
So, how should I save a form from my existing project in such a way that I can then load in multiple copies (giving them suitably different names) without having name conflicts?

Is there a way to directly access a string in a .resx? I have several different projects, and the .resx was created using a SharpDevelop template "Misc>>Empty resource file."
I've tried most of the methods online, such as:
= new ResourceManager ("ProjectEtc.resxFileName",
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly)
but I receive the same error:Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or neutral culture. Make sure "ProjectEtc.resxFileName.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Project calling" at compile time...
It would appear that I need to convert my .resx too a .resource file, which I would rather not do.
Am I missing out on some steps by using a #develop template?
Wait a second... is this even the best way to store constant strings in .NET?
