View 2 RepliesI have a situation where I have an xml document that has a bunch of elements that I basically use as data variables. I populate the variables from various sources and then transform the xml file to an html file for user viewing.having to remember the names of all the data elements in the file is somewhat tedious. Is there a way to generate a strongly typed xml document object so that one can simply dot into the various data elements?
View 5 RepliesI'm building an application that is intended to function off and online using the new Local Database Cache functionality included with Visual Studio 2008. My issue however does not pertain to that directly, as I have a pretty good understanding of how to use it and how it functions. My issue is with getting an understanding on how to directly write to a SQL database.
Most of the tutorials, videos and education available when it comes to databinding makes the assumption that I need my application to pull data and edit it, but in my case all I really need (in fact intentionally all I want) is for the application on Submit to write data that it pulls from the form as a new record in a SQL table.
Here is what the program looks like now.
Public Class StatCom
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
At the moment the program simply does a status check for connectivity and wether it can ping the server (in this case the SQL server) for the purpose of displaying a online or offline status in the form.
I follow it up by making the status checks.
Finally I declare all the various fields I want to capture and write to the database.
What I want to do now is have a SUBMIT button that on click takes all the data in the form and writes a new record to the database I have already setup and have data connection to.
I know that the code has to be written using the .recordset functionality, but I haven't found any could tutorials on the subject that have turned on the light upstairs.

View 3 RepliesI've created some windows in wpf that I need to print to one xps document. Each window opens, loads the relevant data and then immediately closes. Currently I use the below code to create the xps:
Using doc = New XpsDocument(TempLoc, FileAccess.Write)
Dim writer = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(doc)
Dim collator = writer.CreateVisualsCollator()
Dim Window1 As Window1 = New Window1()
Window1.ShowDialog()
[Code] .....
However the trouble with this approach is that the area printed varies between machines - I assume this is due to the local screen size being used etc. Is it possible to make the program print the full window independent of the computer its on by modifying this code?
I am about to develop a software (VB .Net) that generates and reads barcodes. The backend db is sql server. 1. I have a major id and sub ids. For example I have major ID A, and subgroups A0, A1, An. Also I could have more detailed subgroups like A01, A02 and so on. I need to generate and print these barcodes from my VB application. 2. The handheld scanner is used to read the generated barcodes and pull their data and show them on the screen.

View 2 RepliesFound some code for printing documents, as I've never tried it before. My main focus is to print the content of a listbox to a sheet of paper. What I found uses a type of ListItem, which doesn't seem to be available for a Windows Form outside of web dev.
My attempt was to add all items to an array and then cycle throught the array to create a new line after every array entry. I think that portion is functioning as desired, but I'm not quite sure if I'm handling the print function correctly.

I am trying to essentially allow the user to merge data from a database onto a document and print it. I am new to working with the PrintDocument, but I believe this would be the way to accomplish this. I know how to print the text onto the PrintDocument at a certain position, but what I am trying to figure out is how to deal with the coordinates of the text I am drawing on the PrintDocument. Ideally, I would love to click on the PrintDocument in a PrintPreviewControl and capture the coordinates of the PrintDocument.

I have this particular problem with this Property found in System.Printing namespace. I am trying to get the number of pages of a document but it always returns 0. I have posted this problem here some some days back back it seems there is no answer for this problem but rather people direct me to use PrintQueueWatch which is an open source namespace to monitor print document.
Try
'This side always records the print command transactions

I need to generate a list that I can copy and then paste into a Word Document. I tried using a listbox, but I couldn't copy from that.

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition under Window XP.I am able to generate a document that I can preview and print on my printer using PrintDocument1_PrintPage and PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog() without problems.I would like to be able to save the document as a file that could eventually be printed with a Word Processing program such as MS Word or other Word Processor.I have added a PrintDialog to my form and have set the folowing:
PrintDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1 PrintDialog1.AllowPrintToFile = TruePrintDialog1.PrintToFile =
TruePrintDialog1.ShowDialog()
When I run it, I get a Dialog Box with a "Print to File" checkbox that is checked. I do not seem to be able to specify a file name or location. When I click the "Print" button, I don't get any error messages and the dialog box just closes. I can't find anywhere that the file is saved.

I have a user control which consists of a dataviewgrid with some extra panels controls etc.I have just updated this program from an old version of vb where the tab control was just a row of tabs with no actual child pages attached.so to use several of these userControls (called 'Pages' from now on) a Panel was created and placed underneath the tabs to give the illusion of tabpages.when a user clicked a tab the relevant 'Page' was brought to the top of the Z order. This was accomplished with a directory of the 'Pages'..This all worked fine until I decided to change to using the TabControl in VS 2010.
So I didn't need the Panel anymore I just added the 'Pages' to the TabPages instead and I could also get rid of the directory to access the pages as it is not needed for display purposes anymore and for other access I could use the Tabcontrol.TabPages collection instead.Now when each 'page' is created and setup the dataviewgrid is loaded with a Table and the columns are re-ordered.I am loading approx 20 'pages' to the tabcontrol 1 to each newly created tabpage obviously. this is done using using a for each loop from a DB table.now the problem is that the first 'page' dataview grid has the columns re-ordered but none of the others do ! the Data is fine it's just the column order that's wrong.the same code is used for all (The setup is method of the 'Page') and i have stepped through the code and it all works OK with no exceptions. no code is missed but the grid order is OK for the first 'page' but not the others.everything else works fine the 'Pages' are all on the TabPages and the data is OK..Now comes the really weird bit! if I add the 'page' to the old unused panel before i add it to the Tabpage all the grids are re-ordered fine as in [code] Now the Panel is visible but not on screen if you see what i mean obviously if i move it on screen it's empty as the 'page' control can only be in one place and it's on the Tabcontrol..so why is it working ONLY when I add it first to the unused Panel? what is happening here? Oh BTW it only works for this Panel - not if i create a new one and add it to that..AND if the Panel Visible property is set to false the columns are not re-ordered again? I have tried deleting the panel and all code that uses it but the grids are not ordered properly till i re-instate the panel?

View 11 RepliesI have a datagridview that is scrollable due to number of columns necessary.When I edit a cell, I display a multi-column listview that shows the item that will fill the cell in the first column and some form of description or other information in the second and sometimes third column (this should answer why I didn't use a combobox in the column in the first place).When I display the listview, when I scroll the datagridview, the listview stays put (as is the obvious). Is there a method to anchor, for want of whatever the proper term is, the listview object to the datagridview cell associated with it so when I scroll, the listview also moves? Or do you have to do calculations and adjust the positioning and repaint the object?
