I need to print multiple existing files, PDFs. I have the following

Is there another 'better' way of doing this? Sometimes it just doesn't print the PDF, I guess because it's taking longer than the WaitForExit time. And so closes the process.
I have an Excel 2007 workbook chock full o' VBA macros that do various things, including one that jumps from chart to chart making PDFs of each using PDFCreator, based on some code I borrowed from Ken Puls (url...).However recently I and some users of the workbook started having problems where the PDFs would be created with either gray image artifacts over the charts,or the whole chart image would have a double of itself skewed slightly. It just happens the problems started after we did a global upgrade to Office 2007, though I had had 2007 installed on my computer for a while and tested and used the workbook extensively without issue up until then. Here is the part of the code that automates the printing:
Sub PDF_print_all()

The problem is not consistent either... sometimes it will print to PDF with an oddly shaped block of gray, and sometimes it will only have the whole chart image doubled. The only consistency I could find is that sometimes if an object is selected in a chart beforehand (a text box, chart line, axis numbers, etc) the gray artifact will partly mimic the shape of whatever object had been selected.I wish I could include example images to show exactly what's happening.I know it's not a problem inherent to PDFCreator because if I manually print to it in Excel, the PDF image looks perfect. It's only when I use the automated method that the problem occurs, so I thought maybe it was the code.

View 5 RepliesI have an application which has multiple files .rtf I open it on a rich text box.
Here is my code for print preview
PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1
PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()
I press the button for preview and it shows me the preview. But if I change the content of the rich text box with another file, the print preview shows me empty. How I can send it to a new preview?

I have 15 years' worth of files (approx. 10,000) that were created using VB6 structures and stored using the random access method. I am trying to write a conversion routine that will read the old structures and put them into a new format that is more compatible with the .net environment. I have not been able to successfully read any of the old files using the tools available in .net. Each file starts with a header record structure. The header record tells me how many tags are in the file. The next record (ie record number 2) is the first tag pointer record in the file.
There are num_of_tags of the pointer records. Each pointer record has the string that holds the tag's 'literal name and two long integers that tell where in the file this tags records are. Those actual records are stored as History data structures, [Code]
im having a problem with replacing some files in a folder, i have made a Auto Upater for a application im making (so beta testers can test it and also get updated stuff to test) now i can replace the Main application.exe with
If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe") Then
File.Replace(Application.StartupPath + "\update\test.exe", Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe", Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe.old")
End If
This is after i have unziped the main update.zip folder it downloaded
but i also have a Data folder in the Main application folder and inside the new update\Data folder its has updated files now i cant list all files to replace like above as i want be replacing all files all the time, so im looking for something like you have on windows (would you like to replace files) without the prompt its just replaces them, so really im looking for a move and replace without prompting
i have tryed
Directory.Move(Application.StartupPath + "\update\Data", Application.StartupPath + "\Data")
and
Directory.Move(Application.StartupPath + "\update\Data\", Application.StartupPath + "\Data\")
but it errors saying the folder exists and i cant delete the folder as it will have files in that DONT need updating
I have a project that as a standalone runs perfectly. There are a number of routines, forms etc. that I want to incorporate into another solution that I have created. Each time I try, it will load in the new project, but if I try to access anything by clicking on it, one of two things happens, either VS crashes and then restarts OR I get 100+ designer errors thrown.
View 8 RepliesI am currently writing a program in VB 2008. Here is what the program is intended to do: I need it to have two forms of input, so I want it to open existing text files and create new ones. Once the user has selected what input to be taken (either a file is opened or a new one is made, guessing multiple forms need to be used here) the user will then take the text file either created or opened and then be able to click a button which will sort all the text in the text file into alphabetical order and then display the results to the screen. While this happens, I need the words in the file to be counted by a counter (so a loop i guess) that then displays on which line each word appears on. I then need this information to be displayed in a text box on screen.

View 3 RepliesI've got relatively little experience with VB but I've been asked by my employer to try to write a program to automate a billing process. We print PDFs for some of our clients, and we do two copies. One copy goes to the account holder, and one goes to the company that funds the account. So we have a directory structure that looks something like this:
Copies that went to the account holders:
FolderA1234.pdf
FolderB987.pdf
FolderB6767.pdf
[Code]...
As you can see, the file names are the same. But items in FolderA are billed differently than items in FolderB. So the ideal program would be able to go through FolderA and FolderB, collect the filenames, and then go through SubfolderA and SubSubFolderA and report back that, "1 file matched a filename in FolderA. 2 files matched filenames in FolderB". I have no idea where I would beging to write such a program but is this something that is plausible?
My manager says he can probably do something like this in an hour manually so if it would take longer than that to code it's probably not worth it. I'd really like to be able to show some skill and do this, though (I've only been here a few months and this would be a good opportunity to provide some added value).
I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.
How should I handle this:
A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one

I'm automating downloads. I was getting this error quite a bit using Webbrowser to navigate to a PDF (various PDFs at various websites). In other words the PDF was already on display in the browser when I called WebClient.DownloadToFile. I got a LOT better results when I desisted from WebClient and switched to this API (just pass in the two strings along with zeroes for the other parameters).

And yet Webclient seems oriented for only two entries (username and password). How do you set up the credentials for three entries? I hate to abandon WebClient, but at this point I just don't know how to make it work.

Instead an "Error Code 64: Host not available". I'm using the Global.asax file to avoid the web.config and child applications (1.1 & 2.0) inheriting settings.[code]...

Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.
Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

I have a program that produces 22 xps files every day. All the files are in the samedirectory. Currently the lady at the office clicks on a file, XPS Viewer opens, she prints the file on her printer and then close the XPS Viewer. She does this for all 22 files. I want to write a program that can find all the xps files in the directory and print each one.I know how to get the filename of each xps file in the directory but for the life of me I have not been able to get even one to print. I found an example at the Microsoft library and tried it but there were so many errors that it would not compile

I have a directory which has n number of Images (.jpg) files. I want to be able to show a print preview and print those Images.
