I want to set different margins in richtext box in vb express 2008
what I want to do is like this need to set left margin of 2.7" and right margin of 2.4" and one blank lines precede after that. and left margin 1.0" from the left edge of the page and the right margin is at 7.4" from the left edge of the page.
I set my print margins for my report to all be 0.3in.Top, Left and right would print 0.3, but the bottom part of my report would cut off and print on the second page. It cuts at a muck bigger margin, about 1inch(which is the default margin on a report).

I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.
Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

View 10 RepliesI am creating a label program and I would like to set the margins of the page for each of the labels. There are 20 labels per 8 1/2" x 11" page at 1 14/16" H x 1 11/16" per label. I would like to know how to set the margins for each label on the sheet. Is there a chart that shows the X and Y coordinates of the page or is there a mathematical equation? Each label would have to be different is there similar code out there that I could get some Ideas?

I searched many pages but unfortunately found nothing. In fact the problem is Printable Area. Microsoft says: The printable area of a page varies from printer to printer and is not guaranteed to be symmetrical.
Does anybody have any code VB which will print a 1cm x 1cm box on a page which is located 1cm from the top and left edages of the paper for any printer?
I think the answer to the question depends on finding hard margins of the printer.
I am printing a receipt with the following code:
Dim printFont As New System.Drawing.Font("Courier New", 10, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)
e.Graphics.DrawString(sPrintText, printFont, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 10, 6)
[code]....
I want to utilize the maximum paper area (A4 size sheet). Therefore I must get the minimum margins that specific printer can handle. I have more printers attached to th pc, so I can not hardcode these values. I have tried to set margins to zero, but that results in printing outside the page at right side and bottom:
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 0
So my question is: is it possible to read the selected printers minimum margins without have to open a PageSetupDialog, and therefore make it possible to utilize maximum printing area with code only?
I would like the size of a label to be identical to the space used by the text inside. The height and width of a label does indeed change depending on its content (text property and its font), but there is a wide margin that I would like to remove.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to print a full page of lines, labels, and variables to match a physical form that I have. When I go to print the form, everything is moved down and to the right. I have tried to set the margins to 0 and have also tried OrginsAtMargins but neither have corrected the problem. So basically, I am trying to get the margins to be set at 0 so I can use the whole 8.5x11 (minus a little on the sides; about .25 of a inch) to print. What is weird is the print preview is fine but when it prints it's down and the right. So getting it so it prints how it does in print preview would be great. [URL].
View 1 RepliesIn onw of our application, we have some reports that need very specific margins that are dependant of the printer the user have. It is used to print into preformated paper with blanks to fill and depending of the printer, the printing is off by some margins. To make things worse, we don't actually control what printer is used because it is not an internal application.
The only solution I could think of is to let the user configure the margins somehow. I though I could just dinamycally change the report margins like I did with datasources and actual report ( I have one control that is used to display every reports from my application and it works alright), but I can't seem to find that damn property to do so. There is a margin property on the report viewer but it's for the form display so it doesn't cut it.What I was thinking to do is to define the margins before the user loads the report, i.e. when he clicks on the report button, I load the report, set the margins (or vice-versa is necessary) and then display it.
Before someone mention it, I know the user can, once the report is loaded, change the page setup to fit his needs, but this has two drawbakcs. First one is that it is not saved each time and I need it to be 'saveable' and by users. The second one is that Report viewer seems to have some bugs when the regional setting aren't set to what it's expecting and we can't force the users to changes their setting to accomodate one application.
I am using this code but pagesetup dilog does not effect the print.
