Text -> Excel Conversion (with Extensive Formatting Required After Conversion)?
May 11, 2012
I'm creating a program in VB.net that does the following:At a high level I receive a file in email, put the attachment in a monitored folder, import the text file to excel, format the excel, and then email the excel file to a list of recipients.
Here is my plan:
Completed: Outlook VBA to monitor all incoming email for specific message. Once message is received drop attached .txt file in a specific network folder.
Completed: (VB.net) Monitor folder, when text file is added begin processing
Not Complete: (VB.net) Import text file to Excel
Not Complete: (VB.net) Format Excel Text file.(add in a row of data,format column headers with color/size, add some blank columns, add data validation to some of the blank columns that allow drop down selections)
Completed: (VB.net) Save file.
Completed: (VB.net) Send file to list of recipients.
Obviously the items above that are not complete are the bulk of the work, but I wanted to get some advice on what some of you think would be the best way to approach something like this. The import and formatting of the file are causing me some problems because I just can't decide what would be the most efficient way to do this.
The way stated above. Import to excel -> format Having a template excel that contains all of the formatting already done for me and attempting to transition the data to this document (no clue if/how I can do this). Is it even feasible? Have the template already created and then import the text file to a new excel file, then transition that data to the excel template?
Something I thought about, in terms of formatting the document, was to record a macro of me doing all of the formatting that I'm going to need and then attempt to convert that macro into my vb.net code, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will need to verify that the text file comes in the EXACT format every time correct?

I'm coming to the conclusion that the things I want to do in a database are better done if I run a conversion code from Excel to Access, do mighty things in Access, then have the option of converting back to Excel to distribute elsewhere. I'm already familiar with using Access and the code I keep finding in threads almost always refers to .mdb files. Below is a conversion that does not seem to work (button2). I'm trying to do this through ADO with OleDb connections. If I can convert to Access much will make sense.
Public Class Form1
Private Adapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()

I'm looking for a way to save text directly to an encrypted file, without saving it to a plain text file and encrypt this text file afterwards.
I don't care about the encryption type used as long as it is easy to implement and secure enough..

I am making a program, where the user enters 6 numbers in 6 different text boxes, and it displays the larger of those 6 numbers. But I also want to make it where if the user enters a string value (like S for instance) in the text boxes, it gives an message and says "please enter the numbers again" and the user gets to enter the 6 numbers again. But when I do try to do that, it gives an error message saying conversion from "w/e the user entered" to Double is not valid. If the user just enters the numbers, it works fine. However, I am trying to make it if the user does enter non numeric value, it gives a message window and the user can reenter the numbers again.
Here is my code Example
CODE:
This is where I am trying to use IsNumeric to show a message if a user does not enter a string so the user can renter the numbers again, but when the user does enter a string value (say in textbox 1) it gives me an error message saying conversion from "S" to 'double' is not valid.
CODE:
Then right here this is where I have my series of ifs statements, this part works fine, it displays the largest numbers of the 6 textboxes every time. Error free.
CODE:
And do this with variable number 2, 3, 4, 5.
I know there are easier ways to do these with arrays and stuff. But I am not there yet. I am still learning about ifs and stuff.

I have a snippet that I need help modifying to work in VB.NET.1. Attribute VB_Name = "DBModule" gives error 'Declaration expected'.Am I missing a library reference here?Also, the project conversion tool chokes on four statements, one of which is: "{F9043C88-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB}#1.2#0"; "comdlg32.ocx"Can I simply find the file and place it in the project directory? How would I reference it then? Additionally, The project converter lists errors locating the following files: msflxgrd.ocx, AResize.ocx, richtx32.ocx, and msmapi32.ocx. TIA

public class FloatToolStrip :ToolStrip { private Form floatForm; public Form FloatForm { get { return floatForm; }} c# is case sensitive so floatForm and FloatForm are different.
vb.net is case insensitive so when the inline compiler sees FloatForm, it says it has already been declared.
how do I convert the blue code into vb.net?

I'm working on a cryptography program that was written in VB6 and modernizing it in VB.NET and I've run into a roadblock with the conversion from strings to byte arrays and then back again. I've tried a lot of stuff and it's probably something really simple.
The VB6 code used to look like this:
Public Function DecryptByteArray(byRef arrByteArray() As Byte, ByVal Password As String)
Dim strInput As String
Dim strOutput As String
