I would like to know if Visual Studio does have a setting where you can choose whether it should write nombers like 0.00000127 in scientific notation or not? I am writing such doubles to file but VB2008 writes them in scientific notation. If I treat these numbers as decimals then it writes them correctly, but I also have to take care of performance as I'm writing lots of numbers.
View 1 RepliesThe only post I can find on this matter is one that coverts the double to a decimal before converting it into a string. However the numbers I'm using are far larger than what a decimal can store.
Example: 1/(16^10)
So how can I convert the solution to the problem above. Which equals 0.00000000000090949470177292824, to a string value that is exactly as it's shown?
Cause when I convert this to a decimal I still end up with a string in scientific notation..
I was using the following code:
If Entry.ToLower = "test" Then
Dim test As Double
test = Double.Parse(InputBox("test", "test")[code]....
to check if I can inputoutput scientific numbers tofrom Double.I was able to output the data successfully. (With "E" instead of "* 10 ^" but that's fine)But when I input the same number error occurs.
"System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

I've asked this question before, and so have many before me, i have done extensive research on the topic and stil no help. Maybe this is some kind of secret info. shared only amongst top programmers. Bt how do you really, trully double buffer a form, aside from setting "Double Bufferd" to true, which doesn't work in most cases, I want to know how do companies lyk Microsoft and Symantec, prevent flashes on big applications such Word and Norton.
View 4 Repliesi would like to be able to double click on a label for a text box and write a value into the .tag property and then change the color surrounding the label.for example.. if the user double click the default label..(which looks like the stardard label) then I would write a "1" to the tag property for that label, and at the same time, change the line color surrounding the label to red(maybe even changing the thinkness of the line).
when the user would double click the label again.. I was see that it was already selected and change the setting back to the default.
I'm trying to build a scientific calculator with vb .net, except it is vista glass :-p
I basically want the user to be able to enter an equation like SQRT(5 * 6) / (2 ^ 4) and then I want vb to use system.math to solve it. If I write this in my code, vb is able to do it, so how could I do this at runtime.
Show me a link to the source of a good scientific calculator example?

View 2 RepliesIntroduction: Probably a year or more ago I asked if was possible to use the Mathematical functions in Windows Calculator or use any DLL file it may use without a satisfactory answer. As I require the greater accuracy of Windows Calculator in String format. Would it be easy to keep switching between a Vb.Net Form windows based application and Windows Calculator and, using SendKeys, get results back to a Vb.Net application using Copy & Paste via the clipboard but to do this in an automatic fashion at all please?
What I am particularly interested in is getting Log10 or LogN results and also doing ARC or INVerse LOG10 or INVerse LogN calculations. But I require the greater accuracy of windows Calculator. Additionally, would it be possible to assign a keyboard keymap to each key in Windows Calculator so that, for example, the L key would be assigned to clicking the LOG10 button, ALT for the Hyp checkbox, SHIFT for the INV checkbox and so on?So imagine sending key sequences to Windows Calculator to completely automate it. And Windows Calculator has been updated too in WINDOWS 7, would that make it any easier to work with?

I have a "legacy" VB.NET application (winforms) written for .NET 1.1, and re-compiled under 2.0 that produces a report in HTML via a custom XmlTextWriter wrapper that is suited for HTML. The user then would print the report into pdf if they wanted to.
That was 2003, and now technology has changed a bit, especially within the C#/VB.NET world, and customers want to skip the HTML part, and go to PDF directly. What are my options for open source, or low cost PDF libraries that work well with .NET and must support tables with pictures (generated bitmaps from code) and text.

I am working on a project that involes reading an Excel file, picking through it, then creating a flat CSV file. One of the the data elements I am picking up is a 9 character string that may be numeric, or contain one or more alpha chatacters. Excel has a nasty habit of converting long numerics to scientific notaion. I can overcome this by converting the "general" string to "TEXT".
However, there is one instance where I can not get the function to work...the string is "90333E108" ( the CUSIP for USU). Regardless, the text string is saved properly into the CSV file. When opened in a text editor, it reads correctly.
When opened with Excel, it is in scientific notation. Changing the field to "text" from "scientific" still displays "9.03E+112".
how to create an csv file that Excel will open and read correctly?
You can test this by creating an Excel workbook, format all cells as TEXT and add the following data:
90333E108

I am building a scientific calculator.
1. After I clicked the Sine button, I get the result in a textbox.. When the result is there, for example: 1 radians Sine = 0.8414.... I can still put numbers at the end of this result.. like button 5 will be 0.84145, so how can I disable that?
2. After I get the result from a calculation, the textbox should be cleared when I insert a new number.
I have a situation where I am handling both single & double mouse click events on a form. In both cases something has to be loaded, however when a double click occurs, I do not wish to execute the code attached to the single click event.Is there a way to intercept the mouse click's and check if double or single and then execute the right event appropriately?

i have been working on an app, that remains just my preset sizes. recently, i have discovered that by double clicking the form title bar, even w/the formborderstyle being set to fixedtoolwindow, the form still maximizes and all of my controls remain in the top/left corner.. not a good view.. so, i set the maximum size of the form, and now when double clicking it, moves it to the top/left of my desktop.. not a good result. here is a quick sample to start w/.

View 2 RepliesWorking in the interface I find it very frustrating that when you double click something in a form, it automatically enters code that you have to delete, then exit out when you were only trying to single click. Is there any way to disable this double click feature? Or possibly change it so if you press CTRL and click it automatically brings up the Code
View 2 RepliesI've created a datagrid and made it read only, I want to double click it and it will open a new form with all the data so I can edit it and press save.
I have a form called New client where you add the name address etc and press save.
I want the fields already on the add client form to fill in the data from the row you double click on the grid.
I am trying to prevent a form from being moved or resized by the user. I am able to do that IF the user double clicks the form (I basically resize the form to full screen, andreposition it to 0,0). This is loads of flickering, but it works. However this seems to only work if the user double clicks the form. After loading, if you grab to top bar, you can move it.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if it someone could help me solve this problem. I have a full screen application with a panel in the center which is used to display different user controls and screens when the user uses the app.However, I have a rather large gradient image set as my form's background and it causes the panel to flicker every time controls are added. I find that when the background image is removed the flicker goes away. How can I keep the background image but eliminate the flicker? My form is already double buffered.
View 5 RepliesI have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dll plugins which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (a double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I load the form from the dll and show it, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker? Or am I going in the wrong direction?

Notice the black screen with the white lines on it or the flash of the desktop after I click "Movies." How do I get rid of that?
It has to be a simple line of code but I do not know how to construct it. Using VB 2010 Express, I have a MDI parent form and many child forms. I want the parent form to determine what child form is active and load data into the RichTextBox1 on the child form. Each Child form has a RichTextBox1. The parent form gets its data by loading a file.
I am close to a solution but just can't get there. You will see in the code below, if I make a direct reference to a specific child form, it works great. What I want to do is to use the Active Form function to determine which form to write to. I have looked at the MS tutorial which gets me close.
