ahh thanks I am pretty new here.
I will take the question over to the ASP.NET forum.
Thanks again.

I am creating a Program for college, in which the Program will read a Folder and create
a HTML page from the pictures that are storrd in that folder. .
What would be the best way to do it in VB Net 2003.
Thanks

You need to iterate through all the images, and for each, generate HTML into your page. So, find all files with an image extension, and then build your HTML per image in a loop.
Remember to put the html in the same folder, or to use the full path to the image.

How would I write the code so that when I select a Option Button to change that values that are listed in a List box based off the Option Button that is selected. Also to have it change each time a option button is selected.

Is it possible to open a printer directly connected to the "Lpt:" port on a Windows XP system? I have a form that must be set up exactly on an old dot-matrix printer, and then printed after filling in some values. I would like to open the printer and send ASCII characters to the device.
Is this possible???
Thanks

Thank you Dave, but I believe that sends the raw data to the printer via the spooler. I was to open the resource exclusively, send the character to control the print to advance so they can tear off the forms, then back up the device to get ready to print the next form. So some how I want to connect to the printer with my application.
Thanks again,

Cute, but you're not going to get at the hardware directly on an NT Kernel machine. Well, not without writing your own Ring 0 .DLL.
The other code that "worked under VB6," will work, but it will also go through the spooler too.

Thanks for your answer, Dave.
I wonder how do check writing programs work?
Anyway, thanks for your response.

They don't care about the spooler. A paper form is a paper form, even if it's 8.5" x 11" and blank, it doesn't matter. I have no idea why you're worried about the spooler handling the print job. That's what it's there for! You could spool up 1,000 checks to print, and while your application is off doing something else, the spooler is cranking out checks. So what if the codes you have to send to the printer make it reverse the paper so it aligns to the top of the page, it's still part of the print job! Besides, just about all dot matrix printers have an automatic tear-off function built into the anyway. Check the documentation on the printer to see what you have to do to get it to work.

I don't know, but it just seemed to me that for an app that will be run on one computer only with a printer that will have a printed 3 part form that will only be used by this one app that it shouldn't be that difficult to have the program have a direct connect to the printer. But I guess not. It looks like it will be print dialog and the spooler.
It makes all the sense in the world to have the spooler managing the output from several tasks.
Anyway thanks for your comments and generous help.
Later,

It's far more difficult to go around the spooler that it is to just use it. This is the NT Kernel world, where ALL hardware is abstracted. If you need to get to the hardware, you need to go through a device driver to get at it...

Not sure if it still works... and it might not be the best programming practice, so make sure to obfuscate your code well enough once compiled 
From the GW-BASIC days (I know it worked in VB6!)
<br />
OPEN "lpt1:" FOR OUTPUT AS #1<br />
PRINT #1, "Hello World"<br />
CLOSE #1<br />
I believe that was the syntax. Don't tell anyone I told you to do this

Thanks, I'll give a try. Do you think it will work with XP? Now where did I put the VB6 stuff? later, --max

I would assume it will. Not sure if .NET will allow you to run such legacy code, though. It's worth a shot anyway!

IM trying to create an irregular shaped button using GraphicsPath. Here is my code, the editor is squiggly underlining "Fillmode" saying it is ambiguous, what does that mean?????????
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D<br />
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath<br />
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsContainer<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dim pts() As Point = { _<br />
New Point(5, 15), _<br />
New Point(35, 15), _<br />
New Point(35, 5), _<br />
New Point(55, 25), _<br />
New Point(35, 45), _<br />
New Point(35, 35), _<br />
New Point(5, 35) _<br />
}<br />
' Make the GraphicsPath.<br />
Dim polygon_path As New GraphicsPath(FillMode.Winding)<br />
polygon_path.AddPolygon(pts)<br />
'<br />
' Convert the GraphicsPath into a Region.<br />
Dim polygon_region = New Region(polygon_path)<br />
<br />
' Constrain the button to the region.<br />
Button1.Region = polygon_region<br />
<br />
' Make the button fit the region.<br />
Button1.SetBounds(Button1.Location.X, _<br />
Button1.Location.Y, pts(3).X + 5, pts(4).Y + 5)<br />
<br />
End Sub

Two things.
First, you don't need the two bottom "Includes" at the top of your code. You only need Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D.
Second, FillMode is considered ambiguous because you have at least two namespaces and/or classes that are defining a FillMode enumeration and the compiler can't tell which one your trying to use. (Do you have a reference to DirectX you haven't shown us? DirectX also defines a FillMode enumeration!) The easy way around this problem is to explicitly specifiy which FillMode you want to use. In your case, the one defined in Drawing2D:
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Dim pts() As Point = { _
New Point(5, 15), _
New Point(35, 15), _
New Point(35, 5), _
New Point(55, 25), _
New Point(35, 45), _
New Point(35, 35), _
New Point(5, 35) _
}
' Make the GraphicsPath.
Dim polygon_path As New GraphicsPath(Drawing2D.FillMode.Winding)
polygon_path.AddPolygon(pts)
' Convert the GraphicsPath into a Region.
Dim polygon_region = New Region(polygon_path)
' Constrain the button to the region.
Button1.Region = polygon_region
' Make the button fit the region.
Button1.SetBounds(Button1.Location.X, _
Button1.Location.Y, pts(3).X + 5, pts(4).Y + 5)
End Sub

how to add a checkbox on datagrid by coding so that on checking the check box the particular row get selected and the data in that row can be retrieved from SQL.Please give me the code
Rajan
|
|
|
|

Am I understanding your question right? You want a datagrid with nothing in it but checkboxes and when a checkbox is checked then you want to populate only that row?
That's kind of weird. I don't know how you would populate just one row. Can you elaborate more?

I want to concatenate the following into a string:
2005, /, and ID. ID is an integer which will be of value 1, 2 etc.
I want it to look like this:
2005/001
2005/002
etc.
Anyone any ideas?
|
|

|

Hello,
You can use following code for each ID....
VB.net
Private str As String = "2005/" + ID.ToString("000")
C#
string str = "2005/" + ID.ToString("000");
HTH. cheers.

You can also use CStr(ID)
CompleteID = strYear & "/" & CStr(ID)
