view image from a picturebox loading from a database

That is because you are doing only half the job, you update the datasource collection but nowhere do you delete the record from the database. Whatever you are using as a tutorial/book/learning aid should have this information. It is impossible to guess your DAL methodology.

Hi everyone

I was able to load a pdf into a picturebox and save it into a table using data type varbinary successfully.

I load the table with the pdf file onto a form with a picturebox control.

now i want to doubleclick the picturebox to view the pdf file.

I tried few things, don't seem to work out.

Guide me on this one.

Thanks

You need a PDF Viewer[^]

When will you people learn to do a basic bit of research before posting a question?

Thanks for replying,
But my problem still exists.
The problem is is not loading the pdf file into a pdf reader through an Adobe PDF Reader.
But rather doing the following scenario
Here is the scenario again

1) Have a form (PDF_file)

2) A picturebox (pdf_filePictureBox)that bides with a table with datatype varbinary(Max)

3) (PDFPicture) The Adobe PDF Reader control to load the PDF.

4) A load_button to load the PDF into the reader.

5) An Open_button to read the PDF from the pdf_filePictureBox after being save into the sql database

Now I need to take the pdf showing in the acrobat read and put it in the pdf_filePictureBox so that it can be saved. and load it from the database while I can click open to read it back into the acrobat reader.

I know I need to convert it as a tiff file and put it in the picturebox. unable to get it to work.

This what I've done thus far:

.....
pdf_fielPictureBox.Hide()
PDFPictureBox.Loadfile(openFileDialog.filename)
PDFPictureBox.Show()

.......

This is what I want to accomplish..your guidance is most welcome on this issue.

Thanks again..Hope I am more clearer on my issue.

Custom paper size Problem in Dot matrix printer...

Hi Good morning to All.
I developed & deliverd a Billing application in VB6 with built in data report for printing. Everything is fine. But the problem is My Client using dot matrix printer (TVS MSP 240 Star). They are using paper roll for printing. The printer ejacts much paper after printing the data. My paper size is 4.5*3.5 inches. I expect the printer must stop after printing the last line (may be 3 or 4 lines). But it ejacts the whole 3.5" paper. And it does not reverse the paper for next printing. Please help me.. Thanks in advance...

Logic for Sales Return and Purchase Return

Hi all,

For last three days, I am getting confused by thinking of a logic.

Ok, let me tell you the confusion.

I am developing an Inventory Software of a Retailer. There are 3 involved here. Like

 -------------     Sale       -----------    Sale        -----------
|             |  ------->    |           |  ------->    |           |
| Distributor |              | Retailer  |              | Customer  |
|             |  <-------    |           |  <-------    |           |
 -------------    Return      -----------   Return       -----------

The above diagram is to make you understand the workflow.

1. Distributor sold to Retailer
2. Retailer sometime return the goods to Distributor for breakage. This can be single item/product or the entire invoice.

Same,

3. Retailer sold to Customer.
4. Customer sometime return the goods to Retailer for breakage. This can be a single item/product or the entire invoice.

My confusion is how should I maintain the stock quantity ?

This is not a software problem but a business decision, you need to talk to your business and find out how they treat the returned product but I can see at least 2 possibilities. The returned product is either able to be resold or it is rubbish, and those are only the 2 extremes.

Hi Holmes,
Thanks for your answer. Yes the returned product can be resold. I mean sometime the retailer by mistake sales over quantity product to the customer and same Distributor. Like....

Suppose a product name is ItemA.
1. Customer need 3 ItemA.
2. Retailer (by mistake) sold 4 ItemA and generate Invoice.
3. Customer wants to return the excess ItemA (i.e. 1 qty.) to the retailer.
4. Retailer returns 1 ItemA and returns the ItemA value to the customer and generate a Credit/Return Note.

Same thing happens between Distributor and Retailer.

Yes, it is business decision and I have to implement it.
So, I just want to know "What should be the logic and how could I implement ?"

Mycroft Holmes14-Dec-13 12:26

14-Dec-13 12:26

I would think there is only 1 thing you can do if the product is going to be returned, increment the stock on hand and credit the retailer for the product.

How you do that in your system is not something we can define for you, any "logic" will be based on the internals of your application and the business logic you need to implement.

Hi Holmes,
Thanks for your reply. I have already implemented something. Please tell me is this ok or not.

1. Save the returned product data with rate, tax, discount everything in SalesReturn table.
2. Increment the stock that customer returned in stock table.
3. Generate Credit Note with all details of returned product.

Are there anything more to do ?

Re: an windows 8.1 app HELP!

16-Dec-13 11:38

While it seems reasonable, you and the business are the only people who can answer this question. If you are developing this in isolation, without guidance from the actual business, then you are going to fail. You need to get guidance from the business who are expected to implement this.

an windows 8.1 app HELP!

Member 1045927510-Dec-13 22:32

10-Dec-13 22:32

I want to make an windows 8.1 store app(can be desktop but prefer store).
I know the following languages :
visual basic 2012(win rt)(mostly preferable)
visual c++( not good)

i have to make the beta fast Frown | :-(

PROGRAM:-
->a interactive full screen homepage with 3 buttons and settings in the charm bar

HOME PAGE buttons:-
->1st button: record screen: records the desktop and other win 8 apps with webcam support and audio from mic

->2nd button: Edit video: more like mixing. you can drag-drop video to timeline(like windows movie maker) and 2 channel audio(one for voice and one for song)

->3rd button: upload video: push the video to the web as mp4 or avi at youtube or facebook or save them to disk

VOICE RECOGNITION:-
(optional) at the home screen when user say some command like 'program run record' or 'program edit video', the program does the same.

i want some leads...i have no experience in intensive, professional programming but i want to do so.
i would really appreciate if you tell me what i have to do,
specifically:
things that are easy,
things that need some stress
and work on!

Thanks in advance

Then you must have missed point 2. If you want code then you will need to go and look for it yourself. These forums are for technical questions.

i am just looking for some help
i found a vb net code and i know only vb 6

Richard MacCutchan7-Dec-13 7:33

7-Dec-13 7:33

Then you have two or three options:
1. Learn VB.NET
2. Write it for yourself.
3. Do some more Google searching.

If you want technical help (which is what these forums provide) then you need to ask a specific question.

That's hardly surprising, VB6 is long dead. No one is likely to be using it to develop a program such as this.

i know but is there a way or somehow to find something like this when vb 6
was usable?
or is there a way to convert a vb net project to vb 6 ?
