You can create a PDF, if you buy a library to do it. In fact, there's a free library called pdf995 or something, which prints to a PDF.
There's a DrawToBitmap method on your form and it's controls you can use to create a bitmap

Hi there,
I have a problem regarding Resources.resx in VS 2005.
I have put an icon on a button on some form, then I wanted to remove the icon and use another. (I went buttons Image property -> project resources file -> import) then I tried to delete the icon from this interface, but no luck so I deleted the whole Resources folder and resources.resx And now my project wont't compile, and there is an error could not find resources...
This is kind of a bug because when this happens, couldn't just VS create another resx file and reset all resources... lame.
Any help greatly appreciated?
thanks

It's not really lame that you did something silly and VS isn't magically restoring your file.
The way to change the icon on a button, is to change the property in the designer. If you can get your resx file back to do that from.

Hi all,
I've got some code that enters data into a rich text box. Basically, I need to be able to find the line and column number of the last input so that i can do some rearranging if necessary.
After digging around, all I can find is how to get the line/column of selected text or the cursor position. So I'm wondering if it would be possible to programmatically place the cursor at the end of the last input, then get the line/column position of the cursor.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this (or if they can suggest a better method) I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you.

The RTB doesn't support what you want to do natively. Also, a "line" in the RTB isn't what you think. A single "line" in the RTB can span multiple lines when rendered on screen, so using the methods and properties that returns line numbers in the RTB doesn't return the line where the text was rendered on screen.
There is no method/property to return the rendered column number. Also, with proportional fonts, the column number is a subjective measurement. The same column number, rendered on two different lines will not line up to be the same visual column.
You can use the Lines property of the RTB to get the last line of text, but keep in mind that this can represent multiple lines on screen.

i am making a software "IQ TEST" for my thesis project... but my problem is i dont know how to put a timer in my module? can you pls tell me the codes for it??? thanks

Hi,
Please try the following code snippet which uses a Timer Control (Timer1), one label (lblLogin) and two button (btnLogin and btnBreak). Drag and drop above mention .Net control and give name accordingly (as mentioned in the parenthesis) and paste the following code snippet:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN CODE
Public Class Form1
Dim tmr1 As Integer
Dim timerString As String
Dim seconds, minutes, hours As Integer
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.lbldate.Text = Format(Now(), "dddd, MMM dd yyyy")
'Me.btnLogin.Enabled = False
Me.AcceptButton = btnLogin
Me.Timer1.Start()
'
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
'Me.lblLogin.Text = Format(Now(), "hh:mm:ss")
'tmr1 = tmr1 + 1
'timerString = tmr1
seconds += 1
If seconds = 60 Then
minutes += 1
seconds = 0
End If
If minutes = 60 Then
hours += 1
minutes = 0
End If
timerString = hours & ":"
timerString = timerString & minutes & ":"
timerString = timerString & seconds
Me.lblLogin.Text = timerString
End Sub
Private Sub btnBreak_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBreak.Click
Me.Timer1.Stop()
End Sub
Private Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogin.Click
Me.Timer1.Start()
End Sub
END CODE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this helps .

thanks, but can this timer can stop in another form?
for example, your timer starts at form1, the timer is only set in 60 minutes. When 60 min. is over and you are in the form3 already.. it will go automatically to the last form (form10 for example). is it possible?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, of course. How it's done depends however very much on how you move from one form to another.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

ok! thanks! i got it already... thank you so much to all those who help!

There's too much code here. Most of it is irrelevent to the problem at hand.
Identify which bit of code you need help with and post it only.

Seriously, your code is unreadable. Using default names like button1 and listview2, means I cannot scan this and have any idea what each method is supposed to do, without examining the code closely.
You're talking about listboxes, but the code you posted is putting the image in a picture box. Does this code work ? If so, there's no problem with your database, or any of the code you have posted.
If you just need to know how to show an image in a listbox, then you should probably look here[^].

i have been looking everywhere for help with this project please someone help me:
i want to create a program that would run on a pc (which would be connected to a blue tooth dongle) and would connect to a bluetooth cell phone. the program would send a text message and multiple cell phone numbers to the cell phone, and instruct the cell phone to send out that message to all the given cellphone numbers.
i cant afford to buy any api's (im a volunteer in africa doing hiv/aids work). if someone could just explain to me how to do this in vb.net (example code?) or at least tell me the step by step processes i would need to do, id appreciate it. also, if i need any dll or anything let me know. my deadline is quickly approaching to get this program done (and i just want to know)
im using visual basic 2005 express edition.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure that a standard API exists to control a cell phone like that ? I'd have thought you'd do better to use a phone that is a Windows device and write a program for it, or research ways to send a text message via a webservice so you just needed to connect to the web, and not a cell phone ?

thanks for repplying. i cant send through the net. in botswana all cell phone services are prepaid. because of this, the companies do not give out there address to send the text messages. even if i could, im sure id be breaking some law. im sure theres a way. id imagine i would need the cellphones model number or something to connect to it. the usb dongle would be plug and play
|
|
|
|
|
The model number isn't going to help much, .NET doesn't have classes to talk to a mobile phone over bluetooth AFAIK. I assume you can connect to the web, or how are you able to post here ? If you can get on the web, then you can use a webservice that connects to an SMS provider.
