I tend to collate the data for the report into a Typed DataSet from within my VB.NET program then pass the DataSet to Crystal Reports, which means that you are only using CR to present and sort the data as required.
Visual Studio comes with a version of CR as standard, but if you what the full blown product you will need CR XI Developers Edtion Service Pack 0 or CR 2008 Developers Edtion Service Pack 0, depending on whether you are using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 (not sure if CR 2008 integrates with VS 2005), but the Crystal Reports Support people should be able to answer that question.

I can not figure out how load the file into my bitmap without getting an error with Option Strict set to ON (It works fine with Option Strict OFF .. )
<br />
Public BitmapImage As Bitmap<br />
<br />
BitmapImage = Bitmap.FromFile(filename) <br />
<br />
' where file name is soemthing like<br />
' "C:\Project\Prolasspecial.bmp"
What's the "correct" way of coding this, so that Option Strict On will not complain  ??

Option Strict OFF is the same as 'I am not a programmer'.
The problem is simple. Bitmap.FromFile returns an image, not a bitmap. Yes, this is stupid.

I understand that .fromFile returns an Image = question remains what's the correct function to use to load my Bitmap file into my bitmap ??
How do I Convert it?
I goggled it - but it seems everybody else has figured this one out or the offered solutions seem rather "complicated" to me
Im I using the wrong Load function ?
Is there a direct conversion from Image to Bitmap?
Whats the "proper" way of doing this?
Do I need to load it into an Image first and then use a conversion ???

Well...not entirely since FromFile is actually inherited from the Image class.

The Bitmap class has a constructor that takes a path to a file and a constructor which takes an image. The best option would be something like this:
Public BitmapImage As Bitmap
BitmapImage = New Bitmap(filename)
' or
BitmapImage = New Bitmap(Bitmap.FromFile(filename)) I think the first option is simpler.

Hi
I want to catch the IHTMLElement2.onscroll even and using the following code:
AddHandler aBody2.onscroll, New mshtml.HTMLElementEvents2_onscrollEventHandler(AddressOf Me.aBodyEvents_onscroll)
but VS2008 is saying that onscroll is not an event of IHTMLElement2, please tell me how to attach to this event.
Another approach I used is as following:
This event is appearing as an object to IHTMLelement2 object and when I declare an instance of HTMLElementEvents2 using following:
Dim WithEvents aBodyEvents As HTMLElementEvents2_Event
aBodyEvents = DirectCast(document.body, HTMLElementEvents2_Event)
then VS2008 is showing that it has the onscroll event but it doesnt fire at all.
Please help me.
Thanks and Regards,

In VB.NET or C# can I pass a routine or a function to another routine or function? If yes, how?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, it is called a delegate. It in essence allows you to create a variable that is an actual function pointer and pass that to a routine or function.

If anyone out there has some good code for importing Excel files into a SQL database using VB.Net, can you please share it so i can use it in my project. Basically what i want is an open file dialog to where you can select the file to import and a combo box display the different sheets of the file. Thanks.

Hi!
I'm using the code in this article:
Walkthrough: Printing a Local Report without Preview (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091.aspx)
I have an image in the report and it gets blurry/unsharp when printed.
I can export the report to PDF and print it, and then the result is good. But I don't want to rely on Acrobat.
Is there a way to solve this?

Hi,
I wanna change the system date time format and resolution
For system date time format i used this code
<br />
Dim tmpCurrentCulture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo<br />
tmpCurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")<br />
<br />
tmpCurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "MM/dd/yyyy"<br />
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = tmpCurrentCulture<br />
MsgBox(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.ToString)<br />
<br />
it shows the format MM/dd/yyyy but when i check i controlpanel->regional settings->customise date the format is not changed to MM/dd/yyyy
And second thing how can i change the resolution 1024 by 768 pixcel
Thanks with anticipations
Unless u don't give ur hundred percent whatever u r doing till there is no result of ur work...

Well, the date time format question is easy. All you have done is set the currenlty running thread to the new date format, not the PC.
There was another post recently about how to change the system date and/or format, it should point you in the right direction - and probably for the resolution settings too.

Hi ALL,
I have on desktop application.
When the application loads, i want the hotkeys to be displayed without ALT keystroke.
For this i used Sendkeys in form load event.
But when application starts, if i click on desktop area before form loads and appears then it does not show hotkeys otherwise it works fine.
I also tried form activated event, but the result is same.
Is there any solution.....
