No, you cannot overload a procedure by only changing it's return type:

Rules of Procedure Overloading - MSDN[^]

However you can pass add additional parameters by reference (ByRef rather than the default ByVal) that are modified within the function and available in the calling code, the Graphics.MeasureString function is overloaded in this way to return the number of lines and characters fitted in addition to the return type of SizeF:

Graphics.MeasureString - MSDN[^]

Hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch. Worked like a charm.

Me.dlgOpen.InitialDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)

Can you believe my vb teacher took off 20 points from my Word Processor project just because it didn't open from My Documents intitally. I think that was really steep.

I assume you have some kind of variable where you store your number. Let's also assume this variable is an Int32 (Integer in Visual Basic). The easiest way is to use the method Int32.ToString(String)[^] and pass an appropriate NumberFormatInfo[^].

Dim myInt As Integer = 898
MessageBox.Show(myInt.ToString("D6"))

Best regards
Dennis

An alternate solution is to use the format function to ensure a number has an enforced number of characters:

Dim i As Integer = 898
MsgBox(Format(i, "00000#"))

Hope this helps

Hi all,

Here's a quick question (well not that quick).

I have a drag and drop file upload control and am having an issue with the winsock control. Everything works fine on my LAN but nothing seems to work over the internet, the remote server keeps disconnecting, winsock error 10054 if anyone knows it.

As this became of great annoyance I have now coded the upload part in WinHTTP, Inet and finally xmlHttp30.

Note that the receiving end is written in ASP.NET and using a filestream to write the obtained stream to a file so all of the above methods work just fine (winsock only over LAN however).

The problem with the three later methods is that i cannot display the progress of the data sent as there are no events that i can see that display how much is sent and how much is to go (byte count).

In conclusion, what i need is either a way to stop the Winsock error occuring or another control that i can report back to the UI with the progresss?

Any ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you want to print with the content of the for or not? If not (just print the chart) try to do it in crystal report instead.
