Yes, but I can answer most questions here, because they relate to the framework.

If Dave is on the job, I'll hang back, he always knows more VB than I do.

Given that I don't use VB at all, it's arguably faint praise, but it's not meant that way....

I know VB is kind of like a killer disease, but it's one I'm immune to! You actually CAN write good code with it, it's just rare to find a person who's been using it AND knows how to write code! Laugh | :laugh:

What do you mean - a dictionary as in a way to look up meanings of words ? I guess you can just make a table with two columns, word and definition.

print preview in vb.net 2005 Window Application

I bet you do. However, in the real world, people tend to use these forums to ask questions when they need help, not when they want the project written for them. Well, that's not true. The people who do that, tend to get help, and those who say 'I need this code' tend to end up disappointed.

It's kind of trivial, why don't you try and ask when you get stuck ?

How can I format a numeric value?

24-Mar-07 4:29

FIRST, STOP YELLING!

Next, you'll have to explain what this means. "eyeprint"?? What do you mean by that?

Hi!

My question is simple. I would like to add leading zeros infront of numbers if they are smaller then 9 and then convert it to string. What I need is "01:90" minute and second. Is there any function handles that?

Thank you. WTF | :WTF:

How could you represent "1" numeric value as "01" string value. Is that simple enough?

Easily handled by a custom formatting string:

hi everyone, can anybody tell me how to change font settings using fontdialog and a way to save the settings so next time I run the software the settings that I set will automatically take effect. Smile | :)

and This forum is great. Big Grin | :-D

A font is made up of several things, such as a name, a point size, and flags such as is it bold, is it italic. A Font Dialog will return a font to you, you can then store the settings used to rebuild that font. I'm not sure if a font is serialisable, itself. It could be.

A Font Dialog lets you choose a font, it does not cause that font to be used anywhere. So, what you want to do, is write code that assigns this font to whatever controls you wish to use it. Call it when the font is changed, and call it on startup, using the font you rebuild from the settings you saved.
