I don't think you can do this using PDF files. If you can make your help files to a CHM file, work with Help.ShowHelp()[^] method by providing appropriate HelpNavigator value.

Thanks in advance.

Any half decent database, stores a date as a date. That means, it does NOT store a string in any special format. It stores actual date information. So, in C#, you will end up with a DateTime object, instead of a string. And you can format that any way you like.

Actually this happens as your Localized regional datetime settings is dd-mm-yy.
To format use

DateTime.ParseExact(datestring, "dd-mmm-yy", new CultureInfo("en-US"))

If it's that important, you're best source of information is going to be the people who wrote the library. I'm guessing that would be Infospace.

Hi,

I am developing the Text editor using c#.net
I want to implement print functionality and the printed pages should be WYSIWYG format

In my application I am using rich textbox control which acts as a single page, so for every page I am using a new rich text box control. When ever I have tried to print then the printed content should be like WYSIWYG format

Thanks

I have been asked to build a command prompt based application that will bypass the printer driver and connect directly to the printer to print? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this. And How to build a printers INIT string?

Why have you been asked to do something that you plainly don't know how to do ? What resources were you given to do this ? Or did you start on the job today and were given a task and the URL to code project, so we'd do it for you ?

I imagine this is a pretty complex task, and I'd have thought C++ would be better suited to it, than C#.

Reading and operating on information in excel (.XLS) files

PtrN2-Sep-09 5:29

I need the ability to read in data from an Excel file, operate on it, and then create a new excel file.

Currently I have the code I need to use the Interop library to manualy open excel and read the data from there. However, this seems to be very unstable as any prompt for user input results in the program being halted.

My other plan would be to convert the .xls into .csv and then into .xml and read that data in, however I have never dealt directly with .xml files before. My biggest problem with reading in the data is that there are many blank cells within the excel file, the ability to read data from the cells directly using the cell address (such as B4 or 5,8) is a main priority of my solution.

Also, converting .xls => .csv => .xml to produce a .xml and then convert .xml => .csv => .xls seems like a lot of unnessasary work.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction as to what would be the easiest way to do this? I am fairly new to programming, but am competent enough to understand well documented code that tries not to be too obscure.

You shouldn't need to convert to csv/xml. You could open your xls as an ODBC datasource. Here is an article on CP on how to so that:

the height and width values of the size property can not be modified, you can either do as dave suggested and assign a new instance of size. Or use the Width and Height properties of the form, which can be set. as follows...

this.Width = 100;
this.Height = 200;
