Printing a Ruler in GDI+ and VB.NET
If you misplaced your ruler, here's an application that will create one for you on your printer! Unfortunately, you'll still need a ruler the first time using it so that you can calibrate the measurement for your particular printer, but once you know the calibration value, you are all set with a fairly accurate ruler. Below is the simple design of our ruler. The ruler itself is drawn in a Form.
Editable GridView control in VB.NET
.Net gives us a few controls that make printing quite easy and handle much of the details of driving the printer internally. In fact, most of our responsibility in printing the GridView control lies in graphically drawing its contents. The drawing of the GridView control is accomplished using GDI+.
A GridView component in VB.NET
This article explains how to use a GridVies component in VB.NET. This example shows you how I've wrapped a ListView in a UserControl and turned it into a simple grid control. I just want to put a string in a row and column position, or populate a row, or populate a column.
Creating and opening Microsoft Word document
This article is being written in response to a couple inquiries on the question, How do I open a word document from .NET?.
Using Transformations in GDI+ and VB.NET
The documentation on transforms in GDI+ is a little sparse in MSDN right now, so I decided to right an article on an sample program on how to use them. Transforms are matrices that allow you to rotate and translate your graphics shapes. In this example we are going to rotate a very powerful element in VB.NET called the GraphicsPath.
Simple Color Syntax Code Editor for PHP written in C# and .NET: Part I
The Application is a simple Windows Form program that allows you to open and save the text files edited in the rich edit control, as well as print them out. The program takes advantage of a “syntax” text file for PHP which lists the functions and keywords contained in the PHP language.
Animated GraphicsPath
This simple application illustrates how GraphicsPaths can be animated to look like something is moving across the screen. Previous articles in this forum have covered GraphicsPaths such as John O'Donnell's Rotation Sample.
Part I: Simple Color Syntax Code Editor for PHP written in C# and .NET
The second part of this article shows how to print out the contents of a RichTextBox control.
A Virtual Clock in VB.NET and GDI+
Learn how to create a virtual clock in VB.NET using GDI+ graphics, timer ticks, clock hands, and rotation transforms.
Using ThreadPool to run animated Gifs in VB.NET
One of the nice features incorporated into the .NET framework is the ThreadPool class. In this article we will discuss the use of the ThreadPool class in conjunction with the ImageAnimator class to run 3 animated gifs in separate threads.
Poorman's Installation Program in VB.NET
Installation programs can be quite expensive these days. Although programs such as Wise and InstallShield have fantastic features and are fairly comprehensive, sometimes you just want to do the easy installation of copying and pasting files into a directory and perhaps placing a shortcut in the start menu.
Deploying Programs using VB.NET
Deploying projects in Visual Studio.NET is fairly straightforward. Most of the process is automated for you through some convenient wizards so it doesn't require much effort. Keep in mind, though that you probably need the Windows Component Update Beta 1 on the machine you are deploying to. I suspect you also need the Microsoft .NET Framework, as well (for now).
How To Print a DataGrid in C# and .NET
I wrote this article in response to the question, How the heck do I print out a DataGrid and its contents. n order to encapsulate the drawing of the DataGridPrinter to the Printer, I created the DataGridPrinter class shown in Figure 2 below. This class takes a DataGrid, a PrintDocument, and a DataTable passed to its constructor and utilizes these objects to draw the DataGrid to the printer.
Math Equation Editor in C#
The Equation Editor I created in C# allows you to create a few simple equations using the keyboard. With the editor you can open and save files of your equations.
Simulating a Swarm Algorithm in C#
Rather than reinvent the wheel, I took this code and translated it into C# to demonstrate the swarm behavior in a Windows Form using GDI+. The algorithm is exactly the same and also a fairly simple one.
Using Generic Algorithms to Layout Circuit Boards
This article tells you how to use a Genetic Algorithm to optimally layout parts on a circuit board so they have the shortest connections between them.
How To: Printing Form Controls in C# and .NET
The other day a user asked me how to print out a form. I suggested they use my Form Capture article which catches the bitmap that the form is in by using bit belting commands from the old windows SDK.
Using C# and COM Interoperability to Extract from a UML tool into a Microsoft Word Document
This article allows you to read the classes contained inside of WithClass 2000 into a Word Document using COM Interoperability for Word and COM Interoperability for WithClass and presents your classes in a kind of report.
Recording Sheet Music Using C# and .NET
This is a article that allow you to record and replay the music you performed on the piano.
Creating a Web User Control in .NET
One of our C# Corner readers gave me the idea of converting my Add/Remove Control from a Windows Form control to a User Web Control, so we will use this control as an example for this tutorial
Using Genetic Algorithms to Design Logic Circuits in C#
The article goes to explain that GA (Genetic Algorithms) have been used by various programmers to come up with 15 previous patented inventions + (and here is the startling part) some new ones! I can see the running joke in the patent office now.
Music Editing Program in C# and .NET
This program will create music from a file of letter-coded notes. It will also print and print preview the music.
Filling out your 1040EZ Tax Form in .NET
Build a C# Windows Forms application that fills out a 1040EZ form, calculates selected fields, saves form data, and prints or previews the completed form.
Daleks in .NET
The other night my girlfriend dragged me down to the NYC Public Library claiming that they had a huge Science Fiction movie section. Admittedly my taste in movies and my wife's taste in movies can vary slightly, however, I was willing to take a chance, given that rentals at the library are free as opposed to $4 at the local video store.
Using the ThreadPool to Run Animated Gifs in C# and .NET
In this article we will discuss the use of the ThreadPool class in conjunction with the ImageAnimator class to run 3 animated gifs in separate threads.
