Restrict User from changing the column width or row height in spreadsheetgear - vb.net

Is there any way to restrict the users from changing width of column or height of row of the worksheet on my windows form?

A work around for the time being has found. I am hiding the headings of my active sheet as done here. But please any better idea because this is not a solution you know.

Is There a More Efficient Way of Determining Whether a Table Row Spills Over Into the Footer Than Looping Through All Cells?

I'm currently using Microsoft Word 2016 VBA to programmatically set the AllowBreakAcrossPages setting so that if a row's contents overlaps the footer contents, I toggle the setting so that the row can break across pages. To solve this issue, I'm thinking about looping through all the cells of each table in the document and get the wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage.Information of the last characters in each cell and comparing it to the footer's height relative to the page. If the last character's height is greater than the footer's, I set the row to break across pages. You can imagine that this is taking a while in a document that has many tables and cells. Is there a more efficient way to know if the row contents overlap the footer contents than looping through each cell in the row to see if a cell is causing the row to overlap the footer?
I tried using the row height property but discovered that if the HeightRule property of the specified row is wdRowHeightAuto then that means I can't access the row height via VBA.
I discovered that it's possible to use wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage.Information with a row by row comparison of the prior and next rows like described in another posting - https://stackoverflow.com/a/14753231/4372244.
The only problem with that solution is that it doesn't work for the last row in a table or if it's the last row on a page.
Therefore, I'm examining a cell by cell solution.

RDLC - How to display each row from dataset in each page?

I am having set of text boxes in the report and binding each columns in the text box from the Data set.
As of now only first record from the dataset is binding in the text box.
I need all the rows in the dataset to bind in the text boxes page wise.
Each row in the dataset bind to text boxes page wise.
First record in first page,Second record in second page ... etc.
How to achieve this? Help me to solve this...
Thanks in Advance,

I recently faced the same issue, I used some help from stackoverflow to solve the issue, u might have already figured it out but this is to help others with similar issue.
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
You can use a List with page breaks at the end of details group.

Formatting a datagridview in vb.net

Hi everyone i just wanted to ask how can i make the appearance of my datagridview better
I just wanted to remove the spaces enclosed in the red lines ,are there any way that I can extend my database to the full sisze of my datagridview?
Thank in advance
set AutoSizeMode to fill for Name column
Your question has nothing to do with the database. You can fiddle with the auto-sizing of the columns so that they occupy the full width of the grid. To fill the space at the bottom you would have to change the height of the rows, which would be unusual and is not something that would happen automatically. You could just change the grid background colour to white so it looks less like empty space.

Is it possible to set vb.net datagridview cell alignment without modifying whole column?

I am trying to set the alignment of a specific cell in a row/column to be right aligned. However I do not want to set the whole row, or whole column to right aligned. Is it possible to set the cell only? From what I've seen online I'm starting to think it isn't possible.
You would need to hook up to the RowDataBound event. This fires as each row is databound. Check that the row is a data row (as opposed to a header or footer). Then check the value in the column you are interested in. If the value meets your criteria for right justification then apply that to the column in question.
Note if you are using AlternateItemTemplate then check both Item rows and AlternateItem rows.
I've used this method to say change the backround colour of values that fall outside a range.

How to make rows invisible while printing reports?

I am using an .rldc file to define the layout of the reports from my program. The problem is, it is to be used for incremental printing. That means the paper will be used over and over as newer rows need to be printed. I'm attempting to approach it this way:
List all corresponding data on the report view.
Make the older rows invisible and only show the latest row.
Print.
That way, the last row is already properly placed. The problem is, I don't know how to implement this. Can anyone help me out?
You could create an IIF(condition,true,false) statement in your report definition on the row visibility variable.
The best way i guess is to define in your data source something of a rank column.
example :
select col1,col2,col3,RANK() OVER (ORDER BY col3 DESC) AS 'rank' from table1
Then in your table or matrix, you click on the row or/and column that you want to make the borders and text white based on a expression.
Go to the properties and dropdown on bordercolor
choose expression and type in (based on my example query)
=IIf(rank.value <> max(rank.value),White,Black)
That will not remove the rows only make the borders white ( unvisible)
The same you can do with Font Color property.
I think this is your best shot at this issue.
Other solution I could think of is to just hide unneccesary rows (which also replaces the visible row)
Then to move the table down by using a expression with a formula like nr of rows hidden before the actual row * height of 1 row, only I m not sure if this is applicable without programming an RDL extension..
Good Luck !
