Is it possible to left-justify, center, or right-justify text on a panel
when drawing it using DrawString?
I looked at the StringAlignment class, but all it has is far, near, and
center.
Thanks,
Robin S.

Justify means to space the text out so both margins are even, as in the
right hand image here: http://www.vbcorner.net/images/proje...JustifyAPI.gif
If you mean left and right *align* the text, far and near are the equivilent
to left and right align. The reason for this is that not all languages read
left-to-right, so if you are using a language, like English, that reads left
to right, near means left and far means right. If you are using a language
that reads right to left, near means right and far means left.

Thanks, Nik, for explaining that. I stuck far and near in there and they
did exactly what I wanted. Duh. Since we will be internationaliz ing our
application, it's nice to know that will work in the future, too. :-D

I use statements like LEFT(textstring,6) in my app. I have "Imports
Microsoft.VisualBasic" at the top of the code but to use LEFT I have to code
:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(sting, integer)
If I code just "Left" it is flagged as an error with the message
"Public Overloads Property Left() As Integer has no parameters and its
return type cannot be indexed"

Hi,
I'm curious about the computational complexity of a query I have. The
query contains multiple nested self left joins, starting with a simple
select, then doing a self left join with the results, then doing a self
left join with those results, etc. What puzzles me is that the time
required for the query seems to grow exponentially as I add additional
left joins, which I didn't expect. I expected the inner select to
return about 25...

Hi all
I feel stupid for asking this, but i just went to use the left() function
from vb6 only to find it doesnt do what it used to under .NET. Im assuming
theres something else now im meant to do when i want to say for example

Good day all,
I have a large outer joined query that I want to have some criteria.
The select query is gathering all part numbers from tblPartNumbers,
left joining to tblPartNumberVendor (since more than one vendor can
make the part), then left joining to tblPartNumberSupplier (since more
than one supplier can distribute the vendor's part), then left joining
to tblPartNumberCost (since more than one cost can be associated with a

I have a wpf project where I use a canvas to drag shapes around. when I

I also get scrollbars when I zoom in and a shape goes beyond the right or

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
