Report Engine and PDF Library: Example code in Visual Basic .NET

The following example uses a VPE .NET Report Engine component named "Report".

The method Picture inserts an image, four coordinates are supplied: (left, top, right, bottom). The parameter "nFree" instructs VPE to compute the given coordinate for a text or image itself.

With WriteDoc the document is written by the integrated PDF Library as PDF file, and finally the call to the method Preview shows the preview window.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

Report.OpenDoc()
Report.Print(1.5, 1, "Hello World!")
Report.Picture(1.5, 2, Report.nFree, Report.nFree, "example.jpg")
Report.WriteDoc("My Document.pdf")
Report.Preview()

End Sub

Customer's Responses

"I still want to say that VPE is a very great utility. We've been searching for a utility for quite some time, we've been evaluating some of them and the power and ease-of-use of VPE really impressed. Keep up the good work."
