I'm not sure if this helps:



Add a pagesetup dialog to your form



Private Sub MenuItem18_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem18.Click

'page setup

PageSetupDialog1.Document = PrintDocument2

PageSetupDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.Color = False

PageSetupDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True

PageSetupDialog1.ShowNetwork = True

PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Acrobat PDFWriter"

PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog()

End Sub

Mr MVP,



Why did you point the user to that page when the bottom Microsoft article is

in VB 6 & you aren't prepared to convert it to VB.NET?



On last question: Will you put my name forward for the MVP program, as I

have been programming for 25 years in Assembly, C, C++, a little HTML/ASP, VB

3 - VB.NET & a little C#? 99.9% (18 hours a day approx.) of my time spent

coding in VB.NET.

Even MVP's days only have 24 hours.



For being awarded as an MVP, it does not matter how many hours a day one

spends using a certain product or how many "languages" one speaks.



How do I become an MVP?

I have read those articles & have also e-mailed the webmaster some time ago.

See below:



Thank you for interest in the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP)

Program.

MVPs are a diverse group of individuals from around the world who have two

things in common â?? expertise in one or more of Microsoftâ??s products or

technology areas, and a willingness to share their knowledge and their

experiences with others.

If you would you like to be considered, please send us the following

information:

First Name, Last Name

Email address, and/or online alias

Product or Technology of expertise:

Where we can find you, or your nominee (e.g. newsgroup, web site, message

board, book, magazine, school, conference, etc.)

Mail the above information to mvpga@microsoft.com

Kindest Regards,

MVP Global Administrator

mvpga@microsoft.com



I spend around 18 hours a day either programming or programming/answering

questions in the forums & have done since 1997. So, I think I am in it for

the long haul, don't you?

Crouchie,



"Crouchie1998" <Crouchie1998@discussions.microsoft.com>schrieb:

I am not able to decide who is awarded and who not. From my own experience,

I can only tell you that it took more than a half year of very active

participation in Microsoft public newsgroups until I was awarded.

Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that somebody is awarded at all, and

when he/she is awarded. MVP ist nothing for people who "want to be MVP",

it's a side-effect of regular and voluntary participation and willingness to

help/share.



So, if you want to become an MVP, post to the groups or other communities

monitored by Microsoft so that Microsoft Support Engineers etc. will become

aware of you.
