Exporting edmx diagram from edmx designer cut off tables using PDFCreator - visual-studio-2013

I am trying to export edmx diagram from the edmx designer in Visual Studio 2013 to a png image using PDFCreator. The problem I have is that PDFCreator cut off some tables. In PDFCreator I select ARCH E3 as paper size. Also it is exported to png image using white color as background so cardinality numbers are not observed very well. Below a screenshot.
So how to:
Fit all the edmx diagram into the png without cutting off tables
Change png background color to a custom one using PDFCreator so
cardinality can be correctly observed.

In order cardinality to be observed correctly a workaround is to change visual studio color theme.

"No Transparency on Visual Basic PictureBox"

This is in reference to:
No Transparency on Visual Basic PictureBox
To Visual Vincent; First, I'd like to thank you for sharing your efforts with the community... Thank you very much!
I'm not very good at "Class" building. I've never implemented class modules very efficiently. I understand the principals, but tussle with mapping the properties and events before creation.
Anyway, does this example work in VB6? If so, how?
When I paste your example code into the class module code window, much of the text is red.
You can try my AlphaBlendImage control for VB6 built-in VB.Image control replacement w/ added support for transparency.
It supports both key-color transparency where you choose one color (e.g. magenta) to become transparent and true alpha-channel transparency like in PNG files.
You have to load PNG files with it's GdipLoadPicture function to preserve the alpha-channel transparency still by using built-in StdPicture instances. Take a look at the sample in test/basic directory for more info.

Image Asset versus Vector Asset

When it comes to adding an icon to my app, there're two main options:
IMAGE ASSET || IMAGE VECTOR
What are the differences between the Image Asset and Vector Asset? What makes them different?
According to Android User Guide :
Image Asset Studio helps you create various types of icons at different densities and shows you exactly where they'll be placed in your project. It includes tools for adjusting your icons and adding backdrops, all while displaying the result in a preview pane, so they appear exactly as you intended.
Vector Asset Studio adds a vector graphic to the project as an XML file that describes the image. Maintaining one XML file can be easier than updating multiple raster graphics at various resolutions.
When you create an image asset it will automatically create a vector graphic that describes that image as an xml file in the drawable..thus you can maintain that one xml file of your image rather than update it in multiple graphics and resolutions.
When you create a vector asset you simply create an xml file that describes an image/graphic in the drawables.

Displaying 2D array in visual studio debugger

I am working with Visual Studio 2005 and have a 2D array (say my2Dvar) that I would like to see the values of during run time. I am looking to export these values into Matlab. I tried displaying the values using ?my2DVar in the immediate window. But the values aren't displayed properly (the elements of the array show up as {...}). I can hover the mouse over the variable and expand the small plus signs that appears to look at the individual entries but the array is too big for me to do this for all entries.
Question: Is there a way to export the values of the 2D-array to a file from which it can be easily read by other platforms? I would appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.
If Visual Studio's default data visualizers aren't handling your custom data types, you can write your own visualizers for Visual Studio

Crystal Reports and WMF image

I have a problem with inserting a vector graphics (WMF) into report (Crystal Reports v10.5 from Visual Studio 2008). The image is static, inserted by choosing "Insert Picture" during report design in VS.
The problem is that it displays differently (size and aspect ratio) on machines with different operating systems and screen resolutions.
Converting to bitmap isn't possible beacause loss of the quality of print isn't acceptable.
I thought about dynamic loading of the image, but in this version of CR. I don't see a possibility to set dynamic graphic location in picture properties. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Not right.
You must use clipboard to insert vector images in your report. For example, copy objects from CorelDraw and paste in report. Report file not grow and also work on computers without CorelDraw. Print quality is more better than any bitmaps.
PS. I think that SAP must develop native (not OLE) support of any images formats.

VS2010 - Font colors for numbers in SQL scripts

sql script screenshot http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/74b768456c.png
OK, see the numbers? I can barely see them because my Visual Studio 2010 theme has the backround as almost-black, and the numbers show up in the default color, which is black. I can't figure out which setting changes the color for a number in a .sql file. Does anyone know?
Change the "Literal" and/or the "Number" color in Tools\Options...\Environment\Fonts and Colors.
