How to programatically disable Word Start Screen

I need to disable Microsoft Word start screen programatically using C# in Visual Studio. I don't want to do it manually like this .
Anyone can help ?

I found a good workaround for it. It is simply to open a new blank document on startup
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (Application.Documents.Count == 0)
{
Application.Documents.Add();
}
}

C# winforms RDLC report direct print to printer

I created an app with VS2017 C# WinForms, created a report for a table inside with RDLC reportviewer, the report is working well, I want to print this report directly and send it to the printer without popping up print preview dialog.
Please be informed that I googled this issue and searched this site as well and I couldn't find a solution.
Tried to use the MSDN topic (Walkthrough: Printing a Local Report without Preview) but still no luck.
Here is my button which runs several queries including opening a form (voucher) containing an rdlc reportviewer which loads data to show up in the report:
private void button12_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(Properties.Resources.switch_8);
player.Play();
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox1.Text) || textBox1.Text == "0")
{
MessageBox.Show("Please select an item!");
}
else
{
MOVE_TO_SOLD();
UPDATE_RECEIPT();
LOAD_DATA();
CLEAR_TEMP();
CHECK_FOR_REC_ID();
GET_NEW_REC_ID();
LOAD_DATA();
txtdiscount.Text = "0";
textBox5.Text = "0";
recowner.Text = recnum.Text;
voucher vr = new voucher();
vr.ShowDialog();
}
}
Thank You!

How to save an excel document?

I have been trying to save an open excel workbook and have not been able to.I am using Visual Studio to write a program in c#. I have a windows Userform which when launches, open an excel document in a webBrowser within the form. On that userform, I created a Save button as I would like to save the changes made to the excel.
My code to open excel in webbrowser is:
private void Excelform_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Application.DoEvents();
if (File.Exists(m_ExcelFileName))
{
webBrowser1.Navigate(m_ExcelFileName, false);
}
}
This works fine.
HOWEVER when I try to save the changes to the file I either get an error (File in or OR Operation not Executed). Tried webBrowser1.ShowSaveAsDialog(); but this requires user interaction. All I want is when the user click on the save_btn the file saves.
SO can anyone help be figure out how to save the changes made to an excel file that is currently open in a webBrowser on a userform?
Right now this is all I have:
private void toolStripButton3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
webBrowser1.ShowSaveAsDialog();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Not updated
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
HELP PLEASE :(

ReportViewer: Two rldc files with same DataSource

I have a report working fine, but now I need develop the same report in other language (english btw).Same layout, same fields.
So I created another .rdlc file and other winform (Maybe it's possible use the same winform, I saw something like that on my research)
My problem is:
After I set all fields and layout, when I select .rdlc file on "choose report" in ReportViewer and do the same way I was doing. Something isn't right because I not getting all BindingSource and all TableAdapter automatically.
On .rdlc file I add all DataSet from DataSource that I was needing.
I Try add manually the TableAdapter from Toolbox because it's showing all components from the other report, but doesn't work.
What is the best way to do something like that? two rdlc file with same data, same DataSource.
I'm thinking create another DataSource file (.xsd).
(sorry my english)

Same data but different languages? Try this:
use a single RDLC file with a boolean parameter like blnEnglishLanguage
for every TextBox used as label set an expression like this: =IIf(Parameters!blnEnghlishLanguage.Value, "Item", "Articolo")
BONUS: give a look at this link to localize your form:
see accepted answer and the answer provided by noelicus.

what i have don is.
you need to set a parent window to IsMdiContainer = true.
and then you can open the windows forms with the report in the same parent.
Remove the form border of the windows form report windows
with the code for the buttons to open it in the mdi Container
awDushiHomesClients OpenawViewClients;
private void ViewClientsMenuB_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (OpenawViewClients == null)
{
OpenawViewClients = new awDushiHomesClients();
OpenawViewClients.MdiParent = this;
OpenawViewClients.FormClosed += OpenawViewClients_FormClosed;
OpenawViewClients.Show();
}
else
OpenawViewClients.Activate();
}
void OpenawViewClients_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
OpenawViewClients = null;
///throw new NotImplementedException();
}
for the second button use the same code but rename all awDushiHomesClients to lets say awDushiHomesClientsEng."But then your file name"
don't know what kind of information you are showing but if you just need to rename the column text copy and past the first report and rename it.

How to load the telerik report in reportviewer?

I am trying to load the telerik report on win form where i have a report viewer to show it ... But I am not successfull to load it. I am not getting its code working write. I want to make it on form load .
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Code here to load telerik
}
Any way to load it like crystal report can load
{
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = (#"C:\Users\CrystalReport1.rpt");
}
errors I am getting when I am do this
{
Telerik.Reporting.TypeReportSource typeReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.TypeReportSource();
typeReportSource.TypeName = "Telerik.Reporting.Examples.CSharp.ListBoundReport, CSharp.ReportLibrary";
this.reportViewer1.ReportSource = typeReportSource;
reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
}

What I normally do is to deign the report inside VS in a class library. I then reference the class library in the application, ASP or Winforms. In your case, Winforms, once you have added your class library to the bin, select the "Report Source" from the report viewer properties and add the report from a path or selecting your class library. Thats it.
