I am getting errors when I try to use this adodb.connection and command in my code. The error I am getting is saying that the connection and command are not defined. I read online that depending on your version of vb that you might use the "OLE" connection instead of ADODB.

We have a VB.net application using both ADO.net and ADODB connections(both connecting to MS SQl server) Whenever an ADO.net connection throws an expection, we cleared the pools Now if any ADO.connection reopened and everything works fine Is there any way to clear pools for ADODB connection?
View 1 RepliesWe have had a visual basic.net (2002) service running on our server for several years now with no problems. However I recently needed to update one of the DB calls by adding additional fields to the SELECT statement. However, after adding the new fields, some of the returned data is coming back empty when I loop through the records. I have confirmed that the querystring is accurate and returns all of the data through a third party viewer, so I'm not sure what is going on.For example, in the code below, everything worked fine with field1, field2, and field3. However, when I add field4, data for field2 and field4 come back empty when looping through the results.

View 1 RepliesI want to access the methods of a dll that is not managed. Seems to be vb6 from my best guess and what I know about the program.That part I have managed to figure out. If I drag the x.dll to my bin folder, the interpreter wrapper is created, etc. I can access the methods in the dll just fine. The problem is the database connection.
For informational purposes: The dll is compiled for a vbscript .asp website. There are a few methods in the dll that just manipulate the input (which I can access error free- its how I tested the dll usage), but most make a db call to get or set or update, etc. data in the db. The dll expects an ADODB connection. The asp files are setup such as:
set DllObj = server.CreateObject("dll.class")
set connect = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
connect.open "SystemDSNName","user","password"
[code].....
It is using a DSN but just as easily could be a DSN-Less connection. My problem is that the dll expects the connection to be open and available to it. Can I make a ADODB database connection available and open for this dll in a vb.net asp.net website.Basically,I need to use the business logic and db data changes through this dll, but want to make the front end in asp.net.I know there is an ADODB namespace in .net somwhere and I tried using it but it was not doing the job and really, I did not quite understand how to.
I'm trying to set up a database connection between an ASP page running VBScript, and I have found code to do this. However, the 'provider' attribute to the connection does not work. The code is below:
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
<strong>conn.Provider</strong>="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open(Server.MapPath("mIndexDb.xls"))
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * From mIndexDbTable", conn

View 2 RepliesWe have a VB6 program that uses an ADODB.Connection to establish a database connection and use its execute function to run SQL statements. The connection we have established is to a SQL Server. It has been working fine. Currently, I am trying to change the connection to a MySQL database. I changed the connection string and the connection is ok.
However, when it comes to running the execute function, it returns a runtime error 3246 - connection object cannot be explicitly closed while in a transaction.
I checked the connection.status before calling execute and found that it is open. When I use MySQL's server connections to check the status, I found that there was a connection before and after execute was called.
I encountered this same error whether I used MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver or MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver.

View 1 RepliesI have upgraded my VB app from VB to VB.NET and its working fine. Now, I want to convert my existing DB connection strings from ADODB to ADO.NET so that I dont have to use MS Access on every client which runs this app. Currently the VB app looks up into an Access db to get the server ip, username, password etc. I aim to hardcode these values so that I wouldn't need the Access db anymore. Any inputs on how this could be done?

I have no experience with VS 2008 Express yet. But, I need to use it to make a small VB app for work that connects to an Access database and gets table values.I have no samples to work from. I keep getting the error: Type 'ADODB.Connection' is not defined. How do I create the reference to ActiveX Data Object?

But whenever i declare anything related to ADODB like dim con as new ADODB.Connection, then after that it gives me error and doesnt run the project. A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. After that if i comment that like (declaration), then error goes........ I tried uninstalling each and every component and VS as well but the error doesnt goes....i am using Windows 7 x64.

I have something strange occuring. The following code works 100% when run in VB2008 Express.When compiled and run onthe same system, it generates the above message.The codebasically opens a Access DB and loops thru the db There is a progress bar (also tried a simplelabel) to display progress using AbsolutePosition.

rsInUse.Open(OpenCommandSQL, dbInUse, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenKeyset, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockOptimistic)

1)What are different types of Cursors?
2)What are diff types of locks? In some sites-
Four types of locks availbale in ADODB
1.Optimistic
2.pessimistic
3.batch optimistic
4.readonly
In some sites Forwardonly , lock,adLockUnspecified
What are exact locks,can somebody tell me?
3) What is Z order Precedence?
4) dim X,Y as integer
They ask me X is of which datatype in VB & in VB.net? I told integer in both Vb & VB.Net,they told me wrong?

if i change it under settings it is working but i want to be able to change it in my running application, or when the application is opened for the first time i should be able to put in die path for the database.
I need my program to connect to a database within my application i.e.What I have:
m_cnADONetConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:Documents and SettingsmeroneyfMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsAsset Manager 2008inDebugDatabaseAssetManager.mdb"
What I need is: m_cnADONetConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = DatabaseAssetManager.mdb"
I have used:System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSystemDefaultImage.bmp"
for loading of images within the default directory. but this returns the app path but also includes "System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath" in the string?
I have a program where I open files and I store the location as a variable so I can reopen them later on. It works much like MS Word does, where it shows the names on the side and when I click it and open, it will open the file. Mine is a little different because it will store large numbers of file names in a list box because people are usually going to open folders full of files. The initial way I did it had the path name stored in a list box and it would open the file using that path. I decided it was a bad idea and I tried to use just the name of the file. However, I ran into a problem with the code that I was using.
Code:
If its checked, it will open the selected item from the list box instead.
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
'for all the indexes of the saved location record of array, if the selected item is found, then open that file
For counter = 0 To SavedLocations.GetUpperBound(0)
[code].....
So as you can see, what I have is it decides whether you opened from the list box or not. If it is not from the list box, it opens it up fine. It adds the information to the list box and stores some information in an array so I can access it later on. If it does open from the list box, then it will search for the file name in the array. If it finds it in the array, it will proceed to open the file using the directory. There is no else clause because it should be finding it 100% of the time.
The error I get is that parameter cannot be null. Filename2 never seems to get assigned, which means it's not finding the value in the array. I've tested and the value is in the array and the values are the same values.

I have a vb.net 2010 windows forms application with a strongly typed dataset. I am storing the database connection path in a txt file so that the database's location may be changed in the future for whatever reason. The typical location of the connection is the read only app.config from what I gather. I have the datasets modifier set as public but I am having trouble finding how to access the connection object for the adapter.
View 5 RepliesI need to process a text file created by a Streamwriter. I have the Streamwriter object but the file location is determined by the user. The problem is, I need to process *the file* not the contents-so I need the location.
Steamwriter doesn't seem to have a Location or File property. Or am I just missing it? How can I tell what file a Streamwriter object is writing to?
