I built the sample project "How Do I" Data Access and ran into a problem adding, updating or deleting records. The project works like a champ until this step... It will let me delete, change or add records just fine, but when I save and close project and go back to my "show table data" in the database explorer nothing has changed?

View 6 RepliesI am currently working on a simple data encryption program in VB 2008 express. Basically, I want the user to be able to select any file type and the program will read the data and store it in a text box. The user would then input a key, push the encrypt button and the program would XOR each byte of data with each character from the key and store the data in the third text box. I have written a program that has similar functionality only, it will not read from files, it simply reads data from a text box, so I have a encryption algorithm that works.Here is my

I have a set of labels that contain number values that need to be saved into a txt file and recalled from a text file by a button click event.
Ive been searching these fourms for days trying to find the answer to the save / load data problem. From what I understand, XML should be used to do this. But no matter how much I read I cant make sense out of how to solve this issue. I just need a simple and quick fix that dosen't have to use XML[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am trying to store data to access by VB 2008 express. basically, I have 13 check boxes to let the users to choose. when they finish checking the boxes, they will click the button "submit" to submit it. VB will store this as a new row in the database.

I have noob question. I made a dataset of a sql express 2005 database using the designer. So it's a typed dataset. Then I declare some tableadapters and fill them.Now I do this to add a record to my dataset:
Private Function SaveOrder(ByVal controlenummer As Integer, ByVal PK_BaanID As Integer, ByVal starttime As DateTime, ByVal stoptime As DateTime) As Integer
Dim orderRow = dsIntveen.tblOrder.NewtblOrderRow
orderRow.Controlenummer = controlenummer

What i want to do is the following:
I have a form and i want,by clicking the appropriate button, to update the height and weight values which have the specified primary key 'id'.
The primary key 'id' is of type IDENTITY.The problem is that the above code does not work. It says Must declare the scalar variable "@id".
I have a text file that the first part of my program writes data to, but for this second section, I need to read that file and use pieces of that data and average them out. The text file is setup up with 90 lines of data starting with the first 9 lines containing data and the 10th is a blank space. I need to read line 6, 8, and 9. I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line. If you have any info that can lead me to the answer that would be great. I would prefer you just point me in the right direction because I would very much like to somewhat figure it out in the process.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 in Windows 7(64-Bit). I've added a datasource to my project and dragged a table from Data Sources onto my form. It automatically created a DataViewGrid and placed this statement in my form load event:
Me.BillsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DoBills_2009DataSet.Bills)
The DataGridView shows all the correct fields/columns. The .DataSource property for the DataGridView is set to the automatically created BillsBindingSource. When I preview the BillsTableAdapter, the data appears. But data does not appear when I run the app. The datagridview is empty. When I build the app and run the executable, I get a Microsoft .NET Framework error message that says: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the applicaiton will close immediately. The 'Microsoft .ACE.OELDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine." If I click "Continue" I get my form with an empty DataGridView. What am I missing to get the data to display in the grid at run time? Oh, and I've also tried using the DataGridView in C# and I get the same problem.
I have designed an application for a company which has 5 client computers that read and write data to an sql2008 instance on a server.I would like to know the way to detect a change in a table whithout having to refill the table adapter.Let's say that all the client applications have a datagridview on the main form which binds to a table on the database lets say Members table (members binding source)Whenever a client makes a change to that table (lets say that it updates the Last name of a member) i would like the rest of the clients to detect that update and as a result ,update the specific row or cell in the datagridview.Is there some kind of event that is raised?

I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
