I am a co-op student learning vb.net and I have a project which retrieves data from an xml file within the program (based on selections made from combo boxes) and calculates and displays prices.[code]I have one combobox that loads data from the Processes section just fine, but then another uses the same method and gets an "IndexOutOfRange" error or "Column AB12345Bed_Size Not Found" even though I am using the same method for both. For "Processes" I am using DataView.Sort on "<12345Material_Process>" which reflects the selecteditem in the combobox. The program retrieves that row without a problem. [code]
I wish to know what location does the "|Data Directory|" in "|Data Directory|XYZ.sdf" that shows in the connection string when I create a dataConnection using the wizard in VB 2010 Express. Is it the Application's directory in Program Files or is it the AppData folder of the client computer.If it is the Application Directory in Program Files then the client user wont be able to write to the database without Admin rights. If so how do I make a dataConnection to a file in the AppData folder using the new data connection wizard.
I'm trying to print from VB Express but it seems to be so difficult. I tried the printform component only to see the end result being blurred. I have data in one table (which will be used as the header) and data in another table (the body) which I need to print out. Seeing that the express edition does not have any reporting capabilities, I turned to several other open-source projects providing "free" reporting tools, such as MyNeoReport. MyNeoReport is acclaimed to be so good but the developer lacks a detailed tutorial for it. And the tutorial's I did manage to find are all in C#. Not helping.
How do I go about printing the data? The design is simple. Extract the company information from table A to display as the header, extract the body from table B to display as the results. I also need to calculate the totals of the body and add it to the footer or bottom of the report body. I can't seem to find any relating forums or questions similar to mine on any forum. Currently on the form, I've got a few labels, textboxes and a listview. I know I need to load the filtered data into a data grid at some point.
Is it possible to give me a detailed example of how to do this? I'm really frustrated with this whole printing thing. I don't have the finances to buy these other reporting products and the one's claimed to be free all comes with a price-tag in the small print.
want to know how can i click the data in my datagrid view and then pass the data to the textbox.. also i want to make my datagrid view not editablemy auto increment field has a 7 data (for example 1-7)now when i delete the no ata the actual data is delete
I have started a form application using visual studio 2010 express, vb programming. I'm using Access as my database.My goal is to have ComboBox1 display a ProjectID and ComboBox2 display a TestNumber. Once the Test Number is selected I want my textboxes in the form to display fields from the row that the selected Test Number is in.I have 2 tables set up right now "Projects" and "TestData". The "Projects" table has a [ProjectID] field, the remaining fields are just misc. project data. The "TestData" table also has the [ProjectID] field, and then the [TestNumber] field, then the remaining fields are misc. data.
Filling [ProjectID] in textbox1 is easy, in the properties I select DataSource from the Projects table, display [ProjectID] field. Where I'm having troubles is ComboBox2 displaying the TestNumber from the other "TestData" table. If I select that field, it fills the ComboBox with EVERY TestNumber there is. So for Project 1 there is a test 1... over 500 projects, that combobox lists 500 Test 1's, no way to tell what project it belongs to...How do I make ComboBox2 only display Test Numbers that pertain to the Project number selected in ComboBox1?Using this code I can get it to work:
Dim ProjectNo, SQLString As String Dim dtTableData As New DataTable() Dim dbDataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter
[code]....
I also imported system.data.oledb Problem with this code is it will only filter data in ComboBox 2 but when you make your selection from ComboBox2 it won't activate the row so none of my databinding textboxes fill anymore. Before the code/query is ran it fills up the textboxes perfectly after every selection I just have no idea what project that report number belongs to because the whole field is displayed in the dropdown. I can fill the form with ComboBoxes and they display the corresponding row data because I use a "datasource" instead of textbox "databindings" but I don't want to use 20 comboboxes as my entry form...
I've been reaserching for 3 hours on how to save data and retrieve data in mysql database I am using vb.net 2010 it would be nice if someone will post some codes or links
I'm working on a small project - a database program to track and log the progress of some experiments. I'm using VB 2010 Express, and I'm pretty much just learning as I go. I'm getting ready to learn about the data models available, and am having trouble navigating the info I find.Is it best to develop the data within the SQL CE environment, or does that require the end-user to download additional libraries/programs? Is there a better data model for my needs (not much complex data processing, but a sizable amount of records/tables)?
On VB.NET 2005 and 2008, if you were debugging you could roll over the variable you set as an array and a little "+" would pop up next to the array variable and you could click it and see all of the data loaded into the array.
I've got a data-bound data grid view and one of the fields is an image. How do I scale down the image to a reasonable thumbnail size (say, 100px wide) and adjust the height and width of that cell so that it fits the image?
I have written lots of code with the ADO Library in VB Excel and previous versions of Visual Basic. With the dissappearance of the recordset object, how do we perform data manipulation with an attached Access Database? It seems things could be a lot easier, and less complicated by now, however, the best methods appear to currently remain ellusive.
I need to connect to an MySQL database in my VB.NET application (VB 2010 Express). When I attempt to use the Data Sources wizard to establish the connection, it does not provide an ODBC data source. I'm using Add New Data Source/Database/DataSet/New Connection which shows the Add Connection dialog. The only options it gives me for data sources are Access & SQL Server and the OLEDB data provider. It does not appear to give me the option of adding a new data source provider. Attached is an image of my current Change Data Source dialog. Where do I get the ODBC data source provider and how do I install it into Visual Studio?
I am trying to use the combobox to update/edit/view the saved data (in contact form) from sql server.
My Load_Combobox (in contact form): Private Sub Load_Combobox() 'Type cboType.Items.Add("Director") cboType.Items.Add("Principal") cboType.Items.Add("Project Manager") cboType.Items.Add("Technical Manager") [Code] .....
The problem now is when I saved a record into sql server (EG Technical Manager) and try to view back the saved data, it always show the first item (Director) in combobox. But, my sql server has saved is "Technical Manager" for that saved record.
I created a winform that display an item master in a DataGridView, bound with a DataView. Let's just say it has columns/fieldsitem_id item_name item_description I wanted to make a single text box that will be searched in all fields. So if any field in a row contains searched item, it will be displayed. My current idea is to create a DataView with RowFilter contains all rows such
I just want to display data in a DataGridView (from SQL - already made the connection) based on what is selected in a ComboBox (data that is also coming from SQL). The 2 are separete on the form. I am using VB 2010.
This doesn't work for me: objCommand2.CommandText = "SELECT ProductID, Name, Color, Size, ListPrice FROM SalesLT.Product WHERE ProductCategoryID = " & cbCategory.SelectedValue
I'm trying to create a simple Data Grid that will automatically save changes. So far I have a data grid connected to a MS Access 2007 Database that reads the data. I can create new fields in the Data Grid, but I need to program to save the data automatically to the database on update (or on close).
I have been reading about ADO, SQL, datasets, data adapters etc and have gone into information overload. My next step is to create a simple data file of my own that I can manipulate, update, sort etc in VB Express. Do I need another piece of software? I read about MySQL, which I understand is primarily used to access databases on the net, but can that be used to create a simple local data file on my PC? Can you simply hard code something in VB Express?

Instead of computing the result for each value of variables in combo boxes 1 & 2 separately. I want to compute the result for all the values of variables in both the combo boxes. This whole collection of computations is to be displayed in the Data Grid View, while on top of each column I want combo boxes with the same values as combo box 1 & 2, to optimize the selection from Data Grid View.
