I have a VB.net application that has three project in it. Two of the project are DLL with references in the primary project. I have a public Model "RegSaveGet" in the primary project listed below. When I look for the namespace for the module from one of the DLL projects I can not see it. I want to use this module from the two DLL projects. I can only see it from the primary project.

I want to check in an Access Database if a primary key exists using VB.Net & OleDb:
By primary key name
By number of fields as primary keys
I have a database program, and the first row of the table i'm inserting into is a primary key, just a number that increments by one each row. This is my SQL statement,
SQL = "INSERT INTO Squad VALUES('" & (NUMBER) & "','" & txtfirstname.Text & "','" & txtsurname.Text & "','" & txtdob.Text & "','" & cbxposition.SelectedItem & "','" & lblhiddenid.Text & "')"
I am in the process of creating a system using VB in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. The system which I am creating is connected to an Access database via a tableadapter.Currently, I am coding a form for a table called Employee and this form allows the user to create a new employee, edit or delete an existing employee. Editing and deleting an existing employee works fine but adding a new employee is causing me trouble. When I specify an employeeID (this is the primary key), the declared value is stored appropriately in memory and it also displays in the form, however once I save the new employee to the database, the employeeID always defaults to 0 for some unknown reason. So, the record which I've just entered has a primary key of 0 regardless of what the the primary key should be.
The employeeID is declared as an integer and the value is obtained by getting the employeeID of the last record in the table and adding 1 onto it. I've also tried hard coding the employeeID and a specific number, but this does not make any diffence. I've reused the code from another part of the system which works fine before, but why it suddenly doesn't work is baffling me. The employeeID field in Access is a long integer.

I'm using vb2005express for forms (front-end) and ms access database. I have a form with a master-detail setup. The problem I'm having is that when I set the primary key column to autonumber, I don't get the pk value generated in ms access database into my master datatable in forms when a new record is created. Then I tried setting the AutoIncreament to True in the pk column of the datatable in my dataset (forms). This generates a number in my pk column but its not the number generated in the database (since I think because the pk column is still set to AutoNumber). So I change the field property of my pk to Number in the access database and on my dataset (forms), i still have AutoIncrement to True.
This works okay since what it seems to be doing is getting the max value for the pk column when the datatable is filled upon form load. The problem now is that I normally don't do tableadapter.fill(datatable) at form load since I think there would be a performance issue if record counts around millions. What happens now is that when I create a new record, the pk generated is still 1 which will cause duplicate violation when saving to database. I'm not quite familiar with access features but in oracle, what I do is I create a sequence in database then I create a function that gets the next value of the sequence. Then at form load I set the datatable.column.default_value = get_sequence. How do I do this in ms access?
i am wondering if it is possible to get the source code for the following:
1. use vb.net code to set on/off primary key when connected to Access database
2. update a particular data.
for e.g: hostname: AES-19 *use source code to check data in Microsoft Access database
if hostname is new, insert into Access. if hostname already exist, update into Access
*so that i will not have duplicate data in Access.

MS-Access Database
Table: myTable
Field1: ID (COUNTER, which is autoincrement in Access)
Field2: SURNAME (VARCHAR)
Field3: NAME (VARCHAR)
I want to get ID returned, whenever I insert a row. Is there a way? (I am using VB.Net)
EDIT: Solution using SELECT @@IDENTITY
'Execute insert statement and return identity (autoincrement ID field)

I have noticed that whilst in the past using MS Access you could have a primary key field on a form and have it not visible. You could still use it for Dlookups etc using the value in the field no problem even though it is not visible. In Vb if i hide a textbox that is bound to a PK field in a datasource and try to use its value in code i get an error. Making the field visible again prevents the error. My goal is to use a PK bound textbox not visible to the user but still read its contents.
Also, what is the equivalent of a simple DLOOKUP in VS2010? EG. You have the PK and want to know, say 3 other pieces of information from the record based upon the PK you have.
I have managed to successfully create a logon page and have created a form to insert data into one of my tables using text boxes and a "Save" button, however the first field in the table is the named "CustomerID" and is set to Autonumber, this is the primary key of the table. If I enter a record into the table in Access it automatically enters the next valid ID however when I can't seem to make this happen when entering data via my VB form!
View 7 RepliesWhat's the syntax for an Update query for a table without a primary key?Disclaimer: Frustratingly, adding a primary key is not an option. My program is a small program in a much larger system with poor data management. My development time does not include rewriting the other software.
Note: The database is Microsoft Access.
Note: Similar to: Excel: TableAdapter UpdateCommand for table without primary key
UPDATE: Am I correct in saying, "If the table in the database has no explicit primary key, then there can be no valid TableAdapter UpdateCommand?"
How would i get a certain text inside a textbox to equal that text space to space or null to space?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(Textbox2.Text + " ") And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Textbox2.Text) Then
Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.Remove(0, Textbox2.TextLength)
Textbox3.AppendText("a")
End If
Btw: after i finish this step my project will be finished!

When I add a new row to an access database, I would like the primary key to be automatically incremented and entered. I've got this to work using a sql database, but it doesn't work with access for some reason. The following code works if I give the code a value for "@key" which is my primary key column. If I leave it out I get the error "Number of query values and destination fields are not the same". I don't want to have to supply the primary key, I want it to generate automatically.

In the database the primary key is type "AutoNumber". Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Furthermore, my other C# projects that have Core-Project as a dependency (in the solution settings), are able to declare Core objects.

I'm using VS 2010, and I did a project using VB and a database in Access. The problem is that when I try to put that "application" on other computers, sometimes, is not working. I thought it can be because on these computers they don't have access, but on one computer, is running another app which is using Access and there is no Access installed. How can I check if my application requires Access to be installed or not?
Here is a example of how I did the connection:

I am using Access 2010 and VB in VS2010.I have created a DB and have several tables. 1 table in particular called Employers, has the normal AutoNumber Primary key. Everything in Access runs fine. I used Access to develop a basic model application of the full version I am developing in VS.My VB front end contains a dataset linked to the employers table. I have dragged onto my form the "detail" view of this DataSet, not the DataGridView. The usual controls are in place such as the EmployerBindingSource, EmployerTableAdapter, TableAdapterManager and a EmployerBindingSourceBindingNavigator.On my VB form Scrolling through the record set is fine and all works well.My problem is after I click the "Add" record button on the EmployerBindingSourceBindingNavigator. The form fields go blank as expected awaiting user input. However, the field that is bound to the employer_id field (the Employer table's primary key) shows a value of -1.The insert command works no problem, and having looked at the database the table contains the new record with a correctly incremented PK
