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 have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.

Is there any advantage to using the VB2010 express version versus the VB2008 express version? Can they be installed side by side or will VB2010 express replace VB2008? I have no issues with the 2008 version, so I don't know if installing the 2010 version would be of any advantage.

I am an old VB2 programmer and in the process of moving up. In VB2 I could obtain a data row via and index on an access table. I can not find an example on how to do this. I can retrieve a single row using a query, but an index would be faster. I know in Oracle use can use a hirt to direct the query to use the index.Here is what I was during in VB2 (Sample) with no hint.
Set Stock_Tbl = "DataBaseName".openTable(Stock_Tbl_Name)
Stock_Tbl.Index="Symbol_Idx"
Stock.Tbl.Seek="MSFT"

I want to gather some data from some tables of an Access Database, I've found some solutions online, but I haven't found ways to fill a datatable, or dataset, and get each single field properly. Is it easier for me to get whole tables then get just the info that i want, or should I make a lot of searches in the access DB getting just what I want each time? Any code snippets for it? The Access Database is in an ACCDB file, with no user or password. I'm currently using VB.NET, but it doesn't matter if you answer in C#. [URL]

how to display data coming from different tables in access in a form?...the case is this:
3 tables in access:
AddBook(tablename) - ISBN(primary key), Book_Title, Author
Student(tablename) - Student_ID(primary key), Student_Name, Course, Year
Transact(tablename) - Transaction_No(primary key), ISBN(foreign key), Student_ID(foreign), Date_Borrowed
i think you can already picture it out... so what i want is to display data from Transact table and also display the data from Student and AddBook table base on the value of the foreign keys in Transact table....

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'm an experienced Office & VBA programmer, I am new to .NET programming. I'm in the process of migrating an Access 2007 database application from Access to Visual Studio Visual Basic project for further development. In particular, I am interested in using .NET controls to display data in a user-friendly hierarchical grid control.The data for each hierarchical display is stored in two separate tables (I call them tblData and tblExtraInfo), and then I use a query to join the data and prepare for display (I call the query qryBOM).

I am using this to copy tables in an Access database(2003). the questions I have are:
1. How can I make this more 'obejct oriented'?
2. How can I copy just the structure of the tables and not the data?
(Currently both are occuring)

I have a form with 5 fields(inputs). When I entered data in the form and click submit, the data is entered into an Access 2007 Database(Table). All the set up (connection) is working because the data table is getting populated with the user info. However, I also need to search the database by entering a name in the name text box and clicking a button.
This is suppose to populated all the fields with information from the data base if the user exist. The search part is not working. I have no more hair to pull. :) Here is the code:

I need to show a grid of saved projects (compare "orders") in a datagrid, where the projects are saved in an Access 2000 database with a similar schema as follows:
ID Name Country_ID Plant_Type
1 'Test' 1 1
2 'Second' 2 2
Let's call the file "Projects.mdb". This is then showed in the datagrid as:
ID Name Country Plant Type
1 'Test' 'Germany' 'Free Range'
2 'Second' 'France' 'Inclined Roof'
where the countries and "Plant Types" are fetched from a different table in a different .mdb file (also Access 2000, call it "Language.mdb", although there is a lot of different background data in it), depending on the current user's language preference. It is unfortunately not an alternative to merge these .mdb's into one file.
To be able to show the datagrid I have so far linked the tables from "Language.mdb" into "Projects.mdb", but this screws up when the project is being installed on another computer with the .msi file i created (we'd like to have this easily packaged and installed), as the "Language.mdb" doesn't exist on the linked path on the target computer (Basically the problem here).
I can come up with the following solutions:
Force all users to install on the same path, so that the links will work (undesirable)Use connection strings in the query as shown here on MSDN (still trying this out, but I need to work on the details)make a post-install script that relinks the tables according to the correct path.

I 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.
However, my insertcommand is shown as invalid. so I need your help to figure out my errors. I put the codes in my reply below to be clear.

give me the source code to add database connectivity in VB2010 express through ADO.Net. Including all the commands to add, update, delete, retrieve and modify the database fields. It would be really helpful if anyone can provide me with a small prototype working model with the source code.

wrote a program which works perfectly fine on the Win7 64 bit machine I wrote it on. Tried to run it over server and previous versions of windows (all 32 bit) and got an error (see screenshot attached) In some googling looked like there was an export function I missed so I've done: -Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Check "Show Advanced Build Configurations" box -Project -> project properties -> Compile -> Advanced Compile -> and I've read there is something that should be changed here (the target framework?)

I created a windows form in VB 2010 and I am trying to view it in 2008, but I get the error message "The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened".
Is there anyway I can re-save the 2010 project(similar to Microsoft word) in order to be able to open in older version?

(pardon me for re-using someone else's wording - but it seems this question comes up in each NEW version of the IDE) Does anyone know how to disable VB autosave? I like to open a working solution/project, mess around with it, and if I cant get it working, I like to exit without saving so that the original working version is left.
But silly VB 2010 autosaves changes, therefore stuffing up, a once working solution/project. I can understand autosaving whilst working though a large solution, but I prefer to click save once I have accomplished a routine, in the solution/project.

Is there a command or couple of code lines that will pause the running program for one or two seconds?
I have a program that checks the system time every 250milliseconds and I need to skip checking it three times the first time it comes back with ":00" seconds from the system clock.
Or another option would be to reset the timer to 1000 and then back to 250...

My problem is that I want to delete all but one of the records when the user presses a button, everything goes well until the 'ExecuteNonQuery' is reached.

I use windows Vista.I had been working intensly on a new program all day today and pretty much all day yesterday. I was almost finished.Then my computer crashed. I rebooted.When I came back into Visual Basic 2010 express, I expected that somewhere I would see my files. Besides... I HAD BEEN SAVING THE FILES ALL DAY LONG USING CONTROL+S on my keyboard. The little * symbol at the top of each file would go away. I assumed that meant it was actually saving my work as I went along. I did not, however, actually go to file->SAVE at any point along the way.
After coming back into VB2010 express, no autorecover dialog appeared. I looked for my project in the list, and it wasn't there. I looked at "recent files" and "recent projects" and found nothing. Finally I searched my whole hard drive for my project, and found only one EMPTY directory located at:
C:UsersDellLaptopDocumentsVisual Studio 2010Backup Files, which matched the name of my project I had spent the last two days working on.

I'm trying to retrieve data from an Access database - a simple one. (Just a single table with one column) My task is to view these records through a 'ListView'. No need to manipulate or anything. Just to retrieve data with a simple SQL statement and display via a ListView.
