i am having a trouble about adding a file location (e.g. c:/bla/blahblah)to a database i have my code here
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=G:\WindowsApplication2\Database1.mdb"
AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.settings.volume = 100
[code]....
everytime i add a mp3 file to listbox it should get the file location and pass to the database but it seems my database is empty?
I created a database in SQL server compact 3.5 I have a few fields in that.Later when I tried to delete one column and added so more, change was not saved. I did it all using server explorer of VB.Net. when I make the change, at that moment I can see the newly added columns but when I make dataset for this table
After adding a UserControl to a form which access my database I get this warning: Warning1The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ Data Source = C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDEDatabase.sdf ] C:UsersUserDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsProject1Project1Options.Designer.vb2160
Thing is I never had a database at that location, my database is and has always been in MyDocuments in the Project folder itself. There is nothing anywhere in my code referring to that database! When I double click it I get sent to this line in the Designers window: Me.Controls.Add(Me.BoxControl1) Even though I get this error I can still access my database, so basically it does absolutely nothing except drive me mad! So how do I fix this?
I use VB2008 and database access and Crystal report.my problem : when ever I change location the database. I will always change location in my report from crystal report. It's very difficults and waste the time because I have many report. how to set up location only 1 place and impact to many report.
My VB Code :
Dim dbname1 As String = "D:AF_SoftwareDBDBAF1.mdb" Public Strcon As String = "Provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=" & dbname1 & ";jet OLEDB:Database Password=999"
make code in crystal report , if i want change drive to drive Z / or somthing else.now, i am go to the report and click change location.
I am pretty new to the vb community and very new to this forum. I am glad I found this place too because its an extremely helpful place due to how much time a lot of you have put in helping others and such; great work.
Well on to my question that I wasnt able to find out exactly using my search. What I want to do is use opendialog to select a location to an access database and then take that location, and use it to update my connection string db location. Would it be possible to edit the path at runtime like that using an opendialog? Also, if that is possible, would it be able to save that location to the program so that I wouldnt have to be edit again. The reason why I just dont hardcore the location into the database is because there will be many different computers that the program will be installed into and the person I am making this for wants the flexibility to move the database around at will.
In my database I have this "C:UsersLauraDesktopUni AnimationBluedot.gif" in a table called "images" and within a colomn called "image" I thought this code would work but I don't understand the error message I am getting. PictureBox1.Image = ds.Tables("Pipelining").Rows(inc).Item("image") If anyone could give me a hand that would be good
I want to Backup my Database to a location and restore it afterwards. The problem is , i want to keep my program open. I seem to have a problem with this, the connection stays open. How can i do this , close connection and open it again without data loss?

I have made a small app with a SQL Database, published and installed it on my desktop pc with the express version.What directory does .net place the database in that has been installed.
on my program i have an activation in it and in order to activate the program you need to enter a code that is stored in the settings. so i was looking through my computer and i found the programs config file. and so I opened it and i found all of the codes for the activation. I need to find out how to make the file so the user doesn't have access to it and then how to move it to a more hidden place in the C: drive.
i just want to ask how can i save the file location or directory of a file in mysql without deleting its slashes...i tried to save it directly.. for example: the original directory is c:folderimg.jpg and when i checked it on mysql it is save as c:folderimg.jpg
I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
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 am developing a vb.net windows application with crystal report and ms access. My database is stored in bin folder. I cannot bind database to report after deployment. How can I set the database location in report?
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?

Program conversion VB6 to VB2008 I have software which uses an ini file (this is necessary as sometimes the ini file needs editing). Normally you place the ini file with the exe.
How do I refer to the ini files location in VB2008 The readini has lines similar to this at the moment where I have set up the test ini file on the root of D:.
i am using an unbound datagridview so i can dynamiclly add rows. all that is working fine. but the grid is not is the location i have coded.. i am using the defualt form as a base then coding the unbound stuff in.. should i just create a blank class file and do everything? the only problem i am having is the grid must bees in the correct location according to the pixel point that i have given it. Right now it is placing the grid at point (0,0) no matter what point is entered on the line for location. so what am i missing??????
I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?
we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.
