I have a few bound data controls on a form. However, there are certain data fields in the same table from which this data is coming from which I would like to be able to access in memory but which is not bound to a control. I have tried looking through the properties of my datanavigator, my dataadapter and my databindingsource and can't seem to find out how to sort this.
In simple terms, I have a data navigator to iterate through various fields in my dataset. I want to be able to access to the contactID of the currently visible / selected contact. The contact ID exists in the data source but I do not want to show it, just access it. How do I do so without issuing a manual SQL call to the database again?
I have a windows form with multiple TextBoxes that are bound to a DataSet of type XML. I load text into the textboxes using DataSet.ReadXML method in the form's load event.
I have another windows forms application which edits the XML contents in that XML file.
How do I force the textBox controls on this form to refresh once the XML datasource file items are changed?
I'm currently working on a data entry application in VB.NET and I'm using data-bound controls by simply dragging the table from the Data Sources window onto the form. It's my first time doing this, but this will save me quite a bit of time since this table has plenty of fieldsAnyway, my problem is that when I enter an invalid value in a textbox and then delete the text it won't let me select other controls or even close the form! For example, say I have an Age field in the DB, which is an int and I mistakenly type "," on its textbox. Then I decide I actually want to leave that field blank (considering it allows nulls) so I just delete all of the textbox's contents, after doing so, I'm not able to switch focus to another control or close the form.
We are binding most of our text boxes and dropdown boxes to a BINDING NAVIGATOR (with a DATA SOURCE of a DATA TABLE).When the BN is clicked through the text boxes all change immediately.We need to use some non-bound controls as well.First one is 4 radio buttons that when clicked will change a single value in a DATA TABLE.What would be the best method to do this? Should I track when the CURRENTCHANGED event occurs on the BINDING NAVIGATOR.I'm thinking that I could trick this by BINDING the SINGLE FIELD to a HIDDEN TEXTBOX and when that textbox CHANGED event occurs mess with the radio buttons and visa-versa.
We've got a bunch of forms that are using data binding through a binding source control to get text from a textbox into a dataset and then into a database. The problem is that we need to be able to strip trailing spaces before saving the data.
Is there an easy way of doing this without having to go through the dataset manually trimming every string? Ideally everything should update to keep things consistent (e.g. no trailing spaces in the database, dataset or textbox).
I have a vb.net 2010 form with 22 data bound controls from two tables held in a dataset which is navigated by a bindingnavigator. This successfully adds deletes and updates. However what I need is when adding a new record I need some of the fields to be pre filled out. More specifically I have points balance fields etc which could be any value but will normally be 0 on a new customer so I want to initialize them to 0 when adding new records.
In my application, I have a data bound form using a binding control (built by the wizard). The application has one primary data screen plus a few more on tabcontrol subscreens.Picture for example that the tabcontrol has two tabs, tab1 and tab2.When the form is displayed, tab1 is visible.Now picture the form or window split in half the top part of the form has a few textbox controls bound to the data and there are a few textbox controls in the lower half of the screen on tab1 of tabcontrol1.There are a few textbox controls on tab2 as well.When the form displays, I can access any of the .text properties of any of the textbox's that I can see on the form and in tab1 of the tabcontrol.BEFORE tab2 is chosen or even, I need to get some of the data from the .text property on a textbox control that is on tab2.I have tried to get the data but as far as VB is concerned, it does not appear to be there UNTIL tab2 is displayed.
To prove this, I put a command button on the form and it simply does this: MSGBOX (mytext box33. text)mytextbox33 is a databound control on tab2 of the tabcontrol1.tab2 is not in focus and apparently, neither is the data.how can I read the .text property of a textbox that is on a form but the form (or tab) is not in focus?
After I have retrieved my data from my access database, I would like to insert text into one of the columns in a new row. Is this possible? Here's a snipit of my code I use to retrieve the data from access:
If con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then con.Open() sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader() rtime = Now()
[Code]....
It's the rtotal_time value that I need to insert into a new row, in and cell, the datagrid.
I have a database created with vb 2010 express. I have five records in it now. When i delete two of them the records are removed from the datagrid. the remaining numbers are 1,2,3. if i add a new record the number for this record is number 6 instead of being number 4. the records are removed but not the contactid number.
I don't normally use strongly typed datasets, but I am maintaining an existing application that uses them.This application has a form to edit rows in detail view, so we have the navigator toolstrip with nav buttons on top, including one to add a new row.When this button is clicked, I need to update one of the bound text boxes with a value from the underlyingThe field in question is defined as nvarchar 25 It's almost always integers in this field, but one row has a string.In the dataset, I have a table adapter to go get the max value + 1 where the field is numeric, like this:
SELECT internal_num = CAST(MAX(internal_num) + 1 AS NVARCHAR(25)) FROM dbo.invoice_log WHERE ISNUMERIC(internal_num) = 1
Please help for database connectivity using vb2008 to ms access,and also how bound the controls like textbox going to database using vb2008 as front and back is ms access

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and want to design my Dynamic crystal reports. In vb6 i normally did this via bounding each control of the section1 ,2 or 3 via run time code by giving the name of that control something like
.section3.controls("txtName").text=some value
can I did the same with crystal reports as well in VB.Net if yes than how.?
what event fires when individual textboxes that are bound to a data source using the properties pane gets refreshed? I wish to use this event to populate a few textboxes that are not bound.
The following code works (rows are filtered by the select expression), but then all the controls in the datarepeater are empty. When set to .DefaultView all records return and all controls have their values.

I have a form with some textboxes on it. The textboxes show values from a table. I have a binding navigator that lets you step through the records in the table and the textboxes update. What I want, is to have a control, say a listbox, that allows you to select a value which will filter the data behind the controls so that you only have one record.
So, for example, say you have a table of contacts. There are textboxes on your form that show name, phone, address etc. You could then have a listbox that showed a list of all the contacts and you could select one, which would in turn the textboxes. The filtering field could be contactID for example.
In an earlier post today [URL].. jmcilhinney in post #9 says,Quote: If you're going to use a DataSet at all then there's no reason not to use a typed DataSet. I would not recommend dragging items from the Data Sources window directly onto a form but that is not a requirement of using a Data Source.
I was wondering what is the down side of dragging items onto the form. I don't mind doing the manual programming, I would just like to know the reason I'm doing it.
I am writing a simple Address Book Application using Typed Dataset & Bound Controls. 1<sup>st</sup> Form for Entering Addresses 2<sup>nd</sup> Form for Adding New 'CITY'. To select a city for address I am using a data bound combo box which shows a list of Cities.
While entering with a address if user found the required City Name is not found in the Combo list, he opens a 2<sup>nd</sup> Form to Add a City name to database & returns to Form1.
Here the expected newly added city doesn't appear in the combo list, so I tried to Refill the underlying table with following code
[edit]oops - stupid typo - this is resolved and explained in the next post[/edit] I've got a BINDING SOURCE - that I bind to controls - textboxes mostly. I create a row in the datatable behind this BINDING SOURCE like this.
I have an Address Book project with a listbox. The listbox is bound to the database via the little arrow pop-up box in the corner of the listbox. I have the DisplayMember set to FirstName, and obviously only display the First Name of the contact in the ListBox. Is there an easy way to change it so that it displays the First and Last names? I can't change the binding because I need it to get the ID of the record selected.Here's the basis of my code...

I've been building controls for many years professionally and personally, but even back in VB6 days I just could not work this out. After all this time I remembered about it again.If I create a usercontrol/containercontrol and add one or more controls to the controls surface, I just cannot figure out how to access the controls at design time.
I want it so every time I click an ITEM in the Listbox it displays ALL the data into the textbox. I know there's an easy way using table adapters and binding the listbox, but I'd prefer to do it this way for my project.
I was create Access database with Access 2003. I create VB project with Visual Studio 2005 Standard With connection wizzard I create coonect with this Access database, select all tablesI see this database inside Data sources and inside Server explorer Test connection is OK When I drag and drop table from Data sources, Wizzard don't create DataGridView, DataSourceBinding etc .. and I see popup window with mesage: Object reference not set to an instance of an object and then "game over"
Still experimenting with datagrids and ran into another problem...I'd like to sort a column displayed in a datagrid bound to an Access table programmatically. The field is a date ime type and is sorted in descending order in Access. I can manually sort it at run time but i'd like to know how to sort it with code.
I have a drop down box that I want bound to "TicketBindingSource - InvoiceStatus". However I want to have the text bound only. The choices I would like to specify from my own list (Invoiced, Needs Invoice...) When the user clicks on a choice I want it to update the database. [code]...
(I'm using VS2005)Instead of using a bindingnavigator, I'm setting one field as a databound combo box with the display member and selected value set to the field.Then the other fields are text boxes and change based on the selected value of the combo box.The problem is that when I run the app, the form won't close.
Is there anyone who can tell me the code for the below? Receive a lower bound and an upper bound of a range. Also receive a number of random numbers to generate. You must validate
1) the numbers are integers 2) the lower bound is less than or equal to the upper bound 3) the number to generate is positive (i.e., > 0).
Generate this many numbers in the specified range and keep track of how many of each are generated in an array of counters. Once all the numbers have been generated, display in a List Box the number, the raw count data, and the percentage of how many times the number was generated displayed with two decimal places of precision.
