I am trying to read data with a test routine from a fairly simple 3rd party Excel file. The file has three sheets and was created by Open Office 3.x as an 'Excel 97/2000/XP .xls' file. The later, still to be programmed, application must later run on machines with Windows XP Professional using the 2.0 .net framework and no Office package installed. The content of the file does not need to be modified by the later application. For some reason, numeric values are not read correctly. They "convert" to DBNull. I've searched around a bit but not found a 'simple' solution for solving this problem. Adding 'IMEX=1' or 'HDR=Yes;IMEX=1' to the connection string results in an error 'Installierbares ISAM nicht gefunden' (installable ISAM not found).
Based on various examples I've found, I've written the following test code:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I read a csv file into my .net program using ado.net and display it in a datagridview.In the file I have two rows. The first column is a component id, and it is supposed to be numeric. But the user can edit the csv file before having my program load it, and accidentally put text there. That is something I want to edit when he presses a button to add the data to the database. So let's say he puts a value of A in the first record and a value of 1 in the second record. Or vice versa. What is displayed in the dgv is a blank in the first record and a 1 in the second, or 1 in first and blank in second. If both csv records are A, then what is displayed in the dgv is an A in both the first and second records. I don't understand what is happening. The fact that there sometimes is a numeric in the column makes it think it is a numeric field and therefore only display numerics and blank otherwise, and the fact that there's always text in the column makes the code know it is a text field?
I'm using VB.Net's Excel component to read Excel file, but the performance is totally slow, since it has to loop through cells to get values. Reading a file containing one sheet with 1162 rows and 105 columns (which is small size compared to my general requirement) already costs more than 5 minutes.1. I want to ask if any of you have suggestion on reading such an Excel file with better performance, except OleDB, cuz most compies here have vesion problem?2. Is it normal that it tooks a long time for Excel component to read Excel file, or is it that I implement the code in a wrong way?
I only want to place the numerical data in an array. At the moment I have the following code to do this. [Code]. This code places the numbers in the data array when there is not any text in the file, i.e. when there are no headers. I would like to place the headers in another array, and then have the numbers in the array as in the code above.
I'm having problem reading Binary file that has two types of data in it; Strings and numeric data in decimal format.[code]...
1. The loop doesn't stop, and it gives me "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" Error..
2. The output isn't accurate, apart from a few random correct strings and numbers..
3. After the loop is fixed, how can i save the data to an Array or write it to a text file?. Can the be saved line by line so that the output file has the same number of lines?
4. As you can see in the code, I've tried writing data in a file, but it doesn't work.. Messagebox does show some data (even though it's not accurate), the file however doesn't contain any data..
I'm trying to populate a ComboBox with all column headers I have in my Excel -file... Dim Polku = fdlg.FileName Dim XL_App As New Excel.Application Dim XL_WB As Excel.Workbook = XL_App.Workbooks.Open(Polku) Dim XL_WS1 As Excel.Worksheet = XL_WB.Worksheets(1) with ComboBox1 [Code] .....

I have a DEM file(Digital Elevattion Model File) and I am trying to open the file,where we have Latitude and Longitude values inside the DEM file.And, Now I have opened the file using Filestream and Read the file using BinaryReader.But, I am having a trobule in getting the values of Latitude and Longitude.I am getting Byte values randomly as 1,202,31,271 etc.But, we dont have latitude and longitude values more than 180,and also I am not getting 16 bit UInt values.For example, the values should be like Latitude 20.00416666666667 and Longitude 39.99583333333333.So,read the correct Byte values of the DEM file.The code I have used till now is:
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream("C:UsersadminDesktopHeader and DEM fileE020N40.DEM", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) Dim rd As New BinaryReader(fs) Dim convertDB As UInt16 For i = 0 To rd.BaseStream.Length

I have a program that I wrote that uses a system generated excel file from a remote system.
[Code]...
The issue I'm having is when I query the system generated excel file, it is not returning the last row. If I open the file in Excel and then save it, It returns all the rows. Since Windows 2008 64bit does not allow control via Excel to the file, I have to query the file via Jet provider or Odbc provider. I have tried using the Jet provider and the odbc provider.How do I get all the return all the rows with the system generation file?
I need to write VB program to open and read text file, store each field (separated by comma) into an array. In the first array, it's an excel file and I need to execute it, and once opened in excel, there is a macro program inside and i need also to exceute using VB.
I'm new to VB.net and have only a few projects under my belt. This one has me stumped!! I need to open a file and search its contents hex byte by byte. (Similar to Hex editor). On finding a particular value I need to replace it with a set hex value then write and close the file. So far I have only managed to read / write the ascii equivilant.
I have an excel file which is auto generated by third party software..and its readonly file and its data constantly keep changing online. Now I want to use or read that data in my vb.net application whenever its changes take place in excel file automatically.
The first thing to do is to browse the excel file in my vb.net program then read the content of excel file and display the value of excel content in listview.
I have always used Excel.interop before but I thought oledb would be simpler because, for this application, I only have to read the data which it can't seem to do. It accesses the file alright because I can't open the file while I am at a breakpoint. It attempts to read the file because oExcelReader.fieldcount = 14 which is correct. oExcelReader.hasrows = true which is not correct. The line where I use getstring(1) errors out and says there is no data for this row/column.
I need to read a .txt file and then put that into fields in an excel spreadsheet. for example i get print spool files that have invoices on them i need to put the customer names into a column of customer names and their addresses into a column of addresses. here is what i wrote to read with:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(TextBox1.Text)
I'm creating a program and it is paramount to its functionality that it can open->read->close a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file.Now, I've searched the forums with the keyword "Excel" and found a lot of stuff in many programming languages, none of which were any use to me.
I should pinpoint that I'm not that good at programming as university takes all my times, but every summer (like this one) i really enjoy tackling my problems via programming.[code]...
I want to read an excel file using VB.NET program. I know the logic below can do this. But I have a question. What if I don't know the name of the worksheet OR if the name of the worksheet is not SHEET1?
I want to rewad values from an Excel file that is always open and updating. I was using standard code to open up Excel and read from it, which worked fine, but that opens a new instance of the sheet. I need to read from a sheet that's already open.
I'm using xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\example.xls") which opens a new instanc of example.xls.
If example.xls is already open, is there a way of reading from it?
Working in VB in VS 2008 I'm trying to read from an Excel file using Oledb. I have no problem with it when the file is not encrypted, but the client has set a password on the working copy.
I read elsewhere that it's not possible to read an encrypted Excel file this way, but I find that hard to believe.
I want to get a value from 12 excel sheet. is there any way that i get the values without opening the excel sheet? I am using vb.net. if there is a way to read values without opening the excel file.
I have a form with a couple of combo boxes. The first combobox adds items based on each row in an excel sheet.
Public Sub FetchExcelValues(ByVal ControlType As String, ByVal control As Object, ByVal xlApp As Object, ByVal xlWorkBook As Object, ByVal xlWorkSheet As Object, ByVal column As String, ByVal row As Integer)
[Code]....
This basically reads each cell in the specified column until it hits a blank cell. Then it takes the value of each cell and adds it as items to the first combo box. Now, what I want the code to do next is to take the selected item from this combo box and look for a match in another worksheet. When it finds a cell that matches, it should pick up the value from column B of the same row as the match. There might be more than one match as well, so every time it finds a match, I want to pick up the value of Column B of the same row and add THAT as items in the second combobox.
I am working on a project which I want to share with some people, but since I wont give away my source, I want them to be able to customize the values (By values, I mean like if I have a button that says Donate, just an example, then I want the application to read the link from a .xml file, or an .ini file, so people can edit it)
I dont know if that IS Values, but it sounds like it to me.
Here is my Donate Button code (STILL JUST AN EXAMPLE)
Private Sub Button5_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click WebBrowser1.Navigate("http:mydonatepageSTILLJUSTANEXAMPLE.com")
I have a datagridview with 12 columns and 30 rows I want to use as a scoreboard for a game (no need to input or save data). Columns are for the players and rows for the scores of each turn played. Say player1 has a score of 10 I type it in in his column in row1, the 10 should show up in a label as his total. His next turn his score is 100, type it in row2 and the label should show 110 as total. Hope I am clear enough, is there anyone able to give an idea on how to do this (in code if possible)?
