Combobox Taking Values From Another Table Than That To Which It Is Bound?
Mar 18, 2010
I have looked all over the web for a way to set up a VB 2008 combobox but what I have seen makes me shudder! I want to , as In Access VBA, set the recordsource/datasource for the combobox i.e. the list shown in the combobox, to the values of another table (currency) and then when the user selects one of these values to store it in the (already) bound field of the combobox (to another table). In Access of course there was a wizard for this sort of thing, but in VB 2008 looks like it is just lots of code.
I have a login form that consists of 2 text boxes: txtUser, txtPass. Now these are not bound to any data table & I don't what them to be bound. When a new user enters his user name & password, I want to add these on a data table that has two columns: User, Pass. Data table information: Data Source = Login.accdb, Data table = LoginTable, Connection = LoginCn. I use visual basic 2010. So how do I do this?
I have a DataGridView that is bound to a DataSet I created from a database table named Contacts. The Contacts table contains a field called StatusId. StatusId is a foreign key to a table called Status. The Status table contains StatusId and StatusName.
I bound datagridview to bindingsource. The bindingsource has its datasource a collection Called Rates which is a collection of Rate items. The rate object has a property called VALUE. I need the user to be able to edit different values for the collection; However, on the datagridview, i need to keep displaying on one column called OldValue the existing Rate value before the change while allowing the user to edit that value in a second column called NewValue.
In other terms, One colum OldValue will keep the existing values from the DB before being edited by the user, this column OldValue is readonly. Another column NewValue will display, the 1st time, the old value from the DB (similar to OldValue when we do the Fetch from the DB), but it`s editable column, so the user can modify each value in the column NewValue without overriding OldValue cells. For now, I bound both columns OldValue and NewValue to the same property VALUE of the Rate object,
I got a table related to another table by orderref. I need to know what should be my SQL adapter command if I need to take some information from one table and some from another where orderref = "" or should I be making two separate SQLs?
I used to have this when I had only one table: myStr = "select * from orders where Orderref='" + txtorderref.Text + "'" Dim sqldaHistory As New SqlDataAdapter(myStr, nwindconn) sqldaHistory.Fill(myDataset, "orders")
I want to take the values from textboxes on a windows form and then update the values in the sql server database...I want to update only those fields for which a value has been entered by the user and leave the database fields as it is (no change or updation) for which the textboxes are left empty by the user.....I opted for sql command and then i couldn't find out How can I generate the query dynamically for such a situation??? Like I intialize the string by str= " Update Bookings set " and then how i can alter it by considering the textbox values that have been changed....I couldn't find the way...I need shortest and optimized code for this situation....
I would like to draw a figure like this. But i do not know how to start drawing it. What i could do is simple mathematics calculation, display something in a label and taking some values from a textbox.
I'm modifying an existing form in Visual Basic 2010 Express and attempting to work out some small kinks I've noticed. The one that I'm having an issue with is getting the form to completely fill the screen without the border going off screen. When I set the form's Size values at W:1024,H:768 the page always opens a little off. I tried setting the size a little smaller, W:1020,H:764, and it still does not perfectly fill the screen. Does the Size value include the border pixels or are the border pixels added to the form's Size value? Is there another value somewhere that could be affecting this?

Edit:
I haven't yet coded for the update option...Here is my insertion code and i wanted to implement the update feature the same way just couldn't figure out how i can generate the query dynamically....It's a Booking System application
For example; I have a DataGridView bound to a MYSQL Database. There are two string columns "Name" and "Gender". I need to make the "Gender" column a ComboBox where they can select "Male" or "Female".
I have a combobox2 this is bound to a datasource, which is an arraylist calledListItems.Everything is correct after the first For Next Statement - the listbox1Combobox1, and ComboBox2 all have 11 items. After the second for next loop, Listbox1 and ComboBox1 have 6 items, but ComboBox2 has 11 items, even though ListItems has only 6 items.
Has anyone here tried putting a combobox to a bound datagridview? The selected value of the combobox will depend on the value of the corresponding column in the database.
I have a datagridview. When the user clicks the edit button, the application fetches the records from the database and binds it to the datagriview. But I want to show the Gender Column as combobox with selectable 'Male' and 'Female' values.
I bind a datatable to the combobox.DataSource on load. I then give the combobox aisplayMember and a ValueMember (2 different columns out of the datatable). In the SelectedIndexChanged of the combobox I would like to use the SelectedValue property of the combobox, just to test I MsgBox(combobox.SelectedValue) and I get "Argument 'Prompt' cannot be converted to type 'String'." Why isn't it displaying the value?
I have a string field, EventAction, that is in the database.I want that column to be a combobox column.I want to add the different EventActions to the list and let the user select the action they desire.
Returns a list of customers with whitespace on the end.. very annoying .what can i do to trim in code behind?Also if I bind using the databinding on smart tag is there a way to trim? [code...]
Appropriate Title would be: Bind comboBox Tag to database.I have a comboBox on form which is bounded but and I need to populate it manually. With some reading on net i have found a way but it is not working
I can populate my combo, select item in combo, update database but the problem is when I load my form it displays empty combo (combo is fulled with my custom data but nothing is selected it must select correct ItemText) and after selecting a value in combo, the value disappears as soon as combo losses focus .
I have a combobox that is bound to a database.After I click "New Record" to insert a new record, I want to default to the first item in the Combobox list. This will speed up user input.any ideas. I have tried most ways but this should work correct:
I've got a combo box that's bound to a virtualpathbinding source. The column it's bound to (Display and value members) have duplicates that I'm trying to hide/remove.
I cannot remove the duplicates programatically as it errors (the control is bound, cannot change data).
I am using a bound combobox control in a vb.net application. How do I set the combo box to an item if I know the value of the ValueMember, but I don't know the DisplayMember. I can use the FindExactString method if I know the DisplayMember, but not if I only know the ValueMember.In explanation, the value member is an employee Number, the display member is the Name. I get the employee number from a detail item in another table and now I want to set the combobox to display the Name that goes with that detail item. Can someone post some vb code to show how to do this.
I have a datagridview bound to a datatable. I want replace one of the cells with a combo box and bind that combobox to one of the columns in the datatable. I have been able to replace the cell OK but currently have two issues I have not been able to resolve.
1. When I add items to the drop down (items.add ("Yes")...) they don't appear in the drop down box.
2. I can't figure out the syntax to bind a particular column in my datatable to the newColumn(combobox) in the datagridview.
dbConnection = New OleDbConnection cmdCommand = New OleDbCommand Try
There is a connection in my program to SQL Server and there is a query which is bound to a combo box, to pull out values from the database. For some reason, I get an error message during run-time, saying that the syntax is incorrect.
Here's the query: 'The SQL Command to be executed: projs = New SqlCommand("use " & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "''" & _ "go" & _ "select name from projects where condition = 'Y'", cnn1) cnn1 is the name of my SQL Client connection.
I'm loopiing through a datagridview and I want to get the selected value in a combobox, not the bound column's value. (I'm putting the contents of the dgv on a Word document.)
For icounter = 0 To Me.ConversationTblDataGridView.RowCount - 1 range.Text = range.Text & Me.ConversationTblDataGridView.Rows(icounter).Cells("PersonID").Value <-- I want to change "Value" so I get the displayed value, not the person's id range.Text = range.Text & CHR(13) Next icounter
It will not take .DisplayMember or .SelectedItem and .Selected returns True of False. Can anyone tell me how to get the name that shows in the combo box instead of the id number?
I have created a search/query facility after watching one of Beth Messi's videos. I notice that we can convert the textboxes on the auto generated search toolstrip to buttons, comboxes, etc. So, when we wanna search for a data in the datagridview, we enter a keyword. I wonder if it is possible to change the textboxes to comboboxes and make it bind to the datasources, so that users can use the drop down, instead of typing?
