Connecting To MS Database From Form?
Jun 15, 2009
I have recently just decided to get back into learning some coding and downloaded the MS Visual Basic 2008 Express addition, and i believe this is the right forum, not vb.net.My question is how to open a connection through code to an access database.From what I remember you have to initialize the variables before the functions up top and then open the connection string somewhere. Can someone provide some basic code to open the connection between the form and the database. I am just starting out again and want to basically just populate a combo box by clicking a button, from a table in access with 5 colors.
import.system.oledb >>>>>>>>>>>>?
dim connection as oledb >>>>>>>>>>>?

I'm trying to write a method in VB.net so that when I click a button it queries the database and returns all the values which match a textbox which is located next to the button. I have no idea how to do this, I assume in the onclick method for the button I will need to pull in the value from the textbox, connect to the database and display the results to a gridview?

I am a wannabe programmer but quite new, started with VB.net about 1 month ago.I write on this forum because It's the first time that I'm actually stuck. The problem is I cannot find a way to connect to SQL server database I have created and saved earlier on my HD using visual express 2010. I want to find a way to connect using code, not by click and drop. I just hope you won't find my issue too trivial to even answer it.The project is very simple, it just consists of a button that should connect to the db on click.[code]

I use VB.NET 2010 Express and Windows 7. Access is not installed.The code used to connect database password protected, is:
Public Class Form1
Dim cn As OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As OleDb.OleDbCommand
The code is not working. I get this error: "Could not find installable ISAM".
NB: The error occurs only if the database is password protected!For unprotected database, code works without error.

My code is:
CODE:
It works for a database without password. But for a database with password and the string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DBB.mdb;Jet OLDB:Database Password=xxx"
I get an error:"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Where wrong?

i'm fairly new to VB and am doing my second system through it. I am at the point where i want to link a combobox on my form to my access database so that when i click the dropdown arrow a list of surnames from the particular table in my access database appears.
[Code]...
First things first is this code remotely close to doing what i want it to do? I have to use an access database and i am familiar with this particular method of connecting to the database (sending any data to it is easy now). Secondly when the form opens (since the sub is called at load) i get the annoying old "object reference not set to an instance of an object" message.

we know that in Visual Studio, you can open a different kind of database: like: Access, SQL server or file, Oracle. is there any reference that you'v know on how to make that kind of program? i don't know where to start.

I have a VB.NET application and I need it to be able to display rows from a MySQL database. How would I do this?
Update: Another thing that I could do is have the app get a PHP page from the site that shows the DB, and gets the page every 10 seconds or so.

I have a VB.net program connecting to an Access database. I use ADODB as connection (force of habit, I suppose). The program runs fine on all my machines, but on some of the client machines I get an error on the connection to Access. It is intermittent (sometimes runs without any problems) and happens at different places in the code, but always at the connection with the database. The program connects and closes connections quite a few times during a calculation.

just a few questions. I have read through a of tutorials and snippets on access database.Connecting, updating, inserting, deleting, etc. My main question is this, I have not yet coded the connection to a database using code such as you all. I have always used the wizard to create my connection, table and view this also add the database to the project. Is it better to code the connection, or use the wizard? I have just started creating a program to feed company keep track of there inventory, right now I have 2 tables (feed, misc) both table contain the same things (code, description, price, and quantity). Any way I am getting off the subject, Write the code to connect to the database or use the wizard?

I friend and I are trying to work our way through this, and right are having some issues in terms of getting vb.net to connect to an online sql server. We have found lots of resources to connect to local sql servers but nothing about connecting to an online one. I was wondering if this is possible as we are trying to be build an inventory and pos system for a small company we have, which can be accessed through the vb program from any computer as long as it has an active web connection.

I have created an SQL Server 2012 database using the Server Managment studio and I want to connect to in in VB2010. When I run the connection wizard and locate the .mdf file it always tells me that the file is in use and to close any programs that have it open.
However VB is the only program I have open so I am not sure why it is telling me this order how to overcome it.I have tried creating a different database the same way to see if that help but it doesnt.
Is there something I might be missing in the creation of my SQL db that might be causing it?

i am building my first VB.net application with a connection to an Access database. Now, this works fine when I debug, however when I deploy the application I get the error saying "Could not find file", which I assume means i have got one of the publishing settings wrong? I don't think it is a code error because it works when I debug, but if anyone wants to see part of it please let me know.
