Connecting To Data In Objects?
Jan 23, 2008
I am currently working my way through a MSDN Walkthrough titled Connecting to Data in Objects, the link for this is
[URL]
I have worked up to the section Adding Code to Load Data into the Customer and Order Objects section with no problems, but the Public Class Form 1 code is throwing an error hilighted in italics as per below,
Private Sub LoadOrders(ByRef currentCustomer As Customer) Dim orderData As NorthwindDataSet.OrdersDataTable = _ OrdersTableAdapter1.GetDataByCustomerID(currentCustomer.CustomerID)
This is the Description returned from the error list,
Error 1
Description - Value of type 'ObjectBindingWalkthrough.NorthwindDataSet.OrdersRow' cannot be converted to 'ObjectBindingWalkthrough.NorthwindDataSet.OrdersDataTable'.
[code]....
In the walkthrough I also came across a problem under the heading Modifying the Query on the OrdersTableAdapter to Return Only Orders for the Desired Customer This SQL throws an error,
SELECT OrderID, CustomerID, EmployeeID, OrderDate,
RequiredDate, ShippedDate, ShipVia, Freight,
[code]....
But the following edit to the Where clause gets around the error, the @ symbol is removed,WHERE CustomerID = CustomerIDcould this be causing the problems I am having described above, or is this just an error.

Using con As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(cs)

I am a novice to programming and am working my way through one of the more popular books on VB in VS 2008 Pro. I am havng a probelm setting up to add dataset controls to a form. I can establish a connection to the data base (a dataset is created and I can preview the data), but the table adapters and binding sources are not being automatically added to the form by the IDE. This seems to be verified by the fact that I cannot drag and drop controls from the data source window to the form.

Which technology should I use for data access layer?What's the best way of connecting to a dynamic data source and binding the result to a grid?I'm writing a little web app that user can define connection string and table name (MS Sql Server) and the program will display values in that table inside a grid.We must use datasets (because of dynamic data source) and generate the query as a text command ("Select * From " + TableName).We don't have a model (data source is defined by user at run time) so we can not use EF.

I have been trying for several months (in my spare time) to write a vb.net (version 2010) program that connects to Excel (version 14) and imports numerical data.This data will be used later for engineering calculations.I have tried the Interop code which I have found on the internet with limited success and now I am trying the connection string method.I have found some examples of code, on the internet,that I have pieced together and can't get it to run.Below is that code.
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click[code].......
This is a screen image of the error I get when trying to run the program.

I am trying to familiarise my self with connecting to SQL and manipulating data and I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle I am trying to programmtically connect to a database and fill a data grid with a dataset.
The problem seems to be with the data provider my code is:
Dim strConnection As String = "Data Source=GARY-LAPTOPSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=OriginalFileLocations;Integrated Security=True;Provider=SQLOLEDB"
Dim cnnOriginalFileLo As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection

I was wondering which way would be the easiest in VS2005 to connect to and pull data from a MS SQL database. I have already setup the database connection by choosing the datasource for a DataGridView but I'm not able to retreive any information.
The steps I have taken so far:
1. Make new form
2. Drag and drop DataGridView onto the form
3. Setup the data source and respective username password
Not sure where to go from here....

So I will be writing a vb program that will need to connect to and display data from a SQL server in a list/dropdown menu. Eventually this program will be ported into a asp.net web app. For now it will be local.

I need to connect to an MySQL database in my VB.NET application (VB 2010 Express). When I attempt to use the Data Sources wizard to establish the connection, it does not provide an ODBC data source. I'm using Add New Data Source/Database/DataSet/New Connection which shows the Add Connection dialog. The only options it gives me for data sources are Access & SQL Server and the OLEDB data provider. It does not appear to give me the option of adding a new data source provider. Attached is an image of my current Change Data Source dialog. Where do I get the ODBC data source provider and how do I install it into Visual Studio?

I am a brand new user of MS Visual Basic 2005 Express and MS SQL Server 2005 Express. I have familiarized myself with both programs but have one extremely frustrating problem. Once I open SQL Server, I can not establish a database connection from Visual Basic using the Visual Basic Data Source Configuration Wizard (even if I close SQL Server). If I reboot and open Visual Basic first, I can then connect using the Visual Basic Data Source Configuration Wizard. But then I can not switch to SQL Server and open the database (even if I close Visual Basic). Again, I must reboot to open the database in SQL Server.I suspect there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed, but I can not find it?

I am in the processing of migrating from web services to WCF, and rather than trying to make old code work in WCF, I am just going to rebuild the services. As a part of this process, I have not figured out the best design to provide easy to consume services and also support future changes.

I want to compare two objects whose type may be diffrent.
For eg, I expects 'true' for comparing 1000.0(Decimal) with 1000(Double) . Similary, it should return true if I compare 10(string) and 10(double) .
I tried to compare using Object.Equals() , but it did NOT work.It return false if two objects have different data types.
Dim oldVal As Object ' assgin some value
Dim newVal As Object 'assgin some value
If Not Object.Equals(oldVal,newVal) Then

I'm confused with this piece of code listed below. This code calls the update method of the dataadapter object to save the changes made to the dataSETback to the database itself. What I don't understand about this code is that it creates an update command(cmdUpdate), insert command (cmdInsert) and delete command (cmdDelete). My understanding is that the update method saves the changes back to the database. So I don't understand why the author creates these additional commands.

I have a thought about using a Serializable Collection containing both data objects and also sub-collections as a low-grade database, meaning it's going to store data objects that are expected to be added to regularly and deleted from occasionally.

A quick question on caching dataset objects. How can I know if the data is changed in Sql when caching data? I don't want to specify time constraints but used a strategy where data is changed in sql and I have to refresh my cache?

lets say I have:
arecord.name = "A"
arecord.value = 15 ' a number of type "long"
'
I then
call records.add(arecord,arecord.name)
' so far, so good but lets look at the next record
arecord.name = "B"
arecord.value = "this is text" as opposed to a number of type "long"
'can I then
call records.add(arecord,arecord.name)

All my data objects implement an interface IFillable
Public Interface IFillable
Sub Fill(ByVal Datareader As Data.IDataReader)
End Interface
In the objects themselves you will typically see something like
Public Class Supplier
Implements IFillable
[Code]...
Now here is the tricky bit. Given that all my property names WILL ALWAYS match my database column names what I want to do is using reflection generate the fill method at compile time and infer the types and column names for the datareader.I am assuming I will need to structure this functionality as some sort of a tool/vs plugin? What I am looking for is guidance on the best way to go about this.
PS: BTW: Obviously I could easily do this using reflection at runtime but I dont want to take the performance hit for it (Although theoretically if I could cache the values somehow (static class?) it might not be too bad).

I have a VB project with a large number of data sources in the data sources window. While the datasets behave well, the objects constantly expanded themselves to show all the properties. This means a lot of scrolling to find one.
