i have the following code that can create a DSN to SQL server programatically from vb.net
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form1
Private Declare Function SQLConfigDatasource Lib "ODBCCP32.DLL" (ByVal hwndParent As Integer, ByVal fRequest As Integer, ByVal lpszDriver As String, ByVal lpszAttributes As String) As Integer
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
I have developed a small ms-access based software with vb.net.
I've added auto-update capabilities to the software (mostly by using clickonce) to simplify the release of new features.
Every version of the software executes the update routine which may update also the existing database.Lately i've made few changes on the database structure adding few stored queries, so i want the autoupdate code to programmatically add these new queries to the existing database and make it perfectly up to date.
I haven't already found a solution to add stored queries to an ms-access database using odbc...I also tried to use the "CREATE PROC" sql statement but it does not seem to work with access databases, even if i create the query form the Microsoft Office Access front-end.I've found some examples that uses ADODB, but i'm using odbc to remain both x86 and x64 compliant.
I have a small vb.net application that fires a crystal report through crystal viewer.
The report uses an ODBC connection provided by 32-bit software accounts package, which is installed in the ODBC 32-bit This all works fine on 32-bit XP and 32-bit Win7 with no problems, When run on a win7 64-bit machine the application launches ok, but when it comes to running the report, it prompts for a database logon box for the odbc connection.
When the report is run seperate on its own, on the exact same pc through crystal reports desginer it runs fine, Its almost like the application is not picking the 32-bit ODBC set up is it the case that the connection needs to be coded rather than using the report connection,
i'm currently working on building a program that will take a MS Access database system produced by my company and create a VB.Net project with all the forms in it (obviously the code should be manually done, but to save time the forms and controls can be produced automatically).I have tried Googling and seem not to be able to find anything about this (which probably means I wasn't searching with the right keywords), I was wondering whether anyone knows any good resources on how to create the VB.Net project programmatically as I already know how to do all the access stuff.
I have a project working on at work, it involves creating an invoice for each client and attaching that invoice to an email and sending it out. I chose to use XML for the data manipulations. I could have easily gone with a access file or a sqlCe db, but that would cause my data to be in a proprietary format; this is what i am running from. Furthermore, I have no experience with XML data and i thought here would be a good place to start.
I am reading the data for the invoices from a text file that will always be in a specific format each time it is produce. Information from this text file is stored in a generic list of a Class name Invoice.
The area where i am having the problem is where after collecting the data i now need to save it in an XML format. here is what i have so for
'Filename: cInvoice 'Written by: Curtis Jackson 'Written on: May 20, 2009
[Code]....
you see where i have function "writeNewInvoiceData" this is where i am stucked. I just don't know how to create this XML file.
I have an unbound DataGridView control where I have defined the columns at design time.Currently to add a new row I use a like this:
gridname.row.add(value1, value2, value3, value4)
This offends my sense of good programming because if I add a column to the grid or change the order of the columns then I need to alter the line above. What I want to do is to create a new datagridviewrow complete with columns and then populate the values like so:
Just like I do when editing an existing row in the grid.I thought I could do the following:
Dim dr as New DataGridViewRow dr = MyGrid.RowTemplate
I thought this would give me a new row complete with cells but no values. Appartently this is the wrong property. Is there a property that will give me a blank row, but with the cell names/types that have already been defined in the grid defined in the row?Yes, I know I can take an existing row and just clear the values but when this program load, there are not always existing rows.don't tell me I am going to have to add the columns myself. dr.cell.add(cell definition)
In visual basic how do you create a DataGridView Programmatically,for example i want to display 5 columns from my items table in sql server to a datagridview i just created ..
I have the following code that attempts to create a picturebox at a set of coordinates, then move to another set of coordinates and create another one. I have two questions, first, how do you programmatically create each picturebox with a different name than the last one. I've attempted to address this in my code but not sure if it's right. Second, I'm getting an error when running the code: "controls created on one thread cannot be parented to a control on another thread" - how do i get around this?
I am generating tables and writing them to word on the fly. I do not know how many tables there will be each time i write the data to word and the problem I am having is the second table is written inside the first cell of my first table. If there was a third table it is put inside the first cell of my second table.Is there a way to move the cursor out of the table? I have tried creating a new range with each table also but the same thing happens.I have also tried things like tbl.Range.InsertParagraphAfter()The closest I came was using the Relocate method, but this only worked for two tables.
I have a panel that is a set size and has its Autoscroll property set to True.I am parsing text files and then adding them to the panel. I'm extracting specific lines and then adding them to labels and text boxes that are in the panel.When my app runs, it can parse anywhere from 0-10 files at a time.If there are no files to parse, I don't want any controls in the panel. I'll be creating the controls based on how many text files I have. For each text file, I'll have 3 controls.
I'll count the text files before I parse them, and insert the controls into the panel.The problem is that I don't know how to place the controls based on the location of the panel/form. I know the panel will always have a permanent spot, but I won't know if the location parameters of the panel have changed because I won't know how many controls there will be before the app parses the files.
However, I will know the size of the controls that I'm inserting.So, with all of that, is there a way to insert the controls inside of the panel, and then based on that information, insert the others?
I'm trying to write an application that will allow a non-administrator user to create virtual directories in IIS6. I've tried numerous different ways of impersonating a administrative account but nothing seems to work to create the virtual directory.
Here's some of what I've tried: dim sDirPath as string = "IIS://remotehost/W3svc/1/root" Dim de As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry() de.Path = sDirPath de.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure de.Username = tbxUsername.Text [Code] .....
what is the correct way to impersonate another user in winforms application that will allow me to create the virtual directory without the user that's running the application being an administrator on the web server? I know this can be done, IIS manager allows you to use "connect as" checkbox to do it.
i am new to vb .net i just want to ask why is it i don't see the odbc data adapter in the toolbox pane? i just have (under data) pointer, dataset, datagridview, bindingsource, and binding navigator.
I am getting the following ODBC exception when I moved my development platform from Windows XP X86 to Windows 7 X64: ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application What I'm sure it means is that the server it is connecting to is 32 bit, and the computer I'm running on is 64 bit and the ODBC driver in use is 64 bit.
The application I am writing is set to run in 32 bit mode because some of the third-party software that we employ is not 64 bit compatible. I tried downloading a 32 bit driver and changing the DSN but it did not fix my issue. I still get the exception. If anyone has any links for 32 bit SQL drivers, or how I could fix this by changing the project around, I'm all ears.
I just want to know how to create a prepared statement in VB. I know in java one would use ? and these would get replaced. I am aware that in VB you use @ParameterName. Basically my code gets down to where i use the prepare method and the error i get is that my syntax for my insert is incorrect. To me it seems that the parameter is not getting substituted in the insert statement
Eg.
Dim cmd As String = "insert into sites(id) values(@id)" Dim odcmd As New OdbcCommand odcmd.CommandText = cmd[code].......

how to connect to database using ODBC, where in connection string i will provide only DSN name. User id and Password should be entered dynamically. Like if i want to connect to SQL Server, I will provide dsn name, User id and password shud be entered dynamically. Already there is a form in SQL Server for Logging in, want to connect to tat?
I want to create ODBC DSN for a database (which will be included in my application folder whenever a user setups the application). I want to know how to create ODBC with all the required parameters so that the first thing that is done when the setup is being run is connecting the database to the application. I have tried using default VB.NET setup wizard and Installshield.

I'm trying to connect to a database and keep the connection open for any amount of user activity/queries within the database. Currently I have a connection that opens and closes for any query (save, update, etc...) which requires the logon process to the back-end every time the user saves etc... Is there a way to simply connect and leave the connection open so there won't be a lag time when running the query due to the logon process? This is what I'm using:
I am trying to coonect to Oracle 10g database through ASP using ODBC connection. The connection string used is con.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};SERVER=xxxx;UID=xxxxx;PWD=xxxxx".
