DB/Reporting :: Data Updating Errors With .mdf File?
Feb 21, 2009
I am writing a simple app using Visual Basic 2008 Pro, and SQL Server 2005 as the backend. However, I copied the database file (.mdf) from another computer onto my laptop. I added it as a Data Source by having the Data Provider as "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" and have it attach the file to the local SQL server. However, it isn't set to copy the database to the output directory every time the program is run for debugging, as I thought that would save time.
Now however, the data update to the database are very wierd. I run the program, add some new data, save it, and it returns the new primary keys properly (that is, it turns from -1 to 4 or 5 or whatever, indicating that the data has been saved). When I close and re-run the application to check that the data has indeed been saved, it reflects the changes and shows me the new data. However, when the program is run again after some time, the changes I made are gone. I'm assuming this is due to some wierd way in which VB is updating the database that temporarily updates its cached or copied database, but doesn't actually change the real database. How do I fix this? I had previously done the same project on another computer, except there the data source was directly the local SQL server, and I had created the database directly on the server through Visual Studio itself, and I didn't face those problems then. Is there any way to manually attach the SQL Server database file (.mdf) to the local SQL server instance permanently, and change the app to use the attached database instead?

Using Access I created a few Data Access Pages. These web pages, once opened, work fine to manipulate data as intended, but they keep generating annoying warning messages.There are two messages that pop up every time the web page is accessed. Before the page opens the first message that pops up states: "This website uses a data provider that may be unsafe. If you trust the website, click OK, otherwise click cancel."After pressing OK on the first, the second message pops up and states:"This website is using your identity to access a data source. If you trust the website, click OK, otherwise click cancel."After pressing OK on both messages the page functionality works just fine.I've tried adding password protection to the database and even signing the project with a digital certificate, but I still get the warning messages. This would be fine except there are multiple end users for the access pages and I am trying to avoid the additional confusion this will create, especially since IT has restricted many of the users from editing the internet options.

I would like to know the best, or standard, way to accomplish real-time client updates in a small multi-user application using an access data table as a data source.Specifically, this application will be used by 3-4 people. It uses a datatable which is filled on form load and bound to a datagrid at design time. The datatable is stored on a shared drive. The data table on the shared drive is updated in two ways:
1) Users can update the datagrid which then updates the datatable on the shared drive via the data adapter's Update method.
2) A server application does some work on some text files, periodically updating the data table.
I need the clients to reflect the changes to the data table on the shared drive as closely to real-time as possible. I know that the data table stored in memory on the client is disconnected from the data table on the shared drive, so I must query again to get the updates.
1) Is there an alternvative model I can use which is connected, and which will automatically reflect the updates in the data table on the shared drive?
2) If not, what is the best way to check for changes in the data table (so I can know when to call the data adapter fill method)? I am planning to poll the drive for a change to the .mdb file, raise an event and then fill the data adapter when the event is triggered. I am using this method successfully now to check for changes to a text file in another application, and I know how to implement it?

I have a storedProcedure that populates a dataset, this dataset is then used for a dataSource for a third party grid control. This all works fine, however I am having real trouble in updating the dataSet with the most recent data from my database.Below is the code that I am using to populate the dataSet:

I am not sure how to update the dataSet with new data so that my grid control displays the most recent data. Could someone show me the code to do this?

I am having problems writing correct data to a file. I create a string of characters (approx 5000 bytes long). The string is a mixture of text characters and numbers converted to bytes. I then:
a) write the string to a readable text file
b) display the string contents to the console
c) write the string to a file - BDF.bin (I tried both IO.BinaryWriter and IO.StreamWriter but get the same error)
The byte pattern for the text readable file and the data displayed on the console match and for the most part , data bytes in the StreamWriter file are correct (first 4096 bytes are OK) but there are some extra bytes and some wrong bytes.Here is a comparison of byte patterns (hex values character written to the file) starting at byte 4096
Console: 45 44 52 31 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 90 01 00 00
Binary File: 45 44 52 31 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 C2 90 01 00
The byte patterns match, however in the binary file, there is an extra byte (C2).To display the console data, I read one character at a time from the string and display it using hex(asc(mid(string,i,1)))I view the binary data in the BDF.bin file using a hex editor program. I even tried 2 other hex editors and all showed the same byte info.

I am trying to display an error message in the edit section of a ASPxGridView when a user has tried to submit invalid data.I have been looking around and have found one blog that allows me to place an error message in red once it has filed validation by throwing a New InvalidOperationException.
I am using the rowUpdating method as described in the blog, but the exception forces my code to stop the code in visual studio (like you would at a break point) and displays the message. Once I click play again, the code carries on and the program continues. How do I stop the application from stopping once the exception has been called and carry on.

Whenever I setup a database connection, and then drag items from it onto my forms, I get errors! 102 of them to be precise.All I've done is create a data connection, add the datasource, created relationships and then dragged items ome. I've been working with databases for a while and have never had this problem when taking these steps.

I am attempting to modify DBaseIV files using ADO in .NET I am able to open and read the data with no problem but everything is showing as read only and there is no way (at least that I can find) to perform Updates/Inserts/Deletes to the underlying Database table.
There seems to be almost no documentation that I have been able to find dealing with DBASE files. I have found a few references that BDE (Bordland Database Engine) needs to be installed and used for changing DBASE database files. However, it appears that BDE must be purchased. I found one reference that indicated ADO Jet 3.5 would work but 4.0 would not. Then I found another that said 4.0 had been updated to include Update/Insert/delete SQL interfaces.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for being able to modify a DBASE IV database table using ADO (or some other method within .NET) It is currently not possible to change from DBASE to another database structure this may be coming in the next year or so but will still need to perform modification to DBASE files for the forseable future.

This may seem like a simple problem, but I am completely baffled. I am working on a timekeeping application using Visual Basic 2008 Express and Access 2000.
There are three tables being updated by three separate sub routines. Two work fine, one does not.
In trying to resolve the issue I test one field at a time. The test Access query and the code only reference the one field to change and two ID fields. The program runs but the field is not updated. The table has 42 fields to be updated when I get it working.
The Access query is:
--------------------
UPDATE tPPSummary SET W1MonHours = [@W1MonHours]
WHERE EmployeeID=[@EmployeeID] AND PPID=[@PPID];
[Code]....
When I pause the running program at the intRowsAffected it shows 1 record which is correct.
I am really out of options as tho where to go from here. There are no simple spelling errors in the parameters, there are no error messages and the sub runs to the end.

I am attempting to run an update query on a Microsoft Access Database File and am not having any luck with the update.

I am trying to update one table with results from another table as such:
Table A (field, type) : Table B
ID (key) Integer : ID (key) Integer
ParentID Integer : IssueID Integer
Number String : ParentID Integer
: Number String
I need to construct and UPDATE statement that does:
Sets B.IssueID = A.ID When B.ParentID = A.ParentID AND B.Number = A.Number AND B.IssueID = 0
Here is what I have so far but it is producing an SQL syntax error (missing operator)
sqlStr = "UPDATE B SET IssueID = A.id FROM B JOIN A ON (B.ParentID = A.ParentID AND B.Number = A.Number) WHERE B.IssueID = 0
I have also tried
sqlStr = "UPDATE B SET IssueID = A.id FROM B, A WHERE (B.ParentID = A.ParentID AND B.Number = A.Number AND B.IssueID = 0)

I am sorry to keep bothering you about this damn DataGridView control ... As you might have noticed I am having a hard time with the DataGridView control ... My latest problem has to do with updating the data base file (Access) through a DataGridView control .
Up to now I have managed to successfully edit an entry in the DataGridView control and moreover to successfully update the data base file itself .
The above form and its code work fine . The problem starts when I am trying to run the code of the Update button from another form .
You see , I have another form , through which I change the contents of some of the cells in the DataGridView control (back in Form1) . What I want next is to simply update the data base file itself , just like I was doing with the button in the first form , after I manually changed the cell in the DataGridView control .Thus , on the second form I have a button with this code :
Form1.Button1_Click(Nothing, Nothing) (of course the Click event is declared public)I have also tried :
Form1.Button1.PerformClick()
but still nothing ...Although Form2 successfully changes the cells back in Form1 , the data base file itself does not get updated ...If I manually press the Update button in Form1 I once again successfully update the data base file , but I want to do the whole thing by calling the Update button from Form2 .

I have an Access database that is updated directly in Access. I'm trying to write a program to 'monitor' the database, and have a DataGridView control showing the contents. When the program is first started, it shows the current data in the DB fine, however, I've been unable to get it to refresh with any updated data from the mdb file. I have a timer running on 5 second intervals, and if i clear the dataset, the DataGridView refreshes to empty.

My company is making thousands of products now, every one of them have several test report in excel files. I am thinking about putting all of them into a microsoft sql database,
1. Is it wise to do so? I think a sql database is a lot easier to manage.
2. Can I save or convert the excel file as one data in a table? How could I do it? I only see a image type for data type. Surely I expect to retrieve the excel file through ASP.Net website if necessary.oh, some additional info, every excel file is not big, but it contains pictures inside sometimes.

I have got problem when using the SQLCommandBuilder class. For me it throws an error saying that the select statement does not return any primary columns.... Which is weird becouse i am sure it does since the select statement is "SELECT * FROM MyTable" I am prety sure that selects everything including the primary column which is set to primary , realy i checked and doublechecked.
Secondly i tried to manually set the column(0) as primary by setting it's property bu no such luck of making it work.
I have these two functions in a class that i instanciate an object from in the main program:
Code:
Public Function GetDB(ByVal DBName As String) As Data.DataSetDim SQLAdapter As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter = Nothing
Try_SQLdataSet = Nothing
[CODE]...
This Functtion fills the dataset and returns it to my main program where i do lovely stuff with it. (Just as a side note this is a SCADA system and i always need the entire DB which is never bigger then just a few ( 6 ) entries so i must go for "*" ^^). Good part is, this works like a charm, i love it. Now i need to reset a few status bits etc and i assume with the update command. And that is where my joy starts to get stomped on a bit.... The code:
Code:
Public Function SetDB(ByVal dataTable As Data.DataSet, ByVal DBName As String) As BooleanDim SQLAdapter As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter = Nothing
Dim SQLCommandBuilder As SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder
[CODE]...
Now this would have been a great and small sollution to updating datasets with the server but obviously it doesn't work. There is that pesky error about my table having no primary key and I know it's lying it just want to annoy me :P. But seriously I am puzzeld why that error wont go away and i have exhausted all the tutorials i can find on this.

I'm trying to import a tab delimited file into a table.The issue is, SOMETIMES, the file will include an awkward record that has two "null values" and causes my program to throw a "unexpected end of file".For example, each record will have 20 fields. But the last record will have only two fields (two null values), and hence, unexpected EOF.
Currently I'm using a StreamReader. I've tried counting the lines and telling bcp to stop reading before the "phantom nulls", but StreamReader gets an incorrect count of lines due to the "phantom nulls".I've tried the following code to get rid of all bogus code (code borrowed off the net). But it just replaces the fields with empty spaces (I'd like the result of no line left behind).
Public Sub RemoveBlankRowsFromCVSFile2(ByVal filepath As String)
If filepath = DBNull.Value.ToString() Or filepath.Length = 0 Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("filepath")
If (File.Exists(filepath) = False) Then Throw New FileNotFoundException("Could not find CSV file.", filepath)
[code]....
I've tried using SSIS, but it encounters the EOF unexpected error.
