I'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 (VB.NEt). I've created a project which
connects to a Microsoft Access Database (OLEDB) & displays the records using textboxes in the windows app.
I need to add a button which exports the database to a fixed length text file. Does anyone know the code I would use to do this?
I'm using OLEDB to connect to an MSAccess database and would like to know which is the correct syntax to get a value from the database and store it into a variable. I'm using the following syntax but it is not working: getStock = "SELECT Stock INTO " & stkActual & " FROM PECAS WHERE PECA_ID = " & Val(Me.PECA_IDTextBox.Text)

I want to compress an ms access database using vb.net. If the database is open this fails. How can I close the database, compress it, then reopen the database using vb.net code to accomplish this. I've already successfully written the code for compression, but I can't find anything on closing the database while leaving ms access open.
View 2 RepliesSitll teaching myself how database and all that works. Need someone to make this easy program for me so i can study it better. Here. Here's what im looking for: Load Database from Text File - read a file called stationsin.csv and add the records to the database pupulating the stationID, station name and the state fields,clear Database - delete all records from the database .Load Listbox from Database - clear and populate the listbox from the database.Listbox click event - populate the labels with the data from the database for that specific location.
Create a class called dbUpdt with the following functions: Constructor - accepts the file name of the database and stores it in a class variable. Opens the database and connection. Query - accepts an SQL command and executes it.MoreRecords - returns a boolean variable indicating if there are more records left in the dataset getField - accepts the name of the field and return the contents of the field from the current record close - closes the connection deleteAll - deletes all records in the database addRecord - accepts the table name, the key field name and the key field contents and adds a record to the database with just the key field filled in. setDBField - accepts the table name, the key field name, the key field contents, the field to be updated along with the field's contents and updates a single field within a single record.
I am trying to import a text file to an access database in VB2008 express. The text file I am testing with is a csv file with 34,000 records. The problem is this takes 2 minutes to read through all this and write it to the database. The actual text file I will be using in production has over 800,000 records and this will take a ridiculous amount of time. I think I am doing something wrong. I have posted my code below. I am reading a record, parsing out the fields to an array, then creating an SQL statement to insert the record and executing it.
reader = New IO.StreamReader(fname)
Do While reader.Peek() >= 0
linesread = linesread + 1

Those who are looking for an example like this, might find it useful (or not). I know i was looking for one like this for over a week. Ok now, to make this codes work properly, you have to make a Database in Ms Access (I used MS Access 2007) . Create a table of two Columns, one name Debit and one name Credit. Both of the Columns Data Types must be Long Integers or you might get some conversion errors at run time. Now save the database in Access 2000-2003 Database format. And last of all, put the database in your projects DebugBin directory to avoid the database Connection Errors.

View 2 RepliesI am using asp.net oledb to export information to excel file. I encounter problems when the information to export becomes too big, in this case the code I have given below, the excel file generated becomes an empty spreadsheet.If I changed the loop to 1123 for insertion of the rows. The generated excel file is fine, 1125 rows, and 4 columns shown.A test program in windows form is also working fine regardless of how many rows.[code]I couldn't find a solution to my problem as well. What I did eventually was to run the process using another separate windows service. The code works perfectly fine running from a windows form or service program, but not asp.net, not sure why.

View 2 RepliesI have a database app where on a button click, I export the current record to crystal report which in turns converts it to a PDF file. Upon application startup, I export one record into PDF just fine but when I move ahead to the next record and I click the export button, the new PDF file that was exported is now blank. If I restart the app, I can then export the one record again but any subsequent record will export to PDF as a blank PDF file.
To sum up:I can export one record once using the below code snippet but when I try it for a second time on another record, I get a blank PDF file (only the crystal report formatting is in the PDF).

I'm trying to insert and update from a table in MSAccess I've declared everything: Connection, DataAdapter and Commands.I didn't use the Command Builder instead I supplied my own Queries.My problem is if I add three rows to my table all the three rows in my database have the same values from the first row. It seems like the parameters are stuck on the values from the first row. [code] I'm using a DataTable with my DataAdapter since I'm dealing with a single table.I'm filling the table with a parametrized query, and updating it with the same dataadapter.I'm adding rows to my datatable and manipulating the table through code. I know that my data is there and every row has it's own values, I can see them when I debug my program.
View 1 RepliesI have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?

Is there a way to handle quotes with a field in text tab delimited file example:"This program works "really" nicely and is helpful" my reading and understand thus far is that while the file is tab delimited fields can also begin and end with quotes. Therefore is a field contains a quote it gets interpreted as end of field.[code]

I have a variable (double) that is constantly update in real time with data from an analog input. I would like to write this data as it comes in to a txt file. When I stop my acquisition of data from my analog input, I should have a txt file with all that data stored on my computer wherever I want it. The way I'd like that txt file to be laid out is like so:
Test Title: "This info comes from a string variable"
Operator Name: "This info comes from another string variable"
Test Date: "This info comes from yet another string variable"
[code].....
And so forth. As you can see I would also like to write the time for each data. This depends on my Timer interval which the user can set. The default is 50ms. So by default, y1 y2 y3 would be 0, 50, 100. How would I generate such a text file?
PS: I have five variables (X, Y, strTitle, strName, strDate)
How can I create a dialogbox, I think that will allow user to open or to save as a textfile?
