What SQL Server data type should be used to store RichTextBox text? The reason I ask is because the BOL indicates not to use text or ntext anymore because these data types will be excluded from future versions of SQL Server.

I have connected my database to visual basic.I have a form1 which allows me to scroll through all the data in my database (i.e. the name, account no, address etc)My form2 contains a calculation involving payments which involve the previous account.My form3 needs to contain this calculation PLUS the database information in a RichTextBox. My question is how do I include my DB info in a RichTextBox? (i.e how do I pass the information from form1 onto form3)
View 4 RepliesI am very new to programming so let me apologize for that upfront.I am using Visual Studio 2008 and have created a windows application form. I have the form connected to an MS Access database named vendors.accdb. I have added a DataGridView to my form named VendorsDataGridView. I have also added a RichTextBox to my form named RichTextBox1.[code]I have my form setup to run queries that compare like items from different vendors and display them in the VendorsDataGridView.what I need the form to do is when I doubleclick on a particular row (in the VendorsDataGridView) I need it to copy to the RichTextBox1 and go down to the next line so I can add more rows from different queries.I need to understand what goes between the Private Sub and End Sub of this:[code]I could use a textbox instead of a richtextbox if need be.I have searched high and low for the answer to this. I have tried a variety of things but none have worked. I have been reading different books to try and understand Visual Basic code better but I am too new to programming to get the doubleclick event to work.

I need to store data in a grid like this:
{0,1,2,3}
{4,5,6,7}
{8,9,10,11}
{12,13,14,15}
I know I can use multi dimensional arrays, but Is there any easier way to do it? Also I need to get values from it like myData.Item(0,1) would return 1.
I've linked the two using the standard data sourcing method and I now need to use the data that is read in to it on another form. The idea of this is that I'm creating a wage calculator and the employees are stored in a database and can be viewed on a vb form, however, I now need to use the data of their pay/hr to be used on another form to calculate the wage.I have tried to declare a public variable across the two separate forms, and on the button that takes you to the other to set this variable as the contents of the text box which is displaying the pay/hr using the following
Public Class ManageUsers
Public HrlyRate As Decimal 'Declaring global variable to use between forms
'Some other code in between relating to rest of the stuff on the form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
RatePerHourTextBox.Text = HrlyRate 'Saving private variable to global variable
Calculation.Show()
End Sub
End Class
Then on the other form I have used this code to do the calculation:
Public Class Calculation
Private Sub calculation_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

I'm having trouble trying to put together some code for an array. What I'm trying to do is get data entered from a text box and store it in an array.What I then need to do is take the entered data and make it appear in reverse order to what it's been entered and show this.

I'm trying to learn visual basic and i've made my application all work and now I just need to make the listview save data.As far as I know, I can create a database with all the relavent tables in it for each column in the listview. For example in a database, I will have a table that will have four columns because I have a four column listview. Each row must be tied together though.
The other option is to create a text file and use some xml or seperate them with commas. which one should I go with? I'd rather do the database one, but I really have no idea how to go about it.

View 3 RepliesI have a question. I have a asp site that keeps track of inventory. I currently have it as to where any updates to the inventory, an email is sent with the new changes. How can I get it to send the old changes and the new changes. I know I will need to somehow temp store the old values to use them in the email, but I can't figure out how to do it. I don't want to store them in an actual database table.
View 1 Repliesis there any way to keep data stored in an application retrieved from web references like we get data [items] invoked in a listbox from web references and then after publishing it when once exe. is run the data is invoked or retrieved from web references. so that when next time once again exe. is run the retrieved data will be there instead of waiting services to get data.
View 13 RepliesI am making a small tool that require some calculation. I am using hashtable to store values that I need to calculate. This tool continuously extract data on specific time interval(30 seconds) from webpage and add those data into the hashtable. Now the problem is I need to store the previous extraction data and when new extraction occurs, I need to deduct the previous data from new data.

On first run it shows the result of Data3 = 100 which is currect. But on second run I need to redefine the value of Data2 = Data1 . So I need a result of Data3 = 0 on second run. This may not be the proper way to do this sort of operation. I have also tried using listbox, listview and even textfile to store the Data2 and recall that on second run. But could not make it possible.
This is the last phase of my tool and I am stuck with it.
I've been searching around these forums for quite a while now, and can't seem to either understand or find what I'm looking for.I have a text file, that my program is always adding to it, it's format is like so:

I basically need to hold a lot of data - the structure is that of a five dimensional array holding integers.What would be the most efficient way of storing this in a file (I was thinking of XML - your opinion?) that would also be quick to extract.

Type of animal | Color | Age
Cat, Brown, 15
Dog, Pink, 6
Fish, Orange, 4

I only want to compare the type of the animal and the color and age is irrelevant.I want it to let me know whats missing and what's been added.Sounds bizarre but yeah. It doesn't need to be arrays, it's the only thing i know of though.

Then they play my blackjack game, they gain 25,025 points when they start automatically from their Tetris game, they earn 25 points in blackjack click a save score button, now they have 25,050. [Thus far I have 2 games, and they both share a score that will need to be added to in the future]

There are "text" files, there are databases, I used to use a record (now called a structure) in a ".dat" file, but I'm having trouble finding documentation support in vs2010. So I'm thinking maybe it's time to move up to ... ? databases? ".txt"s? The current app I'm trying to write will only have a couple of hundred "records" at the very most; Old vb6 command like LenB which would return the size of a file in bytes is no longer, and I can't find how len( .."as byte" of file) would actually be implemented. len( <filename>, as byte) isn't the correct syntax - what is?
Is there some thing less dramatic than a full blown database? Or getting used to how a database uses SQL and all that goes along with that shoud be something to get handy with?
I'm working on a project at the moment, where all the data being loaded is kept in an XML file which until now have been rather clean with structures such as

View 1 RepliesI am trying to store 8 separate pieces of information in a text file (like a database) [but not a SQL database], consisting of integers and strings. How would I use an array to do this? Will an array collect data from text boxes (I also want to display the 8 pieces of information in separate boxes). also how would I save the text file so I can open it again or open a different text file (database?), from within the program?
EDIT: I see I need to use readline and writeline to read/write from a text file but how would I find specific data to show in my boxes?
I will need to store 3 tables of data. Instead of implementing an entire database backend, I just want to store the record for these tables in application.settings.I don't care about security.
