DB/Reporting :: Changing TableAdapter CommandText At Runtime?
Nov 23, 2009
In my app (written in VS 2003) I use OleDbDataAdapter's to load data. I have some functions that enable be to change the OleDbDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText at run time, by adding a "WHERE" or "HAVING" section to the SQL command, or updating the "WHERE " or "HAVING" section. This way I have have generic load data functions. (load all invoices for Customer 123, load all invoices for the year 2009, or load all invoices for Customer 123 for the year 2009).
With the new VS 2008 TableAdapter, the TableAdaper.CommandCollection property is Protected. How can I edit the TableAdaper.CommandCollection(0).CommandText at run time?
I've created two forms of which two separate datasets/tableadapters were created by adding a datasource and dragging and dropping the fields onto my form.I was testing the program using a db that was located on my local drive. Well after publishing the app to the users machines, I noticed that the binded information was still being pulled from my local machine and not the database that the user is working off of.I've set the connection modifier properties for both tableadapters to Public, and I have written the following attempting to change the connection strings:
Private Sub btnSaveSettings_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveSettings.Click Dim pap As New frmPap My.Settings.dbLocation = txtSettings.Text
I'm trying to edit the CommandText for the Insert Command in a TableAdapter in the Designer in vb.net. Whenever I make changes to the CommandText, Visual Studio (2008) automagically changes the Parameters to a Collection consisting of one Parameter thatexisted before editing the Command, immersed in a sea of complete garbage Parameters, and then I either have to undo (unless this was the first thing I tried editing, in which case I have to close the Designer to discard changes and reopen it) or manuallychange ALL the Parameters back to something that isn't complete garbage.

I added an .xsd file to my project using the IDE After that, I right-clicked and chose Add->Query I chose a dummy connection and then >SQL statement->Update Then I changed the Query's modifier to public
Dim ta As New dsCC2000TableAdapters.UpdatesTableAdapter ta.UpdateQueryTest()
The problem is... I can't seem to modify the connnection object at runtime (by using ta.connection = XYZ) It doesn't show up on ta variable's intellisense!

I have a string qText with the text of a query in it, say qText = "select * from Data". how can I execute it to fill a TableAdapter I have in my form with the resulting data?
What I want to do is be able to active a query for my datagrid by clicking on a button. How would I do that? Would I create the query as part of my tableadapter???
Im writing a app using vb.net, which has multiple front ends e.g a windows service and a windows forms app. Ive got all my business logic and database stuff compiled into 1 project (producing a dll) then the different front ends as different projects calling the dll.
In the backend / dll project Im connecting to 2 databases using app.config to store the connection strings and DataSets / TableAdapters. This all works fine .... Until
When I deploy the windows app, it deploys the exe and the dll produced by the backend project. when its installed on a client PC, Im need to point the app at a different db server and therefore need to change the connectionstring, but its packaged up in the dll.
is there any way I can use a settings file within my windows app (therefore deployed with my windows app) where I can define the connectionstring, which onload gets passsed through into my dll, so the backend connects the correct database. I know how to pass standard settings through (strings etc) but the my.settings.connectionstrings seem to be readonly.
I started coding my first "real" stand-alone desktop application in VB 2008 Express. I was led into believing that using SQL Express Compact Edition was the thing to use for my database since it would reside on each PC (laptops) that I installed the program on. I created all my tables and about 6 forms and all was going well until I came to the point where I need to display a grid showing data from multiple tables using what i think is supposed to be a view. Now the problem is that CE doesnt allow views. Here are my questions:
1. Can I convert my CE database file into an SQL Server Express file? 2. Do I have to re-write all my forms that are using the database? I am planning on creating my SQL Server Express database with the same table names and the same field names, data types, etc.
I am not that good with sql/visual basic but I have a sql database hooked up to visual basic and I would like to know how to make a picture box change pictures. For example: in sql : picture= 0 in VB: if number = 0 then display.nopicture in sql: Picture = 1 in vb: if number = 1 then display.Picture01 This is for avatar use in my program.
i have a program i've made a while, and one of the users wants to be able to load his own images to the background instead of the plain grey that is there now. i've searched and searched, and basically can get this working
i just slapped that onto a button just to get it to work as i was experimenting. but that only works for a file of that name, on my computer, in that folder. what i'm looking to do is get it so a user can browse his own directories for images and upload them as the background on the form. and be able to save the settings as well. but so far i have only seen different ways to load preset images that you can load. if it's even possible? i'd assume that you'd use the openfiledialog command, but i'm not that well versed in vb as of yet.
I'm trying to change a forms title at runtime where it = my textbox's text. But I can't even get it to change to "test". When I try to google it, it comes up with vb6's .caption = "test". When I try to search it on the forum, it gives me a error message saying: "Error 502 Bad gateway"
I have a forms application and I have multiple localizations for it. I've figured out how to add a button to a form, to change the localization and then read all the labels/etc and change them to the other language.What I would want to do instead now is click a button and it changes to the other language the current form but also the entire application so that any other windows opened while the application is open open in that other language.[code]This is the code I use when a button is clicked on a form to change it to Hindi the current form. However I want to when the button is clicked, change application to continue to run on that localization instead for the remainder of the time it is open.[code]

How do I change my code so that it will change the Value of the My.Settings.* to what TextBox1.Text is

I have 2 Comboboxes on my Form which also has a DataGridView. One ComboBox is populated with Font Names and the other is populated with a range of Numbers (Font Sizes). On a button click I've added this code
I'm trying to make my datagrids datasource change when you select a particular item from a drop down menu but all I get is blank cells! any ideas? I don't think it is changing the colums property automatically either.
If chooseType.Text = "Add / Edit Players" Then updateDB.DataSource = PlayersBindingSource
I have a report viewer that i would like to display different data in depending on the report button that the user clicks. The data is stored in access databases.
