View 3 RepliesI have been reading books and the forums for a rew days now trying to work out how to use any control to carry out the following:Basically, I want to display a selection e.g "Club Name" in a combobox (or similar control) and have the ID of that selection in a separate hidden column e.g. "ClubID". This will allow me to easily reference and store the actual "ClubID" in the required record when I save it back to the database.I can not use the "SelectedIndex" property of the control as the combobox is populated from a 'sorted' stored procedure so the "SelectedIndex" does not match the actual index of the selection.
I have found lots of posts saying use the "ListView" control, but none of them actually show examples of how to bind the control to a data control to acheive what I need.What I am after is a turorial showing ADO code (because I want to hard code this to get a better understanding of how it all works) binding a multi-column control to a SQL database.
I am a developing an application based on VB 2008 express and a MYSQL database.I have created a database called octupus_db and inside it there is a table called customers.I now have a combo box on my form and i want it to populate its contents from field called town inside the customers table.

View 2 RepliesI am trying seek by looping thru a table for the closest match to a search item.
The following code works to a degree. It gets me within say 20 records of the target. I think it works somewhat but it may not be at all.
Code:
Private Sub Find_Item_In_Column(ByVal Search_Field As String)
'Pass a field name to do a string search on
Dim Find_Item As String = InputBox("Enter an Image File Name")
[Code]....
I used the data wizard to establish the connection and I am using VB 2008 Express.
In this case the data field will be a file name and it will be unique. Since the search for string will be a partial of what a file name might be. My expectation is that INCR will match the data row and can then be used to position the TrainImageBindingSource. So far it gets me close, but I am wondering if it is really working at all. I would like to arrive at the closest match (up or down one) found.
Can any one see any glaring errors or point me to an example(s) of similar code snippets?

View 7 RepliesWould it be possible to search a table, confining to a specific date range based on a date-time column, and get a count of the 10 most used words in a particular var-char column excluding a list of words?All in SQL?Currently I am pulling out the records that match and sorting through the contents outside of SQL, I would think where I can do it directly on the server it would be more efficient.(SQL 2008)

I have a DataGridView on a form in VB.NET, that is being populated from a SQL table dataset by giving criteria from a previous form. I have 6 columns in the dataset, of which the last column should be combo box column containing items "Done" and "Pending". How do I make this bound column to a combo box column and display the value as well as the alternate item too in the combo box?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to bind data to a combo box but it does not appear to be working. I've setup the DataSet and the DataSetBindingSource and all this appears to be working, within the form design I can expand the little arrow in the ComboBox control and preview the data. This appears to be working but when the application is run, nothing appears in the drop down box.
I have the following code in place:
Code:
cmbSelectCompany.DataSource = ContactsDBDataSet.Company()
cmbSelectCompany.DisplayMember = "CompanyName"
cmbSelectCompany.ValueMember = "CompanyName"

I'm fairly new to visual basic and have a problem that is probably quite easy to solve yet I have been unable to do it so far and am about at wits end.I have an access database with a table that contains a list of cities and states. what i would like to do is to populate a combo box on a vb form with a list of the states in the states column. the query that i have is as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT State from Cities I have previewed the data in the dataset designer and it works, i just can't figure out how to make it fill the combo box. i initially created a table with just all of the states and then used a binding source and table adapter to bind it to the combo box, but if I'm able to figure this out this would help with my application going forward
i am new with visual studio 2008 and basic I have a combobox1 and combobox2 that are representing cities Combobox1 represents departure city and combobox2 destination city.Now i have a combobox3 that i want to load when i click it and run this sql query:
SELECT time_departure
FROM routes
WHERE (departure = Combobox1.value) AND (destination = Combobox2.value)
so when running the .exe of the application ,after selecting departure and destination ,when i click on the combobox3 ("hours") it will generate the results of the upper sql query as options to select.All i need is the code between this:Private Sub ComboBox3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox3.Click End Sub
In VS 2008, VB.Net, I am successful connecting to a local SQL Server (version 8) and seeing all tables/views/procedures in Server Explorer. The local OS is Win XP Pro SP3. I created an ODBC data source to a remote SQL server (also version 8) with a database of the same structure as the local one. The connection tests out ok. The remote computer runs Windows Server 2000 SP4. In the VS 2008 Server Explorer I add this ODBC source. When I click on the plus-signs to expand items, neither the tables nor the views show anything, whereas the full list of procedures appears. Is it the old SQL Server version? Is it the old Server OS version? Something else alltogether?
View 2 RepliesI am writing a school project in VB2005 and am trying to hook up a second combo box that gets its information of what to display from the first combo box. My application is where a student takes a "test" but they can choose what instructor they want in the first combo box. From there, they choose from a test of what each instructor offers in the second combo box. As of right now, my first combo box works great and my second combo box has nothing in it. Just a note, when I debug, it shows my iUserID value as 0.

Rather than running numerous queries in Access I am trying to write a front end for a DB2 database. The Access database is getting to a size that it is causing Access 2007 to have reliability issues and frequent compacting is required. I have created the Dataset, the Table Adaptors, and the Connection String already, but when I put in a bit of code in to fill the Table Adaptors the remote connection I have to work is going crazy (chewed up about 180MB before I realised it was pulling data from work).
Before I started the project I copied the .accdb to my local PC HDD and I pointed the connection string to it, but it still looks like it is trying to pull data from the work network. If it was a small database I wouldnt be concerned but it is pulling major data every time I run it. I have only 2 out of the 4 Table Adaptors running and it didnt fill them even after 10 minutes.
Here is the code I was trying to run... Server name has been substituted for Server for obvious work reasons.
Because the tables are so large I was looking for a way to pull only the columns I need to from the tables, I tried adding .SOFT_ID to the first line of code but the TA spat the dummy message below...
Value of type 'System.Data.DataColumn' cannot be converted to Application_Name.DS_DB2Database.Server_SOFTDataTable'.
Code:
Me.TA_ServerSOFT.Fill(Me.DS_DB2Database.ServerSOFT.SOFT_ID)
Me.TA_ServerSOFT_FOUND.Fill(Me.DS_DB2Database.ServerSOFT_FOUND)
Me.TA_ServerHARD.Fill(Me.DS_DB2Database.ServerHARD)
Me.TA_ServerREF_SUP.Fill(Me.DS_DB2Database.ServerREF_SUP)
I would also like to pull just the data columns I need to speed up the query.
Note: In case youre wondering why I am not connecting directly to the DB2 database. I currently dont know where it is stored and while leveraging Access I am trying to put a level of separation between the app and the db for the time being, later I will try connect directly.
I have a combobox. The data that it binds to should be:
AcctID AcctName
10 Main
11 Old
[code].....
I have:
- Table1 with columns: PK_ID1, LOCATION, DIRECTOR, SELLER, SELLERID, WORKTIME (relationship), WORKCODE
- Table2 with columns: PK_ID2, WORKCODE (relationship) & WORK_DESCRIPTION
My DataGridView do a SELECT * FROM Table1;How can I replace WORKCODE with WORK_DESCRIPTION in DataGridView, please?
I am getting the error "system.argumentException; Column ' test_id2' does not belong to table Table. At System.Data.GetDataColumn( string columnname0 at system.data.datarow.get_item(string columnName).
This error is occuring right after I set the parametervalues in the report object of the Crystal report.(Note this a visual basic.net 2005 windows form application.)
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument
Dim sql As String

The value for the first parameter @Parm_1d1 value to the crystal report version 11 is correct. However, when trying to access the second @Parm_1d2 parameter ,the values past to the crystal report is not correct.
I get a Syntax Error with the following code"ALTER TABLE receipts RENAME COLUMN payees TO payee"what I am doing wrong

View 4 RepliesFirst, I don't fully understand why VBA can have a multi column combobox but full VB doesn't? What purpose does it serve to only have a drop down list of text strings? I know there is an index property, but what if the items in the drop down can't logically be associated with an index value?
Anyways, here is my problem. I have an enumeration value that I want to add to a combobox. I have the code to go through and add the text of each enumeration value to a combobox. This is fine for enumerations whose values progress in order from 0-whatever. However, I have some enumerations whose values are, for example[code]...
