How to direct put (without someone key in) the data into the database with VB? The data will automatically generated by the program..

Hoping for some advice, probably an easy question for most people on here but I'm a mere learner. Basically, what would generally be the reason for using a Data Set via adapter rather than just connecting to the database directly using an SQL connection?

I have an Access database with a table called Events.I created a new VB.net 2008 project and created a MicrosoftReportViewer control. I also added a "Report" component (which created a .rdlc file).I am easily able to drag things from my Access database I added to the data sources onto the report. However, one part of the report I would like to add data to a Matrix that I calculated with VB (ie it is not in the database). The database has a list of names and a bunch of times associated with each name. and then I calculate some fancy stuff based on those times. I would like the matrix to be a list of names (from the database) on the rows, a list of dates (which I specify in the code) on the columns, and the data of the matrix I also calculate.
View 3 RepliesI would like to return the data in a database query as an array, but the problem is, Im having trouble working out how to do it, here is how I would like the data to be returned:

I could create a multi dimentional array, but the results could range from 2 rows, to 2000 rows, I looked into redim, but you can only redim the last dimention, I would need to the first and second, but not the last.
Ive got a web page so that the users select a day from the calendar and the date is input to a text box, the format is dd/mm/yyyy, it is the same format in the database table.
I want to select the data from the database when it is = the date in the text box but it is retrieving data in mm/dd/yyyy format. My sql is:
SELECT Booking.Date, Booking.RoomNo, Booking.Lesson, [NoComps] - " & students & " AS diff FROM Rooms INNER JOIN Booking ON Rooms.RoomNo = Booking.RoomNo WHERE booking.Date= #" & txtdate.Text & "# AND booking.Lesson = '" & lessonlist.SelectedValue & "' AND booking.Type IS NULL
how can i make sure it retrieves the data using the correct date format?

I was wondering which way would be the easiest in VS2005 to connect to and pull data from a MS SQL database. I have already setup the database connection by choosing the datasource for a DataGridView but I'm not able to retreive any information.
The steps I have taken so far:
1. Make new form
2. Drag and drop DataGridView onto the form
3. Setup the data source and respective username password
Not sure where to go from here....

View 4 RepliesI need to extract specific data from a database. With starting point in this data, I will collect information on the internet. After the information is collected I need to check if this information is already stored in the database, and if not, then add it. This action is being repeated about 500-50000 times each time the procedure is being executed. (not often)
The approach I'm taking seemes sleazy and ineffecient and I was hoping you could point out some places where I might be able to optimize it. I've two open connections at the same time. The first I use to extract data, and it stays open throughout the whole session. The second connection is being used first to check if an entry already exist and if not, to add the data.
The reason I am using two connections is due to the fact that I got a reader bound to the first one, so it is rendered unavailable.
I was thinking that maybe checking if the data existed, and adding it if not, maybe could be contracted into one command execution instead of two. I don't know if it would be possible to do this with one connection only as well, as it seemes more proper.
I recently made a database that saves user information into a MS Access database from a form.

Now when they go to the next form, I have labels such as lblFirstName, lblSurName ect. I want to display the information that the user has inputted into these labels. How can I fetch data saved into the database and display it onto these labels? and how can I select rows?

I've been staring at this and can't seem to come up with a solution. I've tried several different methods that i found on the web but to no avail.

I'm making a VB.NET application with an SQL Server 2005 in the background. Naturally the user can not edit the database directly but will use a number of UI features to be able to add and modify the data.However, there are a few tables that should be easily accessible from the admin interface such as specific information about a vendor. What's the easiest way to let the user edit this data freely? One way would be to use a DataGridView but this could appear complicated to the user, plus I'm not sure exactly when to save the edited data back to the database.
The best way that I can think of is to create custom dialog boxes for adding, deleting and changing the information, but this seems like too much work for such a small feature.

I should mention that the DataTable contains data resulted by an SQL SELECT query and it's not related to the "targeted" Access Database Table.
Ive been learning to use visual basic doing this and i know the code needs clearing up but i made an app that is storring values in an mdf mysql datatable. I made the app so you will direct it to a database through a menu where you select the file.. This works allright on my machine but..When i put it on another machine with .net 4.0 installed it still complains about Mysql problems..So im guessing theres a part missing. Is there something i need to install on the other computer using my app?.
If so what?. Maybe theres another way i can connect to a database without haveing to install stuff on other computers to make it work?.

I am creating a reporting app that pulls information off of a Sql database and populates the data in a datagridview control (DVG). I am using tab pages (Tabcontrol), and I have about 10 tabs with within the control. What I have done is created a dynamic control that will populate in each tab page once the tab is selected. I am using a split container and in my split container.panel 1 is where all my buttons and search functionality will be. In my split container.panel2 to is where the main DGV control will be. I have got this to function properly, however now I am unable to add anything to my split container.panel1. I would like to add diffrent labels and buttons in the panel1 one without putting another panel on top of the split container.panel1, and also if i do this when I resize my container the panel will just sit there. I am using the selected index changed event to get my split container to show in each of the diffrent tabs

I'm faced with a (fun, actually) data mining problem; I have raw ASCII files from instruments, and I want to move that data (~400 GB) into a database, then be able to run various algorithms determining correlations of time series, etc. I would like to write the mining algorithms in Visual Basic (.net, VS 2010 right now), and be able to do visualizations with VB code I have in hand.On the nature of the data: think of a set of several thousand devices, each recording a measurement at a given interval - so I'm talking time-series vectors. It's not more complex than that - though I may have vectors with holes, etc. - not sure what problems of that sort lurk in the data.I spent today re-acquainting myself with VB.NET's interface to (in one case) a Microsoft Access database. What used to be fairly simple - DAO I think it was - involved tables, recordsets, etc (and that would likely be fine). Now I seem to be required to have a weird variety of generally useless objects, e.g. 'adapters', 'datasets', etc. The problem is that I know exactly what I need, and all this extraneous stuff just gets in the way (certainly in coding complexity and opaqueness, and likely in efficiency as well). If any of these mechanisms gave me a kind of virtual access to the entire dataset, and let me control caching parameters, etc.it might be great, but I found nothing along those lines. It seems like useless bloat, though I suppose it must be useful to someone.Anyway, I tried a number of different approaches, and none seemed at all aimed at what I need to do: efficiently do math on a large dataset. I can't believe I'm the first to have this problem, but I can find no useful wisdom out there. I'd be comfortable with pretty much any underlying database mechanism: MySQL, SQL Server, MS Access, but ideally something generally SQL based (I may eventually have to transition this entire system to draw from a client's SQL database, though that's not an overriding concern now). Other than that I want simplicity and efficiency. I thought my old ODBC techniques would work, and to some extent they do, though modifying tables seemed to have bizarre problems (no errors, but not modifications either).
I do have a fairly aggressive deadline to show some algorithm results, so my focus in the short term is to get something reasonable working *in* the short term - in other words, it's less important to me to pick the 'fastest' relational database than it is to pick a database that lets me focus on coding the algorithms, not working through tedious data access coding. If this db could be any smaller, I'd have tried to do it all 'in memory' at least for proving concepts; I don't want to have to learn an entire jargon and approach just to be able to retrieve data points.Perhaps I'll need to bite the bullet and just write something myself, a .dll perhaps just to save and restore large time series vectors. It seems a bit frightening to me that one would have to do this in this age, what with all the database systems out there, but I don't have much time to work through arcane interface logic.

I connected to the Informix server using RazorSQL, created a stored procedure and tested it, getting the expected answer, so the procedure exists in the database in some form.
I then run the following code:

cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

This error does not occur when calling the stored procedure from a live SQL connection.

View 2 RepliesI want to move my programs and the database to another computer and hard-disks. It looks to me as though I nearly have to re-create the controls and rewrite some of the code to make it so the programs still work after the move. At least with ODBC all I would change was the DSN definitions external to the programs. Is there an easy way to move or rename a database without loads of work?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to copy a table from a network database to a local database. I used DAO and could check if the network table existed using a function that tried to assign a TableDef object to the table in question. If there was no error then I assumed that the table existed and the function returned true...Or it would error out and return false.I could then proceed with the copy or not as the case may be.I am converting the code to ADO.net and need to know how to check for a table.

View 1 RepliesRecently working in vb 2010 express. I'm using service-based database which is based on SQL Server. This database will be deployed at the server.

Does the service-based database support multiple connections?
View 1 RepliesI 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?
