DB/Reporting :: Iterate Through The Datatables In A Dataset?
Oct 29, 2008
We are updating our SQL SERVER 2005 database to reflect the name of our new corporate masters and we need to change the values of the fields.
Once we do so, we will hit those fields with update queries, but right now, my group just needs a listing of the affected tables There are over 250 tables to search, is there a way to iterate through the tables?
I imagine I could search the datatables once I get them, so that part isn't a problem. I just need to know how to set up some code to peek in, record what needs to be changed, close it and move on to the next table.
I've done as much for a single table, but never a load like this.

I have the following code:
public sub PrettyRows()
dim ds as dataset = report.dataset1
dim GroupName as string = ""
[Code]....
The Protected Overrides Sub OnInit() is comparable to the load event in VB.NET.
I am utilizing this event to call my custom sub PrettyRows. This sub will iterate the rows in my dataset and change the first column in each row so that an entry only appears once, This is being utilized to identify what group the row belongs to. The rows are sorted by group and I only wish to display the group name once and I am removing all other references to the group name.

I don't know how to join multiple datatables created in Designer in 1 single Datatable. I need 1 Datatable with all data in it so I can give that single Datatable to one single Tablix in ReportViewer (rdlc). Problem: ReportViewer Tablix can accept only one datatable at time and I need them all at once in one tablix.
How did I get stuck here:* I have added Dataset from Solution Explorer to my Project (ds1). Double click on that item gave me Dataset Designer (ds1.xsd). Here I have created 4 Datatables with all needed columns, mutually connected with parent-child relationships (one to many, nested). dt1 is parent to dt2, dt2 is parent to dt3, dt3 is parent to dt4 (dt1 > dt2 > dt3 > dt4).
On my forms I have binded all my controls to this 4 Datatables and their respective columns so the data is populated hierarchically to dataset (as planed). I have added ReportViewer Control to one form for reporting purposes and Design a new report (rdlc)...As I have read in past few days (read: week or two) I need to Join all my datatables to one single (flated) datatable somehow and then feed that DataTable to my Report.
So basically I have 2 questions: 1. How to join my 4 datatables? Can I do it from Designer or I must do it in code? 2. If I cant do joining from Designer how will I see this new datatable with all columns from my Report? If I wanna add a Dataset/DataTable to my Report I go to Tab Report Data - New - Dataset - comboTo SelectExistingDatasets and if Datatable/Dataset is not created in Designer I can not see it here to add it to work with it.

I've added a column to one of the tables in the database. Is there a quick to reset one of the datatables within my dataset so that I do not have to delete the whole datatable and add it back in?

The DataGridView Control only accepts one data source, but there are ways to brake through, ways that I'm not able to find.

Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition.I have a have a DataSet, created from (part of a) Access database. I have tow tables in it (say A and B). When I change something in table A, I need to get data from table B to complete table A.My approach was to use the RowChanged event inside a (Partial) Class of table A. For that to work however table B needs to be shared. (I don't like to refer to an instance.) I got it to work by changing the DataSets designer code, but don't want to do it all over again when the code is regenerated for some reason. So: would there be any way to have these tables shared by default?

I have been searching for quite a while about joining multiple datatables via LINQ to dataset (When i say multiple, i don't mean just 2!!!), and it seems there aren't lot of examples in the net. I have seen examples of joining two datatables, done that, no problem there. Now i want to join three datatables. And there's nothing i can find out there.For example i have a 3 datatables:
PERSON (columns: person_id, name, gender_code, ethnic_code)
GENDER (columns: gender_code, gender_description)
ETHNICITY (cols: ethnic_code, ethnic_description)
[code].....

Heres my issue, I am retrieving data from xml and populating a DataSet with the results into multiple DataTables but i have an issue where an item is repeated in my input data and it is causing it to exception because of the constraints imposed between these tables. how can i determine if a row exists prior to adding the DataRow and thus not include it in my DataTable?

I created a DataSet using the DataSources wizard. I can display the rows of each Datatable one at a time. But in this case, I needed to add a new DataTable (newDT) using the Add New Table Adapter control(?) on the toolbox. newTable is derived by JOINing three different existing tables (or, dataTable) in my DataSet designer. The query works fine and returns all the data as expected. Trouble, if I try to display the rows of the newDT on textboxes, I get a NULLREFERENCE Exception.

I'm having a hard time joining 2 datatables and have the joined datatable as result. First datatable (labels) holds data including a printerid. Second datatable (printers) holds printer references (id > unc). I would like to have as endresult (joined) a datatable with all data from the first datatable with the field (unc) of the second datatable. [Code]

I am trying to develop a report that displays the result of a query that returns two tables. The first table is always a single row of values, the second should be a grid. I can get a report to display either independently, however it will not allow me put them both on the same report.

I have a dataset that I'm trying to loop through to be able to save any changes made to that dataset and update my database doing so. Is that possible? I've seen that it's possible to do it with datatables but not datasets. If so, can someone offer a starting point for me to learn with?

What is the best place (event/procedure) to use the newest record when navigating from record to record on a form.
For example, I want to do a calculation on 2 text boxes that are bound to a dataset. This calculation will be done each time a new record is navigated to.

Today i have been checking out the concept of datasets and i like the way they work except for a minor issue i have with it.The following code should get a databasetable and put it in a dataset and return that set to the user.[code]I submit the table name and it will select it, read it and fill the dataset with it, then return it. And it does exactly that once.If i try to re-read the same datatable it just returns the exact same dataset as the first time yet i am 100000% sure that i changed it .

I have an untyped DataSet: "ResultsData",which contains several tables: eg "EntryList_table".The Parent Form reads lines from a text file, parses the line, and distributes the necessary data to the corresponding data table.I then have several child forms which contain DataGridViews, each displaying the data in a unique format. All of these tables are Read only, and the DataGrid views only need to display the data attached. However, when I open the child forms, the data does not seem to update with each line read from the text file? As they are bound to the DataTables in 'ResultsData', the column headings appear correct, but will not populate the new data.I would like to have a 'Shared' DataSet that can be accessed by each child form (when activated), and will allow continuous modifications as the input lines are read.

putting images in a dataset. I'm developing a windows application that accesses an sql server database in another server, an sql server 2000 database. A table, tblProducts, contains a field called ProdImage with type VarChar. ProdImage contains the path of the image which is stored in the server's file system.

I have a program that I designed that scans my music folder, gets the id3 information, and then in turn inserts the results into a dataset
Here is what I have:
MusicLibrary.sdf with a table called MusicLib
MusicLibraryDataSet
MusicLibBindingSource
MusicLibTableAdapter
DataGridView
So far here is where I am, if I open the database through the visual studio ide, I manually put in a few songs just for testing purposes. When I run the program the DataGridView displays the data I entered. However I can't seem to figure out how to actually programatically add songs to the database. This is what i did so far:
I execute this command for each song scanned:MusicLibraryDataSet.MusicLib.AddMusicLibRow("FileName", "Artist", "Album", "Title", "Track") Then when done execute this command:MusicLibraryDataSet.MusicLib.AcceptChanges()
After I do that how do I then insert these items into the sql database itself so that the next time I load up my program the info is there. I have plenty of sql experience, but am used to doing all this in asp.net, i've never quite gotten all the table adapters and stuff.

I'm writing an application to mimic a cash machine, I have a Form1 on which the user enters their PIN and chooses their card no. from a drop down box.The accountID is passed to Form2 and I know this is successfully seen by displaying it in a simple message box.A data adapter and dataset are used for this to the cards table.However, what I then require is within Form2 to retrieve the balance from that accountID in table Accounts, another data adapter and dataset have been created for this under Form2.I'm trying to get the balance into another variable, and I have written this as follows: [code]I would expect the result of this to be e.g. 100.00 but instead I am getting a response of "There is no row at position 0".

Firstly here's the code and i will explain my problem underneath. [code...]
Now as you can see I have a variable that holds a value member of the combo box Products which is the productID of the current product selected. Then it searchers through the products datatable and once its found the correct product or not it stores the answer in slectedproductrow. next I test to see if selected product row has found the product if it has i then see if the product has already been added to the order by seraching the the customer current order datatable if it hasn't it adds the current information to the order by using selected product row.
Now the problem i get is when i add the same product it still adds the information again as currentorderrow comes back as nothing everytime even if the product has been added before but if it was in the table which it should be it should skip that bit and just go to add the current qtys toghther.Also if i go to add a diffrent product it overwrites the the other one. So i can't store the customer order. Its like i can't store more than one row. By the way I have a datagrid and can see the product get over wrriten.

We have a VB.NET (aspx) website with a login first page. Once the user has logged in and is authenticated they are taken to a single page with a Menu Bar at the top and a report viewer control underneath. When the user has logged in the report viewer is initially populated by a dynamic menu (a menu of links to other reports depending on each user's permission).
Now, on some reports that the user access from the main menu, they like to export the data. The nicely formatted reports export nicely to PDF but these same reports look awful when you export to excel. Further more what is required from the excel version is no formatting and also to include extra columns of data that are available form the dataset but not from the rendered report (for use with importing these expoerts into other systems).
Is it possible to extract the data that is generated from the dataset that renders the report?What I would like to do is obtain this data and create my own excel export option (of which I will put into the page Menu bar at the top of the screen). It is important to just grab the data that is generated because different data is available depending on the parameters the user has chosen.

i have a situation where I need to search a table for a specific record that matches an ID number the user will specify. I know 2 methods to accomplish this. The first would involve writing some VB.net code that would call a TSQL statement and return the value through the return parameter. The second method would involve creating a dataset and populating it with a select statement.

K, I'm not sure which forum this question goes in, so I am putting it here.Here's my problem.I have a customer file [CSV] I am importing to SQL. I am using JET to read it into a dataset. I am using a schema.ini file to define columns, because I have one column with up to 1000 characters in it... so I have to define it as a Memo field so it won't truncate at 255 characters.

I 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.
