in my VB.Net application I've created a Dataset that call an existing MS SQL Server stored procedure but after the wizard close no columns where added... how can I add all the columns returned by the stored procedure without adding them manually (off course the stored procedure might change in the future) in which case manually will not work.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to update an existing winforms application, that was created with a dataset control on all the winforms pages. I have ported it from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and I need to update the database section and connect it to the SQL backend using traditional code method.In the Solution explorer, when I click on the Dataset files, and click "Exclude From project" I am unable to build the project.Is it advisable to comment out the code lines that refer to the dataset in the .designer.vb files?
View 1 RepliesI set the width for my ListView columns in the designer, in run time they always shrink back. I have no idea why, could anyone shed some light on this for me - possibly a solution to keeping them exactly the way I set them in designer ?
View 2 RepliesI have multiple datasets that I would like to combine into one. There is a common ID field that can be associated to each row. Calling Merge on the dataset will add additional rows to the dataset, but I would like to combine the additional columns. There are too many fields to do this in one query and therefore would make it unmanageable. Each individual query would be able to handle ordering to ensure the data is placed in the correct row.
For Example lets say I have two queries resulting in two datasets:
SELECT ID, colA, colB
SELECT colC, colD
The resulting dataset would look like
ID colA colB colC colD
1 a b c d
2 e f g h
All fields from my class objects are added to the columns collection of DataGridViews, when the forms or custom controls that contain them are viewed within the VS 2005 designer. I haven't been able to figure out how to stop the designer from auto-adding all of the fields found within the bindingsource object.

Add another and now it can hang for hours.I use task manager to kill VS 2010 after 30 minutes.Go back into the same table adapter query, modify it, save it.Works in seconds.Add another query, hangs, hangs, hangs.I have seen posts about this going back to VS 2008.I have No Add-Ons loaded, what is causing this issue??
View 2 RepliesIt seems that there is no way to preserve changes to a DataSet made with the Designer when there is a change to the database. The only way to get the Designer to rescan the database to incorporate a change is to delete the DataSet and then recreate it. This of course blows away all the mods you've made in the designer. There should be a way to have the Designer rescan the database while preserve all the mods that have been made in the Designer. Otherwise the Designer is essentially useless after the initial generation of code. What am I missing?
As a workaround, I tried incorporating the changes to the database by making the same change in the Designer rather than recreating. However, clearly no one tested this is it only partially regenerates the code based on the change. Try changing a field from nulls not allowed to allowed. This works when you add data to the DataTable, but bombs as soon as you update the database, because the DataSet code does and the database code doesn't get regenerated.
I have a windows form application made in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Rel. I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 for my database. I've been working on this project for a while now and I am almost completed with it. I recently had to add a field to one of my tables in my database, which hasn't given me much troubles in the past as I've had to do this before. To make sure I did it properly, I'll tell you how I added the field. I went to my database on my server and went to my table, tblOrderParts. I right clicked, and went to design. I added a field, Order_Delete, which I made a bit field so I could use a checkbox. When I went to my dataset designer, I used the wizard to add the field to the table in my program.
After I added it, I remembered that one of my forms was using a view I had created with that table that would need the checkbox as well, so I went back into SQL Sever to add that. Added in SQL with no problem, but when I went back to Visual Studio's dataset designer to add the field to my view, it won't allow me. I open the wizard, go to my view i created, vwAllOrders, and checked the box next to it. When I press Finish, though, I get, "An exception has occurred while attempting to set the data source generator property." I had to cancel out of the dataset wizard cause it wouldn't let me continue... even if nothing was changed.
Now it is also showing me an error in the Error section saying,
"Custom tool error: Failed to generate code. Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemory' was thrown."
Now that I've said the error, here's what I'm thinking is going on... Something must be wrong with the custom tool on my dataset. The tool name is MSDataSetGenerator. I went on more forums, and a couple mentioned trying to restart the custom tool by right clicking the dataset and going to "Run custom tool.' When I run it, it gives me another error. Not much different, but still different in wording.
The error it pops up say
"The custom tool 'MSDataGenerator' failed. Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemory' was thrown."
I have an object (ClassGPS) containing a DataTable that is exposed through the property "Satellites". My form has a bindingsource that, upon load, associates itself to a new ClassGPS object. The table has 5 columns, two of which ("PRN" and "dB") I want to chart using the new 4.0 chart tool. So the chart object's DataSource = ClassGPSBindingSource, and the DataMember = Satellites. That is all set in the designer.In ClassGPS.New(), the table is pre-loaded with 4 rows. This object is created before the form loads. When the form loads and the bindingsource is set to the created GPS object, the chart correctly updates and displays the four pre-loaded entries.On this form, I have a button that adds more entries. Tracing from the Click event, pushing the button does add the entries properly to the underlying table, and if I create a ListCHanged handler on the data source, the events are all correctly firing, but the Chart does not update to reflect the changes.
So to test, I added a Datagridview object. Just like the chart, I set its datasource to ClassGPSBindingSource, and the DataMember to Satellites. And here's where it gets weird. In the designer, the newly added DataGridView control has 4 columns in it labeled RowVersion, Row, IsNew, and IsEdit. I didn't create these columns, it does it itself. If I try to change the bindings on these columns to reflect the actual datatable names (PRN and dB) two things can happen:
1) If I hit Play (F5) to debug the program, the DataGridView looks and acts correctly inside the program and is correctly bound and updating fine as I add new data. In the designer underneath however, the changed columns have disappeared and are replaced with the original four it is creating for no apparent reason. When the debug session terminates, the columns - which just finished functioning fine in the debug session - are now gone.
2) If I hit Build, the designer destroys my columns immediately and recreates those it defaulted to.In either case, something very fishy is going on... in that the Chart, with the exact same binding settings as the datagridview, does not work but the datagridview works just fine (unless Build is hit prior to Run).Has anyone run across this? Can you reproduce it? I have bound a chart to a datatable before and it worked just fine, but it didn't have to update except when the form it was on was closed and later re-loaded.
I am trying to use a script mananger to use page methods to communicate between the server and client side of my page. I have added this code to the html
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"
EnablePageMethods="True">
When I add this, here is what is inserted into the designer page.
Protected WithEvents ScriptManager1 As Global.System.Web.UI.ScriptManager
But when this is automatically added, i get this error.
Error 52 Type 'System.Web.UI.ScriptManager' is not defined. C:UsersBillDesktopiPlan-7-layerlistingsummarytreeMain.aspx.designer.vb 32 44 iPlan
I added a reference in my project to system.web.services - but still can not seem to get around this error.
However, now when I open it in design view and add a new tableadapter I now cannot reference the new objects from the code. Likewise if I delete one of the existing tables in the dataset, it still appears to be there from the code (ie in intellisense)Similarly, when I examine the .xsd file, the changes I've made i the designer appear, but the changes are NOT happening in the dataset.designer.vb file. It's as if the two files are somehow out of sync
View 3 RepliesVB.Net 2010 Express - AMD Phenom II X4 - 8g ram There are times when I debug the app that I get the 'End Sub' must preceded by a matching 'Sub' error. This usually happens after I make a change to the table adapter query in the dataset using the designer.
If I dblclick on the error it opens the dataset.Designer.vb and shows the error in question.
First, I have made NO changes to this file manually Second, when looking at the code in question, it actually appears there is nothing wrong with it - yet the compiler thinks there is.
This appears to be a VB.Net 2010 IDE/compiler bug Now, I can resolve this error by re-opening the dataset, configure the Fill query, click Finish (not making any changes - just clicking Finish), and then save and close the dataset.The error goes away then, but I shouldent have to go through all that; especially since my query was fine to begin with.
I have a dataset with around 15 table adapters. Everytime I make a change, such as add a column, change a type, or just anything, it takes around 3-4 minutes before studio responds again. The processor and ram are in good shape, but there is a spike in network usage by devenv during this time. In fact, devenv has the higheset network usage all together, even with with IE open and browsing. Why would this be and is there any remedy?[code]...
View 3 RepliesThe DataSet designer will stop refreshing itself every now and then in VS2008. This means I cannot work with my DataSets until I restart VS. There is a more detailed explanations in
this thread, but it was incorrectly marked as answered. This issue is taking more and more of my time though, so I'd like to get another answer now.
I would like to know where the dataset designer is obtained for a vb.net 2008 appliocation I need to work on. Is this part of the initial install for visual studio.net 2008. If so, what part of the initial install will I find the dataset designer? Is this a plugin that needs to be downloaded? if so, what URL do I need to use to obtain the plugin?

I have a typed dataset with table adapters. I use this method because it makes it easier to design the layout of my DataGridView.The problem is I have added a new table to my dataset.

I'm using a DataSet to interact with an accdb file in an application. While debugging, the app occasionally closes, without warning and returns the stack below. The code causing the exception is in the DataSet.Designer.vb file (automatically generated). What's curious is the line that reads:
If (previousConnectionState = Global.System.Data.ConnectionState.Closed) Thencommand.Connection.Close()End If Why would the code try to close an already closed connection?I just change the "=" to "<>"? Will it stick? (since it's auto-generated, I'm sure it will revert if I modify the dataset, right?)

EmergencyContactRelationship, Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip,

I attached a screenshot of my IRIS program and am wanting to implement a new feature, but I'm not sure how to do it. On the left hand side, you can see I have a bound datagridview control that displays a device name and an IP Address from a table in a database.What I want to do is have the option to launch a new form that has ALL the devices visible (including their state: green or red) and based on the size of the form, be able to auto-wrap to a new column.[code]So basically, instead of being able to only see the devices in the DGV on the left as it is scanning, I want to be able to see ALL of the devices in multiple columns in a new form. I looked on codeproject for a custom control to do this, but didn't really find anything.

I am trying to figure the best way to programmatically re-size table column headers in ReportViewer.Basically, my current resolution is the following: ColumnWidth = Header Caption_CharacterCount * 0.32...Where 0.32 is an estimated width of a typical character using my current font size.The issue is that the width leaves a lot of whitespace for longer captions.The more characters a caption has, the more whitespace I end up with.The issue with estimating this way is that not all characters are the same width. A good example would the the "I" character, which takes up less screen width than the rest of the alphabet.[code]

I am using Visual studio 2008 trial edition and SQL server to make a VB.NET app. I have a windows form which i use to add information to a database, by using a dataset. I recently increased the precision of a column using SQL server manager. I went from numeric(8, 4) to numeric(10, 6). I have my datatable's column set to system.decimal with a maxlength of -1. The problem is when i try and add a row using my program, the column now truncates the values as if it was still set to numeric(8, 4). I have checked my controls to make sure they are not truncating. I am currently creating a row and filling it with values and then adding it to the dataset and then updating the dataset. When i look at the locals during run time the row has the correct truncated value before and after i add it to the dataset but the truncated value is getting added to the database. I have tried manual entering data that is to large for the numeric(8, 4) and the database excepts it. It seem like the dataset does not realize the database has changed.
