Databinding To Multiple Textboxes With Single Data Source?
Oct 17, 2011
I'm working on a program that is interacting with a simple Access database. When the form loads there need to be multiple text boxes that are bound to the same table and field in the database, Inventory_Table.Quantity, to display the quantity of the inventory. From there, orders are read into the system adjusting the inventory as necessary.
I need to specify what row these are each supposed to be bound to, because right now it is binding them all to row 0, which makes sense but is not what I want. Is this possible? Heres the code I have to bind currently.
is it possible to have a single report from two different tables? Because I have been reading articles that are saying that it is not possible and a subreport should be implemented? Can anyone clarify this for me?
I've been retrieving the fields that I need for my report with inner join sql statement and setting it as the data source of the report that I had created but it doesn't show up when the crystal report viewer is loaded. I had the correct syntax based on testing on what is retrieved by the statement, the only problem is how should it be shown in a single report.
I have a sign up sheet that I am working on for instance;
username password street address city state zip
I've been trying to save the textboxes individually but when I go to load the information everthing is pushed all into one textbox.....I'm also using the SaveFileDialog and OpenFil
I am trying to get the information inputted from multiple textboxes to save to a single text file.
Here's what I got. Private Sub btn_done_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_done.Click Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:UsersTrevorDocumentsDraftAC est.txt" Dim i As Integer Dim aryText(2) As String [Code] .....
Is there a way to write a single function that will control validating the input to any textbox? How to pass control of it.
E.g.: My second try was to: Dim CurrentTextBox As TextBox << Declare a global Write a function that uses the global textbox and takes in 2 parameters, one determining the length it has to validate and the second telling it what to do once the input is verified
Public Sub ConfirmInput(length As Integer, which As Integer) If (CurrentTextBox.TextLength < length) Then CurrentTextBox.BackColor = vbRed GoTo DONE ElseIf (CurrentTextBox.TextLength > length) Then CurrentTextBox.BackColor = vbRed [Code] .....
My first try was to pass a textBox parameter to the ConfirmInput function but I believe that's the same problem as above.
In VB.NET I would like to create a complicated data structure with multiple types of data stored in an array like format (see below). I am trying to create a data structure that would look something like this: [Name; xLoc; yLoc; zLoc; [Jagged Array]] Note: Name needs to be dimensioned as a string, xLoc and so forth as integers. The Jagged Array would look like this:
I have 5 combo boxes that need to show the same list of items that come from a single dataset table. I have managed to bind the datatable to the combo boxes no problem at all.. but when I run the application and select an item from one of the combo boxes all the others change to the item I selected. After some research I believe that this problem is something to do with using the one datasource so I have tried assigning the dataset datatable to 2 different variables and used them as datasources for 2 of the comboboxes but the same still happens.
A work around to this I can see is to call the same methods and SQL select statements 5 times over to get individual datasources for each combo box but this doing that sounds crazy to me. how I can get around this easily? Code snippet below shows 2 combox boxes and their datasources. I'm using VS2005, .Net 2
What I'm trying to do - VB 2005 express and sql 2005 express editions - Trying to set up just a basic hardware/software inventory program. As is I've got separate tables for computer and software licenses...with ComputerID and LicenseID primary keys respectively...where I'm bumping into walls is that I wanted to be able to link them together with a foreign key, for example the computer record would have a foreign key for LicenseID and when a license would get installed the ID would go in and there'd be a nice pretty link. However I run into scenarios where a computer might not have any software installed...or might have more than 1 software item. Or a single software item may be installed on 1 computer, multiple computers, or nowhere. It possible to have that single foreign key field link to multiple records from the opposite table?
What was originally suggested to me was to have a 3rd table called Installations. It'd have 3 rows...one named InstallationID as the primary key, and 2 foreign key rows named ComputerID and LicenseID that linked to the other tables, so that when a license was installed, a record would be added to the Installations table, and later on when we wanted to see where all a particular license was installed or what licenses a single computer had, the table could be filtered by computer ID or license ID and all matching records could be displayed. When I tried that out though I'm having a heck of a time getting the correct items to display.
Just as a basic test i set up a new form and dragged the tables onto it from the Data Sources window using "Details" view for each of them, so that it set up the table adapters and binding sources and navigator for me. I got rid of the auto-added labels + textboxes on the form and added just a couple new textboxes, 1 linked to the licenseID and one to another row i had in that table for productkey...tested it and it moves through the records fine and the correct data shows up in each box to correspond with the other. now though I'd like to add another control to display each of the ComputerIDs that are linked to the particular license being displayed in the other controls via the foreign keys routing through the Installations table, but I'm not having much luck.
I have four textboxes, I want textbox1 to accept only char data. I want textbox2 to accept only numeric data. I want textbox3 to accept only alphanumeric data. I want textbox4 to accept only bolean data.
a checkboxlist control on my page and each item relates to a boolean value column in a flat table on my sql server. I've worked out how to transpire checked listitems into the table ok, but I'm having problems auto populating the checkboxlist with the boolean (selected or not) columns.
I have a windows forms application with one exe and several dlls(Class libraries) in a single solution. The application uses common data that is used across all the dlls. I would like to load the data when the application is starting up and use the loaded data at various points in the dlls so that I do not have to load the common data again and again. How can I share the data loaded in main EXE across the DLLs?
I have a winforms app access a database with 6 tables. Out of 6, I am showing 3 tables on three different tabs on my Form. However, I want to do it using a single binding navigator that will use / change the respective binding source dynamically, depending on the tab that is activated by the user. I have separate binding source for each of the three tables.
how to go about this? I have a form, frm1 w/a combobox, cboLocations, which is being populated using a sql string. There is also a frm2 w/a series of textboxes and other comboboxes. I want it so that once a selection is made from cboLocations, the textboxes and comboboxes on frm 2 are populated with the corresponding data. Here is what I have so far:
frm1: Public Class frmLocations Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=f03d3s-dev01; Initial Catalog=dos_track;User Id=vbuser; Password=tran3;") Dim depot_refnbr As Integer
[Code]...
What's happening right now is that I make a selection from cboLocations on frm1 and click on the OK button, frm2 loads, but none of the textboxes are populating and one of the comboboxes, cboDepot, shows the different data when you click on the down arrow, but it's not displaying anything it its text field when frm2 loads.
I am currently having a headache on how to solve this problem that i am facing.here is the situation:I have a combobox and a list box on the main form. The combobox will get the data from the ms access database.In the database, i have the details of a person's IC, Name and DOB say for eg on one entry I have D215311523C,SHAWN,13/04/1987
So now, my combobox on form load will show the list of dates in the database to allow the user to search base on the date itself by clicking on the selected date. So when the user clicks on the particular date say 13/04/1987, people in the database whose birthday is 13/04/1987 will be shown on the listbox.Meaning to say if i have 3 entries whose dates are the same 13/04/1987, 3 entries will appear. If there is only two entry, then two results will be shown.
I am importing data from an excel file, and it is stored in a dataset. The data is then filtered with a binding source, and that data is outputted into a datagridview. The filtered data in the datagridview contains data for 2 identification numbers. I want to graph each ID number in a chart on their own bar, in either a stacked bar graph, or a double bar graph.
I am having trouble assigning each series to an ID number: I have tried using multiple binding sources, but each seems to override the previous giving too much/too little data. I have tried using multiple datagridviews, however I cannot assign more than one datagridview as the datasource for the chart. The code I have pasted below outputs a double bar graph, however both bars graph the same ID number.
Private Sub dataButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dataButton.Click Try Dim cnRange As String = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _ "data source='" & strFileName & "';" & _ "Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0; IMEX=1; HDR=No;""" 'moApp.Visible = True [Code] .....
I have created a form with three comboboxes. means FirstNameComboBox MiddleNameComboBox LastNameComboBox All fields are select ( name ) from a "CustomerName" table. "CustomerName" table is have more than ten thousand records. I am use three binding sources its worked great but it is very slow bcz three comboboxes are filled data on form loading time. I am using visual studio 2010 (visual basic).
I have several combo boxes which are mapped to the same datasource (an array), when user selects one combo box, all other boxes are get updated to the same selection too. what is the problem?
Say I have a code with 3 methods that do some pretty intensive work. Would executing these methods on 3 seperate threads be faster then executing them one after the other on a single core cpu? And what if it's a dual core or HT?
I wanna show some values of variables (about 6) inside item template of a Datalist. let's say if i have
Dim A As String = "hello world"
I wanna show that inside the Datalist. Dim A needs to be declared on Page Load or in a method somewhere .. coz the source is the database,so i can't just declare as public const on the top of the page.I tried this in Datalist but i won't work as expected.
<%= a %>
I also tried putting that different places like ItemDataBound or Page init. it won't work if the way i did was wrong.In the datasource of Datalist is a datatable with other data. So it is like i am having more than one source for Datalist. Is there any way around other than putting that Dim A inside the datatable?
I refreshed my data sources to include additional items from the SQL Server databases and it appears that my entire data source from my VB.NET project disappeared.I am using Entity Framework. I may have clicked on something wrong, not quite sure. Unfortunately I can't recreate the Data Source without creating a new Entity and Data Model.I can delete the entry in the App.Config file and recreated it, however things aren't quite right.Is there a way that I can recreate my Data Source from the entry that is in my App.Config file...since that appears to have remained intact.BTW, I can go to my Data Model and successfully refresh from there, however my project isn't connecting to the database so I have quite a number of errors until I can get reconnected.
Here's the setup: I've created a class that represents a temperature and humidity monitor. This class handles all of its own operations (connects to the monitors via TCP, reads the temperature and humidity values at set intervals, logs the data, sends email notifications, etc.). I've got a single Windows form that has two textboxes for displaying the values of temp and humidity. When I start the application, I simply instantiate an object of this class and let it do its thing. Every five minutes, it opens up a socket connection, pulls in the data I want, sets the Temp and Humidity properties of the object to the values it obtained, and fires a DataUpdate event which is captured in an event handler in the Windows form.
When this event occurs, the textboxes on the form are updated with the values from the Temp and Humidity properties of the object. Works like a champ. However, I've been playing around with multithreading. Since a disconnected device will cause my entire application to block when it tries to connect, I decided to place the socket connection/data acquisition method into a separate thread. If it can't find the device, no big deal -- at least it doesn't lock up my UI. This thread is instantiated and started inside the object code, NOT the Windows form.
Here's my question, the socket connection/data acquisition method is run inside this new thread and sets the properties of the object when it's done. So, why do I get an illegal cross-thread exception on my Windows form, now, when I try to update the textboxes? It seems to me that the instance of the monitor class is running in the same thread as the Windows form. I only employ a separate thread when I want to run the socket connection/data acquisition method. Is my understanding flawed? I can display the updated property values in message boxes that are called from the Windows form. I just can't manipulate the textboxes.
this is probably a bit tense and I'm not sure if this is possible at all. But basically, I'm trying to create a small application which contains alot of PowerShell-code which I want to run in an easy matter.
I've managed to create everything myself and it does work. But all of the PowerShell code is manually hardcoded and this gives me a huge disadvantage. What I was thinking was creating some sort of dynamic structure where I can read a couple of text files (possible a numerous amount of text files) and use these as the source for both the comboboxes and the richtextbox which provovides as the string used to run in PowerShell.
I was thinking something like this:
Combobox - "Choose cmdlet" - Use "menucode.txt" as source Richtextbox - Use "code.txt" as source
But, the thing is, Powershell snippets need a few arguments in order for them to work. So I've got a couple of comboboxes and a few textboxes which provides as input for these arguments. And this is done manually as it is right now. So rewriting this small application should also search the textfile for some keywords and have the comboboxes and textboxes to replace those keywords. And I'm not sure how to do this.
So, would this requre a whole lot of textfiles? Or could I use one textfile and separate each PowerShell cmdlet snippets with something? Like some sort of a header?
[Code]...
Now, this snippet above lets me either use a text file as a source for each username used in the powershell snippet. Just so you know :) And I know, this is probably coded as stupidly as it gets. But it does work! :)
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then Dim txt As TextBox = TryCast(ctl, TextBox) If txt.Tag IsNot Nothing Then
[CODE]...
Now - here's the really odd part! See the attached image. I call up a vendor - go to change the LANGUAGE FROM (Finnish) to another language - when I leave the DROP DOWN for LANGUAGE FROM it puts garbage in the RateHr_3 field. It actually fills the field with "System.Data.DataRowView" - as you can see in the bottom piece of the attached image.I'm having a really hard time debugging this - How do you put a watch on a textbox in VS2008?
Okay this is the simple thing I'm trying to accomplish. I can get richtextbox1 to add to listbox 1. but i cant get both to add. the compare works fine. I'm stumped.
I have a datagridview and some textboxes and other controls all bound to a bindingsource. When I first run the project the controls all show the correct data (the first row in the datasource) but when I change rows in the datagrid my controls do not update their data.
My code: Private Sub BindData() Try bs = New BindingSource bs.DataSource = dtPromoList dgvPromo.DataSource = bs [Code] .....
