What I am used to declaring database connection is that in every form I type the codes for it which is a tiring way. Now, I want to use module instead but I really don't know how. And also, how will I call the connection to every forms I created?

View 1 Replieshow to create modules and consequently how to use them.I need to do a database in mySql from vb.net. I have tried the usual way, that is my connecting to the database at the beginning of each of my class. I want to know if that can be done through modules, as far as i have read about that or some other way like procedures and functions. In that way, it could ease my coding in not having to write the db connection each time.

View 4 RepliesI have an issue with variables that are used to name For-Next loops. I have had this problem in a couple programs but not consistently, i.e. some variables work, some throw a warning (not an error).
The situation is this. I declare the variable along with all my declarations in a module-
Module MainModule
Public Counter1 As Integer
end Module 'MainModule
[Code]....
The type for variable 'Counter1' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'Counter1', or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.Counter1' or 'MyBase.Counter1'). In the past I've always broken down and changed the names to get rid of all those ugly warnings. Sometimes I have eliminated them from being declared in the module and declared them at call time. This is not how I program and I like to keep consistency throughout.
how I can get rid of this spotty, on-and-off nonsense? There is obviously a lot I don't understand about VS and I would have never taken it up but would have stopped 3 languages ago if I weren't forced into bulkier and bulkier languages (sorry about the rant. I feel OK now).
What I'm supposed to do is declare two module level String variables name strCaptital and strChoice and I did that. At least I think I put them in the right place, however what I'm not sure what to do is and I started is that I'm supposed to code each state radio button's click event procedures so that each assigns the appropriate capital to the strCapital variable and then each removes the contents of the lblMsg control.url...

CODE:
Finally starting some coding in VB.Net, I notice over the years, that we can say (in VB6)
Code: Dim MyForm_Stock as NEW frmStock
in the same session, being able to open, say 3 Stock Forms at the same time and maintain details independently of each of the other forms. Also am I able to maintain separate Database connections and the same table being opened and updated independently of each other by each separate form. What is actually taking place in terms of memory being used by each process? My ultimate goal is to be able to have ONE Module with all the possible data Connection and Recordset Opening and closing options, which I have failed miserably to do in my VB6 experience. Data access is an obvious module based set of subroutines. Others could be Date routines eg, Week Number of the year, Days Diff, Days to, etc. [Code]

i am using access database for my program. now i have connected to the database in MDI form of main exe, and ir also works, user can log in, it gets verified etc etc etc. now here is the problem, when i load a form from dll and try to use any sql query on that form, i get message, "database connection is not opened". so what i did was, i added the connect() (a function i designed to connect to database) in the load part of the dll's form, it made the trick, query's started to run, everything went fine, and when i reload the form i.e after closing the form, i load it again from MDI form, i get error, connection already open..

View 22 RepliesI have a MS Access database set up, with a Period field that has either values 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. I retrieve these values using a database connection and I would like to reference a particular control based on what period was grabbed from the database.
Here's example code, pseudo of course.
TextBox(dr(3)).Text = dr(0)
dr(3) contains the period, and dr(0) contains the content I would like to put into the text box. I have these text boxes on my form: TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3, TextBox4 and TextBox5.So if dr(3) contained 2 then I would want to reference TextBox2.

Do you know which module in VB.net will allow me to connect to a file (mdf/mdb) and SQL Server (not at the same time but to change in runtime).Or do you know of two modules which have the same API?
I'm building software which I will wont work both locally and on a server. But I don't want to have to go changing all of my code just because I'm using a different modules. I know VB.net, but I've never used databases.There's so many different database connectors its confusing!

I have a form set up where I want to run the function PopulateGrid on it's Form_Load event. I have initialized the DB connection as follows:
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
LoadConfigFile()
cn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & config("DatabasePath") & ";")
cn.Open()
End Sub
Now, I want to run the PopulateGrid function directly after I connect to the database as shown above. I'm confused as to how I'd use a database query in a module when the database is initialized in my main form. Would simple setting the variable cn to public work?
I have finally got my code all working, but there is just a quick query really. At the moment I have all the database stuff in each form seperatly. When I place it in a global module, it looks like the dataset is being duplicated I was wondering why this happens when I place it in a global module?
This the code I use and the code I would put in a global module

I am trying to copy a table in a database into another database on another connection in VB.NET, using OleDb. If they were on the same connection I would just use SELECT INTO, but they are not. I have two different OleDbConnection and cannot see an easy way to do this.
Right now I am attempting to just copy the database into a DataTable using an OleDbDataAdapter, and then loop through the DataTable and insert every record into the target database one at a time. This obviously takes a ton of time for the large DB I could potentially be dealing with, and I have to deal with escaping strings, null values, etc.
edit - just to make this more clear: I have two OleDbConnection objects, one is linked directly to a local .mdb file on my computer (JET). The other is linked to a database on our servers (SQLOLEDB). I am wanting to do this:
"SELECT * FROM fromDB INTO toDB"
But I can't because fromDB and toDB are on different connections, and the OleDbCommand object is only attached to one. The only way I can see how to do this is to connect to fromDB, copy it into a DataTable, connect to toDB, and copy all of the data in the DataTable row by row into toDB. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
