View 1 RepliesBeen trying to solve this for the past few days It's doing my head in I have just moved from a legacy version of VB to VS 2010. I'm happy with SQL statements.I have placed a DataGridView on a form and it impressively sets up a grid view of the data. Now I want to provide a txtSearch texbox and a btnFind button to filter the records by the search string entered into txtSearch.In the good old days you would create an SQL satement and refresh the DataSource property of the data control and all would be well - easy, quick and effective.
In this new environment I am totally lost = simply don't know how to refresh the DataGridView with records resulting from a dynamically generated SQL statement - and I don't want to use stored procedures at the moment (using Access).So, from the Click even of btnFind I can create the SQL statement but how do I implement it
Alright i have a code for getting the path of drop file to my label.Private Sub Label1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles Label1.DragDrop If e.Data.GetDataPresent("FileDrop") Then
Dim theFiles() As String = CType(e.Data.GetData("FileDrop", True), String())
For Each theFile As String In theFiles
MsgBox(theFile)
Next
End If

I have a dataset (WW1Dataset) with one data table(WW1).(database used in an access database) I'm trying to filter the dataset e.g a user wants to filter by a chosen surname (SurnameTextBox.text) so the datset is filtered to display only those records wherethe surname column in the dataset matches SurnameTextBox.text.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a very simple program that connects to a accdb file (Microsoft Access 2007 file) and returns some results in a datagridview. Everything is fine. Now because we have to deploy this program in many computers i publish it so everyone we want can install it and have updates. What i wanted to do is to make the database file part of the program which i did it by adding it to the resources. My problem is that i do not know what connection string to enter in order to access it in my resources.
My previous connectionstring before i deploy it was this
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:l.accdb;Persist Security Info=True
What should i change in the data source in order to access the same file in my resources?
I am writing a program to calculate Pi to several hundred billion decimal places and this will require lots of GB of memory. I wrote a test program in VB2008 that saved the first 16 digits of Pi (without the decimal point) to both a text file and a random access file, just to be sure it was outputting the numbers properly. For reference the first 16 digits of Pi are:
View 8 RepliesI created a query on a Access database, which I would like to show with the datagridview. So, I created a new table adapter with my query, which creates as well the datatable tbl1. Then, the wizard created the datagridview for me, showing the correct data. Now, I would like to filter these rows: I already read it is possible to do it by simply clicking "Add query...", but I would like to do it in a different way. I have some comboboxes, and I would like to use the strings inside them to filter my table tbl1. Is it possible to apply those queries one after the other on my datatable tbl1? I am able to filter only once with:
Me.tbl1TableAdapter.FillBySomething(Me.DataSet.tbl1, params...)
But, if I wanted to filter the result again?
I am having trouble filling my datagridview from a separate combobox selection.On my form, I have a datagridview that displays all the contents from my tab delimited text file (customers.txt). Also, on the same form I have a combo box that displays all the customers names.
Once a user selects a name, the datagridview should populate details about the selected customer. I figured out how to fill a multiline textbox; however,I want to fill a datagridview instead but am unsure how to go about doing so.Code for filling mutiline textbox with customers details

I have a structure representing a log, containing fields such as Order Number, Line Number, etc. Each time a test is done, this log structure is serialized and appended to an Xml file created on the day which the test was done. At present, i have 20 or so Xml files containing varying number of log structures which i would like to be able to filter through in a single search. My target at present is to be able to load all data against a specific order number, and also to perform a search and return distinct records, as there could be multiple Order Numbers in one or many files.So far, i've attempted to load all the data from all files into a large generic List(Of Log) and use LINQ to filter out the results. I've also tried loading all the data into a DataTable and filtering using the Select method. The last method i used was using the SelectNodes method from the XmlDocument class. All of these methods seemed to work but i was becoming stuck when filtering distinct records?
View 1 Repliesworking on a little app which requires the user to select items from a listbox bound to a dataview, then adding selected items to a new table. In the new table calculations are done, and so far its all working pretty good. The problems comes in is that there are many values and types to filter and I am having some trouble with the search aspects. So far in my code I am going about the problem using the datatables in this manner:
to sum it up:
form loads initial data to table
displays it in a dataview bound to a listbox
dataview is filtered using rowfilter queries, controlled in various manner
dataview is converted to table, then selected row is imported to final table
Calculations done on final table values
So far its pretty damn fast and works well, however the searching needs refinement. To give you an idea here is *some* of the search criteria in one of my rowfilter calls.
color:
red
black
[code]....
Form is requested to be as so:
6 checkboxes, and 12 numericupdowns (spin) buttons I have a seperate method to enable/disable them dynamically.
Have a look at the select row query: its getting messy already.Although I am specifying max and min values it seems to only filter by the max value and color, so something is wrong here...but i think it is just syntax... but already its getting a little long, just wait until i add the types as well..
Public Sub mainFilter()
' variables to enable filtering by color
Dim red = ""
Dim black = ""
[code]....
So basically is there a better way for me to go about filtering these table values? I notice in visual studio I can add queries to the dataset in there and they work quite well directly on the source table, without using a dataview and temptable, but when I open the query builder I can't add variables to the queries, which would force me to make queries for every foreseable scenario, and add buttons or menus to activate them all....not good.is there a way to hand code these queries with variables?
alternatively I thought about making a little rowfilter query builder, that substitutes variables for the rowfilter syntax, using some simple control flow, perhaps select case and then add them to the rowfilter query as the user enables/disables them in the form.i.e.
if RedCheckbox1 then
Redvar = "Color = 'Red'"
Maxvar = " & spinMax.value & "'

Why does the following query raise the error below for a row with a NULL value for barrel when I explicitly filter out those rows in the Where clause?
Dim query = From row As dbDataSet.conformalRow In dbDataSet.Tables("conformal") _
Where Not IsDBNull(row.Cal) AndAlso tiCal_drop.Text = row.Cal _
AndAlso Not IsDBNull(row.Tran) AndAlso tiTrans_drop.Text = row.Tran _
[code]....
Run-time exception thrown : System.Data.StrongTypingException - The value for column 'barrel' in table 'conformal' is DBNull.
How should my query / condition be rewritten to work as I intended?

I am saving some operational log information into a XML file. At any time the user can bring up a datatable to display the information. I don't want them to see the 'HOURLY' log. I can't seem to filter this out. Also I need to populate a list box with all the unique events for filtering.

I'm currently trying to create a system which stores different cases for clients using Visual Studio 2010.When adding fields from the database a table adapter is automatically created.Me.TblMattersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MJPAccessDataSet.tblMatters)Now my problem is that each case may be at a different stage. They are either 'Active', 'Closed' or 'Archived'.So my question, is there a way to filter these results? I've tried creating DataTable and only adding the archived cases but I couldn't get it to work. I was trying.
View 4 RepliesI am using VB Net (2008) and SQL (2008) in Windows Forms, I am trying to filter a DataGridView , this DataGridView is being fill by Add New Data Source to my win form thus Dataset, Binding Source, Table Adapter are added to my form. Also my win form has 4 combo Boxes, a button and a DataGridView . Cbobox1 hold all the columns Name of the DGV , let say for instance that Supplier is the name of the column selected by cboBox1, CboBox2 which hold all the operators (being fill manually) like ( =, <> =< , >=, < , > , like, not like, between, not between, is null, is not null ), CboBox3 hold all the names of the Suppliers in alphabetic order, CboBox4 hold the same as CobBox3, Note: Cbobox3 and Cbobox4 values change as CboBox1 select a different column name. When using BindingSource.Filter every thing work fine, for this ex: let say cboBox2 is worth <> See part of my code EX:BindingSource.Filter = String.Format ("{0} {1} {2}", cboBox1.text, cboBox2.text, boBox3.text) except when using the operator "Between" I get this message āBindingSource.Filter do not support this type of operator". So this is why I am trying to use the Sql Select Command. Wandering if it is possible to use the already Sql Connection and Table Adapter to build a SQLString Filter and also could I use the curly braces.
View 5 RepliesI want to be able to use this program to filter through a list of doctors, and based on what doctor you select, only show the patients who see that doctor.
Here is what I have so far, the database has a column with just the doctor names so I thought I should be able to filter it by that and show the patients, but none show up. I don't get an error and it seems to refresh, but nothing ends up in the schedule.

Actually I just realized I don't think I loaded the data from the database as the form loaded. I tried doing that, but get an error where I called for the data to be loaded. I added the code where I try loading the databases.

I am using VS 2008 and have a DataGridView linked to a SQL table. One of the columns in my table is a dueDate column. On my form I have a set of check boxes and one of them is set to display all rows that have a dueDate > today's date (well that's what I want it to do). I have set up another filter on other criteria in other columns and am able to get it to work fine but I can't seem to find the trick to get the date comparison to work.
Here's the line I am having an issue with. BillLogBindingSource.Filter = ("dueDate < System.DateTime.Now.Date")

Is it possible to use the GridView.onRowCreated method to check if the user was added within a given time frame? If the user was added within that timeframe, then the row is added, if not, then that row is not added.
Note that I can't modify the datasource of the gridview, so I need to do this somehow as the gridview is being created.
