Now that I figured that out I was going to try and place the data in a specific location. On my application I have a datagridview set up with 4 columns.

Dim path As String = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
Dim myDataset As New DataSet()
Dim strConn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.Oledb.12.0;Data Source=" & path & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1""")
Dim myData As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", strConn)

Now that I figured that out I was going to try and place the data in a specific location. On my application I have a datagridview set up with 4 columns. What I would like to do is put column A of the excel file under the 1st column of the datagridview and column C of the Excel File in the second column of the datagridview.
So replace:
vb
DataGridView1.DataSource = myDataset.Tables(0).DefaultView
With:
vb
DataGridView1.columns(0) = myDataset.Tables(0).columns(0)
DataGridView1.columns(1) = myDataset.Tables(0).columns(2)
Obviously this doesnt work, and something tells me I might need a for loop to import the data, but I have never imported information from an Excel file before and to make it worse I have never worked with datagridviews before so I have no idea how to go about this.
I would like to do something like this if I could:
vb
For x = 1 To xldoc.rows.length - 1
DataGridView1.Item(0, x).Value = CType(xlDoc.Cells(0, x + 1), Excel.Range).Text

I have a datagridview control that will be used to allow the user to input records. The control uses a combobox column to select a type of service.

I have the combobox , quantity and total columns figured out but I don't know how to get the rate column to automatically be selected when the type of service is selected.

I am having a problem regarding to Importing file from excel to listview. Actually my problem is that my program will let the user define what database he/she want. I know already how to load on my listview from .txt, access, ms sqlserver, but my problem is the user want to open from excel file. Base from his data, the columns contained Contact, address, age,name and only in sheet1. My problem now is that the user want to call his/her excel act like a database. The tablename will be Sheet1 and if he/she want to display the age and name column he/she can view by calling the its columnname. The columname will act as a fieldname.

In my application I read data (using data binding) from an Excel spreadsheet into a DataGridView. This works, but the data columns contain text fields (strings). I would like to set the data type for some columns to "Date" and Decimal. I cant do this on the DataGridView (error: cant change properties for data-bound stuff) and I cant figure out how to do it on the dataset or data-table that I bind to the DataGridView.The following is the code I use to read and bind the data:

and i want to show all this data on data grid i have tried with some code like this

I have a few forms that the user uses to select data records and then perform some analysis on them.So the selected records are presented in a datagrid and each in turn it reviewed and the analysis data added to the extra columns, works very.
However, if the user clicks on a column to sort the grid, the unbound fields are not sorted with it, just blanked out. I can prevent them from sorting, but it would be nice if it could sort the full grid.
I am entering data in a dataGridView, I have a column named with 6 characters.The first 3 characters are always "HHH"When I enter in this cell, Is there any way to put automatically these 3 characters and start to write in the fourth one?

When this runs, I get an error message that says: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. The excel file has only one sheet that is named "Sheet", and the location specified in the connection line is correct. Any ideas on why this may be happening?
This code works well however when data is exported to excel in one field some values are wrong. Instead for example populating 16-12-19 it populates 43815, 01-03-99 it populates 36220. Again, if the sort code is like 20-72-68 or 60-01-22 it is populated the same way, which is correct. If the value is a date lookalike then this problem appears, but if not then the exact value as displayed on the grid is shown in excel.
I inserted the code (highlighted in red) to set all the fields as text values. Right, it is exported and when excel spreadsheet is opened the field property is text, but the problem still exists. Why doesn't excel display it as it is displayed on the datagrid and database, instead of changing it even when set text.

I am working with Vb.net and this code below works fine. However, when I review the data exported to excel I have a problem with one particular field i.e., sort code. Sort code in the database is in the format 00-00-00. Therefore if it is 12-11-09 or 11-01-66, a look alike of a valid date it is disaplyed as 12/11/2009 and 11/01/1966 in excel after the export. Excel thinks its a date which is incorrect. I expect it to show 12-11-09 and 11-01-66.

View 2 RepliesI am having a problem using ACE. I am on Windows 7 64 bit and I am using Visual Studio 2010. I have inherited a program that needs to be converted from using JET to ACE as more and more users could not use it on their new computers. All this little application does is sort data according to selected fields and then insert blank lines whenever the data changes. It worked fine with Jet built in VS 2005.
Line 32 is where I am getting trouble. I get one of two error when I get to this point "IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_FAIL(0x80004005) when targeting any CPU. I found suggestions from people on the web to target X86 in the advanced compile options but then I get 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered. This I think is due to the system looking for the 32 bit version of ACE but I am using the 64 bit.
When reading through the code the line da.Fill(dt) is underlined with the comment "Variable 'da' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime." This confuses me as I declare it at the top and it gets used in the if the statement. The only reason for the underline I can see is that there is no option in case the incoming data is not from csv,xls or xlsx but since the open file dialog doesn't allow for anything else that shouldn't matter.

I have a problem loading big spreadsheets into a datagridview.
I had a similar code as above that i used and it works great if you have say 10000 cells to populate cell by cell.
How ever moving to 2 mil cells is a different cup of tea, the code took more than 7 minutes to load the data, and although the data was perfect in every way, its too time consuming, i cant get it to work faster so I used the datagrid instead.
The sheets needed to be imported is 350,000 cells plus. I used code that works realy great, does the import into the grid and transfers the data to a datagridview within 15 seconds with little resources which put a smile on my dail :) then i saw something and it dropped ...

When i paste other text into the cells below the heading (NOT NUMBERS) it shows the data and heading, Only if the "type" of content is the same does it display both the heading and the text that follows in rows below.
