I am trying to fill a combo box using a dataset and data adapt. I am struggling too work out how to do it. I thought it would have been easy but I was wrong. i can set the text to read the first line of the colomn but nothing else. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what I have to do. I think I have to increment inc and add a line underneath but I don't know how to do that
I am having difficulties with Filling a dataset. It seems to be automatically assigning a datatype to the column based off of the first field of data it finds in that column. The column sometimes contains an integer, but it may also contain letters and numbers. If the first field is an integer, it says the fields in the column that contain a letter are DBNull. I'd like for the entire dataset to be formatted as a string/text type since I do not know what the values will be that I'm importing 100% of the time. How do I tell the dataset to expect a certain datatype for all columns and rows i'm going to import?
i have a combo box that i'm trying to fill from a database, managed to get it working through the wizard and the form view method but could do the next bit that way. I then started to try it the coded way, got the database linked but it only shows the first name in the database, how do i get it to show all the names in the database?
this is the code for the form
Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class NewTicket Dim ds As New DataSet
I'm trying to get a combo box to fill itself from a MS access database field but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work at school but not at home. Also can't get a program that worked at school to work here so I'm guessing that somewhere there is something blocking the connection to the database. I've gone into the MS access trust center and looked at the settings there but I can't see anything that would be stopping it. I just need to find that setting (if it is indeed a setting) wherever it is and fix it so that I can access my database. I am not using visual basic from access I am accessing access through visual basic.
I can't get it to work with an ADO connection, either. Also when preview data via clicking smart arrow on the combo box then going to preview data I can see the data just fine. Also I just noticed I get two lines in my output after the file is run that say "A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll" I don't get these lines if I comment out all the code for the combo box.
i'm finishing up on my A2 Computing project now and am trying to make a few improvements. first of all, i want to fill a combo box with a list of variables from my database, so when they enter a new record on my vb form, they will have an option to choose from..
my attempt at coding:
Do ComboBox.ObjectCollection.Equals(ds.Tables("TTDB").Rows(inc).Item("GroupID")) inc = inc + 1 Loop Until inc = MaxRows
I have a dataGridView in my program that displays stuff .The invoice No column has a combo box what I wanna do is when the form loads the All the invoice No's which r in the DB should be loaded into the combo box When I select the Invoice No using the combo box the rest should fill
this is what I did -- In form load wrote a code to fill the combo it din work I tried but the combo box didnt fill
I'll start off with a brief explanation of my situation. I'm doing my A-Level coursework project at the moment and am having some difficulty trying to figure something out. My project is a VB.NET Program that connects to a Database to display/add/delete/update records. At the moment I am having trouble with one particular thing which must be solved before I can move on (and the deadline is fast approaching).
I have a combo box which contains a list of different item types (Which match up to the item types used in the database, but it is not filled from the database). When the user selects one of these options, the list box below must fill with all items of that type that are in the database.
Unfortunately I'm at home so I can't get access to my coding, but I can try to explain what I've tried. I've tried so many things after trawling though what seems like endless amounts of tutorials to find an answer.
One thing that is used in pretty much all of them is the SQL string to select the needed records;
"SELECT ItemName FROM Stock WHERE ItemType = Anime"
Now, this has been used many different ways. I think the way that I'm trying at the moment is to create a new data set that contains the records that are needed for the search. There is already a data set that contains the whole table that is needed for this particular form. I think my most recent attempt was trying to copy the relevant information from the original data set to the new one, but I can't get any coding that isn't incorrect.
I'm having trouble filling a ComboBox from a dataset. When the program runs, the combobox has the correct number of lines, but they all appear as System.Data.DataRowView.[code]
ok normally when i fill data i do it this way adapter.Fill(dataset, "table1") However instead of using Strings, i prefer using enums so for example i have:
public enum Tables T1 T2 end Enum
but since adapter.fill does not provide an "integer" argument when i add i had to convert it to a string as such adapter.Fill(dataset, cstr(Tables.T1)). i find this "dirty" and was wondering if there is a better fix
The SQL string won't return data from Access. I've tested this exact SQL String in Access and it works fine.First of all, Am I getting a SQL query from Access in the proper manner?Second... should I be using a stored procedure for this? Or is making a query from tables like this a good practice? Third, if I'm doing it right, why won't Access query return and fill my dataset?These are the results I'm getting.
[code]when I run my program and press this button Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles exceptionsButton.Click..I have my date range within a time that I know that my dataset should produce a result, but when I put a line break in my code here: adapter.Fill(ds)and look at it in debug, I show a table value of 0. If I run the same query that I have to produce these results in sql analyser, I see 1 result. Can someone see why my query on my form produces a different result than the sql analyser does? [code]I can also verify that the variables are passing the correct values. Can anyone please assist as to why this isnt working?
Code: Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class Main[code]....
and when I run my program, I have my date range within a time that I know that my dataset should produce a result, but when I put a line break in my code here:
Code: adapter.Fill(ds)
and look at it in debug, I show a table value of 0. If I run the same query that I have to produce these results in sql analyser, I see 1 result. Can someone see why my query on my form produces a different result than the sql analyser does? Also here is my schema for my two tables:
I have a dataset in my application that I fill using tableadapters like this: Class Form1: sub new() Database = new Database end sub
Class Database: sub new() tblLalalalaTableAdapter.Fill(DataSet.tblLalalala) end sub
I am told it is too early to call the tableadapter.fill method inside the constructor. If the database is unavailable now, the application won't even start. It will just kinda crash. What is the proper way to do this? When should I call the tableadapter.fill methods?
I have a varbinary(MAX) field in my MS SQL Server database. The SqlDataAdapter.Fill() method takes a relatively long time (in LAN). I want to show progress for the SqlDataAdapter.Fill() method itself, using a ProgressBar.
Note: I know how to deal with UI controls and how to implement multi-threading.
i would like to know something more relating to parameters. i have always been adviced to use parameters but i am bit confused as to how to use parameters while filling a dataset like if i am using a oledbcommand i can always use paramters but how do i parameterise the following :
i am using the above code to filter a list in the dgv as a help dialog for the selection of a master.my prob. is the now xFilter is to be typed in a regional language. so it is bound to have an ' as a character at some point or the other and if that comes in the char. then it will b giving me an error.. so how do i use it as a parameter ?
myCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT VisitorID, VisitorName, Skill FROM tblVisitor LEFT JOIN tblSkill ON tblVisitor.SkillID = tblSkill.SkillID", myConnection) myAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(myCommand)[code]....
then it catch an error as Incorrect Syntax near". which it points to myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "tblVisitor") not the Select command.
I recently updated an app that I wrote to allow the clients to run the app in read only mode disconnected from the database by serializing the typed dataset, and when they are offsite/offline instead of connecting to the database the serialized dataset is loaded. This has been working great and then I hit a major snag.
A majority of the graphs and reports are based on sql views that are typed views in the dataset. Of course offlline the tableadapters cannot run the sql views.
Does anyone know a way to run/fill the view with the already loaded dataset? I can add rows clientside so I'm inclined to believe there must be some way to fill the view clientside but I've been at this for a number of hours now and not making any real progress.
When I use a command such as: Me .TableAdapter.Fill(Me.SomeDataSet.Table)
I am going out to the database, gathering the requested information and filling the dataset. Therefore, everytime I add a query to a table adapter, it is also going to the database to get the information. So, my question is, how do I fill a table in a data set with all the records in the database table and then, filter the information I've already collected in the dataset without going back out to the database again?
I am designing a form to Enter new City Name list where i accept following fields
CityName, District, State, Country, Pin.
because a State names and Country names can be retrived from earlier entries, i want to allow user to select desired name from a list in combo box or a list in Auto Complete Custom Source for text box, to do this i have added a Table Adapter to underlying DataSet having Query "SELECT DISTICT STATE FROM CITY ORDER BY STATE".
Now, how do i use this Table Adapter to fill the ComboBox List without binding
I am new to Visual Basic and I'm trying to make a simple combo box that automatically populates from dataset. The table is from BaseMaterial with the column Material.
I'm trying to populate a combo box with a dataset, this sort of works, but everything is just appearing on the same line. I think this answer might be to put the dataset into an array, then put the array into the combo box.
...problem is, I'm not sure how to do this! My code thus far is,
Dim usernameList As Array 'Retrieve usernames where player has available status GetFilteredData()
I am trying to get my head around datasets, etc. The following code pulls data from an sql server and stores it in a data set. I then set the grid's datasoure to this data set. Now I want to populate a combo box on 'form load' with information from a field (surname) within the authors table.How do I approach this? I can do it in design mode but I want to do it in code as I feel you get a better understanding of what is happening under the hood.
I'm using Visual Basic 2010. I have my dataset in my program. I'm have several combo boxes on the form that I was able to bind the particular table with the information from each table to most of the combo boxes by dragging and dropping them onto the combo boxes. However, one combo box in particular must be populated by code. When a user selects, let's say "a" from one combo box, I need the next combo box to display information in certain tables only, based upon their choices in the previous combo box.
I am trying to create a combo box that would display data from a dataset, and also a 'Please Select' as the first item. I have written the following code which derives from a combo box and it works fine in visual studio 2003 but in 2008 would not display the comboboxtext (which is 'Please select').
Public Class DoubleDataSourceCombo Inherits ComboBox Dim myDataTable As DataTable
I am writing a school project in VB2005 and am trying to hook up a second combo box that gets its information of what to display from the first combo box. My application is where a student takes a "test" but they can choose what instructor they want in the first combo box. From there, they choose from a test of what each instructor offers in the second combo box. As of right now, my first combo box works great and my second combo box has nothing in it. Just a note, when I debug, it shows my iUserID value as 0.
I have a form that i am using for my ticket software where i am wanting to take the section combo box an have it only display the sections out of my dataset. here is something like i am wanting to do. this is my data table
Section Row No. Seat No. A A 2 A A 4 A A 6
Then it go to
A B 2 A B 4
I want to have a combo box for each one Section, Row#, Seat# and when I drop down the box for section it will just give me the section and then when I go to the Row# box and drop it down it will give me just the rows in that section and then in the seat box it just gives me the seats in that row.
I am trying to populate a combo list box with the results of a web service. The web service returns a dataset with two columns. I want to display column one to the user and capture column two with the user selection of an item from the combox.right now I can display the first column and capture the selection.Not sure how to add the connection of column two, to the combo box and capture the selection
Code so far.... myDataSet1 = proxy3.listSuppLang() Dim x As Integer
Visual studio 2005 - vb.net..I have a user control on a form containing 15 combo boxes.All contain Y, N, and blank (for Yes, No, or blank) in the Items Collection property.Each of the combo boxes have a binding source to the same table, different fields.When you select a value Y, N, or blank for any of the fields and do a save, the values save while the application is open.Once you close and reopen, the values are gone.It appears the dataset does not recognize the change, so the values are not getting stored in the database table. Is there something I can do or put in one of the events that would identify this as a change.
