I'm trying to create a simple Data Grid that will automatically save changes. So far I have a data grid connected to a MS Access 2007 Database that reads the data. I can create new fields in the Data Grid, but I need to program to save the data automatically to the database on update (or on close).
View 6 RepliesI am a co-op student learning vb.net and I have a project which retrieves data from an xml file within the program (based on selections made from combo boxes) and calculates and displays prices.[code]I have one combobox that loads data from the Processes section just fine, but then another uses the same method and gets an "IndexOutOfRange" error or "Column AB12345Bed_Size Not Found" even though I am using the same method for both. For "Processes" I am using DataView.Sort on "<12345Material_Process>" which reflects the selecteditem in the combobox. The program retrieves that row without a problem. [code]

View 8 RepliesI had a copy of Visual Studio Professional on my old computer years ago, but decided against getting it on my new PC. Instead, I downloaded Microsoft's free offerings in the Express editions (C++, VB being the ones I am somewhat familiar with and interested in continuing).
I recently thought of an application that I would like to create, but am concerned that Visual Basic Express won't be able to handle it. I don't quite know what it means when 'they' say that Express can't work with remote data, so I will describe my application and let you tell me if I need to go ahead and get a pay-for version of VB.
a) USB temperature probe (like the one you used in high school chemistry, if you're young enough...) in fish tank, plugged into PC.
b) VB Express app intercepts the data stream and reads the temperature. (I can figure out numerical conversions if necessary using the Logger software which comes with the probe, and excel, if my VB application is showing numbers that follow a pattern with the temperature)
c) Application compares the temperature to the user-defined hi/low settings.
d) Application communicates wirelessly with an X10 Lamp Module, turning on or off the outlet, which is the same as turning on or off the 7.5 watt 'dumb' heater (no on/off switch; you plug it in to turn it on).I've seen ActiveX controls and code examples online that tell you how to code for X10 in visual basic)
I built the sample project "How Do I" Data Access and ran into a problem adding, updating or deleting records. The project works like a champ until this step... It will let me delete, change or add records just fine, but when I save and close project and go back to my "show table data" in the database explorer nothing has changed?

I wish to know what location does the "|Data Directory|" in "|Data Directory|XYZ.sdf" that shows in the connection string when I create a dataConnection using the wizard in VB 2010 Express. Is it the Application's directory in Program Files or is it the AppData folder of the client computer.If it is the Application Directory in Program Files then the client user wont be able to write to the database without Admin rights. If so how do I make a dataConnection to a file in the AppData folder using the new data connection wizard.

I'm trying to print from VB Express but it seems to be so difficult. I tried the printform component only to see the end result being blurred. I have data in one table (which will be used as the header) and data in another table (the body) which I need to print out. Seeing that the express edition does not have any reporting capabilities, I turned to several other open-source projects providing "free" reporting tools, such as MyNeoReport. MyNeoReport is acclaimed to be so good but the developer lacks a detailed tutorial for it. And the tutorial's I did manage to find are all in C#. Not helping.
How do I go about printing the data? The design is simple. Extract the company information from table A to display as the header, extract the body from table B to display as the results. I also need to calculate the totals of the body and add it to the footer or bottom of the report body. I can't seem to find any relating forums or questions similar to mine on any forum. Currently on the form, I've got a few labels, textboxes and a listview. I know I need to load the filtered data into a data grid at some point.
Is it possible to give me a detailed example of how to do this? I'm really frustrated with this whole printing thing. I don't have the finances to buy these other reporting products and the one's claimed to be free all comes with a price-tag in the small print.

Basically, I want the user to be able to select any file type and the program will read the data and store it in a text box. The user would then input a key, push the encrypt button and the program would XOR each byte of data with each character from the key and store the data in the third text box. I have written a program that has similar functionality only, it will not read from files, it simply reads data from a text box, so I have a encryption algorithm that works.Here is my

What is the best way to set the default value for 'bit' or boolean data types in SQL express? I am using the data base explorer in VB Express 2008 and the only way I seem to be able to do it is by using ((0)) for false and ((1)) for true.
View 1 RepliesI have started a form application using visual studio 2010 express, vb programming. I'm using Access as my database.My goal is to have ComboBox1 display a ProjectID and ComboBox2 display a TestNumber. Once the Test Number is selected I want my textboxes in the form to display fields from the row that the selected Test Number is in.I have 2 tables set up right now "Projects" and "TestData". The "Projects" table has a [ProjectID] field, the remaining fields are just misc. project data. The "TestData" table also has the [ProjectID] field, and then the [TestNumber] field, then the remaining fields are misc. data.
Filling [ProjectID] in textbox1 is easy, in the properties I select DataSource from the Projects table, display [ProjectID] field. Where I'm having troubles is ComboBox2 displaying the TestNumber from the other "TestData" table. If I select that field, it fills the ComboBox with EVERY TestNumber there is. So for Project 1 there is a test 1... over 500 projects, that combobox lists 500 Test 1's, no way to tell what project it belongs to...How do I make ComboBox2 only display Test Numbers that pertain to the Project number selected in ComboBox1?Using this code I can get it to work:
Dim ProjectNo, SQLString As String
Dim dtTableData As New DataTable()
Dim dbDataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter
[code]....
I also imported system.data.oledb Problem with this code is it will only filter data in ComboBox 2 but when you make your selection from ComboBox2 it won't activate the row so none of my databinding textboxes fill anymore. Before the code/query is ran it fills up the textboxes perfectly after every selection I just have no idea what project that report number belongs to because the whole field is displayed in the dropdown. I can fill the form with ComboBoxes and they display the corresponding row data because I use a "datasource" instead of textbox "databindings" but I don't want to use 20 comboboxes as my entry form...
It has been a long time since I have programmed. What I need to find out is how to make my VB 2008 Express Edition program read a text document so that I can alter the text. What I have been doing instead is cutting-and-pasting the whole text into a TextBox by hand and then writing:
t = TextBox1.text
and using mid() to find parts of variable t.I am not sure that this will work though because some of the files are very big (as much as 583 Kb. (I am unsure how much data can be put into a single variable.

I'm getting ready to learn about the data models available, and am having trouble navigating the info I find.Is it best to develop the data within the SQL CE environment, or does that require the end-user to download additional libraries/programs? Is there a better data model for my needs (not much complex data processing, but a sizable amount of records/tables)?

I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 in Windows 7(64-Bit). I've added a datasource to my project and dragged a table from Data Sources onto my form. It automatically created a DataViewGrid and placed this statement in my form load event:

The DataGridView shows all the correct fields/columns. The .DataSource property for the DataGridView is set to the automatically created BillsBindingSource. When I preview the BillsTableAdapter, the data appears. But data does not appear when I run the app. The datagridview is empty.
