View 1 RepliesI have a DataGridView which populates from an SQL query just fine in default mode
using these table names
[firstName] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
[lastName] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
[code]....
I have edited the column headers and set the column names to the same values as my table names yet the data is not showing in form load I have set datagridview.AutoGenerateColumns = False I know the data is there if I delete datagridview.AutoGenerateColumns = False then the data is shown with the default headings?
[Code] my issue is that now i need two cases, first i need a query that will return the date created and modified of the table and i also need to know if its possible to query a list of table names in the database ordered by date created but that have a certain thing in their names. for example the database contains the following tables: [Code] and what i need the query to return is the tables that contain "Data", settings and employees are for the other functions of the program. so the query should return the 4 data tables in order of date created. but i have no idea how to go about doing that in the query, does anyone know how this is done?
View 6 Repliesi recently posted a code that i had that i needed assistance for and it was solved it was for displaying all tables in a database.but now i have this code for showing all column names in a table i was in the process of turning it from oledb to sqlclient. GetOLedbSchema can be turned to getschema but when it comes to OleDbSchemaGuid
Public Shared Function getAllColumnNames(ByVal tblname As String) As String()
Dim com As New SqlCommand

I'm trying to get the list of field names for a given table, to turn them into a string which I can to post back as a variable to another function.I've Googled loads of stuff regarding GetSchemaTable but all I seem to be able to output are field parameters, but not the actual value of these parameters (ie ColumnName, which is the one I actually want!)
Found this page; What is the SQL command to return the field names of a table?But all the queries on there give me an error "You do not have access to Table 'Columns'"I feel sure this is pretty simple, can someone give me a little function that will simply give me fieldNames = "fieldName1, fieldName2, etc"I am using a MySQL server and ODBC connections ASP.NET using VB.
I'm trying to have a ListBox show a list of tables available in a database. This can then be selected to be used later on.My problem is getting the actual table name to show up. I have the connection to the mysql database working properly, but it just shows "System.Data.DataRowView"

I have a vb express 2010 program where users submit issues to different persons. The issue is emailed to teh selected persons and also saved in SQL on a server. Question is if they select multiple names from the list box to send the messsage to, how do I insert the multiple names into the SQL table? Here is the insert command I use. It will insert one name but will only do one if multiple names are selected. What am I missing?

I am using OledDb to create/retrieve/delete data from Access databases. At one point in the solution, I the user adds data to a new table and the table name is defined by the user. The obvious problem with this is that the user could add spaces, characters, and Access/SQL keywords that are not allowed in the table name. Later in the solution, the user should be able to identify their saved table and retrieve it. I have considered the brute force method of formatting the input to remove offending characters and then reformat for the user's view, but that seems like something I would like to avoid. I have also considered placing restrictions on the textbox with masks, key event restrictions, and checks for conflicts with keywords, but I would also like to avoid that. So, my question is, does anyone have a creative solution for identifying a table name with something like 'my name is table number *1'?

View 6 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to do this or if it is even possible. I believe it should be, I have about 20 different tables with different amounts of columns in each table. I.E. One table might only have 4 columns while another might have 30 columns. What I am trying to do is create 1 sub/funtion that will handle the select and import for all 20 different tables, unfortunately for me I can't seem to figure out how to write this.
I know the select statement for getting the column names is :
SELECT column_name FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns where TABLE_NAME = 'table'
I have made a Database.mdf that contains a table that Includes 3 diffrent Column Names.
1:"ID" This one i set to an primary key and i have also made it automaticlly put a number in order to the list. Like 1,2,3,4,5 for each data added. Data Type for this is int.
2:"WordCombination" Were i enter my word combination that i want it to look for)
3."TypeofCombination" Were i enter what the program should add to what i typed in texbox1 if it contains the WordCombination.
I want my program to se if texbox1 contains any of those WordCombinations in my database. And if thats true, Then i want it to show whats in the TypeofCombination + the text in texbox1 in texbox2. If i enter "What do you want ?" in Textbox1 i want the program to find that "What do you want ?" contains "you want" like in ID:1 WordCombination:you want. So becuse this is ture it should enter TypeofCombination in this case "Question:" + what i entered in Textbox1 to show in Textbox2.So if i write "What do you want ?" and click start. Textbox2 should show "Question: What do you want ?" If i Write "My name is Jake" and click start. Textbox2 should show "Answer: My name is Jake".If I Write "hello you Hi there Jacob" and click start. Textbox2 should show "Greeting: hello you Hi there Jacob".And i Should be able to add and delete Word Combinations Without having to change the program.
I have a Microsoft Access database that I connect to with the Jet Database Engine, using VB.NET. I want to programmatically get all of the column names for a particular table [code]...
Is this possible in Access? If not, what are my options for getting the column names?
For my app users can enter a SELECT statement themselves. This can be any select statement at all, it will be mainly used for creating a quick view e.g. SELECT * from table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 on table1.id = table2.id.
Whatever this select statement maybe I load it into a datatable (after checking for no nasty stuff of course) in vb.net. I want to know the table names so I can query the database again for validation purposes on things like datatypes etc.
da.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand(sqlStatement, tempDB.Connection)
da.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey
dt = New DataTable
da.Fill(dt)

I'm trying to produce a repeater showing amounts of money taken by various payment types into a table.Payment types available come from a global settings file as an array, I am creating a dataTable by looping this list and extracting sales reports (there might be a more efficient way than this loop, but this is not my concern at the minute).My question: How do I bind this to a repeater and display it when I dont necessarily know the table column namesI've tried various methods to give the table a header row and give the columns numerical names from a for > next loop, but am either getting no results, orystem.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name '7'. < or whatever numberThis is where I currently am:
EDIT: JUST REALISED MY CODE WAS AWFUL, SO UPDATED:

View 3 RepliesI have multiple file upload boxes on a form in my mvc3 application. Request.Files shows 3 files when I put a break point in the below function and look at it.. Problem is other than coding a counter and using a select case I dont see a way to handle saving each file name to the database column it belongs to... Is there away to assign the variable on the fly I guess you could say So that the foreach loop would drop the file in the correct column. Ie handoutFile1, handoutFile2 , handoutFile3, Etc. As it stands the below will overwrite the filename in handoutfile1 every time the loop is gone through. I thought about throwing a counter in the loop and just put a select case on it to assign the db column based on the counter number. Seems like a cheap work around though. [Code]

I am doing work for a client who has lost the source code for one of their VB.Net WinForms applications. The assembly they have is not obfuscated at all. I am trying to recover as much of the source as I can as C# source and have tried several tools for decompiling assemblies, including Reflector, ILSpy and JustDecompile (all the latest versions), but they all produce code with a huge number of errors in them. Because of the large number of errors in the generated code, I am going to ask about the specific errors (in different questions), get more directed answers and in this way try shed some light on why all the tools are having difficulty decompiling this assembly. This question pertains to the fact that the code generated by all these tools always have a large number of invalid member variables (fields) such as the following:
private short $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$nHeight;
private ArrayList $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts;
private StaticLocalInitFlag $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts$Init;
why the generated code has these invalid member variables?
