It is not so hard to get the field names from a database via GetOleDbSchemaTable and OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns. It works fine. The field names come i alphabetical order though. I really need them in the correct field no order.
Used code:
connection.Open()
Dim schemaTable As DataTable = _
connection.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, tblname, Nothing})
[Code].....
I have the following code to get the column names from my Microsoft Access database.THE PROBLEM is that the stupid thing orders it alphabetically for me. How do I get it to put the columns in order the way they are in the database?[code]I've also tried a different approach with a string array and for loop to "make it" go to the beginning, but proves my point that its stupid enough to order it for me.
View 3 RepliesI have a databound Datagridview. The DGV is bound to a datatable of a strongly typed DataSet created using the wizard. Is there any way to re order the columns before displaying them eg: the Columns are displayed in the DGV in this other Col4, Col6, Col3, Col1,Col5, Col2
But I want to it to show as Col1, Col2, col3, Col4, Col5, Col6?
I realise that the display order followed the Column order in the database table and by extension, the datatable. I have re-arranged the columns in the Database but the Datatable still retains the old order.
I 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?
I have this error when I run my program Can not update order id field not updateable, This happens when I try to enter data into a text box and press save. to my data grid.
View 9 RepliesI'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 want to write a routine that loads a table (or query) and outputs it to a text file, with the field names in the first row.If I load the data via an adaptor class into a datatable, I can access the field names by something like DataTab.Columns(i).ColumnName.
As I only want to read the data from the table, using SqlDataReader would be more efficient. But how can I then find what the header or column names are? The following code fails with a message that the SqlDataReader class does not have a member called 'Columns ':
Dim sqlCmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(SQL, Connection)
Connection.Open()
Dim Reader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader()
Dim FName0 As String = Reader.Columns(0).ColumnName() '<==FAILS
Is there a way to find the column names of an SqlDataReader object?

View 2 Repliescreate a mailing list of my students with the usual lastname, firstname, address, city, state, etc. This all works fine - except that I'm getting multiple records for the same family when they have more than one children in our database. So, ideally, I would like to be able to group by the family name (which is grouped in a seperate Family table then linked to the student table by familyid), then in the second field list each child of that family separated by a comma.
View 1 RepliesI posted in the Database development forum, but no bites. I have field names in my Access table which have a number as the first character (i.e. "2x2"). Evidently, the DataAdapter doesn't like this. I'm able to view the data in a DataGridView, but I get an exception when I use DataAdapter.Update.
Can I modify my sql statement to make the command builder work or do I have rename the fields?
For example:
"SELECT [2x2] as twoBytwo..."
Changing the names of the fields would be a huge pain-in-the-arse!
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:

Dim paymentTable As New DataTable("paymentTable")
For j = 0 To UBound(paymentTypes)
