How To Load A Datagridview With Data From Excel (dynamically)
Feb 7, 2010
I was wondering if there is any way to load data from excel sheet into a datagridview in VB2008 dynamically. I have looked at few data connection codes but all of them involve the excel sheet and thw workbook name. Is there anyway that I enter the excel sheet name in a inputbox and the data from excel loads into datagridview without hardcoding the sheet name. I know data can be imported using the below code, here the programmer has to mention the excel workbook name, path and sheet name. [code]I am developing a program to perform some calculations and my data is in a number of excel workbooks and worksheets. I need to be able to bring the data from these excel sheets into the datagridview to perform calculations. So I was thinking if I could mention the excel sheet name in the GUI and then accordingly the data from that particular sheet would be loaded into the datagridview to perform calculations.

I'm using Excel as a database backend to load into a datagridview.
This is how I connect and bind to the dgv:
vb.net Dim sFileName = filelocation & "checks.xls"
Dim connectionStringTemplate As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"""
[CODE]...
It connects and populates fine. I have a button for the user to "refresh" the datagridview. I cannot get it to correctly refill the dgv. I have tried setting the bindsource.datasource to Nothing along with the datagridview datasource, but I get an error that brings up the Visual Studio debugger with no real error message...

I have a database that dynamically loads from Access into a datagridview. I have to enter data manually into one column in this datagridview. I need to be able to perform calculations to this data, for example I need to sum the data in this column, sqaure it and substract it from individual sqaures of the data in the cells. I should be able to sum it sum(22,33,44,53,67,23)^2-sum(22^2,33^2,...23^2). The number of columns keep changing depending on the database I choose to load, so I need to code this dynamically too. I am not really a VB person. I did the same in excel using Visual Basic and I am trying to do it in this Visual Basic environment.I built a tool in excel(VBA) that do some statistical calculations and data analysis and I am trying to build the same in Visual Basic.

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. How can I do this upon loading all of this to listview. I have here an example on how i load data from .txt(csv) format but i need an excel on how to load data coming from excel.[code]...

DataAdapter1.SelectCommand = Sql2 ''database load
DataAdapter1.Fill(ds2, "products") ''dataset
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds2

All I want is to update the selected row data in form1 to another form2
Form1 Objects
Form1 = MainAppForm
DataGridView = DGVMain <= binded
Button = btnUpdate
Form2 Objects
Form2 = frmUpdate
Button = btnSubmit
15 textBoxes = you can see its name in the code below and all of them are data binded
MainAppForm Code
Pass the selectedrow data to form2 (frmUpdate)
Private Sub btnUpdateDouble_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.Click
If DGVMain.SelectedRows.Count = 1 Then
Try
frmUpdate.ItemIDTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.PartTypeTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(1).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.PartNameValueTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(2).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.PackageTypeTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(3).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.QuantityTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(4).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.UnitTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(5).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.DescriptionTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(6).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.LocationTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(7).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.ProjectBoardTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(8).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.CommentsTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(9).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.OrderCodeTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(10).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.CurrencyTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(11).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.UnitPriceTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(12).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.SupplierTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(13).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.ManufacturerTextBox.Text = DGVMain.CurrentRow.Cells(14).Value.ToString()
frmUpdate.Show()
Catch ex As Exception
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
ElseIf DGVMain.SelectedRows.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox("Please select one item to update!", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Update")
Else
MsgBox("Updating multiple Items is not allowed!", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Update")
End If
End Sub
Form2 Code
I want to update the data by this code, but it refresh only the data in Form1
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.SparePartsBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.SparePartsTableAdapter.Update(Me.InventoryDBDataSet.SpareParts)
'Refresh
MainAppForm.SparePartsTableAdapter.Fill(MainAppForm.InventoryDBDataSet.SpareParts)
End Sub
No problem in updating the data if I put the code below in Form2 load event
Me.SparePartsTableAdapter.Fill(InventoryDBDataSet.SpareParts)
but the problem is, it will refresh all the data in the Form2, and my code in Form1 becomes useless.
Thanks in advance!

I'm following advice to load data to a DataTable, binding to a BindingSource then a DataGridView. But some exzamples I've found use a DataAdapter, not a DataTable. [code]

easy way to simply load the data from database into a datagridview with one of the columns being a comboboxcolumn. Apparently there is no selectedvalue, selectedindex or value as in a combobox to return the combobox value. What I need is to verify if the database value is 'true' and if it is then I need to set the comboboxcolumn with a specific value.
Ex:
if ds.tables(0).rows(0)("flag") = "true" then
datagridcolumn.selectedvalue = 1
else
datagridcolumn.selectedvalue = 0
end if

I have a DataGridView that I'd like to load with data that I'm retrieving from a SQLDataReader running in a background worker as the data comes in (it's a query that takes a long time). My goal is for the user experience to be similar to searching for a file in Windows where the results appear in the list as they come in and you can still interact with the window.
I have it working with a background worker and data reader and I'm trying to add the row from the SQLDataReader.Read through using the BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress method. Everything technically works but the flicker is crazy and the form is unusable (probably not because the GUI thread is blocked but just because there's so much going on...) How do I make loading the datagridview "smooth"?

I have searched the web and this site for an answer but have not been able to solve this problem.I am not able to place a flashing cursor in a specified cell of a data bound DataGridView on Form_Load.My test project consists of a single Visual Basic 2008 form with a database created in Microsoft SQL Express 2005 using the Add New Data Source in the Data Sources window.The database has one table consisting of 2 columns.Column 1 being the primary key with Identity Specification set to On.The second column is a VarChar50.The DataGridView was placed on the form by dragging it from the Data Sources window thereby creating the Binding Navigator and the Private_Sub Form_Load code.I have added the code that should put the cursor where I want it.[code]

I am using Visual Studio 2008 and looking for an efficient and hopefully straightforward approach for exporting data from a DataGridView to Excel. If doable, my preference would be to export the data to Excel without instantiating an Excel application. I found some code on the Microsoft support site that is fairly accessible but the example shows how to export just a few pieces of data. Would someone be able to demonstrate how to modify this code to so that it could be used for large amounts of data (for example, data from a DataGridView).
'Establish a connection to the data source.
Dim sConnectionString As String
sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _

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 ...
see code:
[Code].....
My problem is that whenever there are values below the heading of the cell the datagrid displays (null)
No matter what i do even converting the values in excel to text it does not display the heading of that column.
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.
