I am raw to this and have been plodding along slowly to get a little windows application working. I am having some issues when testing my application. I've included the sample code that I am using:

I believe this is referring to the connection string. I've set breakpoints and checked that the entry in the password is correct (and that there is a value in it).
Is there a way to display the connection properties dialog for connection string browsing(for database) in run time?
As I want the user to be able to connect to various database using the GUI.
After running the following sub (VS debugger), I try to detach the database in SSMS, but it shows the connection open still and won't let me detach. If I close program in debugger, the database shows no connections. I check the dataadapter's connection in the finally block and is shows closed. What gives

i am using access database for my program. now i have connected to the database in MDI form of main exe, and ir also works, user can log in, it gets verified etc etc etc. now here is the problem, when i load a form from dll and try to use any sql query on that form, i get message, "database connection is not opened". so what i did was, i added the connect() (a function i designed to connect to database) in the load part of the dll's form, it made the trick, query's started to run, everything went fine, and when i reload the form i.e after closing the form, i load it again from MDI form, i get error, connection already open..

i'm doing a project for school which requires me to make a fully functioning database program with validation. I'm done with almost everything except a few things and that includes the database, since i don't really know how to make validation rules and masked fields.It's possible i'm guessing to in forms and such but in datagrid view?

I am trying to copy a table in a database into another database on another connection in VB.NET, using OleDb. If they were on the same connection I would just use SELECT INTO, but they are not. I have two different OleDbConnection and cannot see an easy way to do this.
Right now I am attempting to just copy the database into a DataTable using an OleDbDataAdapter, and then loop through the DataTable and insert every record into the target database one at a time. This obviously takes a ton of time for the large DB I could potentially be dealing with, and I have to deal with escaping strings, null values, etc.
edit - just to make this more clear: I have two OleDbConnection objects, one is linked directly to a local .mdb file on my computer (JET). The other is linked to a database on our servers (SQLOLEDB). I am wanting to do this:
"SELECT * FROM fromDB INTO toDB"
But I can't because fromDB and toDB are on different connections, and the OleDbCommand object is only attached to one. The only way I can see how to do this is to connect to fromDB, copy it into a DataTable, connect to toDB, and copy all of the data in the DataTable row by row into toDB. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
I am trying to change my windows application I made in vb.net that uses an access database. I do not know where this database will be stored at this time so my plan is to set the connection using code based off a text file that points to the location of the database. Here is the code I have but I know there is something wrong with my syntax because it putting "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|IWS.mdb" in both the data source and the database name.[code]...

I wrote a small application in witch I create a connection to a database. I'm new to this, so I followed the steps in MSDN help. I first created a link to the database with the "Datasource" of the Visual Studio environement. Then, in the code, I create instances of the dataset in the datasource and use a tableAdapter to register my changes in the database.
Now I want to allow the user of the application to specify the path of the DB file he wants to use. How can I do so? Do I still can use the datasource in the VS environment? I don't know where to start.
im sure that there are plenty of people here that have the same problem as me, but i cant seem to find a forum that explains this to me. well basically i have a program i am creating to use as a phone list, but to save data to a database on a mapped hard drive. I want to give the user the option to set the path of the database just by typing it into a textbox. The database will be supplied with the program, with all appropriate tables, i just really would like to know how to set up a connection to a database using code, and to be able to display it into a datagrid veiw. I know this seems simple to you guys,and i am really sorry, i am just new at this.
and also if u could, could u describe to me how to make it search through the database for like certain names/numbers?

I've inherited an application that uses a global database sqlconnection object in order to access the database from every form in the application. The connection is established when the application starts.I think to have the connection open all the time it's not good practice and I would prefer to change it so I would open the database connection and close it every time I need to access the database.

I send the SqlCommand object to the method instead of a query string because I can add parameters to an SqlCommand object.
