I am new to using VB.NET, I've come from developing using MS Access.
I have started a project that will load csv/txt files into SQL Server, I have a form that has a browse for file and this will then display the csv/txt file name in a text box once chosen. How is it posible to use an ADO connection send the csv/txt file into a table within my database.
Can anyone give me little help to get the basics of creating code to import the csv/txt files.
Does anyone has a sample code that do like,Open and select excel file and select the exact excel sheet to import then connect to SQL server 2008 and append all the data from the certain sheet to the SQL table?
I am trying to do something fairly simple.. allow my user to import thier data from Excel into SQL Server, where it can be used by the application.To do this, I'm using the fairly simple code that is common everywhere I look:
Now, on my development computer this code works perfectly. The data imports, and I can go on my merry way.
On the TEST computer, this code throws the error: "ODBC -- Connection to {SQL Server} servernamesqlservername failed." This seems very odd to me, because I'm using exactly the same SQL Server and database to interact with the application, and all the other screens in the application work perfectly. The test computer CAN connect to this SQL Server, but it keeps throwing this error whenever I try import data from Excel.I've tried everything I can think of - using the server's IP address instead of the server name, sending the SQL Server administrator data along with the request, taking out the Trusted_Connection=Yes... nothing works. What is going on here? How can this code work fine on my computer, and hiccup on another?
i m trying yo import a csv file tabed csv file with following code it works well just prob is that it just enters first row from the table later i get message connection was not closed connection is in open state yet , n nothing else..[code]
I'm using VB.NET 2005 RC and I have built a custom component which consists of a search screen, data grid, dataset etc. The whole project is designed to be imported in to any new application as a custom control which can then be programmatically changed via its methods, events etc. When I tried to import the .dll in to a new windows forms project all the extra stuff contained in my project was also magically imported (such as the dataset I had used, the SQL connection) etc.I have set these their modifier to be private but still they are imported.
What can I do so when a developer imports this custom control in to their toolbox for use, only the control is shown? Otherwise it looks a bit weird to have access to the dataset I'm using with access to the dataset I'm using within the control.
which file i should install in our windows server 2003 for it to support the windows 2003 server should i download the all framework (200+ mb i think) ?
how to import access data into sql server using vb.net? I want to create a openfiledialog and allow user to choose which access file to be imported into the server.
Everything seems to imports ok until i look at the data in more detail, this is when I notice its imported the data but in the wrong order.
for some reason when I look at the db table all records are in the wrong order, and strangely enough it seems to be a different order every time I import things.
Is there a way to force the routine to import the data in the same order as the it is in the excel file?, because at the minute it seems to have a mind of its own[code]...
Does anyone know how to import exel data into sql server using vb.net? I want to create a openfiledialog and allow user to choose which exel file to be imported into the server.
I am getting a complex XML sheet which I intend to upload in SQL server table. I do not know how to do it? I am using visual basic.net 2008 and sql server 2008 R2. The XML file shown below has seven days weather forecast. I do not need some of information from this file like PRECIPITAION information.
I am not sure what is the procedure to parse XML and import it in SQL table.
I want following info out of it,
1) Weather Update Date & Time (common for all seven days)
We have an old legacy SQL 2000 server (the last in the farm) - We've been unable to get rid of this server as it uses xp_findnextmsg, xp_readmail etc to monitor a mailbox (via mapi) and import all email to that address into a database. The database contains simple tables that store "from", "to", "subject", "body", "Sent Date" & so on.As you may know, the procs above are no longer in use in SQL 2005+This table is read from dozens of internal systems, for instance emails to this mailbox can be automatically picked up by our helpdesk systems & create calls etc.My question is this: what it the easiest / modern way of doing this in SQL 2008+? Is it going to be a case of writing a .net binary / service that will use smtp or something to connect to a mailbox and insert the data into SQL or is there a simpler way to do it? (SSIS / 3rd party tools / pre-existing code / projects?)
Just thought I'd ask before i start writing something - no point re-inventing the wheel as it were.
PS: The Mailbox in question is an exchange 2010 mailbox.Edit: This functionality was hinted to be re-introduced in 2008 & dbmail: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/126167/xp-readmail-replacement-for-sql-2005 but it looks like it failed to materialise!
Edit 2: I've just found a decent code sample here that utilises the new web services in exchange 2007+: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqltools/thread/dd2b465b-b1d2-4c0d-82ec-c36c6c482d5d - experimenting in progress (has anyone ever worked with SQL and the Exchange web services?)
Edit 3: All done! I knocked up a .net service that sits on our exchange server and monitors a mailbox & pushes any new mail into SQL. Incase others have a similar question and need some sample code to get started - here is some rough code (chopped out of my service - replaced parameterised SQL with basic dynamic SQL for easy reading): (Note: you'll need the EWS API 1.1 dll)
I'm looking for a solution to import or link logs (csv and txt files) to Access using ODBC. These files are in a directory and I would like to link each of them to a table in Access to analyze their content. I'd like to use ODBC rather than the Access' Import Wizard because I want to keep the possibility to change the format and/or delimiters of my files if necessary.I settled an ODBC Driver "Microsoft Access Text Driver" but when I try to open the connection in Access, I get the error "You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to or link an external Microsoft Office Access or ISAM database table to your database".This connexion works perfectly in Excel and enable me to get the data in an excel spreadsheet. I'd like to do the same from Access to use Access' functionalities!
everytime I import some file to my program, like a picture, I write down the ImageLocation, but if after the program is ready I delete the picture or send the program to a friend who hasn't the same picture at the same location...
Is there anyone here who can help me with my problem in importing text file using vb.net and then after the importing, the imported data will be insert in sql server?
I need to get a text file into a blank datatable that already exists. The table has its column names already so I need to insert the data into the fields. The text file is set up as so for example:
I've been trying to write code to import Excel files into a SQL Table using the following code (url...) with little success.
This is a VB.Net app using Visual Studios 2008 with SQL Server 2008 on a Vista Ultimate 64 machine.
The runtime error encountered is: "COMException was unhandled...Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."[code]...
Why are there no examples that I can find on how to import an excel range into SQL Server, there are plenty of example on how to import the whole spreadsheet but none for the range? I find this wierd.
What I need to do is import an excel named range into a sql table using vb.net. I have been able to import the range from excel to access but not to sql server. I used the many examples that are on the web using OLEDB for the connection part and ODBC for the command. However I continually get the cannot find and installable ISAM. I have excel 2003 and Excel 2007 on the box.
I know this can be done using SQL Server SSIS package, which I have used before, however you have to install certian SQL Server features on the box that is running the application for this to work. I want my application to be able to run on any box that it is installed on without the need for the SQL Server features to be installed.
How can I import all files within the boot c:\ drive, in listview? it has to be something like a openfiledialog window but then evrything in a list view. I have alredy this in a console aplication but this only load the systemfiles.
how I could go about making a simple little program in Visual Basic 2010 that has a button you click with drop down menu beside it to search for an excel or sql file on your computer and then you select it. Then you click a button saying "import into sql" or a different button saying "export to excel."
These buttons would of course do what they say... either importing the chosen excel file into sql or exporting the sql file into excel.
