I'm working on a program to catalog MP3s (I know, it's a tired thing that's been done to death), and want a better way to determine if a file has previously been added to my database. I have two datasets that are structurally identical. The first dataset is populated from the database and the second is populated via the application during the scan.
I then compare each record in the second dataset to the first with the following code:
Private Sub CompareDataSets(ByVal dsOriginal, ByVal dsNew)
Dim dv As DataView
Dim sFileName As String
Dim sPath As String
Dim bgFileSize As Long
[CODE]...
This method seems terribly inefficient and I'd much prefer being able to do a join of sorts off the two datasets and delete all records from the application populated dataset where there is a match.
First Dataset Dim sql As String sql = "SELECT payment.Debtor, SUM(Value_invoice) AS before_this_month,debtor.nama FROM Payment INNER JOIN dbo.debtor ON Payment.Debtor = debtor.debtor" & _
[code]....
Now i just want to either inner join or left join PaymentBeforeThisMonth and PaymentThisMonth into another dataset?
I want to create a lookup program for library books using VB6 or VB.net.
I have created a Form1.VB with two listboxes :- Listbox1 Listbox2.
Im using an Access Database with a Library Category Table Field1: Category
Library Title Table Field1: Category Field2: Title Field3: Author Field4: Publisher
Using the Data Adapter ConfigurationWizard Ive created
OleDBDataAdapter1 OleDBConnection1
And from the Library Category table Ive created Dataset1 attached to Listbox1
OleDBDataAdapter2
And from the Library Title table Ive created Dataset2 attached to Listbox2.
Both Datasets fill using the Preview Data function. I then load Variable CategoryString with Listbox1.text, and I would like to know how to search Dataset2 and retrieve all titles linked to that category and display Title, Author, Publisher in listbox2.
Iwant to join two tables,'Employee' and 'Dispatch'. Dispatch has column 'DispatcherID' and 'TechnicianID' which are both foregn keys to EmployeeID in Employee table.I want to join these two tables using EmployeeID so that i can obtain the matching name to each id.but it only works when i make a single join to either DispatcherID or TechnicianID and not for both.
[code]
select Employee.firstname+' '+Employee,secondname as Technician,Employee.firstname+' '+Employee.secondname as Dispatcher from Dispatch inner join Employee on Dispatch.TechnicianID=Employee.EmployeeID inner join Employee on
I need to print a card catalog using Vb.net like this format:I'll be using values form textboxes to be printed.I've already read this thread [URL] printing such in a more easy way to understand, I need to preview it first before printing.
generating a catalog number for a library system?It is one of the requirement of the panel in my thesis, though its not fits correctly but atleaast, there is suggestion given in a generated catalog.
I'd like to jump in and write a simple application to display fields related to my compact disk library (Disk#, Composer, Work, etc.) in a scrollable window. The current catalog in in a DOS/xBase format, but I can export it to Excel or Access. I am using VB within Visual Studio 2008. Any most effective VB command(s) to use? Is the indicated command used within a looping structure?
I am building a form that will load individual items(from individual files) or a catalog of items(from a list of items). I then click the item I want to use to select it. Everything works correctly, when I click an item it selects the correct stitch. The only problem is, it doesn't display correctly when I load from a catalog. I can open individual items and it works fine. When I load a catalog it doesn't display the images correctly.
I'm trying VB.Net 2010 in w7 on my new 64-bit PC. Thought I'd start with a media player. My problem is the exception that arises when I search for all MP3s on a drive. How do I get around/deal with the System.UnauthorizedAccessException' exception? A quick sub-program that I've written to illustrate the problem is:
Just found out the hardway that there is no longer support for Direcshow for VB.net and C#. Does anyone know other ways of playing mp3s in VB.net, or even video for that matter?
I am currently setting up my own media player and so far there is only one thing that is making me very unhappy/frustrated. I have searched google so much and still couldn't find the solution. Here is my problem. I'm trying to import MP3s into a ListBox and have that as my playlist using this code:
For Each Song As String In Import.FileNames playlist.items.add(Song) Next
The only problem with this code is that it displays the song's full path in the list box. What I'm trying to do is just bring in the name of the MP3 without showing the path and still have the song play.
I have created an ASP.NET Website using VB.NET ASP.NET 4.0. Thing is, I want my visitors to hear some nice piano music as they browse my site. Now I don't know how to embed and play mp3s on an ASP.NET Website. So I need help with that.Further, if the website visitor changes pages, music should pick up where it left off before the page change. how to do this?
I'm trying to make it so one can search the title of a song: Let's say 50 Cent - Many Men. One hits search, and it searches certain mp3 sites for the song, collects the names of the file name to be downloaded from certain sites, drops them into the listbox, and one can right click the song title extracted in the listbox & click download or save.
I already have code to read ID3v1 and v2 tags. That's not the problem. I open an IOStream, locate the ID3v2 header and pull the bytes out. Handling unicode was a bit of a sod, but I got it working.
What I don't understand is how to remove an ID3v2 tag or write one out. ID3v1 is easy - just truncate the file, then append some bytes. Simple. But ID3v2 tags don't have to be at the start of the file, do they? It's conventional, but by no means mandatory. If I just crop the entire ID3 out of the file, and close the gap, will that work? And then, to write my own tags, should I just write the bytes to the front of the file? Or do I need to update other bits of the file so the player will know where the audio data has moved to?
Also, do I need to use unsynchronisation? How can I tell if I need to?
I've looked on CodeProject; I've googled; and I've read the specification on id3.org - which, by the way, is less than clear! For example, it says that the "Extended header size" can be 6 or 10 bytes in length. So um....how am I supposed to know which one? Is there some magic way of determining how many bytes this value is being stored as?

Is there a way that I can play MP3 files in my program without using the Windows Media Player codec that still allows to play/pause and stop the music?
i was wondering what may be the difference between an "initial catalog" and a "database" in the context of a connection string?also, as a second question, i was wondering do we have to explicitly close adapters(SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter) or set the variable to = Nothing after using it?
I'm trying to work with an ODBC driver for Interbase in VS2008 (vb). I succesfully inserted the data tables I want to use in the project datasource. Then I want to add some rows in one of the tables of the datasource. I used myDataSet.addTABLENAMErow(field1, field2, ...).The compiler gives me no error, but when I open the database with InterbaseConsole, the line I've add is not there. Do I do something wrong? Must I open/save the database (how do I do so). I've tried meDataSet.AcceptChanges whitout result.I'm not used to work with Datasets and tables...
I'm trying to combine two datasets, each with 1 datatable and each having the same schemas. Datatable 1 would have a list of records. Datatable two may, or may no, have some or all of the records from table 1 plus more records. I would like to remove all the records from table 2 that are present in table 1.
This is what I got so far: For Each table1 As DataTable In ds.Tables For Each row1 As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Rows ds.Tables(0).PrimaryKey = New DataColumn() {ds.Tables(0).Columns(0)} 'Where 0 is the index of the column that's your key row2 = ds2.Tables(0).Rows.Find(row1("ID")) 'if its found, delete it Next Next
I have a dataset that contains only employee ID's. I need to loop through that dataset and for each employee ID I need to loop through several other datasets and pull data. I need help with this looping syntax. Here is a sample of some code that I am receiving an error with:
Dim EMPID as Integer Dim CommandEmpid As New OleDb.OleDbCommand Dim EmpidDS As New DataSet
I have a form that needs to load data for 20 different combo boxes - the data is always the same. To get the combo boxes to function properly i need to create a separate dataset for each combo box. Doing this when the form loads takes it about 7 seconds each time a search result is double clicked and the form pops up displaying the correct data. The form is bound to the main table. Is there a way to store these data sets in memory somewhere so the user can close the form but still have them loaded? I can put this code behind the login form and it works until the form is closed, then the combo's no longer load.[code]
i want to check if datasets have changes and after that use msgbox (vbYesNoCancel) when program closes ,when i wrote this code it had error "Operator 'Or' is not defined for types 'System.Data.dataset' and Boolean"..[code]
I want to use my main dataset (dbds) on a second form. It's simple, on my main form, the user clicks a button, opens a new form, they enter an item number and I want to find that row, and change a value in another column of that same row, and have that be in effect onthe main dataset to send back to the database.[code]...
I have declared a dataset (let's call it 'Fred') as public in a VARs module. In the main form in a sub routine called at the start of the project I connect to an Excel spreadsheet and read it into the 'Fred' dataset into one table (called 'Table') I then bind the dataset table to a datagridview and I can see the spreadsheet. Which is very nice :-)
Having loaded the dataset I want to be able to get some values so I created a button and used the following
msg = Fred.Tables("Table").Rows(0).Item("Name")
I think this should get the value in the first row and in the column called 'Name' in the table called 'Table'
But I get an error when I click the button 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' which I think means I need to use the 'New' keyword...
So I added to the button
Dim Fred = New DataSet
But I get the same error.
Now I have to admit that I've never really got my head around how to use the 'New' keyword and would have hoped to be able to get data from a dataset through my entire project - especially as I've declared it as 'Public'. Surely if I use 'New' all over the place then I create new datasets
