Join Datatables For Local Reporting
Aug 15, 2011
I don't know how to join multiple datatables created in Designer in 1 single Datatable. I need 1 Datatable with all data in it so I can give that single Datatable to one single Tablix in ReportViewer (rdlc). Problem: ReportViewer Tablix can accept only one datatable at time and I need them all at once in one tablix.
How did I get stuck here:* I have added Dataset from Solution Explorer to my Project (ds1). Double click on that item gave me Dataset Designer (ds1.xsd). Here I have created 4 Datatables with all needed columns, mutually connected with parent-child relationships (one to many, nested). dt1 is parent to dt2, dt2 is parent to dt3, dt3 is parent to dt4 (dt1 > dt2 > dt3 > dt4).
On my forms I have binded all my controls to this 4 Datatables and their respective columns so the data is populated hierarchically to dataset (as planed). I have added ReportViewer Control to one form for reporting purposes and Design a new report (rdlc)...As I have read in past few days (read: week or two) I need to Join all my datatables to one single (flated) datatable somehow and then feed that DataTable to my Report.
So basically I have 2 questions: 1. How to join my 4 datatables? Can I do it from Designer or I must do it in code? 2. If I cant do joining from Designer how will I see this new datatable with all columns from my Report? If I wanna add a Dataset/DataTable to my Report I go to Tab Report Data - New - Dataset - comboTo SelectExistingDatasets and if Datatable/Dataset is not created in Designer I can not see it here to add it to work with it.

I'm having a hard time joining 2 datatables and have the joined datatable as result. First datatable (labels) holds data including a printerid. Second datatable (printers) holds printer references (id > unc). I would like to have as endresult (joined) a datatable with all data from the first datatable with the field (unc) of the second datatable. [Code]

I have two datatables which I intends to bind them to Gridview. But I need bit of the first dt and bit from second dt.
Second table has only one row that represents to every row in the same column in first table.
There is no primary key or relationship between two tables though.
For example,
I tried datatable.merge though. Didn't produce the last table i want.

How To Join Two Datatables From Different Datasets (With One Commn Column) ???

I have two UNTYPED datatables: "Shelfs" and "Books". Data came from different databases.
I must create a "left join" relationship because I want a list of ALL shelfs and books (if they have any).
Dim dset As New DataSet
dset.Tables.Add(dtShelfs)
dset.Tables.Add(dtBooks)
[Code].....
I spent hours googling around, but all examples I found were only applicable to strongly typed dataSets, and how to build queries (not to get the data)
I could solve this the "easy" way: by looping both datatables and sending the rows to a third one, but I want to do this the "right" way and, of course... LINQ exists to make things easier and I don't know how to use it

I have been searching for quite a while about joining multiple datatables via LINQ to dataset (When i say multiple, i don't mean just 2!!!), and it seems there aren't lot of examples in the net. I have seen examples of joining two datatables, done that, no problem there. Now i want to join three datatables. And there's nothing i can find out there.For example i have a 3 datatables:
PERSON (columns: person_id, name, gender_code, ethnic_code)
GENDER (columns: gender_code, gender_description)
ETHNICITY (cols: ethnic_code, ethnic_description)

We are updating our SQL SERVER 2005 database to reflect the name of our new corporate masters and we need to change the values of the fields.
Once we do so, we will hit those fields with update queries, but right now, my group just needs a listing of the affected tables There are over 250 tables to search, is there a way to iterate through the tables?
I imagine I could search the datatables once I get them, so that part isn't a problem. I just need to know how to set up some code to peek in, record what needs to be changed, close it and move on to the next table.
I've done as much for a single table, but never a load like this.

The DataGridView Control only accepts one data source, but there are ways to brake through, ways that I'm not able to find.

I am working on a Visual Basic 2008 program using an Access 2000 database. My SQL codereturns no records, but I know the table has a record. A simplified example of the code looks like this:
SELECT Table1.Field1, Table1.Field2, Table1.Field3, Table1.Field4, Table2. Field1, Table2.Field2 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1 AND Table1.Field2 = Table2.Field2 WHERE Table1.Field1=@Field1 AND Table1.Field2=@Field2;

I need a simple method for a user to enter as many rows of data as they wish (probably won't exceed 50 in most cases and that's pushing it) and then store that data for retrieving the next time they want to reuse that list. I will also need to read the rows in for manipulating text in a file with those entries.
Would the best method to be to use the DataSet in VB Express 2008 and then use the DataGridView for allowing the display and entry of the data?

I have finished my program and now i am ready to deploy it. The only problem is it is a multi-user application. All i want to do is simply run the program with the database from a server, and have other local computers with the program access this same database. I know that you have to change the connection strings for the local computers, but how can i go along doing this?

My boss wants me to create local databases on the light-side of things. I was researching on what solutions are available, we discussed the possibility of using text or xml files... but we dropped the idea since we want to use SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE command sets (or the like)I proposed the idea of using Access files (mdb) but he told me that he doesn't want the user to have Access installed on their computers.What are the choices avaible, am I forced to install Access on machines that would be using my VB .NET app to access mdb files?

I am trying to copy a table from a network database to a local database. I used DAO and could check if the network table existed using a function that tried to assign a TableDef object to the table in question. If there was no error then I assumed that the table existed and the function returned true...Or it would error out and return false.I could then proceed with the copy or not as the case may be.I am converting the code to ADO.net and need to know how to check for a table.

I'm trying to create a program that will merge two data tables (one from a database on a network drive, the other is found in a database on the local machine). Each datatable is identical in structure, only (maybe) differs in content. The structure has a primary key, dateCreated, and dateLastEdited fields (plus other fields). I would like to merge down from the network to the local database. If the primary key does not exist on the local db but does on the network, copy from the network db to the local table. If it does exist, check the dateLastEdited column and copy the latest row to the local table.
How would i set up the code to do this? Any assistance would be great.

I need to marge two datatables with condition. I have a datatable where the data comes from a local XML Database and another datatable where the data comes from a remote SQL Server. If any update made in the remote datatable I need to update/merge with the local datatable. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub MargeTwoTable()
Dim SQL As String = ""
Dim RemoteTable As New DataTable
Dim LocalTable As DataTable
[code]....
In this code data comes from the remote database which updates a date getter then the local database . Both tables have "ID" as the primary key. The code is working well, but the problem is that when more than 1000 records are updated this function takes too long using loops.

I have a Main Table that contains all the distinct values in a DataTable.DataColumn. also have a Child Table that contains distinct values created by the user.I want to merge the Child Table DataRows that match on the Value column with theMain Table DataRows to create the New Table (shown below).I want to preserve the values in the Selected column of the Child Table.Here is my problem, if I use the DataTable.Merge method the DataRow that contains "888" in the Child Table is added to the New Table, but it doesn't contain a RowState = Added, thus I can't filter for added rows to remove them.

I am using VB Express 2008 and SQL Server Express 2008.I have one DataGridView on a Windows Form, which I am attempting to populate from two datatables. Both tables are identical in structure, but with data from two different dates. The respective SELECT statements are identical, except for the date; one calls for yesterday, one for today. I need a seperate Sum column from each table.I've tried to JOIN, UNION, and MERGE the tables, but that gives me all the data consecutively and I saw no way to seperate the days. I'm able to add DataColumns, and sum the fields with an expression, but is it possible to create DGV columns and bind them to the seperate DataTable columns? [code]

I have a datatable with a yes/no checkbox in it and when I filter my datasource it loads form2. Right now I'm using this code to have a label's color as green if it's checked and red if it isn't:
Private Sub Customers2BindingSource_CurrentChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Customers2BindingSource.CurrentChanged
If ActiveCheckBox.Checked = True Then
Label1.Text = "Active"
[code].....
That works when I do something like bindingsource.movenext because it's in the bindingsource_currentchanged event, but when I try adding that to the form_load it's automatically set to Inactive, color red. I figured it's because is set to checked = false, but what event do I use to make this work when the form loads?
What's the value of a checked checkbox for the update/delete/insert commands? Like dates are DateDateTimePicker.Value.Date. Is it something like this?
.AddWithValue("@Active", ActiveCheckBox.Checked)
I don't use checkboxes to often.

I am trying to compare two datatables and generate a resultant datatable of rows that do not match based on customer number. The main table "Customers" contains all customers that have been placed in our system. I am trying to generate a table of customers, "dtResults," that we have not ever generated an invoice from a table called "CurrentCust".I would like someone to look at the attached code and see how I can handle the 'InvalidCastException was unhandled', 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'CustomerDataTable' error. Error occurs at line 43.

using VB.net 2010 using DataAdapter and DataTables I'm trying to merge two datatables together and update a database with the results if I use the following code it works (though not ideal):
For Each tRow As DataRow In excelDt.Rows
accessDt.Rows.Add(tRow.Item(0))
Next
however if I use the following I don't get a error, it just doesn't update:
accessDt.Merge(excelDt)
accessDt.AcceptChanges()
For ease here I named the DataTables to describe where they are coming from. accessDt is a empty DataTable (to start) from a Temp Access database table with 1 or more columns in it and excelDt is a DataTable created from a Excel Worksheet with the same columns (same order as well) as the Access Table. Basically just trying to get the data from Excel into Access. They are using the same update command just swapping out which method is commented out. I have checked and accessDt does have the data in it before the Update is called using both methods.

I am in the process of revising code to use TVP to send data from our VB.NET app to the SQL 2008 DB and try to keep all the writes atomic.[url]...
I am in the process of creating all the in-code datatables to be sent to the SQL stored procedure
However, I will have to create these datatables and datacolumns (then add the columns to the tables) repeatedly for multiple tables.

I have a sequence that reads the selected Excel-file and displays the first row of the columns in the Excel. (The first Excel row has the column names)
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("select * from [" & tableName & "$]", MyConnection)
Dim dr As System.Data.IDataReader
Dim dt As New System.Data.DataTable
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
dt.Load(dr)
With the above code I can read the the first rows of the Excel table and choose the names of the columns I like to keep. (By populating the first row to my ComboBoxes)
So, at the moment my DataTable dt has all the table header names but on the first row. And as the header names it has F1, F2, F3, ... F13.
How can I make my new DataTable dt2 take the first row of dt and make it the column names row? How can I choose which columns do I want to transfer from dt to dt2 ???
I have tried the following (Doesn't work):
Dim dt2 As System.Data.DataTable
dt2 = dt.Copy.Columns("F1", "F2", "F3", "F4")
DataGridView1.DataSource = dt2
