im trying to pick up Visual basic on my own with no friends/family that have any programming experience.. I'm struggling (surprise surprise)Heres what I'm trying to do...I have 1 combo box, It will list product names.. Lets say 15 of them.. (I know 15 i could just as easily specify them individually within VB.. but lets assume I NEED to read them from an excel file.(Excel 2003)
Part 1 :Really all i need to know for now, is how do I load an excel worksheet into VB so I can call data up from the cells / rows / columns..
Part 2 : How do I define Which Cells from Each row or column I want to populate into the combo box... Presuming for the "Product name" combobox I have placed each of the 15 product names in the excel file under Row 1, column A through Row 15 , Column A.I want to avoid this and just call the xls file into VB. (Excel will be installed on any computer running this application if that matters. )
i Have this code which populates a number of combo boxes from an excel document, the problem is that it only populates the 1st three lines, does anyone know why this is??
I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

I have a window application develpoed in vs 2008, framework 3.5, in which i have put a button.. Now where i click that button the other text boxes are filled up with the data from database thru web service.. what i want is while all text boxes are being filled i want to show an animated loading gif image till data loading is completed in all the text boxes.. i have tried to use image picture box but while data is loading gif image is displyes but in static mode.. cant see animation... i think this is because data loading and animation both are done thru one UI thread..
I have 5 combo boxes that need to show the same list of items that come from a single dataset table. I have managed to bind the datatable to the combo boxes no problem at all.. but when I run the application and select an item from one of the combo boxes all the others change to the item I selected. After some research I believe that this problem is something to do with using the one datasource so I have tried assigning the dataset datatable to 2 different variables and used them as datasources for 2 of the comboboxes but the same still happens.
A work around to this I can see is to call the same methods and SQL select statements 5 times over to get individual datasources for each combo box but this doing that sounds crazy to me. how I can get around this easily? Code snippet below shows 2 combox boxes and their datasources. I'm using VS2005, .Net 2
which way do you think is best? Using connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(My.Settings.CustomerConnectionString & My.Settings.CustomerDatabasePath) Using command As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT [customer] FROM [tblCustomers] ORDER BY [customer] ASC", connection) connection.Open() Using reader As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
ok so What I am trying to do is have one combo box with employee name and once you choose the employee name for it to populate another combo box with the pay periods that the employee has in the database. So far I have that down and here is my code for it:
i have a combo box that on form load is populated but i need to know when i click an item, i will be able to code how to populate other combo and text boxes with data about the same person.
I've done data binding to my Combos and it works fine but my data base has over 260 000 entries, so I can't let user to move trough it, one by one entry until finds a match.What I am looking for is that user select value from Combo Boxes and Text Boxes get filled in with a matching values from the same row.Auto Complete helps in selection but I still can't work it out how to get values to my text boxes.
I have a form that has some combo boxes in it, and a table in SQL Server that stores the Values for the selected item for the combo box.I have read the data out from the combo box and inserted it into the SQL table as a integer. Now I want to read it back in to the form.
Dim ds_Details_all1 As New DataSet Dim dgv_newtbcolumn As New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn Dim dgv_newcbocolumn As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn Try If ds_AEGM.Tables(0).Rows.Count <> 0 Then
I've got an xml file that i'm trying to bind to a combo box. i'm trying to save the selected value of the combo to another text box. when my form initially loads, the text box shows System.Data.DataRowView instead of the currently selected value.i've read on other posts that this can happen if you don't have the right column names specified. but i'm pretty sure that's not my problem... because i'm not using string values for names, but referencing them by index. also, the actual combo boxes do display the list of values.[code]...
I have designed my form like this it has a combo box and several text boxes. In the form load I want to load the customer IDs of my customer table into my Combo box.Customer IDs data type is varchar and this part is working in my form.The next thing that I want to do is if a user select a single user ID from the combo box I need to display the first name last name and there are several fields of that selected customer id in the text boxes.If anyone can help me in this it'll be a great help.I have designed my data base in sql server 2008 and I'm using visual studio 2008.I added a new sqldata adapter and I created the data set.But I want to know how to pass the selected id of the combo box as the select parameter of sql statement and how to bind data to the text boxes.
I have combo box being filled with more than 50 thousand records. it is getting sometime to load and bind the data. I am using datatable to bind the data. I tried using data-reader as well but in vain.
None of the Microsoft videos I have watched, or the other posts I have seen, have given me the pieces I need to understand this process. This is the one key piece of understanding that I need to finish about 4 different programs I have started in the last 2 years. All of them key on understanding the following processes:
Public Sub RandomNumbers() Dim s(4) As String Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
I used this code to created 2 combo boxes General and Specific...and Only show Specific (Combo when Combo A is chosen.....What i need now is to know how to assign specific values to the items in combo b (Specific).??? If i chose a sode, Fanta, i want the total price to be $10.00 (this price will show up in the finial price box..
I am developing a program that makes it easier for users to log on to a website and search for specific data. I have the first portion finished in which I have a form with the Ax Web Browser control.
The web browser control navigates to a local website and automatically logs in for the end user. This is done by using code which automatically fills in the username and password and then submits the form to logon using something similar to this: WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).elements("txtUsername").value = "user"
Once logged on - there is a search page which contains a combo box and list box. I am trying to set specific values for the combo box and list boxes.For example - the combo box on the website is titled: cbxDate and contains the following values: Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month.
A list box titled: lstArea contains the following values: Zone A, Zone B, Zone C, All.I am trying to figure out if there is a way through code to select, in this example, "Yesterday" in the cbxDate and "Zone B" in the lstArea on the webpage.If anyone knows of a solution, please feel free to let me know. Be advised that I am using the Ax Web Browser Control.
I am getting an error when i try to populate some combo boxes with a value, the combo box has values in and the right amount the code is getting the right number.
the error msg is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I am having a problem using ACE. I am on Windows 7 64 bit and I am using Visual Studio 2010. I have inherited a program that needs to be converted from using JET to ACE as more and more users could not use it on their new computers. All this little application does is sort data according to selected fields and then insert blank lines whenever the data changes. It worked fine with Jet built in VS 2005.
Line 32 is where I am getting trouble. I get one of two error when I get to this point "IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_FAIL(0x80004005) when targeting any CPU. I found suggestions from people on the web to target X86 in the advanced compile options but then I get 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered. This I think is due to the system looking for the 32 bit version of ACE but I am using the 64 bit.
When reading through the code the line da.Fill(dt) is underlined with the comment "Variable 'da' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime." This confuses me as I declare it at the top and it gets used in the if the statement. The only reason for the underline I can see is that there is no option in case the incoming data is not from csv,xls or xlsx but since the open file dialog doesn't allow for anything else that shouldn't matter.

I'm a noob to VB, so new in fact I had posted a question to the VB6 and earlier, I do believe I am using .Net Anyway, as I say, I'm new to VB and am hoping somone can help me. I am trying to pass data from an excel spreadsheet into a combo box, I've added the reference object library. Here's the
[code]...
To run this you'll need a combo box, and an excel spreadsheet added to your desktop. Of course you'll need to change the path to the spreadsheet to whatever you choose. After doing so, I get an error that I don't really understand.
am trying to load data from an excel worksheet & its really giving me headache. A particular column contains both string and numeric data. its picking only the numeric data & loading the string data as blank entries. I tried checking what may be wrong, i think i saw a documentation that says Excel scans the first 8 rows of a column & determines it data type.plz, how can i load everything on the sheet (i can get everything as string, but i dont want to lose any entry)
this is a reference to the thread:he problem I was having while loading data into a datagrid from Excel is solved when I have changed the connection string property IMEX to 1 in:
HTML con = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & filename & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;""")
