How do I prevent users from a inserting a duplicate value using SQL Query
datatype is VarChar(50)
e.g. the name field has already been defined as "Josh", I don't want it to be able to add another "Josh"
I have been struggling with getting FormViews to work the way Microsoft expects me to for about a day and have figure a bunch of great stuff out.
I can catch e.Exception and e.ReturnValue in the ObjectDataSource.Inserting Event Handler and I can even cheat and check other properties of the Object in the ObjectDataSource.ObjectDisposing by checking the e.ObjectInstance ... and I even learned that FormView's Inserting Handler Runs AFTER the ObjectDisposing Handler so If there is a problem found I still have time to react to it and st the e.KeepInInsertMode to true on the FormView.
My problem is, it seems that the values entered by the user into the Insert form are cleared regardless.
So, How do I Prevent a FormView from clearing after it's Insert Method has fired?
(Using ASP.NET + VB)
I don't think posting my code here will really do much good and i would have to modify it to trim out confidential business logic stuff... so I'll skip it for now.
edit:
I have found a temporary and admittedly terribly cludgy solution (in case no one ever finds a REAL solution to the problem).
I have a page variable defined as:
Dim eInsertArgs As FormViewInsertedEventArgs
And then I do the following in my ItemInserted handler
If boolInsertErrorOccurred = False Then
e.KeepInInsertMode = True
eInsertArgs = e
[Code].....
The effect of this is that I am setting the values BACK to the submitted values AFTER ASP.NET binds the FormView to the default (blank) Template.
I have an EXE that creates objects based on params passed to it.Say I have textboxes named 57 and 21.I want to read the values entered by the end user.
Var1=57.text
Var2=21.text
How do I pull this data from the boxes?
I have created a small program that performs various calculations with data entered by the user. I need to be able to save the entered values and the results on the system running the program and be able to open it at anytime in the future and have the values and results displayed in the correct text boxes. I am currently reading up on some tutorials but I was just curious as to how I can send all my data in Visual Basic to my database in Microsoft Access?
View 4 RepliesThe problem is this: I have two forms. One form and the other form do mathematical calculations. I want to save the values that the user inputs, so when the user quits the program and then starts it up again the values are still there. But when I open up the program, start typing in values, then calculate them, hit quit. Try to open up the program again, its giving me a message that the input file is invalid. When I click ok, the program doesn't crash, continues. But the values are not there at all. The other form I put exactly the same code, just changed the variables and it doesn't want to save the values at all! I wrote this code for saving and loading the values:

I'm looking for a library for Autocomplete support in text controls which remembers all previous entries of the user and provide auto-complete support for it.For example for "recent files" I use [URL] and it works great. Do you know something like that for this purpose?
UPDATE : This is a .NET Winforms application and I'm using normal Text Control.

View 1 RepliesI need to disable a button after its pressed so the user does not have the ability to click it again as this would replicate the process in some cases.After alot of searching I found some tips - alot of code I found I could not understand.This is what I have come up with:
On page load:
If Me.Page.IsPostBack Then
'lblDetails.Text = "disabled"
[code]....
I also read somewhere that I should use: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) to delay the process or something - not entirely sure why I would do this though.Although, the problem with my above code is that when the code behind page performs validation checks, it exits sub before executing my INSERT SQL code - so when it does this it also disables the button.I am not entirely sure if the above method is fool proof or whether it is a **** piece of code that won't work 100% of the time.On another website I found a script to put on the actual HTML page with <script> tags:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

I am trying to get duplicate values from dgv into a combo:

I just need to know how to set up this array within the program to allow 10 values to be entered then later be shown into separate labels as a largest and smallest value.Create an application that lets the user enter 10 values into an array. The application should display the largest and smallest values stored in the array. Figure 8-45 shows an example of the application's form after all 10 values have been entered, with the largest and smallest values displayed.The form basically shows a large label box where your values will show up. Then two regular labels next to the boxed label that determines the largest and smallest values. There are four buttons, a clear, exit, Display Min & Max, and Input Values.I have the actual program layout already made and the initial buttons already declared, being the exit and clear buttons. I just need to know how to setup the array's for the other two buttons.

View 4 RepliesI have a form where two fields on the first page of the form make up the primary key. I want to check for duplicate values before attempting to insert the record, since I don't want the user to go all the way through the form only to find out they can't submit it. So I'm trying to check for duplicate values when the user tries to go to the next page of the form. I wasn't quite sure how to do it, and sure enough I'm getting an error. ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") The problem is apparently in my if statement, "If myValue.Length > 0 Then", but I'm not sure what needs to be in place of that.

I am trying to create a .Net application to edit a excel file by deleting some columns and keeping the columns which we need and then removing the duplicate values based on the first column which is going to be the Serial no. which should have a check to have 6 digits by default like 2563 should be displayed as 002563.
Code:
Public Function GetAllFileContents(ByVal path As String, ByRef errorMessage As String) As IList(Of String)
Dim contents = New List(Of String)
Try
Dim files = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.xls")
If (files.Length = 0) Then errorMessage = "Please select the files"
For Each file In files
