View 3 RepliesI've got a Program and a text file, this text file gets load into the list box but that's not the problem. The problem is that when I make the text file it makes a open line and this line gets loaded into the list box and I don't want empty items.
So here's code that I use to make text file
Public MySettingfile As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "Process History.MemFreo" Dim myCoolWriter As New IO.StreamWriter(MySettingfile, True, System.Text.Encoding.Default)
myCoolWriter.WriteLine()
myCoolWriter.Close()
How can I open a tab delimited text file and remove the columns that are empty and the save it? Empty columns are those that have no value in the first row.

View 6 RepliesI am creating a project in VB.NET in which one of the reports require that the name of employees should be displayed as column names and whatever work they have done for a stated period should appear in rows below that particular column.Now as it is clear, the columns will have to be added at runtime. Am using an ODBC Data source to populate the grid. Also since a loop will have to be done to find out the work done by employees individually, so the number of rows under one column might be less or more than the rows in the next column.Is there a way to create an empty data table and then update its contents based on columns and not add data based on addition of new rows.
View 1 RepliesI have a DataTable that I am creating and binding to a GridView. Currently the headers do not have any spaces and it makes it hard to read. I want to space them out but I'm having a minor issue.[code]I know that I can set the HeaderText in the columns declaration like below, but I won't know how any columns I am going to have. And would rather the columns be generated automatically. [code]
View 2 RepliesHow do I go about adding a ButtonColumn to a DataTable.
I am basically using a DataTable as the DataSource of a DataGrid and need to add a ButtonColumn to the DataTable so that when I DataBind it to the DataGrid it all works.
Although when I try
dt.Columns.Add(buttonColumn)
This is not allowed. It has to be a basic DataColumn.
Anyone have any ideas what would prevent my data from not be ing able to be bound to my data column? [code]My error says cant bind to column named SellingPrice? I have many other columns ALL binding the same way and other parts of my program recognize SellingPrice ?
View 9 RepliesIs there a way to change when an expression in a datacolumn is evaluated?
I'm trying to make a simple total function which sums the values of a particular column in a data grid. Normally the expression is evaluated when I leave from the datagridview, but I wish it to be evaluated when the row is changed.
in my datatable I've a String.Byte[] column which contains the array of bytes of an image. So, when the datatable is binded to the datagrid, I can see the picture, if present, and the red cross if is not presente. So I can remove the red cross, by assign a value to the DefaultValue property of the datacolumn. But what default value I've to assign?? I tried with system.dbnull.value but the red cross is still present.

I have a dataset with a number of data columns, due to sizing issues I've updated a number of the varchar columns from say VARCHAR(20) to VARCHAR(50).I'd like the DataTable to automatically grab the new column information, is this possible? I'd rather not go through each column in the table and update the length.

View 5 RepliesI'm adding a DateTime DataColumn to a DataTable like this:
Dim colDate As DataColumn = New DataColumn("Date")
colDate.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.DateTime")
dt.Columns.Add(colDate)
Then when I try to add it to my datatable, if the value is Nothing I get an error saying string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. I'm having trouble getting this to work.
Can anyone demonstrate with an example how to shift the position of a datacolumn in a specific position after it is added at the end of a datatable.For example lets say I have a datatable with 9 columns and 5 rows. Now I added a 10th column. However I need this new column as the 5th column which requires shifting. How do I perform this shifting?
View 3 RepliesI'm using MySQL to store some numbers. One of the columns in the database is defined as unique, but it does allow multiple NULL-values. That is exactly how I want it.ut when I'm trying to load the data into my strongly typed DataSet, I get a error saying that a constraint fails... I do understand why that happens (several rows with NULL-values in a unique column), but is it a way to keep a DataColumn in vb.net unique, but still allow several rows with NULL-values like in MySQL?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a filter string for my DataView, but I have run into a problem. My underlying DataTable contains values that are formatted when displayed in my DataGridView.For example, if the DataColumn contains 1.52 and the DataGridViewColumn.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "n0" then 2 is displayed.So the user sees 2, then sets the DataView.RowFilter = "DataColumn = 2", and no DataRows are returned. Is there a way to format the DataColumn in the RowFilter string? For example, DataView.RowFilter = "FORMAT(DataColumn, "n0") IN (2, 4)". This filter string should return 3 rows. If not, can LINQ do this?
View 5 RepliesI am currently working with a datatable and I want to be able to show richtext in a column of the table. First question can this be done?

I have a datatable which loads data from an Excel Spreadsheet. One of the columns in the Excel SpreadSheet was of type "Date/Time" in which date values are stored. Now I appended the datatable with three new rows and I wanted to store string values in these rows using the code below. However due to the fact that one of the columns are date/time type, an error is generated as date/time column does not accept string value. I have two questions
a. Is it possible to store string value in date/time DataColumn?
b. Is there a remedy to this situation? [code]

View 8 RepliesMy goal is to connect to my database either manually or using an sqladapater, and get information from two of my databases on sql server 2005. Then I want to take this information and on run-time begin to add/subtract/divide/multiply certain columns and place the information into other columns. I can do this in queries, however, I want to do it on run-time what is the best way to achieve this.I had some of this working, but I just want to start fresh and see how you would go about doing this.

I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable
