Reading From A Database File?
Oct 2, 2009
I have been trying to create a login page for a while and most of that time I have been searching for info on how to make it read the username, password and any other information off of a database.
I recently gave up and decided to use some code which reads it from a .txt file and this works and therefore I could complete the rest of the page and test it using the .txt file. However, a .txt file is not an ideal place to store the information as it is difficult to look at the text and find what you need to change if you want to upgrade the system to hold more data than before so therefore I came to this site to seek help on making the login page work with a database.

I want to read a csv file into an access database , here is my code :
Private Sub load_csv()
Dim ConnectionString As String
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _

The strange thing is that the file really is there, so what else could go wrong ?

I need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?

I want to perform two hashing operations concurrently on a single file, without reading the file twice. Is there some way to share the FileStream between two synchronized hashing threads? For example:
Dim Stream As New IO.FileStream("...", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim HashA, HashB As Byte()
Dim A = New System.Threading.Thread(Sub()
[code]....
Maybe some way of caching a stream? Trouble is, I don't want the entire file in memory at once (it could be many gigabytes in size) and I don't want the file read more than once, due to speed issues. I want the file cached only sufficiently to ensure that both threads can work.For example, suppose at some point in time, thread A had read 100k of the file, but thread B had only read 20k of the file. The portion of the file between 20k and 100k should be cached; but then progressively forgotten as thread B catches up. Then again, if thread B is too slow, we might still end up with hundreds of megabytes being cached.Maybe thread A should be made to wait while thread B catches up. Maybe the ReadByte() function of the stream should block for a while if one of the threads is too far behind?

friend of mine has no HTML knowledge so I'm attempting to write a program that replaces certain parts of a html file to suit his needs.I've edited the HTML file and marked certain parts with "tags" like this:
#IMAGEURL1# I have a textbox where he can copy + paste an image URL and hopefully the #IMAGEURL1# is replaced with the contents of the textbox.
So can someone please enlighten me to-as how to open a HTML file (there's no textbox to display the contents just yet, I'll add one if needed), find the specified text and then replace it with whats in a textbox.

I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]

I made a query in MS Access using fields from multiple tables. I want to display stuff from it into a listbox on the form and then I need to save stuff back too it also. But I'm obviously doing something wrong cos I keep getting the error: "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Today'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly." [code] Also, I have written further down objDataSet. Tables("Today's Absentees") and "Today's Absentees" is a query not a table, what needs to be written instead?

in my program i have a list box full of rooms and when that rooms selected all its details are to be shown in a bunch of different labels. Problem is, no matter which room is selected the data readers only reading from the very first row in the database. I've got a variable to hold the name of wich rooms selected, but how would i use that variable to determine where the rest of the data should be read from.
heres the code that im using
Private Sub lbRoomLoc_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lbRoomLoc.SelectedIndexChanged
