Searches By No Primary Key Fields?
Apr 23, 2009
ive been reading this forums and it already helped me a lot with my application, im new to visual studio and im currently developing an aplication for my school project in vs 2008.Im using a simple access database with only 2 tables and I creadted a form with a datagrid to show all data inside the tables, and now i want to create search buttons for each field of the table . like, "seach by Name", Seach by date" etc... i tried to use the simple code
Code:
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim cod As String
cod = InputBox("Type the Id to search: ", "Search By ID")
If cod <> " " Then
[code].....
My biggest problem now is that this code works very well to search by id (which is my table primary key), but now i want to search by other fields and this code only allows to search by primary key! Is there any way to use something similar to this code to search by other fields?

I have noticed that whilst in the past using MS Access you could have a primary key field on a form and have it not visible. You could still use it for Dlookups etc using the value in the field no problem even though it is not visible. In Vb if i hide a textbox that is bound to a PK field in a datasource and try to use its value in code i get an error. Making the field visible again prevents the error. My goal is to use a PK bound textbox not visible to the user but still read its contents.
Also, what is the equivalent of a simple DLOOKUP in VS2010? EG. You have the PK and want to know, say 3 other pieces of information from the record based upon the PK you have.

Lets say we have an Access file in a well known path (i.e. "C:MyFolderMyFile.mdb"). That file does not have a primary key set on the table we are interested in . Is it possible to set one of the fields as a primary key (for example the "ID" field , which is also an AutoNumber data) ? And one more thing : I'd like to change the name of a field on that table . For example , lets say there is a field called "My Field 1" (note the space characters) and we want it to be renamed as "My_Field_1" . If it's possible , I'd like both these changes to be permanent in the data base file itself , not just in the imported DataSet ,

I'm currently refactoring an old Visual Basic DLL (VB.Net), which stores all of its data in one module called Globaldefinitions as public fields. There are about 200 fields, referenced thousands of times all around the code:
Public Module Globaldefinitons
Public a As Short
...
Public zz10 As Double
[Code]...
I need to change the module into a class with non-shared fields. This means, each and every of these thousands of references needs to reference the instance of that class:
globalDefinitionsInstance.a = 5
How do I go about this efficiently?
Regular expressions operating on the source fall flat. Refactoring tools like Re-Sharper or CodeRush don't seem to offer this functionality. Visual Studio 2010 cannot do it automatically either.

Class Foo
ReadOnly name As String
Public Sub New(name As String, dependentUpon As Foo)
Me.name = name
[code]....
The output of New Bar() is:
Dependent created. Dependent upon nothing.
Independent created. Dependent upon nothing.
It seems fields are initialized in the same order as they appear in the source code, which (a) leads to an unexpected result, and (b) seems a little puzzling, given that one is normally not permitted to read from uninitialized variables in .NET, yet that seems to be working fine above.I would've expected VB.NET to be smart enough to initialize referenced fields first, and only then those that reference it; i.e. I'd have liked to see this output instead:
Independent created. Dependent upon nothing.
Dependent created. Dependent upon Independent.
how to get VB.NET to behave like that instead, without simply having to swap the declaration order of dependent and independent inside class Bar?

I'm trying to create a table in Word using data from a table in Access. There are four fields in the access table that I need. 3 fields are text which I can populate the Word without any issues. However the fourth field is a memo with >255 characters.I'm struggling to come up with the proper code to allow me to populate the Word field with the memo data that has more than 255 characters. The code I have so far is listed below. But when it hits the memo field, it crashes on the line I marked with **. I know it's not text, but I've tried many different field types, but nothing has worked so far.[code]...

My intent is to have the code - on a button.click event - check the Username and Password fields and return an error depending on which is wrong. Or if both are wrong, return a different error message. I've set the username as parts and the password as parts (still learning how to use external authentication). [Code]

I have several sqldatasources for my gridview. All of the columns are autogenerated. However they all have some consistent fields and I'd like to make those fields template fields so I can modify the edit template for them such as adding a drop down menu. Is this possible?

EDIT: Note. I should have mentioned I'm not interested in using the .Select, DataRowView, RowFind, I wrote a function to search a datatable for terms in an array. I then return the datatable as a dataset so it can be bound to a DataGridView. Does anyone have any optimization ideas? Since this is a real-time search (every term typed instantly searches) I'd like to make the function as fast as possible. The speed is actually pretty good already but I figured I'd be worth asking you all if there was anything else I could change about it.

I am very new to VB.net and for a project I am supposed to do some "outside research" and create a database. The database should consist of items (sports players) who have a number of different values (one set is physical: strength, speed, agility, acceleration) and preferably another (technical ability: ball skill, dribbling, shooting, etc). I want the database to classify these and give each traits such as "Power Shooter" if the shooting stat is upwards of 90, etc. I want to be able to bring up characters through this and also through named searches.

I'm creating a search control where searches can be compounded. So, for instance, I could create a search for Orders where OrderID = 1232 or OrderID = 2343 and OrderID <> 23435
So I have a button that users can click to compound. Obviously its a complicated problem to do well, but in any case, on my path to trying to find the best way to do it, I wanted to create a variable that could be either '=' or '<>' depending on the value of some other variable set elsewhere.Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to switch to Expressions?

I'm new to VB and my book doesn't explain sequential searches very well. I need help with the application I'm creating for school. My application has to allow the user to enter a number and then it will verify if the number is valid by searching through the list of arrays I provided.The question:Create an application that allows the user to enter a charge account number. The application should determine whether the number is valid by comparing it to the numbers in the following list: (see code)The list of numbers should be stored in an array. A sequential search should be used to locate the number entered by the user. If the user enters a number that is in the array, the program should display a message indicating the number is valid. If the user enters a number that is not in the array , the program should display a message indicating the number is invalid.

so my program takes what the user enters into a textbox and searches through the data i have stored and if it matchs one of the peices of data it displays the apropriate data to the user. This all worked fine till i changed the textboxes to be added dynamicly to the form when it is load and i put all textboxes in a collection. So now when the text is sent to the search sub it sends the data over but always returns that it didnt find a match. But if i go into the search sub and just tell it what to search for automaticly it finds it no problem.

In VB6 I could use an asterisk as a wildcard when searching the object browser. For instance, searching on "c*Report" would find "cFooReport" and "cReport". I can't seem to do the same in VS2008, am I just missing something obvious?

experience on how to create an engine using C# (VB.NET is okay too) that is generic enough to handle most cases of MS Word text fields I need to fill with data I'm getting from a database?

im creating an array that contains something like this [code]Then i need to make it so when i click on a listview item it searches for the same "Application" name and shows the path.I have everything planned out, but im not sure what i should use to do this.Should i use list(Of string), arraylist or just string(,)?I have no idea of the amount of elements it will contain. I was thinking of using a list so i can use .find without having to make a search function.Anyways, what would be the best/fastest way to do this? Its possible i might have up to 1000 rows in this array, so i want something fastish.
