Public Sub UpdateStaff(ByVal sr As StaffRecord)
Dim oldSr As StaffRecord
Dim q = From staff In db.StaffRecords Where staff.Employee_Number = sr.Employee_Number Select staff
oldSr = q.First
oldSr.Address_Line1 = sr.Address_Line1
[Code]...
The helper function I have written seems to do everything I want apart from update the db. Stepping through the code, the oldSr is updated by the new sr parameter but no update on submit changes.
I'm adding an element to existing XML doc with the following code:

discovered the compact mode of this instructions vs usual code. I found sample code for selecting, etc. from a datatable, transforming a column in a list or array - all operations are "Select"s - readonly.I need to make an simple update on a certain rows (using LINQ) from a DISCONNECTED datatable for which now I'm using this
for each dr as datarow in dtable.Rows
dr("MyField") = 77

Very simple update. It simply fails, no error, no change gets made to the database.Dim db As New BarClassesDataContext Dim foo = (From a In db.articles Where a.id = 14 Select a).Single Response.Write("<h3>" & foo.title & "</h3>") foo.title = "This is my new, updated title for article ID #14"
db.SubmitChanges()
Here is the relevent portion of my article class. Also, this is a web form so I have no console. Is there another way to view the T-SQL output?
<Table(Name:="dbo.article")> _

im pretty much a beginner to using ASP.net and linq to sql but what im trying to do is update a column of a table based on a variable. at the momment i have
Dim db As New sqldcDataContext Dim update As tableName = (From i in db.tableNames _ Select i)
i think this selects everything, how could i have two variables, one to store what table to update and the other what column. is this possible?edit: sorry for being unclear im trying to make this as dynamic as possible so i dont have to type in the exact table/col names. something like this but in the linq to sql syntax.
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ". $table ." WHERE `" . $column . "` = "" . $data ."");
I use the following statement to position which row to update;
Dim salonToUpdate = (From r In db.Salons _
Where r.StoreID = storeID _
Select r).Single()
If fileDate = #1/1/1900# OrElse fileDate = Nothing Then
SalonToUpdate.LastDownLoadDate = TableDate
[Code] .....
I've double checked to make sure none of the dates are invalid or null, but when the bolded statement executes, the following sql runs through the trace:
exec sp_executesql N'UPDATE [dbo].[Salons]
SET [LastDownLoadDate] = @p0
WHERE 0 = 1',N'@p0 datetime',@p0='2008-01-04 00:00:00:000'
Of course it's going to fail if LINQ is passing in where 0=1 every time. Shouldn't it be using some unique row identifier, (in my case, the salon id), to update the specific row?

I have 2 tables Table1 with columns [BId,Name,Amount] Table2 with columns [CId,BId, ExpenseType,Expense]. BId Is the foreign key in Table2. The Amount field in Table1 is always higher than Expense in Table2. I need to update the values of Amount (increase or decrease) based on value of Expense and I want to do it in single query in LINQ. Eg If the Expense has to be updated with 200, I would decrease(negate) Amount value with 200. If Expense is reduce to 100 then the Amount is increased by a value of 100.

View 5 RepliesI have a page with a form on it and needs a range of dates. Thus I've placed a number of textboxes on the page into which users can type dates. When the user clicks the save button I want to trigger a LINQ update to the SQL Server...all the rows already exist, so I'm just updating existing data.
For example, lets say my table looks like this:
Column Names: Description dateValue
Column Values:
Birthdate 1/1/1990
Anniversary 1/10/1992
Death 1/1/1993
I want to do something like this:
hupdate.Description("Birthdate").dateValue = TextBox1.Text
hupdate.Description("Anniversary").dateValue = TextBox2.Text
hupdate.Description("Death").dateValue = TextBox3.Text
hconfig.SubmitChanges()
Is there a way to do this with LINQ?
I'm using visual basic 2008 express edition by linq to sql for my database operation such as edit records.

What I want is to edit the records which were retrieved from the database into the text-boxes and when you click the button5 whatever the new value on the text-boxes should replace the previous one.The Account field is the field in my Table1 in memrec.dbml which I set up for primary key is true and the rest of the fields are false in its primary key.[code]...

I'm looking for a simple example in VB2008 code.I have the Northwind DB installed on one of our SQL servers.
I've worked with the Datagridview on serveral occasions but never used its update,delete or add functions. I've Googled around the web, but could not find a simple example.
Whats the best way to do this and implement it using LINQ?
