View 3 RepliesI would like to enable my app to run from a central database, but I dont want to recompile should the DB server change. Are my only two options saving the connection string to an XML file or the registry?
If so I think the XML file will probably be the way I go at least for me. I dont really want to mess with the registry. I just wanted to check what my options are.
I have a program that reads a database file(.csv or.Txt) then allows user to select data from 6 different comboxes and taext boxes are then populated based on the selection made from combobox
I would like to be able to give the user the option to save their settings so next time the program is open it will connect to the same database as the last connection and also have comboboxes go to the last selection Do I have to create a save setting value for each combobox? and the connection string?
is there a simple way to just save everything? so when the program is open it goes back to the last time it was open.

i am using access database for my program. now i have connected to the database in MDI form of main exe, and ir also works, user can log in, it gets verified etc etc etc. now here is the problem, when i load a form from dll and try to use any sql query on that form, i get message, "database connection is not opened". so what i did was, i added the connect() (a function i designed to connect to database) in the load part of the dll's form, it made the trick, query's started to run, everything went fine, and when i reload the form i.e after closing the form, i load it again from MDI form, i get error, connection already open..

I have compiled a Vb.Net program in which I used R Programming through R(D)COM. The statconnector library works fine. The program gives output without any error.
However whenever I try to deploy the code and create a setup file, and I run the setup file, I get the following error: There is connection for this connection ID (Exception from HRESULT: OLE_E_NOCONNECTION)

I am trying to copy a table in a database into another database on another connection in VB.NET, using OleDb. If they were on the same connection I would just use SELECT INTO, but they are not. I have two different OleDbConnection and cannot see an easy way to do this.
Right now I am attempting to just copy the database into a DataTable using an OleDbDataAdapter, and then loop through the DataTable and insert every record into the target database one at a time. This obviously takes a ton of time for the large DB I could potentially be dealing with, and I have to deal with escaping strings, null values, etc.
edit - just to make this more clear: I have two OleDbConnection objects, one is linked directly to a local .mdb file on my computer (JET). The other is linked to a database on our servers (SQLOLEDB). I am wanting to do this:
"SELECT * FROM fromDB INTO toDB"
But I can't because fromDB and toDB are on different connections, and the OleDbCommand object is only attached to one. The only way I can see how to do this is to connect to fromDB, copy it into a DataTable, connect to toDB, and copy all of the data in the DataTable row by row into toDB. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
i am trying to run a stored procedure from my vb .net application and i am getting an error that says something like this:

I have a an application that opens a SQL connection and over the course of a few hours creates and disposes of tens of thousands of DataReader objects. You could look at it as just one big loop. As the time goes by, the memory usage steadily climbs until the application/system runs out of memory and crashes.
Psuedo code would look something like
SQLConnection.Connect
Do Until x =1000000
Create New DataReader
Use DataReader
Close DataReader
[Code] .....
Even though I dispose of the DataReader object when I am done with it, the memory usage keeps climbing. I found that every time I am finished with the DataReader I have to close the SQLConnection and dispose of it. When I do that it keeps the memory usage very low and the processor usage is barely noticeable. I would think I could just open the SQL connection once and close it when I am done.
