VS 2005 Updating Client Data Tables When Data Table On Shared Drive Is Updated

Sep 28, 2009

I would like to know the best, or standard, way to accomplish real-time client updates in a small multi-user application using an access data table as a data source.

Specifically, this application will be used by 3-4 people. It uses a datatable which is filled on form load and bound to a datagrid at design time. The datatable is stored on a shared drive. The data table on the shared drive is updated in two ways:

1) Users can update the datagrid which then updates the datatable on the shared drive via the data adapter's Update method.

2) A server application does some work on some text files, periodically updating the data table.

I need the clients to reflect the changes to the data table on the shared drive as closely to real-time as possible. I know that the data table stored in memory on the client is disconnected from the data table on the shared drive, so I must query again to get the updates.

I have two questions:

1) Is there an alternvative model I can use which is connected, and which will automatically reflect the updates in the data table on the shared drive?

2) If not, what is the best way to check for changes in the data table (so I can know when to call the data adapter fill method)? I am planning to poll the drive for a change to the .mdb file, raise an event and then fill the data adapter when the event is triggered. I am using this method successfully now to check for changes to a text file in another application, and I know how to implement it

Client Database From Dialog Box Not Updating Table View Of Data Collected?

Apr 20, 2012

I am currently working on a Database that collects information. Firstly, i use a new windows form to collect that data. I have it set up to where, when the form loads, the database is ready to collect the information fields. And then the form closes on the button click to add that data, it does not update that data table view. It adds it once i close the program and debug it again.

Code: (Open the windows form)
Private Sub btnAddNew_Click_1(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddNew.Click
AddNewClientData.ShowDialog()

[Code].....

Problem two: I need to make a button that will increment a cell that was set as an Int, by one, but can't figure out how to put it into code.

VS 2010 Updating DGV And Dt After Dt Is Updated And Data Is Inserted Into DB?

Mar 9, 2012

I have an issue with a data table that I have updated using the datatable.update command.The datatable is bound to the datagridview using dgv.datasource = datatable.I have used INSERT and UPDATE commands and the INSERT command writes the data back to the database ok. However my problem is that it the dgv is not updated with the primary key (ID field) from the database. So when I save a second time, instead of updating it just inserts the data again.

Multiple Data Tables Vs One Grand Data Table

Jan 25, 2011

if it affects the run time of a program if I were to have multiple data tables as opposed to one data table with all my data in it? I am trying to minimize datagrids and just use code to access table data, in hopes that it will speed up my program. But I am ignorant if multiple tables vs 1 main table will make a difference because there will still be the same amount of overall data present in my program one way or the other....?

Updating Tables Data VB 2010?

Sep 20, 2010

I have one DataSet and two forms, Customers and Efficiency. When I make changes to the Customers table (Delete a Customer for instance) It does not reflect the changes on the Efficiency table. The default form is Efficiency and I'm calling the Customers form from within the Efficiency form. I make the change in the Customer form, I then close the Customer form and call the Efficiency form back. The data is not updated on the Efficiency side until I close the application and re-open it. what code I need and where to inject this code?

Parameter Update Reports 1 Row Updated But No Data In Table Added

Oct 13, 2011

I am getting an incorrect repsonse after an update to a table. In my RowUpdating event I have the following code which builds an Update Parameter to call an SP to update a table. I must be doing something wrong but everything runs fine. My rowsAffected variable reports 1 after the update, but the table never gets the data.[code]I found a solution that is working. On the original DataSource for the update command I needed to add the following.[code]This in essence allows the original data source to call the SP. Note: that the command type needs to stay as TEXT not Stored Procedure as one might think.

Updated Table Loses Saved Data After Project Rebuild

Mar 17, 2009

since I still use VB6 and the code is in VB8, I can't find the solution.The sub below is executed in a button's click event, and is supposed to save data to his database. It seems to work fine : you can add persons (in a separate form), and see them appear in the datagrid. You can stop the program, go back to the VB editor, and run it again (without rebuild), and the previously added persons will still be visible in the datagrid. But...If you add some persons, then go to the editor and force a rebuild (for example by adding more code), and than run the code again, the the previously added persons are gone (nomore visible in datagrid)!To me, it seems that the problem is to effectively update the database. I have searched on the internet about this topic, and I read that you must "set" the UpdateCommand.

Updating Data From A Table Adapter

Apr 18, 2006

Honestly I do not understand why I need to write code to update a databse and why it stores it localy. I'd simply rather the system update the individual row after it is scrolled off of.

In either case since I guess I can't do that.

Here is some code in a button on a form

Try
ItemsTableAdapter.Update(NewCreationsDataSet1.Items)
LineCodeTableAdapter.Update(NewCreationsDataSet1.LineCode)
Catch ex As Exception

Accessing And Updating An Access Data Base Via A Table Index?

Feb 18, 2011

I am an old VB2 programmer and in the process of moving up. In VB2 I could obtain a data row via and index on an access table. I can not find an example on how to do this. I can retrieve a single row using a query, but an index would be faster. I know in Oracle use can use a hirt to direct the query to use the index.Here is what I was during in VB2 (Sample) with no hint.

Set Stock_Tbl = "DataBaseName".openTable(Stock_Tbl_Name)
Stock_Tbl.Index="Symbol_Idx"
Stock.Tbl.Seek="MSFT"

Table Adapters And Updating Multiple Tables?

Apr 21, 2011

Using; - vb2008 Express, data on ACCESS 2003, objective; - to update a separate table not on the original query.From what i have gathered i need to add a second table adapter to make the changes to a related field in another table. Since i already have the 1st table adapter the second does not appear as easy as the second (dragn the data set over).

So i suppose i need to create the second table adapters programmatically? [URL]..I see that because they are not nested they need to each be declared.. right? If so that is where my issue lies. I'm having a problem with how to declare them both now that there must be two.
