i just finally got my code, with the help of you guys, working to fetch column values from my database and display it in a ComboBox.
Now i am thinking to myself that simply displaying a customer's surname just is not enough due to repetitive issues etc. What i propose that i should do is have multiple column values in a the combo box. For example
CustomerID, Surname, Firstname
My current code is:
con = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:My DropboxDocumentsTaxi Service ProjectDatabaseTaxiProjectDatabase.accdb;")
con.Open()

So i have a datagridview with two combos, when the form it's created i fill the first one with all the MainValues, and the second one with all possible values for the MainValues (called SecondValues) (1..N).Now my issue, when the user selects one value from the first combo i want to fill the second combo with all values related to the selected MainValue, i can do this for example by filling the datatable again with a parameter that filters the data, but if the previous rows have different main values, the dgv throws errors because it doesn't find the binded ones in the new filtered datatable.
How can i handle this? One datatable for each line?! Other thing, i'm using the SelectionChangeCommited event for handling the values change (in theEditingControlShowing), but if the user uses the keyboard to select the values the event doesn't behave in the same way or the way that i need. The values in the combo are numeric values (1001,1020,2010,3010), when the user select one of the values, i need to fill another cell in the same row with the number selected plus some string, example combo:1001 cell:1001XPTO. So if the user presses 1 in the keyboard the combobox selects the 1001 and fills the cell with 1001XPTO, but if i keep pressing the keyboard to select the 1020, by pressing 0 and 2, i get the 1020 selected in the combo, but the cell remains with the 1001XPTO.
I am working with an Unbound DataGridView. I would like to vary the contents of a second combobox based on what is selected in the first. I have code to add the columns and populate the first combobox, but I can't figure out how to do the second one since it can (and usually will) have a different list for each row AND the list must change when the selection in the first is changed.
View 1 RepliesI am using the following code to alter an table imported from an Excel spreadsheet
Dim SQL As String = "ALTER TABLE receipts ADD payee integer, account integer, category integer, reconciled boolean"
Dim dataread As New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
dataread.Connection = Connection1
[code]....
Both ExecuteNonQuery() actions yields the exception message {"Syntax error in field definition."}The error message does not happen with the first if the boolean column is not there (I tried Tes/No as a definition - but that also failed.The second query to modify the ID column from autonumber to integer I assume fails because it is a Primary KeyHas?
I'm filling a combobox from a dataset that has three columns, DealerID, DealerName, DealerState. I can only get one column to display. show two or more columns in a combobox? My code follows:

For Each drDealer in datList.Tables("tblDealerID").Rows
cboDealer.Items.Add(drDealer("DealerID"))
Next
Does anyone know how I can go about concatenating multiple columns from a table to populate into a combobox? I have 4 columns from which I need the data to show up in 1 line when clicking on the dropdown/combobox list. I'm not sure if I have to deal with the display member or the value member.

I have a combobox that displays saved names from the fullname column of my database. This works fine, all the items under the fullname column are added to the combobox. However, I also have several textboxes on the same form that also need to display data from the database, from the same record. So I was wondering if this was possible:

I know how to pull data from an access database and place it into a combobox, but I am trying to make certain that I dont have multiples of the same information.
Like one column is for countries of origin.
United States
Canada

In the combo box, it should only list the United States only once, not multiple times.

View 6 RepliesI would like to load a combobox with some values from an access database. On form load I load my information into a data grid view but if the user wants to add more information or edit what is selected in the DGV I will enable some text boxes and a combobox to show the selected data. I have not issue loading from the DB into the text boxes but the combo box has me a bit stumped. I have 3 columns in the database, periodno, start date and end date. I want to display the start and end date concatenated together. When the user selects a period and hits the button I want the dates to set a variable with the periodno that matches those dates.

View 1 RepliesI have seen something like the following in many software. Combo box populated and displayed with multiple columns (for example stock code, stock description). But now I am only able to populate with stock code. May I know how to achieve this? I know it can be done by calling a form (And I can do whatever coding in this form) out when clicking on the combo box. But I am looking for better solution, or is it possible to populate the whole datagrid into the combo box as source instead of only the data.

I'm trying to understand ComboBox and the use of columns (or equivalent) in .NET For instance, I have a bound form with a combo box and a table that i want to feed it. In the table I have EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName. I want the "Bound Column" to be the EmployeeID, but the combo box to display the last and first name of the employee. This was very easily obtainable in VBA but is giving me some grief in VB.NET. I've played around with the datamember and valuemember properties of the combobox but have not had any luck.
View 2 RepliesI have a combobox that is connected to a datatable with 3 columns. When i click a button i want 3 values from the selected item to be transferred to another datatable.The easiest way without any hassle to do this is via the Combobox.Text, Combobox.SelectedValue and....eyy nowhat?
View 8 RepliesThe user picks x amount of scenarios from the combobox, and x amount of columns appear in the datagridview. If the user changes the number of columns from x amount to y amount, the columns should be added/removed respectively but currently when y amount is chosen x amount of columns are in the datagridview.
I'm not sure how to do this, I've tried using an IF statement under the .SelectedIndexChanged event but the code adds columns until it reaches as high as it can go, then pulls an error saying too many columns.

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a program which navigates through a tree-like structure. There are lots of items with a single 'parent' and many 'children'.
Using a SQL database, I've got all of the items information stored, but I'm struggling with how to hold the IDs for each Items children.
For example:
A: no parents, Children: B, C, D
B: Parent: A, Children E, F, G, H
F: Parent: B, Children: J, K, L, M
Where each item will have hundreds of children, for which I don't really want a column for each child...
Is there a simple (or more complicated) way to hold and retrieve a large number of integers within one column... i.e. as some kind of sub-database, or an array with the column??

I have a database of more than a 100 columns, what I would like to do is to be able when I do my search query, is to be able to choose using checkboxes which data I want to appear in my result table. For example, I have master datas (name, adresses, registration, ...) and financial datas (returns, ranking, ...) and I would like to be able to have either one of these two datasets or both of them in my result table. I'm assuming that I need to use "IF" sentences (if checkbox1 is true then...) but I have been struggling integrating my sql queries in VBA. how to implement this minor thing?
