VS 2008 Cannot Read Integer As Primary Key To Save To Database
Nov 13, 2009
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and MS Access 2007.
I have linked the database to vs2008.
The first problem I have now is how to add all the data to the combobox from access 2007? [I have solved this myself accidentally.]
The second problem I have is I cannot save the primary key.
Assume that I have these:
Table name: tCustomer
Fields:
ID Datatype [Text]
[Code]....
Now, the user fills in the form. The ID cannot be edited by them where it's automatically counts the number of customer in database and give the id. For example, I already have 3 customers in the database so when I add new Customer, it will be 4 for the ID.
When I click save, it shows me the message of "Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value." I have set an input mask for my Customer. So, can I make it to save in a format like CT001, CT002, CT003 automatically?
I have the following query... The only unique identifier i can use is the Primary Key (Access backend). I have a txt box on the form that displays this... I know this is not the best way to accomplish this. But my problem is the datatype here. This is my query:
Is that possible to save values from a listbox to mysql database? I guess yes. I have a list of values in a listbox obtained from splitting a file. The strings are like numbers but they are of type string. What I need is to get those values in the database in the integer type. How can I proceed?
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 ,
Using a "Numeric up down" or text box, how would i save the number the user picked to a variable and then add two to that number?a textbox would be preferable
I import a XML to a Dataset and works fine, import XML with Schema and fine to, but for any estrange reason the primary key that is in the XSD don't appears in the Dataset.
The XML and XSD are generated from a access 2003 table, right button and export.[code]...
I would like someone to modify the following code to save data to generate the primary key for each record automatically. In the database,the ID column is the primary key and the Is Identity is set Yes.
On a client i have an anonymous list containing a multi-column primary key previously selected from the DB.Then i need to select all the records from the DB that equals the primary key list i have stored in the memory.[code]
How do I read all the text from a text file and save it as a string variable? For some reason I remembered it being something like this: IO.FromFile.ReadAllText("path") but thats not it.
where projectName is a String, and DbDataSet is my dataset. The variable projectId is the ID of the row I want to extract the data from, but every time I run my code I get a NullReferenceException.
I know that the row with the primary key value of projectId exists because I can see it when I view through server explorer.
So Im making a program with 2 different data tables where different columns from those tables are used in different tabs in the same form. This all works good and well so far, but I have one issue which just drives me mad, and a couple minor ones.
1. I have an ID column in each data table marked as Primary Key, Unique and Identity. Problem is that even if I choose to hide this column it just randomly decides if it actually is visible or not. Most often its visible. I dont get it, doesnt this function work? Do I use it wrong? Im not using any code for this, just right click on the data grid, press Edit Columns... And change the Visible to False. It works for all other columns all the time as far as I can tell, but for my ID column its just random.
2. Im wondering if its possible to align the text in some of the columns of my data table to the right, note I only want some of them, not all of them.
3. Is it possible to do maths with the values from the columns in a table on the same row? Like for example having column 3 = column1 + column2?
I'm creating a form that will be used to update fields in a table. I don't want the user to be able to update primary keys though, so I'm trying to disable the textbox so it can't be edited.
The textboxes are created during runtime, so I'm trying to create an If loop that will see if it is on the primary key column, but i'm unsure of how to do this. I tried doing this:
If dt.Columns(i).Unique = True Then t(i).Enabled = False End If
But this didn't work. I found an option called PrimaryKey which would go dt.PrimaryKey... something (I'm guessing) but just unsure of how to use it.
I'm using vb2005express for forms (front-end) and ms access database. I have a form with a master-detail setup. The problem I'm having is that when I set the primary key column to autonumber, I don't get the pk value generated in ms access database into my master datatable in forms when a new record is created. Then I tried setting the AutoIncreament to True in the pk column of the datatable in my dataset (forms). This generates a number in my pk column but its not the number generated in the database (since I think because the pk column is still set to AutoNumber). So I change the field property of my pk to Number in the access database and on my dataset (forms), i still have AutoIncrement to True.
This works okay since what it seems to be doing is getting the max value for the pk column when the datatable is filled upon form load. The problem now is that I normally don't do tableadapter.fill(datatable) at form load since I think there would be a performance issue if record counts around millions. What happens now is that when I create a new record, the pk generated is still 1 which will cause duplicate violation when saving to database. I'm not quite familiar with access features but in oracle, what I do is I create a sequence in database then I create a function that gets the next value of the sequence. Then at form load I set the datatable.column.default_value = get_sequence. How do I do this in ms access?
i am wondering if it is possible to get the source code for the following:
1. use vb.net code to set on/off primary key when connected to Access database
2. update a particular data.
for e.g: hostname: AES-19 *use source code to check data in Microsoft Access database if hostname is new, insert into Access. if hostname already exist, update into Access *so that i will not have duplicate data in Access.
How do I fetch the loginID and display the student data on the textbox?E.g. I login with loginID of 18 but it only display the data of 12
Private Sub frmLibrary_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'LibraryDataSet.Student' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed. Me.StudentTableAdapter.Fill(Me.LibraryDataSet.Student) End Sub
I have managed to successfully create a logon page and have created a form to insert data into one of my tables using text boxes and a "Save" button, however the first field in the table is the named "CustomerID" and is set to Autonumber, this is the primary key of the table. If I enter a record into the table in Access it automatically enters the next valid ID however when I can't seem to make this happen when entering data via my VB form!
I am trying to append multiple rows in a SQL Server.I have connected to the MS SQL Server and with a DataAdapter, I have downloaded the Table into a DataTable and displayed it in DataGridView.I now want to programatically enter multiple rows into the DataTable and later to update the SQL Table.
I am trying to build an application to do this generically.The problem I have is that the Table and DataTable has an 'ID' Field. In the SQL DB, i is an Auto-incrementing field.When the code loops through creating new rows and entering field values, how do I handle the ID Field that is the Primary Key?
When I add a new row to an access database, I would like the primary key to be automatically incremented and entered. I've got this to work using a sql database, but it doesn't work with access for some reason. The following code works if I give the code a value for "@key" which is my primary key column. If I leave it out I get the error "Number of query values and destination fields are not the same". I don't want to have to supply the primary key, I want it to generate automatically.

In the database the primary key is type "AutoNumber". Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Im trying to develop a frontend for a database project I have been working on, I am using a combobox to select a meal_name and need the primary key to update another table for orders, How can I retreive the primary key using the meal name selected.below is the code I am using to add meal names to the combobox
Private Sub ComboBox1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.MouseEnter Dim myRow As DataRow Dim CmdStr As String[code].........
when i will enter form no. in the text box this should check the on the lost focus event either this form no. is already exsist or not.if exist show msgbox?
How do I increment a primary key that is in integer digit format to a record when adding or pressing an "Add New" button that I have on my form. In other words, I have a 'Add New' Button that has the code following:
[code]...
As you can see from the above code, that most of the textboxes are cleared so that a enduser can insert his or her values and information. Currently, I do have the OrderNumber which is the primary key cleared, however, I would rather have this field auto incremented to the next digit. For some reason, at the moment, I just do not know where to begin to set this field so that a digit canbe inserted and incremented rather than cleared.
i need a functionality that adodb.recordset have on ado.net right now im developing my project in school but seem to difficult for me to handle give me an idea what should im going to use here can i hindrance that made me stock.i what to retrieve the last row on the database to be able to automate my primary key code that been a varchar(10).i know some basic stuff on connecting thru ado.net,inserting,updating,deleting could you have some advice or post some example that might use of it..
I have a number of word documents I am converting. Everything is going great until I get a file that is read only. In this case I get a Save As prompt.
Is there any way to open the file in read/write format? I should have admin privileges so access isn't an issue.
I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically
I have the code below that reads 7 chars from the address "00ea54e8" that belong to another process. This one works perfectly.
My problem is that I need another subroutine to read a 4 byte integger from the address "01640850". Since this code is made by peaces I found on the Internet I just can't figure out how to make it work.
Private Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Int32, ByVal bInheritHandle As Int32, ByVal dwProcessId As Int32) As Int32 Private Declare Function ReadProcessMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias
I'm reading the registry values under the uninstall registry keys. I use string variables to store the program name and program version. This usually works fine but for example Firefox 10.0 appears to be less the Firefox 9 since the version is a string value. V is the string variable that stores the DisplayVersion found in the registry is there a way to read registry valuables to integer?[code]..
