VS 2008 - How To Display Records From Database Into Dropdown List
Mar 30, 2011
How to query a record in vb.net using combo or textbox via linq to sql like the search engine? Just like when you search in google or youtube, once you typed in the initial string on the textbox or combo box it will show a drop-down list. I tried to use it in my application using linq method but the problem is it would duplicate on the first string that you entered on the dropdown list if that record exist on your database after you press the space key. I used the code below which duplicates the records on the drop-down list when you type in your string after the space key.
I just want it to be like in any search engine that when you type in the string or your initial string, it will display on the drop-down list all the records from the database that contains the string you entered without duplication. In my case, I'm trying to query a name from my database. This is how it should work, For example, if you type an initial string in the textbox or combo box a named 'Mark', it should display all the names from the database containing 'Mark' into the drop-down list before it changes into its final string that you entered.
Here is the codes I used:
Private Sub ComboBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
ComboBox1.TextChanged
Dim db As New MultipleDatabaseOperationDataContext
Dim search As String
search = ComboBox1.Text
[Code] .....

I have a combo box that has a drop down list with long values in the drop down
Ex:
LB - Pounds
GR - Grams
When the user selects on of the values I want to just show the Abreviaqtions and not the descriptions. So when the drop down is shown it shows
LB - Pounds
GR - Grams
When the user selects "GR - Grams" from the drop down list "GR" is the only this shown in the combobox. I've tried TextChange,SelectedIndexChange and SelectedValueChange but I can't get them to work.

I have created a database with a couple of records to get started, also I have attemted to implement the database in my forms. I want to add, delete, edit and save new records into the database so when I use it or re open the program the entered data will still be there. Also, after I have implemented these things, I would like to be able to import data from the database into textfields or comboboxes. I have a basic email client and I would like to import these contacts into the datafields. However, I will be trying to achieve that later.I am trying not to use the data connection wizards as I am learning the code as I go along. I have been reading up on databases for about 2 days not and i'm still struggling.This is to add contacts with the fields.I have 7 labels with text boxes, using the naming convention lblFName or txtFName etc;
-First Name,
-Last Name,
-Nickname,
-Email,
-Phone number,
-Address and
-DOB
I have 4 buttons;
-Add record
-Delete record
-Save record
-Next record
-Previous record
I don't know whether to use datagridview, listboxes or something else to display the records.This is to give you an idea of what I have done so far.However, I cannot find a way; despite my best efforts over the last 5 days to link the database that is located in the same folder as my program.If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to code this into my program, or post some links of which I can read, learn and understand the code.

Given a datagridview, using complex binding I have a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn that displays data from a different table. My question is: when the dropdown list of the comboboxcell is shown is it possible to display a different text than the DisplayMember, lets say more detailed?I search for a solution but could not find any.

I searched "All Window Form" but I didn't find a thing which you use to select an item from a list by clicking on the selected item (like the thing you have to press on while selecting what Prefix you use when starting a thread). I guess it's easy to find, but I checked the whole list twice.

I am writing a VB 2008 program to display and update records from a sql database. This particular form is used to display and modify retail store information records from the database. I am running into an issue with saving the records once they have been changed.The error message I am getting is "Update requires a valid update command when passed DataRow collection with modified rows". I am including all of my code for the form because I am not sure what is relevant. I am getting the error when SaveTheEdit() is called on line 83. [code]

I need to load a large txt file that is in a fixed width format. There are over 45K lines, so speed is important.I need to load one of the fields into a dropdown box and have another field (label) display the text of another field in the related line.I could import the file to an access db if needed, but would rather not as i also want the txt file to update from a link on a regular bases. So having it in a DB would be more work to process that part.[code]

I have 2 forms in my visual basic 2010 project. Both are connected with an SQL 2008 Server where i keep a db with customers records(name,surname,address, etc).What i want to do is to give certain criteria in the first form, lets say name,and hit a search button. The program should search the db if the specified name exists.If it exists i want to show the results in the second form.By results i mean the name , surname, address,etc. If it does not exist i want to prompt the user to insert data into the db.The problem is that i know how to do this work in a single form but not how to make the two forms "communicate" with each other (meaning that one does the search and the other the projection-adding part).
Edit:I tried setting the filters but all i get is errors. I will post whatever i have written so far in case someone can help me out. So here it is.As i stated earlier i know how to search for the data in a single form(lets call it DisplayForm). As Olivier mentioned i have textboxes for the records, a combo box with the search criteria(name , surname,id) and a Search button that perfoms the search and populates the text boxes. The code for the search button is this:
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim intPosition As Integer
'Combo box code
Select Case cboField.SelectedIndex
[code]....
I want this procedure be done in a second form (lets call it FormSearch) and populate the textboxes in form DisplayForm.
