VS 2008 Linking Access Database To A List Of Labels With Link Integration?
May 4, 2011
I am working on a project that requires us to create a bracket type tournament and I am now stuck. I linked my access database to my project, and have 32 labels (lbl1-lbl32) and I cannot figure out how to integrate the labels to read from my database. It can be random or not, I just cannot get the labels to display the names of the fighters.
After the labels are integrated, the next coloum of the bracket has a link that opens a new window with each of the fighters match results, does the link have to include anything particular to display the attributes from the database?

The Calendar control (the Month Calendar) control in VB 2008. I am creating an attendance timesheet and I want the Calendar to color each date differently like e.g An employee Paul is selected from a list.
On the calendar I select the month. (The dates are not supposed to be selectable). Then lets say it is June. He is late on the 1st and the Second, so those days are supposed to be colored red (the whole block). Let's also say he is absent on the fourth and so I want that date to be coloured black. How do I do this? I tried finding a query and my friend told me that this functionality is not available in the current control and that I was best off making my own control (???).
I have tried selecting specific dates and bolding them (there is a function that allows this) but I am stumped trying to find two different ways to differentiate colours. Second:- How do I link a calendar with an Access Database?

After trawling around the net for a good few days, i decided to post something here.
Basically, i've got a problem linking a data source (Access 2007 database) to a VB 2008 project.
I've broken it down to having a problem dragging a table onto my form, when it generates the nav bar, it says "0 of {0}", and the table is empty (despite the actual database containing values)
However, this happens only at home, at college it works totally fine. The only difference that's obvious is that i'm using Windows 7 at home, and Windows XP at college.

I have created some tables in 2007 and would like to use visual basic to create an interface for a database. I would like to add, edit, and view my records and maybe create reports.
Does anyone know of any online tutorials which would help me to do this or could anyone offer any guidance.
I look forward to any replies.

I am a student at the University of Findlay in Ohio. In our software engineering class we were given an assignment to make a database of 2 tables in Access. Simple enough. We then had to integrate that database in to VS. Again, quite simple. Along with that we are to make 4 reports that can be displayed to the user.
The problem comes here. I can not figure out how to allow the user to select say a Recruiter Number and show all the Clients who that recruiter is in charge of as well as the amount of money they owe and what they have paid already. Also I need to total those two values.

How to link my app to an Access database - there seems to be a number of approaches. I can add in my database via the Data Sources tab. Fine if I want to bind controls and view/edit data. But is this the best approach for queries that return an answer that is a different shape to the original table? Alternatively I can connect to the database directly (connection string, etc) and run sql queries. What are advantages/disadvantages of each approach? In terms of flexibility, is the second approach best? Also, does the second approach require the database to be added via the Data Sources tab?

I would like to know how I can link up my listbox to the access database.For example: I have a textbox where I enter a code and a button that says enter and the code has an item that corresponds to it and that item must appear in the listbox as well as any other items that I need to put in the listbox.

I'm trying to link Access database with GridView control.Here's the question: One successful procedure to link database query.
[code]...
However, I got error of "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized." on da.Fill(dt) when running the second time. First time was successful.OK I finally got mistake corrected. I gotta Dim cn As New OleDbConnection("Provider = Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source = C:Class.mdb") again to use query instead of once for all queries.

So i'm creating a simple application as an example that is to link to a Access 2007 database.
On my main form i have four listboxes that are correctly attached to the table, I have one for First Name, Last Name, Phone, and School. I added 3 records to the database in Access to see if I could display the records in the listboxes on the form. I found that it was very easy by setting the properties and I have no problem there. I also have a command button that loads a new form for the purpose of adding a record to the database.
Here is my main form (frmMain.vb)...
CODE:
And Here is the code for the form...
CODE:
What i'm looking for is when the user presses the Add button on the frmAddNew form then it needs to close and the new record is listed in the textboxes and saved to the database. Id also like to know all kinds of things i might be able to do with textboxes and databases because i'm trying to learn for a larger project where i'll need to keep track of hundreds of records.
I understand that this is a simple procedure, but i've been spending all night scouring tutorials and getting lost in the msdn library online, so maybe some human input will be better.

So I'm doing an assignment with VS 10 at college that involves making a program for calculating orders but got stuck in trying to link the "invoice" listbox for the receipt to the one on my main form.
Let me illustrate my example:
This is the "main menu" is where the user adds bikes, edits existing ones and deletes if needed.
This is my receipt form, it opens perfectly fine and even shows the totals that are stated in my main form:
However, the listbox in my receipt form doesn't link or take in the information stored in my main form, which in this case, would be all the bikes. Here's my
Public Class BillForm
Private Sub ReceiptForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
What is wrong with it? The text boxes link up, but the list box always shows up empty when I try to add some bikes in on the main form.

This is what I'm sure will be the first of many noob-ish questions from yours truly... I'm studying as a mature student for a Computing Degree (encompassing web design, hardware, programming and systems analysis). The programming seems to be my weak spot this year. I enjoyed C++ last year, doing basic console applications, but progamming visually with VB in Visual Studio 2008 I'm struggling!

./server 1234

when two modules are connected, different messages can be sent from the client to the server.now what i want to achieve is to send the command from the web application to the c program... so by a button click the c program would run and send the command...

Does anyone know if this is possible:
1. Create VB9 application that monitors an Outlook Inbox.
2. When an email from a particular recipient is received, open the attachment (Excel.xls)
3. When the attachment opens, a macro is executed and the sheet is re-formatted (have already coded this bit in VBA).
4. Save the re-formatted sheet, re-attach to an email and send.
As mentioned, I have already done 3 and I have done 4 in other applications. What I am unsure how to tackle are points 1 and 2.
Has anyone had any experience with something along these lines?

I am teaching myself VB, and when I first managed to do what the post title says, I ended up with a combo box filled with values from the column of a table in a linked db. But later when I updated the VB Form and tried linking the database on this revision of the project,and then added the details to the combo box where to read the values and run the form, nothing displays in combo box. Here is what I did:In the IDE of VB, I went to "Add New Data Sources" -> Database -> New Connection -> Browse -> (selected filename of db) -> Next -> Select "yes" (put in current project) -> Next (save connection name) -> tick boxes for tables in database to connectThen in combo box control properties i set the Data Source (Other Data Sources -> Project Data Sources -> (dataset name) -> Table Name

Im not too sure if this is the correct place for this question, but I couldn't find anywhere else..Heres what i want to do. I have two tables in an Access DB. TableA and TableB. Each Table has only one column called Picture, and that column is filled with the names of pictures (picture1, picture2, picture3, etc)
Thing is, that The pictures in TableA have equivalent pictures in TableB. They are not named the same, but the pictures themselves are the same i.e.: TableA Picture1 = TableB Picture3, TableA Picture2 = TableB Picture5.
What i Would like to create is a form that has two datagrids, or Listboxes populated with the data from each table. One for TableA, One for TableB. When the User selects a picture from one of these controls, The other control must show which picture the selected one corresponds to (if i select TableA Picture1, TableB Picture3 becomes selected showing that they match)
I think that most of the work will be at the actual DB, somehow linking each and every field, maybe a one to one link between fields/cells in the DB, then in VB calling that one record that was clicked on, seeing what relation it has to the other table,
