VS 2008 Setting A Primary Key And Changing The Names Of Some Fields On Database File?
Aug 5, 2011
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 ,

We have this current VBA program to help us with AutoCAD via the use of a template excel sheet.The setup we have created works well; however occasionally we have two drawings per folder, which often results in, two templates excel sheets of the same name, one overwriting the other. how I can set the active drawing name in a variable that our program uses to check for, then if not present that it creates a copy of out template and then saves it as the active drawings file name which was set as the variable
This would allow our program to locate the associated excel sheet by name then save it by the unique drawing name and prevent existing excel files being overwritten if in the same folder.
;===CODE STARTS HERE===
Option Explicit
Private Objexcel As Excel.Application
Private ObjWorkbook As Workbook

Im using VB to set default dates and times for the file names when a form is saved through InfoPath, this is what I have so far:
[code...]
This works but i need to format it to this:
ddmmyyy and hhmmss
I need zero's before single characters as if its only a single character then it only displays 1 eg if its 9 in the morning it'll display 9 rather than 09 and i need 09.

I'm currently refactoring an old Visual Basic DLL (VB.Net), which stores all of its data in one module called Globaldefinitions as public fields. There are about 200 fields, referenced thousands of times all around the code:
Public Module Globaldefinitons
Public a As Short
...
Public zz10 As Double
[Code]...
I need to change the module into a class with non-shared fields. This means, each and every of these thousands of references needs to reference the instance of that class:
globalDefinitionsInstance.a = 5
How do I go about this efficiently?
Regular expressions operating on the source fall flat. Refactoring tools like Re-Sharper or CodeRush don't seem to offer this functionality. Visual Studio 2010 cannot do it automatically either.

ive been reading this forums and it already helped me a lot with my application, im new to visual studio and im currently developing an aplication for my school project in vs 2008.Im using a simple access database with only 2 tables and I creadted a form with a datagrid to show all data inside the tables, and now i want to create search buttons for each field of the table . like, "seach by Name", Seach by date" etc... i tried to use the simple code
Code:
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim cod As String
cod = InputBox("Type the Id to search: ", "Search By ID")
If cod <> " " Then
[code].....
My biggest problem now is that this code works very well to search by id (which is my table primary key), but now i want to search by other fields and this code only allows to search by primary key! Is there any way to use something similar to this code to search by other fields?

I have been trying desperately to update a data base file (Microsoft Access file) through a DataGridView control. The form is very simple, containing only a button and the DataGridView control. Whenever I change anything on the DataGridView control and press the Update button, I get an error saying ""No value given for one or more parameters". Below there's a picture showing both my form and the whole code , along with the error message. In case it is not possible to update a data base file through a DataGridView control.

I have noticed that whilst in the past using MS Access you could have a primary key field on a form and have it not visible. You could still use it for Dlookups etc using the value in the field no problem even though it is not visible. In Vb if i hide a textbox that is bound to a PK field in a datasource and try to use its value in code i get an error. Making the field visible again prevents the error. My goal is to use a PK bound textbox not visible to the user but still read its contents.
Also, what is the equivalent of a simple DLOOKUP in VS2010? EG. You have the PK and want to know, say 3 other pieces of information from the record based upon the PK you have.

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 about 7,000 files (with temporary file names) that I need to replace with specific file names.
I figure I can match up the temp file names with the needed file names in
access. I'm not sure where to go from there.
I do not have to use a database if there is another way of going about it
but I do not think there is.
amounts of file names to unqiue IDs/names?

I've been attempting to tinker around with connecting a MS access database to a vb 2008 app. I've successfully connected and can access the data by using the add data sources tab. But what I'm trying to do is create a form that has a (1) single line text box, (1) button, and (1)multi line text box. I enter a name in the single line text box, click the button(search db), and when the info is found, it is displayed in the multi-line text box.

I am building VS2008 app using Data Source Wizard. The Data connection is working. The Table Adapters are built. The DataSet is created and I can preview data through it. I used drag/drop from the DataSource/DataSet to put a DataGridView onto a form.I can view the records there. I can delete records there. But when I update or add records from there, all of the data is not getting changed. I am connected to ISeries DB2. If I add a new record the only field that get populated in the database is the key field (the first field in the file). If I update a record in the database, the only field that gets changed is the key field.

I have a series of text boxes in my form that can accept 6 digits. Upon entering the 6th digit I want the focus to move to the next text box. Is there a way to initiate a Tab command (just putting chr(9) didn't work...so that may be wrong) once the counter hits 6? I currently have the following code, using the .focus command but I am hoping to not have to create 25 subs to set focus to the next. My current
Private Sub txtEnter1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtEnter1.KeyDown
[Code]...
I can't just add txtEnter2.KeyDown (etc.) to the Handles of the sub declaration because then they would all set the focus to txtEnter2 instead of to the next text box. I'm sure it is something ridiculously easy but it is escaping my grasp.

I have a DetailsView which has two fields - one that is visible, one that is not. The first the user fills out, the second I want to auto-populate. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to set the value in this second invisible field. I've tried adding code like this to the Page_Load:
If Not IsPostBack Then
DetailsView1.DefaultMode = DetailsViewMode.Insert
Dim txt1 As TextBox = DirectCast(DetailsView1.FindControl("Type"), TextBox)
txt1.Text = "administrator"
End If
But this returns an error of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Any ideas on how to accomplish this - either using the method above or another method?The hoped for end result is that when a new record is inserted via the DetailsView that this record will include the username (entered by the user) as well as the "type" of "administrator"

VB.Net's DataGridView supports naming columns, but I was wondering if it could somehow do the same for rows, so that we could use something like this:
With DataGridView1
.Rows.Add(4)
.Rows(0).Name = "Setting1"
[Code].....
Do you confirm that it's not possible and we must use numeric indexes to refer to row numbers?

I am on my second project. I made the mistake of trying to use my first project as a template thinking there was a 'Save All As...' which I found there wasn't.
I went through the whole project and now it is forcing me to use the folder names that everything is saved in from my first project and my professor wants the directories named a certain way.
If I try and change the names of the folders, then upon re-opening my solution I get errors because the directory has changed.
Is there a way for me to change the directory names and not have my program fall apart? Or re-direct it where to look after I change the folder names?

Re DataGridView Sorry don't really have any code - just a whole project. Basically I changed the underlying Access (accdb) Table by adding a new field, The new field shows up in the DataSources section of the Solution Explorer and in the "Edit DataSet with wizard" page but when I attach the binding source to a datagrid view, the new field is not there. I also created a new bindingsource but still not there.I just noticed I've another table where I changed the names to something more meaningful, and the old names are still there and the data for those fields doesn't display in the DataGridView

I have an application that's going to be portable so it's likely the path of the database itself (access mdb file) will change so hard wiring the path in the app.config isn't practical. I would like to create a 'Settings' form for the user to enter the path (browse for would be ideal but I can figure that out later) of the database file and save it for future use with the same app. I've found a few things out there talking about creating a new app.config file alongside the original with a 'key' defined but I'm not sure how that relates to the original app.config and how it would call the new variable to make the connection.
