View 1 RepliesWhen i load my database i load it into a DataSet.When i search the database i load the results in to a DataTable.I want to find what index a search result has in the DataSet.When navigating the dataset i can use this code to get the index ds.Tables"Filmer").Rows.IndexOf(ds.Tables ("Filmer"). Rows(inc))But i can't make i get the dataset index of a search result from the DataTable.I thought that i could use the same code when navigating the DataTable, but it only returns.
View 3 RepliesI've been using VB for some time now, but I must admit I am a little confused. I started learning with 2002, then 2003, 2005 and now 2008. I think database coding must have been going through a kind of transition when I was trying to teach myself the basics. As a result, I am not entirely clear on a few things..
1) What's the difference between a DataTable and a DataSet. Why would I use one over the other?
2) Personally I dislike using DataAdapters etc and much prefer typing my connections in code so I can see what's what. When using the visual tools things are 'hidden' from view and it's not clear what's going on - do others find the same or is this just me being old fashioned?
3) Using my code-based approach (ie: creating SQL connection, using ExecuteNonQuery and a SQLDataReader to read the results into my application) - is this less efficient than the alternative methods?
4) Finally...LINQ. Is it any better and should I be using it as standard practice?
I am developing a Windows-application - database mssql - visual basic.I add Datasets to forms, bind them to daatagridview/textboxes - fill with dataadapter - everything's fine so far.
Here's my question:how do I programmaticaly move from a record/datarow i a dataset to another.I know the value of the key-field and want that record to be shown. If I use the dataset.datatable.findbykey-method, the program finds the record, but it doesn't move there.
I'm working on a helper class that will make things easier for me when connecting to and viewing a crystal report.Now I need to create a Property called DataSource. Crystal has a SetDataSource method that has 4 overloads/constructors(not sure what the right term is)1 accepts a System.Collections.Ienumerable, the 2nd accepts a Dataset, the 3rd a DataTable, and the 4th a DataReader.Now I want my property to be able to accept all those. So what Type must my property be.If I can just have DataSet and DataTable for now it would be fine, as I work with those mostly Public Property DataSource as?

View 2 RepliesI have code running in the Datatable.ColumnChanging event in my dataset. This dataset underlies a form and conventional drag/drop controls are in place for data entry.when the event triggers and runs, I am running code in the form that checks the dataset.HasChanges property. It is showing False. But this is immediately after the ColumnChanging event has been triggered.Okay, I see by others posts and MSDN that .HasChanges will only be true after moving off the row with the changed column. I have also noted lots of discussion about the advanced binding property of DataSourceUpdate Mode, but that does not address this issue.I guess I can do this by checking the state of the row for the binding source. Just seems odd that the event behind the dataset can be triggered and that does not change the dataset.HasChanges property.

how to copy data from datatable to table in dataset i ry this but its readonly property
ds.datatable1=newdt.copy
I've got two data tables with store numbers. I need to find out what store numbers are in one data table that arent in another.say one table A might look like:
34, 35, 39
the other table B may be
34, 35, 39, 45
I need to find the 45 If I use nested For Next I can get matches but anything not a match would show up not just the 45 value as the next progresses.

This is sometimes hard to administrate. So I would like to use a more efficent way. May thought was to Query a DataTable, make changes to it and then call .AcceptChanges and all changes where wrote back to the Database. But this seems not to be the way it works?The method .Update requires that i bring with my own update command, if i have to do that myself, why using the datatable, dataset... anyway?How do you write your DB Backend?
With SQLCommands arrays and variables?
With DataSet, DataTable?
With a VisualStudio genereated template?
With Linq?
I am using strongly typed dataset and have many tables in that. The problem is now I want to filter data from
GetData()
function which has a query like
select * from table_name
How can I filter a particular table and distinct values from it. Also if I try to filter it return all column but rest have null values except the one I asked, so I cannot assign it as a datasource to a datagrid or combobox. How can I do this..

What is the basic use of the created dataview?
I am new to vb.net and I am trying to query a database and print out the records in the row to the console window. I got it to work, but I have a feeling that there is a more concise way to do this. One thing that I am sure is wrong is that I had to convert the dataset to a datatable to be able to retrieve the values. Is that correct? Could you take a look at the code below (especially the for loop) and let me know what I can improve upon?
