I have 4 ComboBoxen and 1 DatagridView into one Form. I make a code, for binding with 5 tables, each is own dataSet and dataAdaptor Is it possible to use one DataSet and one DataAdaptor for 5 Tables, so my code become shorter.
I think the solution is a SQL SELECT query, but i dont no for sure.If it is a SELECT query, ore something else, cane anybody help with make the code i need.

I have a report where I need the same data, but for four separate date ranges. Currently this data is based on one month, so it's just one dataset. But now I am trying to do this with four separate datasets, where each one is filtered on each of the four date ranges. I setup my WHILE loop to loop thru all four dates. But I'm having trouble now with distinct naming these datasets. Is this the best way to do this? It looks like if I used multiple datatables for one dataset, I'd have to define each datatable column. Here is my current dataset commandstring
View 8 RepliesI'm using vb.net and have a small project that displays data from a SQL Server database. I used the Data Source Configuration Wizard to create a dataset. I've noticed web sites and code samples that show coding to connect to a database and I've tried that with success. But I'm wondering what the difference is between the two and which is better to use. The only difference I can tell so far is that by using the wizard, the textboxes on my form are bound and I have a lot less coding to do. By hard-coding the connection, I have to bind the textboxes in code. Is that the only difference?
View 3 RepliesI have a taskfactory application that generates new tasks where a task is running a project exe file that involves a lot of classes. Part of the task process involves declaring a dataset and adding a single datatable to the dataset which is then populated with content from results of a sql query. This datatable is then used in the next class and involves iterating through the table and deleting the rows it has already used. When initiating a new task I assume that it will declare its own datatable and dataset but not sure if this will work.

I already know how to call insert, update, delete & select procedures in DataSet.xsd window. And I also know how to call queries by table adapters. But I just found out that its not possible to call all functions by queries (such as insert). It works when I test the query but when I try to add it, it says "Failed to get schema for this query". So I built a few stored procedures which do many functions (such as transaction, insert, update etc...). But I am unable to use these stored procedures in VB form. I found some tutorials mentioning that it can be done by defining connections and some other stuffs with which I don't want this to be. I want to call these procedures by writing code in VB code editor window with DataSets, TableAdapters, BindingSource etc...
View 2 RepliesSo I'm developing a program were, given some data by the user, the prorgam inserts some records into a database. To insert individual records in different tables I use either the standard INSERT method provided by the Table Data Adapter or a custom Insert Method when I want to insert something slightly differently.Sometimes the user would press a button and an operation where different records in different related tables are inserted. Since each Insert is handled individually for by the DataAdapters of each table, how can I manage to bring the whole thing to an atomic transaction way? I mean, let's say for example the User inserts a new Document in the system, the document has one or many Editions. How could i do something like: if the document was not created properly, then do not insert the editions.

View 4 RepliesIm just starting to develop an application using a SQL Database as the main datasource. Now im wondering is it better to use the in-built dataset adapters or write the querys yourself?
If its better to use the pre-generated scripts by using the Datasource UI, How can i use these datasets on a JOIN query?
Example Join
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
JOIN table_name2
ON table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name
Im currently making a program. It loads data from database fields into an combo box. Everything works so far, It just seems to be a mess. Do i need to have all the datasets and data adapters? or can i get away with just using 1 of each. It seems like im doing it wrong, and although it works it seems like a difficult and messy way of doing it.
Also i would like to assign the firshermenID to a variable depending on the fisherman name that is selected in the combo box. When button is pressed: id = fishermanID of the current fisherman (cmbFisherman.text)

I just read this post url...Post #2 by jmc states indicates the use of Entity Framework instead of typed datasets.when jmc says something I usually pay attention. I have a large app that I've been converting from VB6 to .Net and I've used mainly typed datasets.It's a single user app that uses an Access database. I'm have no problems retrieving the data from a table or multiple tables and I'm very happy with its preformance.Is it worth scapping what I've done and learn how to use Entity Framework? I should add that I'm near the end of my programming career not the beginning.
View 4 RepliesIn a typical session with the program I'm writing, the user needs to be able to access the data in 1 to 500 (maybe) tables (but always only one table at a time). Up to now I've been creating these single table datasets dynamically, as and when required.I've now come across the distinction between typed and untyped datasets (where typed seems to be the recommended option). It seems, though, that typed datasets are created at design time only and not dynamically. Is this correct? Are all of my dynamically created datasets therefore untyped?

I had a weird series of errors involving e.Graphics.DrawString() when painting a panel.I am using a barcode font [Code 128] with a library that converts text to the proper format for Barcode readers.That's fine, however, when I draw it to the panel, that's where things stop being fine:But, here's where things get funky. When I put it into a TextBox instead of drawing it via Graphics.DrawString(), everything is peachy:In fact, the TextBox one looks much better than the Graphics.DrawString() one! Am I doing something wrong?[code]
View 2 RepliesWondering if it is possible. It works on the idea that all files share common code. The program would ideally analyse the source file and compare it to the reference files. It would then find common parts of the code and write it to a rebuild file. At the end the rebuild file and the reference files would then be able to rebuild the source file without it being present.
For Example.
source file code = xxyyzyzyxw
ref file 1 = xyxxzyzxwyy
ref file 2 = zxxwyzzywxx
The program would then analyse these files and make a rebuild file like the following
source(0,1) = ref1(2,3)
source(2,3) = ref1(10,11)
source(4,7) = ref2(5,6) + ref2(5,6)
source(8,9) = ref2(2,3)
Thus you would be able to build the source file using these instructions and the reference files.
I'm trying to work with an ODBC driver for Interbase in VS2008 (vb). I succesfully inserted the data tables I want to use in the project datasource. Then I want to add some rows in one of the tables of the datasource. I used myDataSet.addTABLENAMErow(field1, field2, ...).The compiler gives me no error, but when I open the database with InterbaseConsole, the line I've add is not there. Do I do something wrong? Must I open/save the database (how do I do so). I've tried meDataSet.AcceptChanges whitout result.I'm not used to work with Datasets and tables...

I'm trying to combine two datasets, each with 1 datatable and each having the same schemas. Datatable 1 would have a list of records. Datatable two may, or may no, have some or all of the records from table 1 plus more records. I would like to remove all the records from table 2 that are present in table 1.
This is what I got so far:
For Each table1 As DataTable In ds.Tables
For Each row1 As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Rows
ds.Tables(0).PrimaryKey = New DataColumn() {ds.Tables(0).Columns(0)} 'Where 0 is the index of the column that's your key
row2 = ds2.Tables(0).Rows.Find(row1("ID"))
'if its found, delete it

I have a form that needs to load data for 20 different combo boxes - the data is always the same. To get the combo boxes to function properly i need to create a separate dataset for each combo box. Doing this when the form loads takes it about 7 seconds each time a search result is double clicked and the form pops up displaying the correct data. The form is bound to the main table. Is there a way to store these data sets in memory somewhere so the user can close the form but still have them loaded? I can put this code behind the login form and it works until the form is closed, then the combo's no longer load.[code]

I have declared a dataset (let's call it 'Fred') as public in a VARs module. In the main form in a sub routine called at the start of the project I connect to an Excel spreadsheet and read it into the 'Fred' dataset into one table (called 'Table') I then bind the dataset table to a datagridview and I can see the spreadsheet. Which is very nice :-)
Having loaded the dataset I want to be able to get some values so I created a button and used the following
msg = Fred.Tables("Table").Rows(0).Item("Name")
I think this should get the value in the first row and in the column called 'Name' in the table called 'Table'
But I get an error when I click the button 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' which I think means I need to use the 'New' keyword...
So I added to the button
Dim Fred = New DataSet
But I get the same error.
Now I have to admit that I've never really got my head around how to use the 'New' keyword and would have hoped to be able to get data from a dataset through my entire project - especially as I've declared it as 'Public'. Surely if I use 'New' all over the place then I create new datasets
What is the best way for me to have several datasets ?i've thought about creating a routine for creating datasets with a number in their names, each one with the desired data, but that's not very intelligent (although might work)i'd like to create what would be like an "ARRAY OF DATASETS"

I need to very quickly write an exe system on a laptop where when the laptops are connected to the network they read a database table and store the data locally, so staff can use the laptop while they roam.The laptops have quite small capacity and the company would prefer not to use SQL Express or Access.
My question is, can the data initially be downloaded into the exe application via a dataadapter and dataset, and will that dataset the retain the downloaded data, or will I need to ensure the dataset is written to an XML file and then loaded/unloaded each time the laptop application is started while the staff are travelling ?
What I'm looking for are videos in vb.net for console application that will show me how to use DataSets and TableAdapters step by step. Please provide links
