I want to handle errors that might occur when user tries to connect to database. I don't know how to do that.This is my connection string used all over the program:
Using connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + txtFilePath.Text + ";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" + txtFilePassword.Text + ";")
There are a few errors that i faced them myself:
[code].....
Using the following
If GeBrowse.DownloadString("URL GOES HERE").Contains("CHECKS FOR TEXT HERE.") Then
Something goes here
If there is no apparent internet connection, how would i create an error handling Message box or something of the sort?
Sometimes when my server is down or busy, I get an error saying "connection timeout" while connecting to MySQL. But with the error the program also crashes. My question is how can I prevent crashing, it would be better to show a msgbox when this happens. (visual basic 2010)here is a screenshot of the error
I use this,
Dim connStr As String = "Database=mydatabase;" & _
"Data Source=datasrc;" & _

I have written a program which connects to MS sql express 2008 using the string below. This is OK on my computer but when I try to run this on a client computer I get the following message: "An attempt to attatch an auto-named database for file :(C:UsersBarry2010 vb programsadotrialadotrialResults 6.mdf) failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."

I used the following code(with bug):
Code:
For n = 0 To 100
If saveLine(n).Substring(0, 8) = "heading:" Then
cboSelect.Items.Add(saveLine(n).Substring(8))
End If
Next n
The For loop only ran 5 times. It turned out that saveline(5) was shorter then 8 characters, so I changed the code which solved the problem:
Code:
For n = 0 To 100
If saveLine(n).Length > 8 Then
[code]....
VB 2010 neatly exits the for loop when the bug occurs. In this case it was easy for me to pick up the bug, because the combo box was not properly populated. What if it was not obvious that the for loop did not complete? It is quite scary to think that bugs like this are not displayed at run time.
I am trying to add some error handling for AppActivate if any error occurs.I initially tried using a try statement and cancelling the sub that calls the function where my AppActivate code is, but that didn't work.I have tried looping it, changing values and everything I know. I have Googled and nothing :S
Here is my I have removed all the error handling I tried to implement, however, this commented msgbox I would like to be included (that is, possible to execute) in any methods you present.

I was just wondering if it is considered overkill to add:

To every sub in your project. And what would be the side effects of this if any.
In the Catch of Try-Catch there are the following two properties:
e.Exception.Message.Count()
e.Exception.Message
Does the .Count mean there are multiple lines in .Message? If not, what is the .Count used for?
i am using access database for my program. now i have connected to the database in MDI form of main exe, and ir also works, user can log in, it gets verified etc etc etc. now here is the problem, when i load a form from dll and try to use any sql query on that form, i get message, "database connection is not opened". so what i did was, i added the connect() (a function i designed to connect to database) in the load part of the dll's form, it made the trick, query's started to run, everything went fine, and when i reload the form i.e after closing the form, i load it again from MDI form, i get error, connection already open..

View 5 RepliesI've added a database to my application with 2 fields:"ip" address and "started" that holds the number the application was started from that specific IP.I want to upload the database to my site hosted at google.sites. When the program is started it should make a connection with the following cases:
1-no connection with the database (possible no internet available) - it should display an error message
2-there is connection, the IP is not stored on the database, it addes the IP to the database and the field "started" with the value 1
3-there is connection, the IP is stored on the database, it increments the field "started" by 1
How do you actually handle connection Timeout to the database.Given a scenario where you are processing data half way through and the database crashed . So your connection between the database and your application would be broken. Most likely throw an exception error if u handle exceptions.What are your suggestions or your preferred way of handling such scenarios.

I have an MS Access 2003 database built that resides on a shared network path at the company I work for.The database works perfectly for users connected directly to the company network.However, when a user tries to open the database while connected remotely to the company network (they can still access the shared path), they receive the following error:The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.At the time that they tried it, they were the only person accessing the database.They tried a local copy as well as a copy on the network shared drive.[code]

I have a problem connecting to an access database. I'm currently trying to build a login/register program that reads the username and password from a database and allows login if the specified username and password are found. I have code that will work properly for that so that's not an issue. However, when I make an attempt to register a new username along with a bunch of other things such as email, password, etc. I am unable to because the database connection is closed. The code I'm currently using to open the database connection is :

However, when I try to use this code to open the connection to the database, it leaves the connectionstate closed. I decided to then build in as a test, a block of code that would check on load to see if the connectionstate is open or closed. Each time I've run it so far by making a few changes it always tells me that the connectionstate is closed no matter what I do.
is there a function that will allow coders to connect to multiple database? by just changing the connection string and not the variable declaration ...example:connecting to access is something like this

for sql is something like this
Dim Con As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConString)
is it possible? acctually in vb 6.0 it is possible ...

I have developed a windows forms application in vb.net 4 which connects to a MSSQL database. I have used the built-in tools to add the data source, data connection and data set. (Data->add new data source-> etc.) The application is installed on staff laptops which may or may not have network connectivity and may or may not be able to access the server on which the database is held. Obviously this is causing unhandled errors when the program starts and tries to make a connection to the database. (using windows credentials) Does anyone know where in the code the connection is made so I can go in and add some error handling? Or any settings I can change to get visual studio to handle the errors nicely?

I've searched the forums but never seems to find an answer for this one.. I recently connected to MySQL database server "Automatically" in Visual Studio 2010. I want to know if there's a way to determine the connection state for "Automatically created" connections in Visual Studio 2010. I know how to do it for"programmatically created" connections but just want to know how on the auto-generated ones.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a chat application using online connection to a mysql databbase. But i am facing a problem. After 10 minutes, MySQL closes all the chat connections because of the 600 seconds timeout (has been set by the host service i am using). I don't understand why is that happening cause every piece of my code which needs data from the database opens and closes the connection (i mean that it dosn't maintain the connection after the query's execution). If i .close() and .dispose() the connection, it still appears in mysql at sleep mode (it terminates only if i exit the program).
