Attaching A Sqlexpress 2005 MDF Via Filename For Bcp Use In Vb 2008
Aug 9, 2008
is there any way to attach a sql mdf by filename but actually make the database name something else?
the problem i'm having is that my connection string attaches the database just fine, but it gives the database a name of it's full path on the hard drive when i pull it up in SSMSE. ie. "c:program filesmy programmy database.mdf" is shown as the name when i do a sqlcmd and issue a select name from sys.databases
the snag is being hit due to the fact that i'm trying to do a "bcp in" and because a: there are spaces in the database name, and b: there's the .mdf extension also added to the database name that when i run my bcp in command it errors out, even if i use the -q option of bcp.
if i start SSMSE and right click the database and rename it, bcp works great - so my question is, how do i correctly format my connection string to attach to c:program filesmy programmy database.mdf, yet have it attach the database as "mydatabase" for use in bcp statements?
i've been to connectionstrings.com and they only cover the standard connection strings
in summary - i want to attach an mdf file programmatically and specify the name that ssmse see's it as....

I'm trying to export a table called material from a sqlexpress 2005 .mdf file called mydatabase to a csv file programatically in vb2008. i was looking at bcp and the shell command to call it, but simply can't get it to work - i'm calling it like so:
Shell("bcp mydatabase..material out 'c: est.txt' -c -T -S .SQLExpress")is there a way to do this without the shell? i would think it would be a little more professional looking for the app as a whole...

Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

i have a list of links on a form and when you click one, it will set a specific groupx visible to true in a set position. So I have about 8 groupbopx control on this form. When I drag one out of the way and another in the form in design time, it seems they stay inside one another at times if they overlay. I don't understand this. Then some will not show at runtime depending where they arer left from design time even though I set the position to be in the form. This is completely different from vb6. Why are they staying inside other groupbox controls rather than being independent?

I am trying to trim the path from a filename. With the following code, it returns "My Documents" where I should be getting "Test.txt". if I change the 1 to a 4 I get what I'm looking for, but that's not going to work if I'm working with a file deeper into subdirectories. I need it to display the name of the file regardless of location or file type.

I want to add a picture in my picturebox. I can do this with a normal link to my directory, but I want it relatively.I also have another problem with this picturebox. For some rows in my database, there isn't a filename in the Picture column. And when I select this row in my program. The program crashes because the program can't find a filename.What can I do to make sure that my program keeps working and that there is just no picture in my picturebox?This is the code I have now

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseDoubleClick
If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

I'm so glad I found this forum. I have been trying for days to connect VB.NET Express to SQLExpress using a very simple, one-table database just for testing with no luck. Then I found this forum and the FAQ and used the template for binding a VB Form to SQL and with a few slight modifications and had success.
I'm connecting using the default instance of SQL (no user instance) and after substituting the the "user Id=" and "password=" section of the connection string with "Integrated Security=SSPI" I was finally able to get data returned from SQL server into VB in a Grid Control.
Now for my question. It's a general thing. Yes, I got that to work but in a complete database scenario, would the connection to the database be done in a Public Sub and left open throughout the duration of the GUI interface (passing in the user ID and password as needed) ..until the user logs off? In other words, the template example closes the connecttion immediately after retrieving the data from the database - and I realize this is an example of simply connecting. So, What is the usual scenario (in the real world for connecting and keeping that connection open for the duration of a user session. Where in the VB app should the connection string really be placed and the connection.(close) be placed?I'm not looking for an extremely detailed answer, just an "in general" scenario.I tend to dive in head first and so, I truly look for answers elsewhere before posting a question but haven't really found an answer to this exact question.

I have several programs I have written for my music studio/production company. Many dealing with inventory, customer DB etc. All of my programs are in VB6 and I have started to convert them all to VB.NET. I am getting proficient with VB.NET and connecting to DB using the very simple and generic connection strings, Example:
dbProvider = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
dbSource = "Data Source = C:/develop/Customer Tracking/resource.mdb"

1) In order to access the SQL server enable the TCP/IP, NamedPipes and SQLbrowser on the SQL Server.

3) Using SQL Server Management Studio or VBcode in the VB Project create a Server DataBase called "dbName"

I have an application that has a list of string that needs to be search in a database table field to select rows with the same name and retrive the values of one particular fields that contains the file name with extention for that string. With this new generated text file, I pass the filename with the extension and search the folders that are listed in a txt file. All of this works fine.
Now I need a more simple version of this application, without using the database to get the filename with extension. Instead, read the text file with input strings, search in the folders listed in another text file(to know the location of the folders to search for the string). If any file that matches with the string in the text file, I need to copy those files to another folder.
