Avoid Error When Displaying Empty MS Access Fields In VB?

Feb 15, 2012

I have a database with lots of fields, some of which are still empty and are to be filled in at a later stage. Is there any way of writing an IF statement (or any other method) that will allow these empty records to be 'shown' in my textboxes in Visual Studio, without receiving the error:

Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.

Create Word Form Fields With Memo Fields From Access?

May 27, 2012

I'm trying to create a table in Word using data from a table in Access. There are four fields in the access table that I need. 3 fields are text which I can populate the Word without any issues. However the fourth field is a memo with >255 characters.I'm struggling to come up with the proper code to allow me to populate the Word field with the memo data that has more than 255 characters. The code I have so far is listed below. But when it hits the memo field, it crashes on the line I marked with **. I know it's not text, but I've tried many different field types, but nothing has worked so far.[code]...

VS 2010 Testing For Empty Fields?

Mar 14, 2011

I used to run into problems with this in VB6, too...

If Not ds_Students.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("ClassDay2").IsNullOrEmpty Then
txtClassDay2.Text = ds_Students.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("ClassDay2")
End If
This produces "Public member 'IsNullOrEmpty' on type 'DBNull' not found."

And is there a different test for fields of different data types?

VS 2008 Passing Empty Fields To SQL Table?

Nov 9, 2010

I'm trying to add a service company from a vb form to an SQL table. It works as long as I enter something in every field on the form. If not I get a syntax error so I thought I should check that the field values were not null

I've tried to add a sub to check for blanks but it's not working

btw the table will allow nulls for all fields

Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click

Skip Empty Database Fields And Goto Next Step

Dec 4, 2009

How to tell the program that if the field is empty to skip it and go to the next step. I have tried IsEmpty (but it tells me the variable IsEmpty was not declared), I have tried to use different If statements but in most cases I get the message
"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid."

I tried using an integer variable and setting it to
'Test = CStr(dt.Rows(I)("socSecNumber")).Length'.
It works for the first step (which makes sense b/c socSecNumber is never empty), but when I set the 2nd and 3rd ones
(TestFName = CStr(dt.Rows(I)("firstName")).Length TestLName = CStr(dt.Rows(I)("lastName")).Length If TestFName > 0 And TestLName > 0 Then...)

Then I am back to getting the message
'Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid'.
I do not know anything about recordset and when I did try to use it it displayed the message something like 'get and set are no longer allowed'.

The entire function is below:
Private Sub BtnCreateLetter_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnCreateLetter.Click
Dim SSN As String = TxtBxSSN.Text
Dim dt As New DataTable()
[Code] .....

Is it possible to include something in the SELECT from table? Such as:
"SELECT * FROM" & Students & "WHERE" * NOT DBNull
or
I do not know if it is possible to use variables in the SELECT from table code but if it is I thought perhaps could make a variable named FieldContents and pass it to a function that would do something like:
"SELECT * FROM" & Students & "WHERE" * FieldContents LIKE '[A-Z]'

Displaying Text Fields Linked To By Foreign Keys?

May 8, 2009

I have a three-tier Windows Forms DB application in VB.NET. I'm using VS 2005. I'd like to display records in a table in a DataGridView. I can already display the records as is by binding the DataSource to the business class that talks to the DB class:
Dim assetList as List(Of Asset)
assetList = DB_Asset.GetAssetListOrderByID_Asset
AssetDataGridView.DataSource = assetList

"Asset" is my business class, and "DB_Asset" is my DB class that queries the DB to return assetList. Now, Asset has members something like this:
Private m_ID_Asset As Integer
Private m_CategoryID As Integer
Private m_CustodianID As Integer
Private m_ManufacturerID As Integer
Private m_SignedOutToID As Integer
Private m_DefaultLocationID As Integer
Private m_CurrentLocationID As Integer
Private m_DateAcquired As Date
Private m_DateEntered As Date
Private m_EnteredByID As Integer

m _ ID _ Asset contains the primary key for the Asset table in the DB, and everything else of the form m_XXXXXXXXXID contains a foreign key to another table in the DB. So basically what I get now is rows with a whole lot of numbers. It's exactly what's in the Assets table:

ID_Asset CategoryID CustodianID ManufacturerID SignedOutToID
1 17 23 14 5

What I'd like to know is if there's an easy way to display the text fields that I've linked to with all of those foreign keys:

ID_Asset CategoryName CustodianName Manufacturer SignedOutTo
1 Soda - Diet John Coca-Cola Fred

Avoid Linked Table Manager Message While Opening The Access DB?

Jun 27, 2012

My Application ( Vb.Net) is to scan Access DB forms and find out the Activx control if present and it works fine. But my problem is.In some DBs we have tables with mapping path to specific locations (Table Property->Linked Table Manager) and when we relocate these DBs then we need to change the path manually otherwise it will show a message to re-link ( Access DB message) while opening the DB. And I am facing same problem while scanning through my Tool as well and my process stops, continue only by manual intervention.

Do I capture the massage event and send some user specific message to user in the Log file or Report and continue scanning further?

Asp.net - Avoid Error When No Results From Entity Query?

Mar 14, 2011

I have a simple Entity query:

Dim rhcexists = From p In dbContracts.Signatures _
Where p.StudentID = people_code_id _
And p.ContractType = "rhc" _
Order By p.ID Descending _
Select p

I then check whether one of the result values is more recent than six months ago using an if..then like so:

If rhcexists.First.SignatureDate > Date.Today.AddMonths(-6) Then End If

However, if there are no results returned this will return an error. Is there a way for me to tell it to act as if the date is older than six months if there is no value at all? e.g., could I in pseudo do something like:

If Exists(rhcexists.First.SignatureDate, Date.Today.AddMonths(-8)) > Date.Today.AddMonths(-6) Then End If

Display All Fields Of A Row From MS Access To A Listbox In .Net?

Mar 17, 2012

I'm trying to pull all records and fields from a MS Access table. My fields are: numOne, operator, numTwo and result. I'd like to display those fields in a listbox as the following output: 1(numOne) +-/*(operator) 2(numTwo) = 3(result) or simply 1 + 2 = 3. I was able to get some coding going. The problem that I have is that I'm not finding a way to add the fields on the same line, since I can find the right syntax to have all fields added together.

Dim ConnString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersLeo DaCostaDesktopAPUVB AdvancedDaCosta Weeks 5-6MathOp.accdb"
