i want to input into my combobox the field names from a dbase file. this is the code i have so far:
Dim table As DataTable
Dim restrictions() As String = {Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, "COLUMN"}
Using connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
[code]....
I tried the code below but unfortunately, all i get is a combobox with U,s,e,r,s, as each line in the items collection and not the filenames of the relevant files.
the DirGetPath("Users") Function below returns my default document and application paths and appends "Users" to the end as the relevant files are stored in that Folder.
All I get is a combo box with the items as U, s,e,r,s (i.e. Users spelled out).
I tried all of the following as alternative methods too:
System.IO.Path.GetExtension()
System.IO.Path.GetFileName()
System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension()

I'm new to VB.net and i wanted to find out how i could load the names of files(in a specified dir) into a combobox?
1. get the number of files in specified dir
2. add names of files as items in combobox (using a loop structure)
3. when an item is selected. display the contents in a textbox[code]...
I am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.
Private Sub BrowseButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BrowseButton.Click
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
End If

I need to open and read a Dbase file in my ASP.NET application. When I try to open the connection, I am getting the exception "Could not find installable ISAM." I have tried the solutions in the top answer in this question, but they did not work for me.The filepath of the data file is C:devDATA.DBF. Here is the code I am using to try to open the connection:
Dim connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DataSource=C:devDATA.DBF;Extended Properties=dBASE IV;"
Dim connection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(connectionString)

I'm trying to get the list of field names for a given table, to turn them into a string which I can to post back as a variable to another function.I've Googled loads of stuff regarding GetSchemaTable but all I seem to be able to output are field parameters, but not the actual value of these parameters (ie ColumnName, which is the one I actually want!)
Found this page; What is the SQL command to return the field names of a table?But all the queries on there give me an error "You do not have access to Table 'Columns'"I feel sure this is pretty simple, can someone give me a little function that will simply give me fieldNames = "fieldName1, fieldName2, etc"I am using a MySQL server and ODBC connections ASP.NET using VB.
I have got a class which contains more then 160 fields. i need the name of fields (not value) in an array. get loop through names for field or get list of field names in a array so that i can loop over it and use it in code. i am using visual studio 2010

View 6 RepliesIt is not so hard to get the field names from a database via GetOleDbSchemaTable and OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns. It works fine. The field names come i alphabetical order though. I really need them in the correct field no order.

I want to write a routine that loads a table (or query) and outputs it to a text file, with the field names in the first row.If I load the data via an adaptor class into a datatable, I can access the field names by something like DataTab.Columns(i).ColumnName.
As I only want to read the data from the table, using SqlDataReader would be more efficient. But how can I then find what the header or column names are? The following code fails with a message that the SqlDataReader class does not have a member called 'Columns ':
Dim sqlCmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(SQL, Connection)
Connection.Open()
Dim Reader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader()
Dim FName0 As String = Reader.Columns(0).ColumnName() '<==FAILS
Is there a way to find the column names of an SqlDataReader object?

View 8 Repliescreate a mailing list of my students with the usual lastname, firstname, address, city, state, etc. This all works fine - except that I'm getting multiple records for the same family when they have more than one children in our database. So, ideally, I would like to be able to group by the family name (which is grouped in a seperate Family table then linked to the student table by familyid), then in the second field list each child of that family separated by a comma.
View 1 RepliesI posted in the Database development forum, but no bites. I have field names in my Access table which have a number as the first character (i.e. "2x2"). Evidently, the DataAdapter doesn't like this. I'm able to view the data in a DataGridView, but I get an exception when I use DataAdapter.Update.
Can I modify my sql statement to make the command builder work or do I have rename the fields?
For example:
"SELECT [2x2] as twoBytwo..."
Changing the names of the fields would be a huge pain-in-the-arse!
I'm trying to produce a repeater showing amounts of money taken by various payment types into a table.Payment types available come from a global settings file as an array, I am creating a dataTable by looping this list and extracting sales reports (there might be a more efficient way than this loop, but this is not my concern at the minute).My question: How do I bind this to a repeater and display it when I dont necessarily know the table column namesI've tried various methods to give the table a header row and give the columns numerical names from a for > next loop, but am either getting no results, orystem.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name '7'. < or whatever numberThis is where I currently am:
EDIT: JUST REALISED MY CODE WAS AWFUL, SO UPDATED:
Dim paymentTable As New DataTable("paymentTable")
For j = 0 To UBound(paymentTypes)
