Create A Connection To A Database?

Aug 5, 2009

I wrote a small application in witch I create a connection to a database. I'm new to this, so I followed the steps in MSDN help. I first created a link to the database with the "Datasource" of the Visual Studio environement. Then, in the code, I create instances of the dataset in the datasource and use a tableAdapter to register my changes in the database.

Now I want to allow the user of the application to specify the path of the DB file he wants to use. How can I do so? Do I still can use the datasource in the VS environment? I don't know where to start.

Create Connection To Database?

Apr 16, 2011

im sure that there are plenty of people here that have the same problem as me, but i cant seem to find a forum that explains this to me. well basically i have a program i am creating to use as a phone list, but to save data to a database on a mapped hard drive. I want to give the user the option to set the path of the database just by typing it into a textbox. The database will be supplied with the program, with all appropriate tables, i just really would like to know how to set up a connection to a database using code, and to be able to display it into a datagrid veiw. I know this seems simple to you guys,and i am really sorry, i am just new at this.

and also if u could, could u describe to me how to make it search through the database for like certain names/numbers?

Create A Data Connection To A Database In SQL Server?

Sep 28, 2011

I have Visual Basic 2010 Express and SQL Server 2008 R2 (not Express) installed on my Windows 7 machine. In Visual Studio, I am attempting to create a Data Connection to a database in SQL server. Server Mgmt Studio is not running. When I attempt to add a connection in Database Explorer, to the AdventureWorks _Data database, I get the message "This file is in use. Enter an new name or close the file that's open in another program." There are no programs running except VB, except maybe for the SQL Server engine running the background.Please note that I can open and access tables within a database in code
within Visual Studio, I just can't add a connection in Database Explorer.Am I doing something wrong? I've been very frustrated on this issue for a long time

Re-create The Database Connection Wizard Like One Used In Visual Studio?

Jun 27, 2011

I basically want to make this in my application, so our technicians have an easier time installing our software. So far, I made a form with 4 text boxes: Server name, user name, password, and a combo-box to select a database.Everything was pretty easy until the database selection code. Microsoft's wizard is very efficient, there's no wait time when the database combo box is being filled.[code]That code gets the databases just fine, but obviously if an exception happens the whole screen locks up and it might take a while to recover depending on what the database error is. My question is, can I make mine just as cool/efficient as Microsoft's?

IDE :: Difference Between "Add Connection..." And "Create New SQL Database..." In Server Explorer?

Sep 14, 2010

I am using VS2010 and have been watching and learning from Beth Massi's great videos. I have built some test apps using her example of (under Server Explorer) - right clicking on "Data Connections" and selecting "Create New SQL Server Database, and in the server name just like she does, I type ".SQLEXPRESS", fill in the "New Database Name" and fill in my fields, build my tables, build a simple little windows form app. add new data source, etc. and everything works great. Then I try the "Add Connection" option again under Server Explorer and use the default (for me) of "Microsoft SQL Server Database file(Sql Client)", fill in a database file name (it creates a new one for me), "Test Connection" works, build my tables etc, and then build a simple little windows form app. add new data source and everything is great once again. Except I am not sure what is actually happening between these two options. Under the "Create New SQL Server Database option I see (in Server Explorer) a "myapp.dbo". Where is the actual database file? Under the "Add Connection" I see a "myapp.mdf" file in the Server Explorer. Also what happens when I "Publish" (deploy) my app? When I look under application files under Publish, I see the .mdf file listed as "Required" under the "Add Connection" option, but with the "Create New SQL Server Database" I don't see any database files listed? What is the difference between these two ways of creating a database for a VB Windows Forms Application?

Sql - Copying A Table From One Database Into A Database On A Different Connection (ADO.NET)

Jun 17, 2011

I am trying to copy a table in a database into another database on another connection in VB.NET, using OleDb. If they were on the same connection I would just use SELECT INTO, but they are not. I have two different OleDbConnection and cannot see an easy way to do this.

Right now I am attempting to just copy the database into a DataTable using an OleDbDataAdapter, and then loop through the DataTable and insert every record into the target database one at a time. This obviously takes a ton of time for the large DB I could potentially be dealing with, and I have to deal with escaping strings, null values, etc.

edit - just to make this more clear: I have two OleDbConnection objects, one is linked directly to a local .mdb file on my computer (JET). The other is linked to a database on our servers (SQLOLEDB). I am wanting to do this:

"SELECT * FROM fromDB INTO toDB"

But I can't because fromDB and toDB are on different connections, and the OleDbCommand object is only attached to one. The only way I can see how to do this is to connect to fromDB, copy it into a DataTable, connect to toDB, and copy all of the data in the DataTable row by row into toDB. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this.

How To Create A Connection Between A Control And A Property In A Class

Sep 20, 2010

Is there a (simple) way to connect a textbox, label etc. to a property in a class?I have a project with a complex series of dialogs to enter data into a list of a costum class describing an experiment with many parameters that are stored as properties (both simple variables such as strings and integers, but also more complex ones).I need both to be able to update the list of my experiment class, but also to go the other way to populate the dialogs from the class.It can of course be done outside the class and the dialogs in separate subroutines. This however, quicly becomes unmanagable and hard to maintain as the dialogs and experiment class is expanded with new elements.If there was a simple way to connect say a textbox or label in a dialog with the appropriate property holding the information it would make it much easier.
