I created a SQL database using the migration tool.I am converting my access forms to VB.net (VS2008).I am wondering if I create a single dataset in studio to the database or do I create a dataset for each form (query)? I am trying to determine what the best solution is. Many of my forms have drop downs that are populated using queries from tables.

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.

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?

Okay i have been looking around for some tutorials on databinding by code but all the ones i find use vb's built in function to create the connection to the database and then the binding but i need to do it manually. I am totally new to databinding as in i only learned about it from a previouse thread and have been fiddling since.
[Code]...
So im kind of going blind here, i dont know whats going wrong or if im even using the correct dim statment for the binding,

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

how i can create a connection to a database when i open my program and then close that connection when the program closes, so that the user has a permanent connection while the program is running that can be used for multiple things depending on what the user decides to do.

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?

I am trying to build a user control that will do exactly what the SQL 2005 Connect to Server interface do, eventually create a connection string and store in a app.config file. It should allow user to select server type, server name, authentication, user name and password. It should also automatically load available servers and domain login by default.

I am using VB 2008 Express and have created an application that connects to a SQL database to populate a datagrid.The application is working properly on my computer but will not on others 'remote connection permissions' error.After some googleing I found that the express version is crippled to only work on local machines that use a database.If I purchase Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition, import and rebuild my application, will my application be able to run properly on other PC's?

I have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.
