Create An Application That Needs To Have A Database?
Jan 13, 2009
I am trying to create an application that needs to have a database. I would like to know which one you recommend using. I have programmed in php using mysql but I do not think that is feasible for a windows application. I want something that does not have to install something else with my application.
What i am looking is how to create a layer between the application and database? I need to create an xml files where the application will fetches the data and updates the data into local cache. Later from the xml files the data has to be transferred to database. Here the application need to work even when the application is in offline and database is not been connected.
With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file
I'm Using Visual Studio 2005 and Mysql Database to create a windows application. The datagrid displays all the records. Since I don't know how to directly update from datagrid, thats why I have used textboxes for the respective datagrid fields. A load button is provided which on clicking puts the data on the respective textboxes. The data can be edited in the textbox. Problem is that I can't save this edited or modified data back into dattabase.
I want to create a very simple (to begin with) database driven application. The company I work for have very kindly said they will host any SQL database I create, they have a remote server that we all connect to for files etc.
So I want to be able to create an SQL database that they can host and have my colleagues and I install the application local on our machines.
I am trying to create an application that adds the contents of a till to a database. (Does this on two forms into two different sets of db columns) and can pull that back up at a later stage. At the moment, I'm stuck at the first section?

i've got a free mysql database online hosted by 000webhost, i'm just wondering if i could connect to the mysql database, and if so what would the connectionstring be like? when i connect using php its something like this: new mysqli("mysql13.000webhost.com", "user", "password", "database1"), how do i translate this into a vb connection string, i can't decide what to put as the data source [code]if there's no way to connect, is there anyway for me to create an application that can store and access database online?

We would like to create a client-server architecture application that the server can control all client computers connected to it (e.g shutdown) and we would like to put a security login and a desktop lockeron the clients. The process of the system is that when the clients starts, the desktop is locked and ofcourse the user can't access the desktop unless he/she logged-in. And when the scheduled time (e.g 1 hour) is done, the client computers where automatically shutdown like the Time Logger Softwares
i have a simple application which can create/update/delete/search records using Access database. If i add a record, save it, then close the application and run it again and search for that record, it appears. However, when i write some code to my application, nothing to do with the search function, and i run the application the record is not found. For example i added a button to clear the textfields, and when i ran the application the records i have added earlier were not found.

When I am developing an application and I use the 'Data Source' tab to create a database, will that database be automatically created when I use the software on another machine?
I understand this is possible but I am not sure where to start. I want to either buy or create an application that captures a resource from another application so that I can fire off another application. In other words, I want to start an application (which I did not write) that is database driven so the form has a number of text boxes. When someone keys something into that field I want to be able to validate the value, outside of the original application. For instance, if the program asks for a zipcode and it doesn't validate the zipcode, I'd like to trap for that and write something that would validate it. At this point I don't think I'd have to send anything back to the textbox/resource.
