For my database I need to create unique numbers and insert them in the column "ID". Can I add them via a SQL query? The numbers would simply be 0001 to whatever.I'm using the "Show Table Data" gui.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to create an array of 5 random unique numbers between 1 and 30. I've been trying for a while and have had no luck.
View 9 RepliesThe program must generate 6 unique random numbers but when I click display numbers sometimes it gives me 6 unique numbers and sometimes I get duplicate numbers. I will add the code I have so far.

I am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)
View 2 RepliesHow would I go about doing this, is there a for next loop involved and is there a way not using the for next loop ?

View 7 RepliesI have a table with one column auto number key ID. I have an index on another column as unique value. Every time that I try to add a new value into the ddbb that already exist on the index column, I got an alert using on error procedure. This is fine, but since the error is got when the insert command is execute a new ID is created and next time a correct value is added, it means, not duplicated, the ID number jumps. For example.
auto ID=1 new record (OK) unique value
auto ID=2 new record (OK) unique value
auto ID=3 new record (got error) not unique value, no new record added
[Cdoe].....
The question is, there is anyway to check if the value exist before to do the insert() command? or anyway to avoid ID number lost.
The ddbb is open using gridview with sqldatasource.
I am using vb.net code and sql server 2005. I have textbox in my application which is linked to a sql column. Now I want to check that it should not insert any duplicate record in table. I mean everytime it insert in table the value should be unique. data is inserted in table on button click.
I am using objectdatasource for sql connectivity and FormView for dataentry.
I am using SQLite and what I am doing is passing a simple SQL statement to the database, however I want to also return the Unique ID that the insert statement has been entered to, however I am not sure how to do this within a single SQL statement.
My code is below:
Dim mySQL As String = "INSERT INTO DisplaySetFolderTbl (parentID, folderName) VALUES ('" & selNode.Tag & "','" & Trim(Me.txtName.Text) & "')"
Dim cmd As New SQLiteCommand(mySQL, MISData.Instance.dbDRV)
Try
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch
Exit Sub
End Try
MISData.Instance.dbDRV is the connection string
I have a sorted array of files saved in the following format of filenames:
XXX
XXX_XX
XXX_XX_XX
I want to insert a new file (with a unique filename) between two given filenames (which could be in any of the 3 formats above).
For eg., a new file between 401 and 403 could be inserted with name 402 and a new file between 401_01 and 401_02 could be inserted with name 401_01_01. etc
The idea is to conform to the sorted list. Is there a way I could generate filenames for the files to be inserted, given the two filenames between which it needs to be inserted?
For each loop through a DataSet, I need to store the values of 2 columns (we'll call them ColumnA and ColumnB) so that I can use them to search the same DataSet again later.The DataSet stores the results of a search and places the value of ColumnA into a ListBox as a new item.When the user clicks on this ListBox item, the application will loop through the DataSet again using the value of ColumnA and the value of ColumnB as criteria to identify the correct row in the DataSet to return.This would be a lot simpler if the value for ColumnA was unique every time, but a value will inevitably be repeated on occasion. That's where ColumnB comes in. This column's value is likely to be unique 90% of the time, and, given the nature of the information in the DataSet, if either column duplicates, the other won't.So I've thought of adding the values for ColumnA and ColumnB into a 2 dimensional dynamic array, but I'm doing something wrong apparently.[code]
View 3 Repliescurrently, what i want to do is, add a column in a table "default" during runtime. Well, I've got that covered already.
The problem is, the column names are actually taken from the users input through a textbox or drop down list and of course, if the same column is added already in the table, it generates an error since it has to be unique.
That is why i wonder if it is possible to know if a column already exists without viewing the form which contains the grid view of that table?
Is there a quick way to put unique value to column in a table? Assuming I want numeric values starting from 0.

Alright, I have this Access Database. It has 6 Columns: ID | Class Name | Class Code | Class Room | Grade | Teacher
My ID is the Unique Column that I need to reference back too when Updating my other Fields so I get the correct field.How do I do this? Properly.I've been thinking of a method but I doubt it would work.First I would start off selecting all the ID's and then LOOP through all of them, and then rewrite them to to + 1 Each time I make a Delete, so Each Time it will be a consistent 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 .... etc... Then I can reference from that to my Combo Box Selected Index + 1 to get the Correct Row which corresponds with the Selected Item.Will this work? Or will I still need a Unique Fields that I reference back too.
i need to get only unique value of a column of a datagridview es:

It seems that on clicking datagridview column header, the column will be automatically sorted based on the column type. I have a column showing some numbers. If column type is string, it sorts "1","20","3" into "1","20","3". If column type is double, it sorts into "1","3","20" which is the result that I want. However, there might be some erros in the numbers and error messages(text) will show in the cell instead of numbers. So I cannot set the column type as double. I want to ignore these error messages and sort all the numbers. How can I do this?
Also, I need to add some background colors to different rows in datagridview. So in the column header click event, I call the bkgColor Sub to achieve this. My question is that how can I override the sorting method in this event?

I have a program and I get time data from a sqldb and display it in a column in a listbox. What are the proper steps for adding the time as I iterate through the data in the column? I figure I will need to do some conversions on the time to be able to add it and display it as a total.

It will show datagrid view that I want and when i click OK to select any record, the selected record will show on the desire text box in the main form. The problem is the record i choose is record no. 5 of all 10 record but the Bindingnavigator tools bar show that it's the first record of all 10 and when I click Next record arrow, the error message show that the 'PK column name' is unique and the 'value of the PK from my selected record' is already exist.

View 1 RepliesI'm using vb2005. I'm writing a little application which allows a person to type in a new value in a combobox (which I've bound to a field in a table) which can be updated to the database. I then refresh the dataAdapter by clearing it and re-filling it again when the user saves a new item. That part works fine. My problem occurs when the user selects a stationary item from the combobox. The first select works fine until they try to select another item. Then I get the following error: ConstraintException was unhandled: Column 'TYPE' is constrained to be unique. Value 'False' is already present.

View 6 RepliesMy query returns 4 columns. One column is a unique identifier for the record. I'm trying to hide that column so the user doesn't see it. I'm going to add an edit button and hopefully I'll be able to allow the user to click on the record's edit button and edit only one of the remaining 3 columns and I expect I'll need that hidden value to do the update.

I'm trying to make a method that can get unique values from a specified column of a DataTable. The problem is that the column may be string, integer, etc. I'm not sure what type of variable the (Of T) is.

View 2 RepliesI'm using an Infragistics UltraWinGrid with a column of drop-down boxes. I don't want the user to be able to select the same value for multiple rows in that column. Is there a simple (or heck, I'd settle for advanced) way to do this? I'm using VB.NET
-EDIT-
I tried setting a filter on the data source for the drop-down box. But when I did that, the values in the other boxes in that column started disappearing (not the values themselves, but the descriptions that they were supposed to represent, so instead of reading "Information", it just said "1"). All of the cells in a column refer to the same combo box, so if you filter out a value from the data source for one of them, you filter it out for all of them. I'm currently trying to catch a CellChange event and check against all other currently-used values. If it was already used, I would put up a message saying as much and revert back to the old value. However, the value comes back as the previously-saved one, so... not helpful. About to see if I can use the "text" property.
How can I query a DataTable to find all of the unique values in a column? SQL has the 'unique' or 'distinct' keywords, but I dont know how to do this against a DataTable.
