Database - Binding To Parent Rows In WPF?
Aug 1, 2011
I'm fairly new to VB.net and WPF (and programming in general), so please bear with me. I'm attempting to write a useful database app for my business as a learning project. I did a draft in WinForms, referring to the (very good) Murach book, but am now trying to re-write it with a WPF UI and cleaner code.
I think I understand the basics of WPF binding, but am tearing my hair out trying to find a simple way of binding to parent details - which I would have thought was a very basic scenario, but I can't find anything on it. For example, let's say I havea 'Customers' table with CustomerID, Name, various contact details and then foreign keys CityID and GroupID;
[Code]...
And then just moving to the first record (as there will only be one). Is this a normal method of looking up a customer? I could also use this method by getting the foreign keys from my customer row and filling the different tables in the dataset all using parameterised queries, then just binding to each table separately - but again, seems very messy.

I am looking for a howto or someone expert in ADO.NET who can explain me how to properly solve the following scenario:I have two datatables in a dataset:
ParentTable (ParentID, Name) for user data ChildTable (ParentID, ActivityID, ...) for schedule data
Tables are linked together at the database level by ParentID which is an Identity column in ParentTable.
Both tables are data bound to a separate DataGridView on the GUI. There supposed to be a "1 parent/N children" relationship between the tables, meaning if I create a new entry in the ParentTable (a new user) I get a clean DataGrid in the child grid to type schedule data for the user. So I setup two DataAdapters for each table to fill their result into a DataSet. I also set up a DataRelation object and assign it to the DataSet to link the two tables by their ParentID columns. Also when I add a row into the ChildTable via DataGrid I use SetParentRow to set the parent row.

I am working on Treeview control and Gridview Control VB.NET08. In the Treeview i have Parent and Child Nodes. Like: [Code] Comparing the Parent Node text and first two digits in the Column values. I want to add rows inbetween the gridview rows based on the parent and Child Nodes. If i expand the First Parent Node Called "31" then according to the Number of Child Nodes (for first parent node(31) there are 5 child nodes.) add rows in the gridview.
These New rows should be add under the 31-xxxx. If i expand the 32 Parent Node based on number of Child Nodes, add rows under the 32-xxxx. [Code] I am getting the rows in the end of the Gridrow not in the Specific row.

I am very new to vb. I have to create a registration form based on the a complainant form and offender form. Complainant form fills out, take the complainant_ID and parse it to registration form to load. Now when the registration form loads, it has registration_Id and complainant_ID, fills out necessary info and add an offender from the offender form and pass back the offender_ID to the registration form..now on this registration form, we have registration_ID, complainant_ID, and offender_ID..complainant and offender can have more than one registration..
Table structures:
Complainant table(complaint_ID, last, first)
Offender table(offender_ID, last, first)
Registration table(registration_ID, complainant_ID, offender_ID, type, desc)
What I have done so far:
Using separate dataset for each form. Complainant/Offender/Registration form load and save fine. But I do not know how to bind these Ids together so they stay in sync.. What I mean, when I add new complainant, take the complainant_Id, parse it to registration to create a new registration for that particular complainant, and also add an offender to that newly created registration, and pass offender_ID back to registration form. I am using visual studio 5 and sql express..

First, a little background (greatly simplified): I have two classes, one called Entity and one called Item which a subclass of Entity. They each store their individual properties in seperate SQL 2008 tables using TableAdapters generated by a strongly typed DataSet. The Entity class has a Save() method that looks like this:
Public Sub Save()
entityTableAdapter.Update(entityRow)
End Sub
[Code]....
Indeed, the SQL table does not contain a row in the Entity table with the necessary ID at this point because the transaction is not complete.
My goal is to prevent the Entity record from being inserted if inserting the Item record fails. I could write code to delete the Entity record again, but this does not seem very elegant to me...

i have a Janus grid, which has two columns and the rows are organized in a hierarchical order i.e. parent and child rows. One of the columns in the grid is grouped (by dragging the column in the group by box above the grid). I have a cell-changed event that is fired when a cell content is changed. I do this in the cell-changed event:[code]If i change the value, in a parent row, of the grouped column then the child rows are set to Nothing. After the last line in the above snippet, child rows of row are set to Nothing. On the other hand, this problem does not occur if i change the value of the other column (which is not in the group by box). The problem occurs only if i group a column and change its value not otherwise.

I have a client who needs a database to display products.He would like to have the product attributes in the rows headers and new records added to the columns. I have a collection of a class that would contain the products and am binding it as a data source. however all I can get is the attributes to show up in the columns and the records to show up in the rows.

I'm using vb.net 2008. And I am using ADO Update to Insert new data. So I have a Dataset with two tables - one a Parent and one a Child. When adding new Parent plus some child data on the client side, and then Inserting it into the DB (using TableAdapter.Update), how does the child get the new Parent ID?

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.

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 am using System.Data.SQLite with VB 2010 to bind to a SQLite database. Everything works just as it did in VB2005. I drug a table from the DataSources Window onto the form and automatically generated the binding navigator, table adapters, etc. I can preview data in the TableAdapter but when I run the app no data is read into the grid. The same thing happens with the details view. The BindingNavigator shows 0 of 0 records. There are 27 records visible when I preview the data. The code follows:

I've read jmcilhinney's code bank submission on retrieving and saving database data and have been using this a lot.
What i would like to know now is how/if i should be using the built in VS method of databinding with bindingsource, bindingnavigator and dataset controls etc for anything?
What can i do better with this method and what are the limitations?
Also, i'm using a function that reads an ini file to set the path in the connection string, can i still do this using the data binding method?
I've read a fair bit on using databases with VB but the above is still a bit confusing to me.

I have a microsoft database file i'm currently working with in a project. I have already added the data source and all seems to be going well. Quick question though? What I'm looking to do was, have a button called find, when I click it I want it to bring up an input box and use the text the user types in to search through my binding source of names, if it's there I need to display its record to the textbox and if it's not there I need to print out a messagebox saying its not there. I've been told I should trim the usersResponse and look through the binding source table to see if it exists then go from there, but i'm not sure how to do that.
Here's what I have so far:
Dim Message As String = "Enter the name to find."
Const Title As String = "Database Project - Find"
Const UserEnteredNullData As String = "No input for find."
[CODE]...
My question is, how would I go about searching through my binding source to see if it exists and how would I display it to the name text box?

This is a challenging one that got me stumped while I was coding today. Suppose I am running the Sub Test1() and Test2() and would like to print out the value of the Shadows method of the instance of the object I am passing in to TestCall() (see below - it is clearer) using the following restrictions:
Can't change the contents of Class A, B, and C
Can't change Sub Test1() and Sub Test2()
TestCall() can't have an if, select case etc. statement that tries to figure out the type

I have a main form, and some sub forms, and each sub form can have some sub forms. When I have multiple sub forms open, and I try to get data from the parent form, it returns the data from the wrong parent form.For example I have two instances of Mainform.subform running. If I do something like this in a child form of one instance of the subform. It returns data from the other subform.
dim l = Mainform.subform.listofdata
Edit:I am using visual Studio 2008. Winforms, form designed using designer. In my mainform I am doing this
Protected Friend frmMain as Mainform
frmmain = new mainform
In frmMain I am doing this
Protected Friend frmsub as new Subform'
frmsub = new subform

I am using two autocomplete textboxes and both of them are binding data from the same table. What I want is when I select an item from the autocomplete drop down list of textbox1 not to have the textbox2 value set. Example :
Column1 Column2
Row1 value1 value2
Row2 value3 value3
When I select value1 for textbox1 I get automatically value2 in textbox2. I do not want that.I want when I select value1 for textbox1 , textbox2 to remain empty until I select a value for it (it maybe value3)
