how to display the data in an excel spreadsheet in a DataGridView?
View 4 RepliesI have a spreadsheet in excel with three headers:
Project Name The name of a project i'm working on.
Requested Role The job title/profession of the project employee. (example: mechanic, manager, engineer)
The name of the employee.When i click on the Person's name i want another page or tab (specific to this person) to appear showing details about them such as their name, job title, how long they worked, what project they are doing... etc. (similar to a Facebook profile)
When i click on the project name i want another page or tab (specific to this project) to appear showing details about it such as the requirements, the deadline, who is currently working on it... etc.
Furthermore, i would like to set up two levels of access:For the specific pages i was thinking of using the tab control but i want it so that i can search through the list of projects or names, select one, and then it brings up the page about it.The levels of access is the least of my worries.
I have the following in my little program:A form containing a button and a combo box where each item is a "year" ex. 2009,2010,2011...
When the user selects an item from the combo box, and clicks a button, an excel spreadsheet is displayed in a datagrid.
- Depending on the item selected, a different file is opened.
Now, my problem is as follows. Every time the user press the button, it takes like 50 seconds to open the file and display it in the datagrid.
- The file range is from A1 to J393 (a lot of cells)
The procedure reads every cell from A1 to J393 and puts it in a multidimensional array. Therefore, I would like to know if there is a way to speed up this process.Another thing, lets say I selected year=2009 and press the button.I wait 50 seconds approx.Displays the spreadsheet (corresponding to the year 2009) on the datagrid.
Then
I select year=2010 and press the button.
Wait another 50 seconds approx.
Displays the spreadsheet (corresponding to the year 2010) on the datagrid.
User posts text into textbox/grid etc Button is pushed. The text is formatted as if it were in a spreadsheet. ie Only x words per row Each cell is of equal length and width.To put it another way; The first letter of the second word of the first row. should be directly above the first letter of the second word of the second row.
View 2 RepliesI have a VB.Net program that reads in a flat file, and then parses line by line, formatting the data into different spreadsheets in an excel workbook (each line can be any 10+ different record types so I parse and put in appropriate excel sheet).
For smaller sized flat files (under 10mb), the parser works great. However, I am trying this on a file that is over 120mb (400k+ lines). While running, I will get an OleDBException saying that the spreadsheet is full. Now I am pretty confident that Excel can handle a much larger data set than a flat file. So I assume this exception is not giving me the true story as to what is really occuring.
I open a connection, and then parse each line in the file, inserting each row into the excel file. I assumed it would be bad performance wise to open/close the connection between each insert. Could this be causing the issue? Any ideas what I need to do to handle such a large file? There are cases where the flat file can be over 500mb.
To actually do the insert into excel, I am just doing the following (I construct an sql query based on the type of row and values parsed):
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExportLocation.Text + "" + importFileName + "-PVF.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""

I'm trying to export a datagridview to Excel and open the Excel spreadsheet (not SAVE the worksheet).
Public Sub ExcelRpt(ByVal DgvName As GridView, ByVal url As String)

I have read serveral tutorials online and seem to be missing something. I am trying to have the leading 0's show up in columns by setting the format to text.
''' <summary>
''' This is required for the grid view to export properly
''' </summary>[code]......
I have looked around for awhile and have not seen anything yet. I was hoping someone came up with something by now that can guide me in the right direction. I have an rtf string pulled from my database. I was trying to find a way to display this rtf string formatted in silverlights richtextbox. From what I have read silverlights richtext stores formatted text as xaml and not true rtf. Has anyone found a work around?
View 1 RepliesI need to:
1) Read a CSV file,
2) Put the data in a list object that I can sort,
3) and populate a few GridView controls on a form,
4) Write my sorted list to an excel file, which I've never done.
I'd like to create a formatted summary table that would look organized when opened in Excel. Who is best person/ or place to ask about that?
I'm exporting a datagridview to excel. The first column is a Date (not DateTime) which appears like '2/15/2011'. After exporting the datagridview to excel it appears in excel as '2/15/2011 0:00', furthermore the first 68 rows in excel appear as '6/14/1898 12:00:00 AM'. Where is the time coming from? The column type in the database is date. I've attempted to edit the cell style of the datagridview column to date. I've attempted to figure out how to pre-program the formatting in excel, but it's not working either.

if any of you have called up excel spreadsheet data within your VB.net app. Is it at all possible instead of calling up access and the like?
And just before some overzealous person puts "we will not do your work for you blah blah blah......" Im not asking you to write it for me, im just asking if its possible, has anyone succeeded in doing so?
Id rather not use VBA script if possible, Id like to create my own app and use a spreadsheet that has all my workings on already - sorry if its a bit noobie to ask such a daft question but one of my friends is going to be opening a restaurant soon and asked me if i could do a little prog for him using his excel stuff

View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a program that will display an excel spreadsheet in Visual Basic. My goal is for the program to display this Work Order Form I have designed in excel and to modify user, date and auto assign a work order number. After that is done I would like to print the excel form. So I guess my questions are:
- How can I display an excel spreadsheet in win forms
- How can I print the spread sheet after it is modified
- Is there a better way I should be doing this

Ive been trying to figure out how to find the next empty row in an excel spreadsheet.My project is a VB project, written in Visual Studio 2010 Express.What i need to do is open the spreadsheet (that is predefined) and find the next available row. (in column A through to S)My code so far for this little part of my prject is:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlworksheet As Excel.Worksheet
[code]....
The same as "Selection". I get a blue line for "ActiveCell" Doesn't work.
In my latest project, I'm iterating through an Excel Spreadsheet and importing the information from it into a DataSet row for row. Based on certain conditions (namely, the text in a certain column on the spreadsheet). For certain conditions, the app is to write the row into a new spreadsheet and email that spreadsheet as an attachment to a pre-defined email address.

I am taking a pre-existing excel spreadsheet and inserting a blank row at the top. This part works, the part I am having problem is the fact that based on the code I have, I have to open the spreadsheet so when you execute the code the spreadsheet opens. Then when done, close it. When I try to close it wants me to save the document, even if I call the save method. This whole process should happen behind the scenes so I really don't want the spreadsheet opening.
See code below.
moApp.Visible = True
oWB = moApp.Workbooks.Open("I: estcsv.xls")
oWB.Sheets("testcsv").Rows("1:1").Select()
moApp.Selection.insert(xl.XlDirection.xlDown)
oWB.Save()
oWB.Close()
'When call the close, it still asks me to save the spreadsheet even though I called oWB.Save above.

I'm creating an application in VB 2008 that will act as an interface for user's to add information to an excel spreadsheet. I am trying to determine the best way to do this, since I have never actually done it before. It seems like it should be simple, but as I am reading about it, I feel like it is a little more complicated than I had originally thought. I don't need to create the spreadsheet, I just need to add to it using this form as an interface.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a report and outputting the results to an excel file. Here is how it is suppose to work. I have a table called EMPID that has a list of employee id's. I loop through this table and for each EMPID, I run several queries. I would like to append the data that is returned to the spreadsheet so that the results for all EMPID's would be added to the spreadsheet. Right now, the way I have coded it, for each EMPID it overwrites the fields in the spreadsheet instead of adding/appending them to it.
Here is some code:
If EmpidDS.Tables("EMPID_Table").Rows.Count <> 0 Then
For Each dr As System.Data.DataRow In EmpidDS.Tables("EMPID_Table").Rows
'Set the variable EMPID to the current row EMPID
EMPID = dr.Item("EMPID")
'Check that table is not empty

i have an Excel spreadsheet which I have exported to a Gridview. In my code the table name has to be declared i.e its the name of the worksheet. How can i export excel and select which table i want without hardcoding the table name. i have many worksheets and want to the user to select which table he wants from one workbook.
I am using vb and have a web form.
Is it possible to deliver an Excel Spreadsheet via an Web Service. I believe not as ASP.NET web services seem only to deal in Serializable elements which the excel binary format isn't (I think). If the Excel is saved in XML format will this work?
I have a number of reports that will be emailed, but the request has been put into allow these reports to be pulled via Web Services.
I am building a website to capture data. I have many spreadsheets that are used for data entry or capture. Now I want to mimic these complex spreadsheets on the web forms but I am unsure of the correct control to use.
Data entry must be allowed and live calculations also need to be made similar to formulas on normal excel spreadsheets. Later on the data must be captured into an SQL table.
What would be the best control to use or method to mimic that functionality, albeit that the spreadsheet component is no longer available in visual studio 2010. Is it a data grid?
What is the best way to export a gridview into an Excel spreadsheet? This seems easy except that my Gridview doesn't have an export attribute.

View 1 RepliesI'm using vb.net to create a large excel spreadsheet, im collecting the data from a mysql database, i have retrieved all the data and have all my data in excel.
The idea of the spreadsheet is that it is never seen so excel_app.visible is set to false.
i can get the excel spreadsheet to print and close using:
excel_app.activeworkbook.printout() excel_app.ActiveWorkbook.Close(False)
the problem I have is that i need to print the document in landscape.
