Establish A Connection To MySQL Via VB & Display Simple Query Results On A Form?
Dec 12, 2010
I have a project in Visual Studio 2008 and there is a working data connection to a MySQL database. In other words, I can query the db directly from Visual Studio and it will display the results.
I've tried a couple of approaches that I found online for writing a connection string and accessing the db, but no luck yet.
All I'm trying to do is code a button to query the db and then reset the text property of a label/textbox to display the results based upon another label/textbox value.
The pseudo-code I am imagining is something like this:
Private Sub query_submit_button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles query_submit_button.Click
result_textbox.Text = SELECT field FROM table WHERE otherfield = key_textbox.Text
End Sub
I didn't see any related questions posted on SO - forgive me if I missed one that already exists and this is a dupe.
I am finding it exceptionally difficult to pass an sql query result (string) into a variable.No matter what I try, I can't seem to get anything but boolean output from my reader function.I need to obtain staff "account type" from my staff table and then define that account type in a variable.
I seem to be having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to add the results from a mySQL query to an array in vb.net. Right now, I only understand that you have to define the dimension of the array, however this is shy of impossible since the dimension of the array will change due to different results from the query. What is the proper way to take my results and put them in an array?
I'm developing a device app in VB.net that will access a SQL Server database. I need to establish a connection when the app is launched, and keep the connection open until the app is closed. I've done the following:In the Master Module:
Public CNN As SqlConnection
In the Main menu form load:
CNN = New SqlConnection(sqlConnString) CNN.Open()
Then when I want to read from the database:
Dim sqlDR As SqlDataReader SQL = "SELECT Name FROM Table"
[code]....
When I run the same code without the global CNN, but rather dim the connection inside the Select function, all works well.
This will happen at random, and I can always just catch the error and re-establish connection to the server, but I am confused as to why. When doing lots of inserting into the sql server, I only establish one connection that is public, instead of many little connections. I had my doubts on a public sql connection, but it's been running great, and I've seen no problems until this morning. Again, this random moment I hit an error that stated, sql connection state is broken. Is it bad practice to just accept this error, and when it happens, re-establish the connection?
ill get the obviuose out of the way. I have XP Pro, VB2010, query(read only) to an ODBC db, displaying several results in a text box. How can I make the data display w/o the the numbers displaing decimal places. These are quantities that are to be displayed not pricing, ie. the result would say 7.0000 qty on hand, and it should say 7 on hand. The code is below,
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2000 for my vb.net desktop application..I'm having a SQL Server exception saying that "connection can't be established to the server.hen connecting to SQL Server 2005 this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. Also showing
I just can't seem to establish a connection between my two P2P applications over the internet(LAN works perfectly fine).
I have tried the following. - Disabling Firewall - Changing Port
The only way I can establish a connection is if I'm connecting to the same computer using the universal IP or the local. Does anyone have a fix for this? Oh and here is the error that I receive when trying to connect over the internet:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 255.255.255.255:8787 at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port) at P2P_Client.Form1.Msgtxt_KeyDown(Object sender, KeyEventArgs e) in C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\VB Projects\P2P-Client\P2P-Client\Form1.vb:line 32

I have being trying without success to create a program that can establish a SSH connection with [URL] on a changeable post with a set username and password. The program when done will configure IE proxy settings and establish a SSH connection to [URL] to allow the user to browse the internet without restrictions.
I'm designing a web service in ASP.NET and VS2008, and am using typed datasets for retrieving table data. These work well and establish their own connections through their associated TableAdapter objects. Edit: I'm using VB, BTW!I am now attempting to run a custom SQL string using a DataAdapter and a Command object, however I need to reference a Connection object in order for the Command to work. What is the best way to handle this?hould I:a) Create a global connection object using Global.asax, retrieving the connection string from web.config? (I've been trying that one already, with not much success)b) Create a class-level connection object using the InitialiseComponent method, also retrieving the ConnectionString from web.config?c) Retrieve a Connection from one of the TableAdapters that I've already created in my typed DataSets?d) Something else I haven't thought of yet?
I want to start a new project on PC and Mobile Phone. But i'm still have so many question about the communication between PC and Mobile.
My project List: 1) My idea is establish a connection between PC and Mobile through IP address in first, but my question is 'How to do it' ? izit same like PC to PC by using Winsock open a port to access? i'm using VB.Net 2005 for PC and Net60 for mobile.
2)My mobile phone Nokia 6220 Symbian OS is support GPRS/3G. Since the GPRS/3G can connect to the internet, izit means mobile itself have a IP address and service provider in order to surf the web? So, can i connect my mobile phone to PC through this gateway?
Need to create a form and connect the form the database on the click of a button. I have created the forms and data tables (Attached).Also want to know how can i open a form on double clicking an entry in the list box.
the right direction on methods used to extract data to a form (fill out the fields)? I have use a form within my access database itself, however I do not want the users going into the database anymore to print. I have looked into using word, but it seems more complicated than it should be.
I am confused; I am using VB2010, IBM.iSeries.DB2 on an as400 V5R4. I am trying to establish an OLEDB connection, and return the values from the selected table to a DataGridView. I had one of the admin's make me file named GARBAGE, in the Rprtaccess catalog. In the past, I have been able to connect via access and an ODBC connection. My project is too big for access, and the SQL middleware we have is clunky and not user friendly. This is a program that will generate the SQL statements, specifically the WHERE: clause and populate the datagrid with the selected criteria. In essence I am making a user friendly striped down program, that has variables that are manipulated by the end user, and the rest, referenced tables and libraries are coded.
Imports System.Data.OleDb Imports System.Exception Public Class Form11
I am having and issue with showing my database in another form. It works fine if I have it display in the current form but this is not what I want. I want to connect to the database and then have it show my query in a second form. If you don't get me here's my code.
CODE:
And then the code in form 2 is
CODE:
It comes to the error when it gets to "ContactsAdapter.Fill(ContactsData)".
I'm using visual studio 2010 and sql server 2005 to store my data. I'm creating a system that will allow me to find/search for records that are stored within the database. Thing is, i have 2 separate forms for this - one is the find/search page which allows you to enter in as many fields as you want (the more you enter, the more efficient the search is) and the second one is the find/search results page which will show the results from the search.
I'm not using a datagrid as i've already created these forms myself. I'm on a tight schedule because i've spent so much time already trying to get this to work. Do i need to create another dataset and tableadapter and bind the text boxes? how will i code the find/search button so the search will be carried out and the results will appear in the other form?
How do I get my form to display a simple digital counter? I have a "record" function on my program:
Private Sub Button13_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button13.Click mciSendString("open new Type waveaudio Alias recsound", "", 0, 0) mciSendString("record recsound", "", 0, 0) End Sub
I want to have a simple digital counter display while the program is recording. That way the user can know how long the audio is so far while recording. Then when the user is done recording, the timer will stop.
how to take a query that returns a single row of data and load that data into textbox controls.I know about ExecuteScalar but it is only good for a single column of data from the query.
I am facing a problem displaying the result of my "select *" query on the form . Here is my code:
[code]...
But when I write this code and run my form I am not able to see any records present in my database tables being displayed on my form. I have inserted a DataGridView on my form . What changes should I do to my code ?
I have a query from within my vb.net code which searchs for a record by date. The date being entered via the code is in format dd/mm/yyyy, i need to search in the database using yyyy/mm/dd? Ideally i thought there may just be a function within MySQL which will convert this. If not in vb.net to convert the string 01/01/2011 to 2011/01/01?
I have an application that encrypts data which is written in VB. There is another application that uses the same data. Encryption code is the same but it returns different result in some cases. [Code]
