View 3 RepliesIn VS 2008, VB.Net, I am successful connecting to a local SQL Server (version 8) and seeing all tables/views/procedures in Server Explorer. The local OS is Win XP Pro SP3. I created an ODBC data source to a remote SQL server (also version 8) with a database of the same structure as the local one. The connection tests out ok. The remote computer runs Windows Server 2000 SP4. In the VS 2008 Server Explorer I add this ODBC source. When I click on the plus-signs to expand items, neither the tables nor the views show anything, whereas the full list of procedures appears. Is it the old SQL Server version? Is it the old Server OS version? Something else alltogether?

View 1 RepliesI am using VB.NET in VS 2008 Professional. I wish to have my user select the server where the SQL Database resides.

The thing I am trying to duplicate is the drop down list of server names when you are doing an Add Connection from the Data Connections node of the Server Explorer.

I am populating a combobox with a list of names that are coming from a database. I would like to get the names to show up in the combo box in alphabetical order. [code] There is also another combobox I'm populating with text from a database. (as below). However, in the database, in the column I'm reading data from, there are a few duplicate rows and then when the combobox is populated, the same text can be seen 2/3 times. What can I do or add to my existing code, that will ensure that there is no duplication shown in the combo box? [code]
View 3 Replies[Code] my issue is that now i need two cases, first i need a query that will return the date created and modified of the table and i also need to know if its possible to query a list of table names in the database ordered by date created but that have a certain thing in their names. for example the database contains the following tables: [Code] and what i need the query to return is the tables that contain "Data", settings and employees are for the other functions of the program. so the query should return the 4 data tables in order of date created. but i have no idea how to go about doing that in the query, does anyone know how this is done?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a button on a form that will open a connection to a database and list all the tables in the database inside a listbox. Everything I have read indicates I can associate a single table to a form, and have no idea how to:
a. Create code for the button to access all the tables in the database.
b. Display that list in a list box.

I need to load a list of tables and linked tables in an MS Access Database into a combo box. I have this.
vb.net Imports System.Data.OleDb
[Code]...
1. How do I load the access tables and the link tables into my combo without the system tables showing up?
SQL statements:
SQL = "SHOW TABLES;"
Try
conn.Open()
The remarked area works fine when I'm accessing a specific table. I've successfully inserted the products_model field into the combobox too. The datagridview does show the table names in the db using the SHOW TABLES sql statment, but I'm not understanding how to get this info into the combobox instead.
I have mysql database with one table , and I want to show the columns' names re;taed to the table in combobox in vb 2005
this is my mysql command :
SQL1 = " select column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name='others'; "
this is my code after execute the command and store the data set in variable ( DS ) which its type is "DataSet " :
If DS.Tables(0).Columns.Count > 0 Then
For j As Integer = 0 To DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
list1.Items.Add(DS.Tables(0).Rows(0).ToString)
Next (j)
End If
I've been trying to use lookup tables to display names instead of ID's in a DataGridView using a DataGridComboBoxColumn and have even copied the example shown in the Forms over Data videos produced by Microsoft but still get the following error message:System. =Argument Exception:DataGridView ComboBoxCell value is not valid..Everything was done in the designer and the problem only occurs with the DataGridView; lookups work fine using a combo box when displaying single records.Also the error message only pops up when I close the form. Prior to that all the names are displayed correctly for each record, the drop down list shows the names correctly and I can edit, add and delete rows and save all my edits with no problems. Its just when I close the form that the problem occurs.Each time I press OK in the message box the names in the combo boxes are removed, one by one.
View 5 RepliesI am using VS2008 and SQLite. I have created a database and several tables and am attempting to populate the tables with data from arrays.
The following code (example) works fine but stops after it inserts 30 to 50 records. I am running the VB code in debug mode and when it stops, I press pause to see where it is. It stops on "SQLcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()" and when I press continue (F5) it will insert another 30 to 50 records.
I do not get an error message. Is this a timeout issue? How do I keep the loop running to the end of the array?
Following is example code.
Dim
SQLconnect As New SQLite.SQLiteConnection()
Dim SQLcommand As SQLiteCommand

I am used to C like languages such as C#. I added a list box with a list of names. In the code behind I added the below code. When I run the code I am getting the MessageBox but it will state "UserName favorite color is " but does not show the color. I thought it might be misspelled or non-matching names but this is not the issue due to the names being correct.

For my app users can enter a SELECT statement themselves. This can be any select statement at all, it will be mainly used for creating a quick view e.g. SELECT * from table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 on table1.id = table2.id.
Whatever this select statement maybe I load it into a datatable (after checking for no nasty stuff of course) in vb.net. I want to know the table names so I can query the database again for validation purposes on things like datatypes etc.
da.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand(sqlStatement, tempDB.Connection)
da.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey
dt = New DataTable
da.Fill(dt)

I just posted a previous question about updating the connection string. It works fine, but it makes my select command fail. The SqlException was handled that Invalid column name 'Username', 'Password', 'UserType' which they are already in my User table from my database.Below is my select command:

I'm trying to create a VBasic executable to read a SQL server database and produce a mailing list.I have the SQL routine working fine and had set it up as a stored procedure, but I've just discovered the manager I've written this for is an Access-type and does not have SQL Server installed on her machine. So, I figured I'd make a front end in VBasic.

con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=mySQLServer;User ID=Username;Password=myPass;"

This is what I'm sure will be the first of many noob-ish questions from yours truly... I'm studying as a mature student for a Computing Degree (encompassing web design, hardware, programming and systems analysis). The programming seems to be my weak spot this year. I enjoyed C++ last year, doing basic console applications, but progamming visually with VB in Visual Studio 2008 I'm struggling!

View 2 Replieshow to list names from a file, as you enter (spell) the name. eg if you enter 'b' all 'b' names will appear. If you next enter 'e' then all 'be' names will appear. repeating this until the last letters are entered. eg 'bell' will show all names starting with 'bell'. You can then select from the list the correct name?
View 2 RepliesSo in my Textbox I have a list of (folder) names, such as:
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3
I want to compare THAT list to another folder somewhere in someones documents (no specific folder). So let's say we compare it to the 'Arts' folder, which contain these folders inside:
Folder1
Folder2
I want to put all of those folder names in the Art folder into a list. And then I want to compare the folder names in my Textbox to the folder names in the Arts folder, and Folder3 is missing in the Art folder, so I want the textbox to contain:
Folder3
...to tell you that you are missing Folder 3 in your Art folder.

View 7 RepliesI am trying to find out if an instance of an application (not vb.net) is already running - because I will want to start it but I don't want to start it if it is already running. I have found a solution to check if a process is running:
Dim proc As Integer = Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcessName).GetUpperBound(0) + 1
and return True if >=1 (or just the process number). My problem is, this is a third-party application, and its process name is not just a name but it contains a version number (which I may not know at run time), and it also seems to add a *32 (so probably a *64 if it is installed in x64 ?).
I need to get a list of running processes, by name, and test if "processname" is a substring of the name.
But I haven't been successful in getting a list of names, only process id's.
I have a table in a Access Database that I'm loading into a VB.NET program and I want a way to get the name of each of the columns into a list of Strings. Googling has shown that this is much easier with a SQL database, but that doing so in Access is much more difficult. I came across this question Is there a query that will return all of the column names in a Microsoft Access table? Which gives a way to do it, but when I try the code it just populates my list with a bunch of "System.Collections.Generic.List'1[System.String]"
This is my adapted code.
Public Function GetColumns(ByRef database As String, ByRef table_name As String, ByRef columns As List(Of String)) As Integer
Dim com As OleDbConnection

com = New OleDbConnection(database)
com.Open()
