Getting Unique Key Validation?
Jun 21, 2009
I'm a non developer user of VB. I'm using a simple form to input data to a database. have some text boxes bound to data and use a Binding navigator. I want to be able to handle or catch the error when a non unique ID is added. I have tried to include an error handler in several places but the exception is generated anyway. For example I select to add a new record the change the id to a duplicate value and navigate to the previous record and get the error. I want to check or validate the value before it generates the error to avoid the program crashing if someone includes a duplicate id.

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)

How do I parse through the grid to rename the duplicate values in a particular column (in this example it's the l_name field) into such a format?

I'm making a sign in/out program using mysql and visual basic and need a little help I have two tables event_in and event_out and under each table I have event_id, which automatically generates a number(starting from 1) for each row. I was wondering if it's possible to generate the numbers based on the users. So let's say User A comes and signin, 1 is generated into the event_id. Then User B comes and signs in. I want 1 generated for him too...so all User A's event_id will be 1,2,3... and each user's event_id for both the in and out table will also be the same.
With this I will be able to subtract each user's timestamp in event_out from that of event_in to get how long they were in. I believe that if I don't generate the numbers separately for each user, then let's say User A signs in (1 is generated for event_id in the event_in table) but does not sign out yet and then User B comes and signs in (he get 2 for the in) but then he signs out before User A does and he gets 1 for the out and user A gets 2 for the out. So now user and with my current query I will not be able to calculate the timestamp.

I have a database (using Sqlite) that has ID has a primary key with autoinc, that loads the values into a listbox control. If I loop through the database normally, adding the values of the database into my listbox, I can't get the ID by using SelectedIndex because the Index will not always be the same as the ID, and the ID will not always be the Index. :( This makes it painful when I want to query to delete the row, based on SelectedIndex.
I want to delete the row by ID, but I have no way of getting that ID with the loop I use Is there some hidden field type attribute I can use?

I code on the side for a little extra cash. Up to now it has always been one off conversion programs. The problem is that I am being asked to generate a report program and there is a dealer acting as the go-between for the end user. I want to maintain control of this program. I don't want this dealer to be able to distribute it to all his customers (or worse sell it), but have no idea of the best way to do it. Since I do this on the side, I obviously cannot afford to purchase a third party utility.When I try to search, all I get are links to people asking what to do when an installation fails. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or article on how to do this without resorting to buying a utility?

regarding a UNIQUE value that needs to change.Within my XML for each record i need a Unique Value to be entered. What i have so far is to use the Date and time to give me a unique value when i click my button. But because i click the button once, all records in the XML have the sme value entered. I need to be able to Add 1 to the Unique value each time to make them different? E.g I click the button now and the unique value is "CDS61510" then for each Unique value after i want to add 1 to it, "CDS61511", "CDS61512" etc
<ROOT>
<RECORD VALUE="CDS61510">
......
</RECORD>

Question: When you have a .NET GUID for inserting in a database, it's structure is like this:
60 bits of timestamp,
48 bits of computer identifier,
14 bits of uniquifier, and
6 bits are fixed,
128 bits total Now I have problem with a GUID, because it's a 128 bit number, and some of the DBs I'm using only support 64 bit numbers. Now I don't want to solve the dilemma by using an autoincrement bigint value, since I want to be able to do offline replication.

i've researched and written a generic class (all my objects are the same structure) and i'm was just working on the collection using a hash table but i've just read a comment within (url...) in this forum...that we shouldn't use hashtables at all with vs2008.i actually need and object collection that contains other object collections within them.the application i'm trying to write is relatively simple (but i'm new to vb.net)it keeps track of the time for weight lifting training/workouts.a workout consists of 'say' a bench press, military press, curls, dead lift, etc within the "bench" you have 1,2, or 3 sets (how many times you do "the bench", within a set you have 1,2,3 or 4 lifters, each lifter does reps.then it starts over with military press..i guess i could base it on a treeview type structure (with parent child type relationships) but i usually think in terms of collections it appears that a collectionbase has no key and i'd have to keep track of them on my own...

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]

In my app, I connect to a table to get the next unique id (t_IDs). The code basicly looks up a specific table name and returns the next value. This is fine in testing, but the application is going to be used between multipul sites. I can see an issue where this may cause the app to slow down while it waits the next id before saving all the data to another table.
My question is, Is there away to set a SQL trigger to go and get the next id value and update the record when a new record is created? BTW - I did look at the uniqueidentifier option (NewId()) but the Id is too long. I need 1,2,3,4 etc.

I like to add a gradient brush to each row of my datagridview. I like to change the gradient colors for each row independently depending of some cell values in the row.
I know how to add a solid background color to each, cell, row, column etc. but I do not know how to add a gradient brush to each row individualy.
I need to fill the datagridview with values, the datagridview is disconnected from any database or other data source. After filling the datagridview, I want to step trough each row, find my key values, decide the gradient colors and then add the gradient to the row.
I like to do something similar to what I now do with a background color:
For Each R As DataGridViewRow In DGV.Rows
Dim CS As New DataGridViewCellStyle
Select Case i

is there a way to filter out unique values in a dataview or an array? I currently filter a dataview as such: [code] So now I have a dataview filtering the table, but can I further filter this data to find the unique instances of an item in this table? I eventually have to pass a portion of this table to an array, so if there is a way to find unique values in an array, I can use that.
