I have modified many helpful sources to come up with the attached code. What I am trying to acomplish is I need to import a txt or csv file and export it to an mdb file and then eventually back again. Everything works fine with the attached code when ever the path of the txt/csv file is inserted into the code. However the problem I am having is that I do not always know where the enduser is going to place
the txt/csv file. When I run the app, I get the following error message, "Not a valid File Name".

I have a VB project that reads data from SQL as well as pulls data from other files into SQL. I need to import a text file into SQL table; there is no headers in the file and table in SQL is already exists. I found a code in Forum and slightly modified it, but I'm still missing something. I'm not sure how to specify that the text file is delimited with "|" character? Also - since there is no headers - not sure how to import it into correct columns? On the code below I'm getting "Insert" syntax error; on prior version of the code I was getting "field F1 doesn't exist".
I want to load an xls file to dataset, edit the data, and import them in mysql. My problem is that I can't load the file. It seems like it ignores the file completely.

I have a machine which creates a new log file at the beginning of the day(12am) and updates the log file whenever there is any changes until the end of the day. How do I import the data in real time (30 sec, 1min or whenever there is any changes) to my SQL server database? Will SQL Server 2008 be able to access the active log file? If not will it be easier if I let my machine create a new log file whenever there is any updates? But if it is so, how do I import so many log files with different names in real time. (I must be able to scale the solution up to multiple machines).
I'm creating a small application that will export the record from database to excel format (.xls) and import the record from excel as well. i have this code below i dont if this the right approach but im getting the error. Im using emulator btw. error :"The process can not access the file 'My Documents est1.xls' because it is being used by another process." Code: I'm still figuring out about import function any ideas?
I'm trying to import a tab delimited file into a table.The issue is, SOMETIMES, the file will include an awkward record that has two "null values" and causes my program to throw a "unexpected end of file".For example, each record will have 20 fields. But the last record will have only two fields (two null values), and hence, unexpected EOF.
Currently I'm using a StreamReader. I've tried counting the lines and telling bcp to stop reading before the "phantom nulls", but StreamReader gets an incorrect count of lines due to the "phantom nulls".I've tried the following code to get rid of all bogus code (code borrowed off the net). But it just replaces the fields with empty spaces (I'd like the result of no line left behind).
Public Sub RemoveBlankRowsFromCVSFile2(ByVal filepath As String) If filepath = DBNull.Value.ToString() Or filepath.Length = 0 Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("filepath") If (File.Exists(filepath) = False) Then Throw New FileNotFoundException("Could not find CSV file.", filepath)
[code]....
I've tried using SSIS, but it encounters the EOF unexpected error.
I am doing a Windows application. How do I import a CSV file into DB2 database table? Through google I got one command:
IMPORT FROM 'C:Documents and SettingsMy Documentssample.csv' OF DEL MODIFIED BY COLDEL | METHOD P (1, 2, 3) MESSAGES "C:messages.txt" INSERT INTO myTable(myTable_col1,myTable_col2,myTable_col3);
But this is also not working, so is there any other command or any kind of code in .NET?
I have a vb system and I wish to execute some code depending on the result of a text box. The text box could contain two strings, depending on the result I want to execute a set of rules to search for specific files e.g. if one option the code will search for certain files defined for example request.doc and if other option then it will search for other files, which are my rules for the searches. I want these rules to be external to the system and for them to be loaded in so that its easier for the user of the system to change these rules if needed so they dont have to go into the programming of the code. Is there a specific file I can use such as .xml or a just a basic .txt file and what would the syntax be for these?

I need to populate the "ManagerEmail" column of the GridView by looking up the corresponding details for the person using the "ManagerEmployeeNumber" from the datatable BUT.

Can someone assist with importing an xml document to sql. I'm working with a small file so I assume reading with DOM would be the most efficient method. I'm trying to figure out how to read certain tags and assign values to variables. Is there a way to grab a specific elements tag without reading all tags?[code...
I am having an issue with my code. When I debug, I find no errors. When I test the code, it doesn't import into the table. I have checked to make sure the file is in the proper location and that the connection string is correct to sql. Here is my code, can anyone offer some thoughts? My second question would be, once I get this to work, how do I code it to perform the same task but for 5 other files and 5 other tables? Tables are in the same db.
I receive large pre-formatted XML files. Each XML is formatted the same way - in that they all have the same Parent Nodes and Child Nodes. Each Parent node has at least one Attribute (sometimes 3 or 4) and some fields also have attributes. In my opinion, the formatting of these xmls files is poor and very hard to work with.The Parent Nodes are Databases Tables, the Child Nodes are Fields within the tables and the Attributes are Index Fields in the Tables.My job - is to import these xml files into one database (lets say MSAccess in this example). This database already has the Tables, fields etc...the goal is to import one or more xml files into these tables to create a Consolidation of data.I am successfully doing this now using XPath to navigate through the xml files basically record by record (field by field) and creating INSERT strings which then are used to import into the database tables via OLEDBCommands. Using...

I wrote a program for my company and it imports a .csv file i then split it by the ,. My problem that I now see at the end of the project is that 98 out of 1400 items have, in the descriptions that im seperating. This creates a problem when search for items. My question is is there a way to use more then just one char to split it? i was thinking of splitting using ",".
