Lookup Tables To Display Names Instead Of ID's In A DataGridView
Jul 17, 2009
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.

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 am attempting to read an XML and display certain portions of the XML in a datagridview. I was able to get one table at a time, but I am having trouble figuring out how to get ALL the info I want from the XML and not just one table at a time.
I was speaking to someone and they told me that my issue is that the dataset contains datatables and it's not just one big piece of information that I can use. I looked into merge code, but I haven't managed to get anything working the way I would like.[code...]

I have two tables: One wich contains the columns "first_name", "last_name" and "status_id". The other table contains "status_id" and "description".
Now, I want to display "first_name", "last_name" and "description" in one DataGridView. What is the best way to do this?
What I'm doing now, is that I'm manually adding a datacolumn to the first table. Then I'm looping through each row and filling the new column manually. Now, that doesn't seem very smart and efficient, but I haven't found any better solution.

what is the best way to load dropdown lists from reference/lookup tables for a desktop application? the application is layed out into 3 tiers. I've built up my entities.the front end has a form with 6 tabs. and one big save (another discussion :)Should I load them all when the form is initially loaded? Are there any caching mechanisms I could use?
it is vb.net app on a network drive that is accessed by several users.it's also worth noting that some reference tables may be updated. Via another form.

I have a datagridview control on a form that is filled programatically (dataadapter, dataset ) from a database table (access).
Some of the columns in this table are foreign keys to other tables. Is it possible to have these
columns as combo box columns so the values can be selected directly from the other tables?

i have a master detail form with databound datagridviews.my detail datagridview is bound to FKFieldSubFieldLookupTableBindingSource and it shows the linked sub-fields when the main field changes. This datagrid has only one column which is the sub-field names column. this column type is ComboBox.here are this combobox details
DataSource = subFieldLookupBindingSource
DisplayMember = sub_field_name
value Member = sub_field_id
No Problem until here.When i click on the Cell combobox I get the list of all the sub-fields. I don't want this. because once a sub-field has been associated with a Master field, it should not be available for other Master fields.What i did was, In the SubFieldLookup Dataset, i added a query to get all those sub-fields which haven't been associated yet.but this clears up the detail datagrid and shows blank comboboxes where it is supposed to have the sub-fields.
I simplly want the master-detail mechanism to work and when i want to add a new sub-field, and click the combobox in sub-fields datagrid, i want to have only those sub-fields which are marked False in database in the column 'alreadyAssociated'.

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:
myConnection = New SqlConnection("Server=RAVY-PCRAVY;Database=CIEDC;Trusted_Connection=True")
myConnection.Open()

I am using VB.NET in VS 2008 Professional. I wish to have my user select the server where the SQL Database resides. I can get a list of the SQL databases, but I am stuck on how to display the servers currently available to the user? I want to add the list of servers available into a list box and have them select the server.
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 don't usually use VB but now I must for an assignment. I would like to know if it's possible to change the display name for an object on a listbox. For instance, if I add to it a user defined class, there's a way to provide it's display name, instead of converting it to string and then add it.
This is what I have
Dim format As String = FormatOutput(object)
Lista.Items.Add(format)
I would like to have the same output, but instead add the object.
Note: if such is not possible, then how can I associate the list box selection to the actual object? Doing it by index is painfull, because I'm using linked lists (ie., instead of arrays).
Note 2: python has a __str__ method which is called by default when the object is cast to string. Is there anything like it in VB?
