Populate A ComboBox From Data Located In A Dataset?
Feb 16, 2010
I am attempting to discover how I can populate a ComboBox with the data values already located in a data source that has been added to my project. I know how to use the ComboBox.Add method. I also know how to add individual value items contained in a manually entered array at design time using the For Each Next loop. However, I am unable to populate a ComboBox with all values for a field of a table in a data source that has been added to my project. I assume that I am unaware of some simple referencing step that will solve this problem.

I have some combo boxes in the forms and want to populate them using the dataset which I have attached to the VB.net project. I used the following method.. but when I run the project, the combo box is still empty..

I have a simple access database that a log record gets written to a few times an hour.
I'm trying to make a DataGridView that shows that data as it arrives.
My "Solution" is simple;
when a user clicks the view -> read from the database (fill the datatable) -> update the view.
Not what I dreamed of, but functional, if totally sub-optimal.
However, my "solution" is a dud, using fill draws every single record from the database, even if there are already 599 on screen.
Really, I just want fill the datatable once, and add new records as they arrive (or on click if needs be).
Bonus point if you can also explain another way (that isn't called so often) to hide the ID column, and change the header of column 1 (named DateTimeStamp) to TimeStamp.
Public Class FormMain
Shared dataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter
Shared logTable As New DataTable("log")

I am working in vb.net and i have a simple requirement. I have added a MDB file to a dataset and it contains 21 tables. I have a datagridview and a combobox on my form. I was able to get the combobox populated with the table names available in the dataset by iterating through dataset.tables. Now i want to add the feature where the user can select the table name from the combo and then it should populate the contents of that table. I tried the following Code

I have inherited some code from an external contractor that I have to modify. Firstly, he uses a strongly typed dataset to retrieve some data from an SQL database and then uses that data to populate a listbox. I have decided to use a dropdown list (as the user can only ever select one value at a time).This is the code that populates the DropDownList
Private Sub FillUserComputer(ByVal userId As String)
Try
TraceDebug("Begin FillUserComputer"[code]....
This works well for the first two entries in the DropDownList. However, whenever I select one of the other options and click the Send Request button it "jumps back" to the 2nd entry in the list and sends that data instead, completely ignoring the option I selected.I think I have narrowed down the problem to the fact that the DataValue for the second entry in the list is a Null value.

I need to pull from an access database to populate a combobox. Then from there I need to have a second combo box populated depending on the selection in the first box. My thought of an example would be a website that is setup for selecting car make, modle,year...can that be done in VB?

I'm trying to write to a specific cell located in the datatable, which is from dataset. I know that it would be datagridview1.rows(xx).columns(xx).value=(""). But how to do it in a datatable
Public Class Form1
Dim ds As New DataSet1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim TestValue As String = "test value"
[Code] .....
The following code above does write to column 3 row 1, but if you say .rows(1), i get "there is no row at position 1". So, in summary if I have 7 columns, and I created a second row I want to write to column 3 and the 2nd row.

Visual Basic 2010 Express: I have a form with a combobox that is populated with the names of locations from a datagrid which in turn was imported at run-time (Form_Load) from an Excel database. The Excel database (and the datagrid) also stores the information for addresses and phone numbers for their respective locations.
What I would like to do is have the phone number and address text boxes automatically be updated with the proper corresponding data when the user selects a location from the combobox. Whether the text boxes are updated from the datagrid or Excel database is not a concern; I'm mainly looking for whichever way is simpler.

I used this code:
myCommand = New SqlComman("SELECT RackName FROM tblRack", myConnection)
myAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(myCommand)
myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "tblRack")
cboRack.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables(0)
then in the combobox i got the display "System.Data.DataRowView".

We have to get the data from a Ship to a Data centre which is located in a city. And the Ship has broad band connection via Satellite . So for capturing data from the ship we suggested to create a WCF services which will be deployed in Ship. And the Application Running on the Data center will call the service and get the data and upload it to the data centre . The same type of Application will be deployed in the data center to upload the data to the ship.

I have two ComboBoxes
<ComboBox Name="cmbMake" DisplayMemberPath="MakeName" SelectedValuePath="MakeID"/>
<ComboBox Name="cmbModel" DisplayMemberPath="ModelName"/>
I use LINQ-to-Entities to populate the cmbGroup ComboBox
Dim db as myDataEntity
cmbGroup.ItemsSource = db.Makes
How do I populate my second ComboBox (cmbModels) based on the selection of the first ComboBox (cmbMake) using XAML so that whatever I select in the first ComboBox automatically filters the ItemsSource in the second ComboBox?

I currently have a form with two comboxes. The first cbo is being populated with a project number, which is being pulled from the first column of a spreadsheet. I now want the second cbo to read the first cbo and then find that project number on the spreadsheet; when it finds that project number, I then need it to copy data from the row the project number is on. I have converted to vb from vba. Below is the code I used in vba (which obviously does not work). I only need certain cells from the project row.
Dim proj_num, rng As Range
Dim data, i As Long, j As Long
With Sheet1

I am new to VB. I have created some labels/textboxes in my Form1. I use them to do some calculations. Basically, this is my calculation area (in Form1) and then I want some of the results that have been calculated and showed in these texboxes to be shown in labels which are in another form (Form2). So here is what I have done in terms of coding:
Label12.Text = Transactions.ComboBox1.SelectedItem
Label13.Text = Transactions.ComboBox2.SelectedItem
Label14.Text = Transactions.ComboBox3.SelectedItem
Label15.Text = Transactions.TextBox1.Text
Label16.Text = Transactions.TextBox2.Text
These codes are in Form2 and Labels 12-16 are in my form2 as well. My form1 is called Transactions as you can see. Everything looks OK, when i run no errors, also when do the calculations and I go from form1(Transactions) to form2, labels 12-16 show the results from form1 but the problem when I go back to form1 and change the values and go back to form2, the labels 12-16 are not changed. They simply show the old values regarding of the fact that they have been changed in form1. So how can I make form2 to show them correctly, to refresh the form or what?

my program downloads into a combobox every item(line) that is in a text file located on a server.
Every line in the text file ends with "a)" or with "g)".
Now I just want to make 3 radio buttons:
- one that will allow the download in the combobox only the item ending with "g)"
- one that will allow the download in the combobox only the item ending with "a)"
- one that will allow the download in the combobox of both (I already know how to do).
How can I do so?
To download the entire list in the combobox I do:
Dim List As String = client.DownloadString("http://mywebsite.com/mytextfile.txt)Dim lines As String() = List.Split(New String() {ControlChars.CrLf}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)ComboBox1.Items.Clear()
ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(lines)

I'm trying to populate a combo box with a dataset, this sort of works, but everything is just appearing on the same line. I think this answer might be to put the dataset into an array, then put the array into the combo box.
...problem is, I'm not sure how to do this! My code thus far is,
Dim usernameList As Array
'Retrieve usernames where player has available status
GetFilteredData()

My problem is that I can't populate a datgrid with the contents of a dataset. Having searched for the last few days to try and resolve this, I have given up and thought I would try here. I am using Visual Studio 2010 and attempting to create a WPF application. As you can tell from the code I am very new to this and any suggestions for improvement will be most welcome. I can see that the dataset is populated ok via the visualizer, I have a datagrid 'dgBOM' which I want to display the results. A popular solution in my searches was to add '.DataSource' but when I type the '.' after dgBOM the Datasource option is not there.
Code:
Public Sub Connect()
Dim cn As OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
Dim dr As OleDbDataReader

I have need for a database in my latest app, i quickly realised it had been a long time since i last used a database and am in fact very very rusty on the subject. So i decided to create a simple DataSet using the designer, i created 2 tables as follows
Table 1 is Named Map and contains a 2 dimensional array each cell containing an array of object id's of anything in that cell, and a level ID.
Table 2 contains data about these objects ie size weight and a z-order, again referenced by an object id (matching Table1)
This i did with no issues, when it came however to actually populating these tables i drew a blank. Do i have to locate the database file and edit with notepad? I presume not. Maybe i have to use an external app like sqlmanager? I seem to recall from my past that i added table rows from within the designer but i cannot find this in 2010 express

This is a problem I have been trying to conquer for some time now and haven't managed to deal with. I've looked pretty hard on Google and so on, but most of what I find there is for populating a TreeView from a database. The closest I got was a bit of C# code for populating with a list of file paths. But unfortunately the result is individual roots & branches for each item.
What I'm working on is a message template tool where I'm trying to get the nodes in the treeview, which represents the templates, to populate from an XML file. I'm using DataSets for their simplicity of working with XML. Here's a basic example of the structure of the XML which is imported to the DataSet;
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<Templates>
<Item>
[Code].....
So the path to each node will look like RootBranchName. I know this will no doubt require some recursion, but recursion is one thing I haven't fully grasped yet.

I am creating an electronic display board using Visual Studio 2005, this will be an application using VB and not web based.What I am trying to do is use labels dynamicly and populate them from a dataset, Now there is a lot of labels on this board and to be honest the perfect solution would be to use a Data Grid View, unfortuantly I have to fit the information into a Custom Graphic that was created, hence the reason for labels.So obliviously I dont want to have to name each label and specify its information, for example:
Code:
Label1.text = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item(0)
Label2.text = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(1).Item(0)
Label3.text = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(2).Item(0)
So I thought about something as follows but not sure how to get it work.Say I new I had 100 Labels Label1 to Label100.
Code:
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 to 100
[code]....
Now the above doesnt work but it doesnt throw up any errors either.

I'm having a little trouble figuring how to do this.I have a dataset with a single table. Each row has the following fields ProductName, Version, CompanyName
The data might look like this
Visual Studio, 2005, Microsoft
Visual Studio, 2008, Microsoft
Office, 2007, Microsoft
I have already populated the TreeView with a list of Company names from a separate table. Now, what I want to do is to loop through my dataset adding a single node for each product under the appropriate manufacturer. Then under each product adding a separate node for each version of that product.
