Populating A Dataset With Tables From A Database At Form Load?
May 6, 2010
I dont know how to dynamically populate a dataset based off the tables in an existing database.Once I can get the dataset to populate, I can then move forward with the next step of the project.
I have a database that has tables in it. Tables can be added to this databse programatically as well as the data that needs to be in those tables.I need to be able to query that database to get what tables are in it, place the names of those tables into a listbox so that when a user clicks on the name of the table, It will update a DataGridview with the data that is in that table in the database.I assume that you would need to build a dataset at runtime based off of what tables are in the DB, but i have no idea how to do this.
For some unkown reason, my database tables will not drag and load onto a vb form, just get a circle with a slash in the middle. Trying to tanslate the table into textbox's.
I am populating a collection from some tables in the database which serves as a look-up from controls (combobox) I am using but what I want is rather than hitting the database each time can I just cache the collection and get the collection from the cache? The look-up table may or may not change all the time so I would want to have a way to validate if the cached collection is still valid or not.
i am having an issue populating two combo boxes on form load. The program will connect to an access database and pull data as instructed. Then as it pulls each record it puts it into the combo box.
This was working.. atleast i think it was. i dont recall it ever not working, however i wasn't looking for it.
My problem is that if when i load the MDI parent form and have it skip the selection form and the login form and load the next form in the sequence, it loads everything perfectly. However if the select form is loaded first, then the login form and then the form i need loaded, it will not populate. The only difference between the two different loads is that the login form calls a function that loads the form as a new project.form
I did this so that I can have multiple forms open at a time. I am assuming my problem is that I need to get the child forms handle then populating controls using that handle? but i think if I had to do that then I would beable to populate the comboboxes on the first form load using the login method of opening the form.
Here's my code.
vb.net Private Sub frmLine1t5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.Text = "Line " & LineNumber & " Test Form"
i have a few questions about seting up a form.when you creat a new for open the dataset drag and drop the tables to form it creates a top menu bar with pages plus sign and x and save.now when you run the app you need to press the plus sign to add data in the database..is there a way to make it that you dont need to press the plus sign?
i have imported names from database table into combobox..i want to add item"all" above all names..how can i just add one single item in combobox after populating it form database tabel.
I have got a database with a bunch of tables in it. So far, i can query that database and get the names of all the tables into a listbox. this is sweet.
What i need to do now is to enable the user to click on a table name thats listed in the listbox (which were put there using the
GetOleDbSchemaTable method)
and when they do, i need to populate the Datagridview with the relevant data thats sitting in the table that is listed in the listbox.
I've tried a couple things to get the tables themselves to populate the DGV(which kind of works now), but not the Data thats sitting in the individual table.
I'm trying to populate an Access Data Table (5 columns) with a Visual Studio front end, but I'm not clear on how to pass the data through the parameters. I have created a connection, a data adapter, and a data set in the project by dragging them onto the form. I know the connection works because I can see my Access database using the Server Explorer. I have an INSERT command in the data adapter and the parameters are represented in this command with question marks. See my insert command below INSERT INTO tbl_ConstraintLogs (ConstrinatChangeReason, ConstraintTagName, ConstraintValueBefore, ConstraintValueAfter, onstraintTimeChange) VALUES The values that I want to pass to the database are coming from text boxes or they are program generated. For example: If I have a variable in my program called "AbcValue", how do I get the value of this variable into the database as the first parameter. I was trying to use the "Fill" command, but I'm at a loss here.
I was just wondering if I can retrieve two tables from my database to one form? because i'm trying it but it doesn't seem to be working. just the first table i'm trying to retrieve is working.
I am trying to get my head around datasets, etc. The following code pulls data from an sql server and stores it in a data set. I then set the grid's datasoure to this data set. Now I want to populate a combo box on 'form load' with information from a field (surname) within the authors table.How do I approach this? I can do it in design mode but I want to do it in code as I feel you get a better understanding of what is happening under the hood.
I am trying to use a DataSet to retrieve the data necessary to display a Crystal Report. Just before the report is set to load, I have a message box to show the number of rows in the table. As of right now, when the message box comes up it says "3" which is right. I have 3 records currently in the table I am trying to read from. But the report is always blank with the column headings. [code]....
I am new to the forum and I was wondering if anyone would know how to display data from the tables of a MS Access database on labels on a form. The code underneath is my code for saving inputted data from textboxes.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click objDA = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM CDetails", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password=;" & "User ID=Admin;Data Source =" & Application.StartupPath & "CustomerDetails.mdb") objDS = New Data.DataSet() objCB = New OleDbCommandBuilder(objDA) [Code] ..... I would like to show these saved details onto another form. Is there a way to select rows and cells in the database and fetch the data in them to display them onto labels?
I created a SQL database using the migration tool.I am converting my access forms to VB.net (VS2008).I am wondering if I create a single dataset in studio to the database or do I create a dataset for each form (query)? I am trying to determine what the best solution is. Many of my forms have drop downs that are populated using queries from tables.
I created a simple form which has two tableadapters to a Access database. On the form I have a combobox that uses the Category TableAdapter and it populates on load fine. the other control is a DataGridView1 which is popluated by the Message Table Adapter based on which Category is selected. It does NOT populate on LOAD and thats my problem.
So the result I'm looking for is when you run the app and my first form loads it
A. Chooses the frist Category in the list (and it does that fine)
B. Populates the DataGridView1 based on the first Category (this is my problem) The DataGridView1 does Populate after I re-select the Category in the combobox1.
Here is my code below.
Public Class FunnyMessages Dim catid As Integer Private Sub FunnyMessages_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow() Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders OrderWindow.ShowDialog() End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
I 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?
Heres my issue, I am retrieving data from xml and populating a DataSet with the results into multiple DataTables but i have an issue where an item is repeated in my input data and it is causing it to exception because of the constraints imposed between these tables. how can i determine if a row exists prior to adding the DataRow and thus not include it in my DataTable?
I have a dataset (WW1Dataset) with one data table(WW1).(database used in an access database) I'm trying to filter the dataset e.g a user wants to filter by a chosen surname (SurnameTextBox.text) so the datset is filtered to display only those records wherethe surname column in the dataset matches SurnameTextBox.text.
Frontend: Visual Basic.Net VS: VS 2010 .net Framework: 4.0 Backend: MySQL 5.0. Everything is working well, add/edit/save. I am using datasets to manipulate the database the forms are created by wizard and i drag and drop the details over the form. The Problem: I delete a record on the form, it disappears (it deletes it from dataset i think) but i go to the database it is still there also if i close the form and re-open it the records re-appear.
There is something i do but it raises an error, after deleting the records i hit the save button,the following comes up. Transaction has already been rolled back or is not pending after that the records are really deleted.
just as what i mentioned in above, the problem is i add a new windows form, in which is a database with dataset, in the main form when i press a button. this database form should come out, i used the easiest way like form2.show(), while conforms
I have connected a form to my database, which displays info when the form loads, butttt it displays them from load, which is not what I need, can someone tell me how to clear the form upon load so that none of the textbox fierlds have data within them? Untill I request them to.
I have one dataset with two tables and when some values from tables are changing I need somehow to change the values from table 2. Table one is conected to an SQL server. One table 1 receives a message from sql service broker it automatically reload all the information. I need in that moment to compare what I have new in table 1 and put it in table 2. I have made with <br />For i=1 to ..<br /> </p>
I am trying to develop a report that displays the result of a query that returns two tables. The first table is always a single row of values, the second should be a grid. I can get a report to display either independently, however it will not allow me put them both on the same report.
I am having a data set in vb.net with two tables one table is filled by using oracle databse and another one from Sql 2005. How can we join these two tables in the dataset?
