The application I'm working on requires that I print out some tables without having a datagrid present.Is there a way to print the tables to a printer using the PrintDocument object or does have to be done another way?

I'm quite new into the programming game, I've been working on this program for a few weeks now, and its coming along, but the method I searched for entering new rows of data into my table doesn't seem to update my tables after I try entering data. I have a feeling it may be something very simple that i am over looking.

I designed a simple Table using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition in the GridView design. I am able to run the application and enter names and addresses then print them out in record view. I do not need to connect or save to a database, or set up any type of datasets and recordsets. Its is a simple DataTable design from the datagridview where I can run the application, then enter information and print it out, that's all. Now, I need to go a step further by adding another print button for printing labels, Avery 5160.
My question is not so much how to do it, but after running the application and entering the names and addresses, is it possible and how much coding will it require using the same GridView Table and the information I entered to result in a print output in Avery label format? If so, can someone please direct me in the right steps to get started, at the least?Currently the table is set up where I enter names and addresses in separate cells under each column and row, as shown in the example below. I arranged this so I can print out a record of entries where I am able to print preview and print a list of names and addresses in record view. Here I've accomplished my task and get the results I need when I run the application and print.
[Example]
[HEADER] LastName FirstName Address City St. Zip
[ROW] Marti Frank 12345 Somewhere Pl. #####
[ROW] Another Name 12345 Somewhere Pl. #####
[ROW] ##### ##### ##### ##### ## #####
Additionally, I want to be able to print a format of address labels, specifically Avery 5160, from the same entries I entered into the table, when I run the application. I do not want to enter names and addresses again but rather set up and click another print button. Kinda, similar to setting up a mail merge in word. So then, using the same application will I need to customize the cells to print out in an address label format, such as a similar format below, for multiple entries? Please check out this application at [URL] which is an excellent online label source but the format is set up different in that you enter the complete names and addresses into each cell. For my purposes, it is useful but requires more data entry and additional steps. Can I do something similar to this with the table I'm using in it's current design by setting up another print button and customizing the cells to get the proper format to print labels?
LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName
Address, City, St., Zip Address, City, St., Zip Address, City, St., Zip
LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName
[code]....
Do I need to run another application with VB? Is there a lot of coding required? Do I need to customize the cells? If I need to run a Word application to set up a mail merger then can use a PDF format instead?
I have now managed to add and delete the database table but I would like to be able to print it. May I know how?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to update a database table from my datagrid using an event handler and ItemCommand. I manage to call the routine and everything is working fine except the text that is inserted into my database is empty. I managed to track this back to the text not being passed from my datagrids footer to the sql parameters. I tried using a string first and then passing that to the parameters but they were also empty. I am accessing the control using the following line.
sqlcmd.Parameters.Add("@GoodsDesc", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = CType(e.Item.FindControl("txtGoodsDesc"), TextBox).Text
The control itself is defined using
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Goods Descriptions">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblGoodsDesc" Text='<%# Eval("GoodsDesc")
[Code]....
It's like the text in the footer isnt being tied to the control before I call it.
How can I fit the database table in a datagrid.. Because it is not fit on the database if it has few columns. For example, I have a size(400, 100) datagridview, I want the database table that will display in the datagridview is exact on the datagridview size..

I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time.

View 5 RepliesI have a program that I need to import a csv file into sql database/tables.I am using Visual Basic 2008 express and sql server. When complete I have to distribute this to several users where they will have csv files in the same format but with unique data.It has been several years since I have done any programming and then it was vb6.I have quickly realized that my vb6 books are going to do me no good. I have spent an entire day watching tutorial and reading forums to no use.
The csv file is full of junk, where some of the records are 92 fields and some are 122. The fields have data that may have dozens of characters before and/or after the data that I need. On the good side I was able to pull the file into access and load it into two tables by using something along the lines of (where this = this, fill this table and the same for the second table.) So I have my 92 char records in one file and the 122 in another.Unfortunately though I can not use access to do this as many of the users do not have it. But by doing this I was able to work with the data in the file to get all of the fields set for name, length, type ect.So then I went into my vb project and created the database with two files.I set the fields up according to the information I got from the access tables. So I know that these two tables are a perfect fit for the data in this file.
What I need to be able to do is have the user browse through the program to find the csv file they will be using. If they have followed my directions, they should have placed it in the same folder as they program I will send them.I then need the program to take that file and import the data into my sql database/tables.I have come to the conclusion, given the condition of this file, that rather than try and clean it up before using it, it will make more sense to just get it loaded into the two tables.Then have my forms ect go and get the information that they need from the tables. Then after we are done using the records save them to a clean tables.
Some example code to insert rows of datagridview into a sql express database table? Also, how do I manage concurrency as it is a multi user application?
View 1 RepliesBasically I have a DataGrid on a form that is used to monitor attendance. I do this by making the data types for the relevant fields boolean so that at runtime, they appear as check boxes that the user can tick. If the user ticks this then the table in MySQL saves this as a 1, or if it is left unticked the table saves it as a 0. I then use those values in a mathematical equation to calculate weekly attendance.
My problem, however, is with saving changes to the table itself. Initially I set a primary key which was fine and allowed me to save. However I needed to turn that primary key to a foreign key and when I do that, I am told that I need a primary key. Now I got round that before when I was entering data into a text box and in my SQL query I'd simply put as my value being " & (name of textbox).Text & " but when I am entering data straight onto the datagrid, I am unsure of what to put in my SQL statement.
StudentID (Was primary key but turned it into foreign key)
Name
Surname
Monday
[cod]....
My friend from college told me it's probably because there are multiple records in the database and can't distinguish between the two (as perhaps there's no WHERE clause in that UpdateCommand) but I doubt it as it was working perfectly well with multiple records when StudentID was a primary key.

The above is more or less the complete question. I have created a table in the VB 2010 Database Explorer but I cannot for the life of me work out how I can get this copied or created into the underlying server. It is not appearing in the underyling serverand when I run the code of course I ge "invalid object <tablename>" I have data as well in the table that appears in Database Explorer. I think I have missed something fundamental in my overall conception of using VB 2010 Express with SQL Server Express in that I don't know if I have a local copy (that isn't then mirrored on the server), or what (the ____ have I got)? An article that explains the overall relation of Database Explorer to the underyling Server would be great as well
