Reading Excel Into DataGridView And Typing The Data Columns VB 2010?
Sep 5, 2011
In my application I read data (using data binding) from an Excel spreadsheet into a DataGridView. This works, but the data columns contain text fields (strings). I would like to set the data type for some columns to "Date" and Decimal. I cant do this on the DataGridView (error: cant change properties for data-bound stuff) and I cant figure out how to do it on the dataset or data-table that I bind to the DataGridView.The following is the code I use to read and bind the data:
Using con As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(cs)
'
'open the OleDbConnection
[code]....
The commented out code (below the 'Todo: comment) causes a additional table, but I want to change the table with the data.

I finally got this code to work:
vb
Dim path As String = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
Dim myDataset As New DataSet()
Dim strConn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.Oledb.12.0;Data Source=" & path & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1""")
Dim myData As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", strConn)
myData.Fill(myDataset)
DataGridView1.DataSource = myDataset.Tables(0).DefaultView
Now that I figured that out I was going to try and place the data in a specific location. On my application I have a datagridview set up with 4 columns. What I would like to do is put column A of the excel file under the 1st column of the datagridview and column C of the Excel File in the second column of the datagridview.
So replace:
vb
DataGridView1.DataSource = myDataset.Tables(0).DefaultView
With:
vb
DataGridView1.columns(0) = myDataset.Tables(0).columns(0)
DataGridView1.columns(1) = myDataset.Tables(0).columns(2)
Obviously this doesnt work, and something tells me I might need a for loop to import the data, but I have never imported information from an Excel file before and to make it worse I have never worked with datagridviews before so I have no idea how to go about this.
I would like to do something like this if I could:
vb
For x = 1 To xldoc.rows.length - 1
DataGridView1.Item(0, x).Value = CType(xlDoc.Cells(0, x + 1), Excel.Range).Text
Next

I have some trouble with opening a excel sheet and getting some data out of it.
I want my program to have a button, when pressed, gives a "select excel file" popup and then load the data from some cells into my sql database.
So, when opening a excel file the program should get the data from cell D3 to D8 and put that into the sql database.
I now have the following, but that will only open the excel file.
Public Class Form1
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
Private Sub ConnectDB()
[Code]....

I am reading XLS files, via JET provider, using the following
Dim conString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;data source=" + fileName + ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;"""
cn = New OleDbConnection(conString)
cn.Open()
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" & sheetname & "]", cn)
da.Fill(dt)
The problem I am facing now is that some of these excel files have hidden columns: These columns are meant to be ignored. However, the code above fills my datatable with ALL columns (hidden and nothidden). Is there any "Extended Property" that I could add to the connection string, to ignore hidden columns?

I'm a new VB programmer, although I have a decent background in java.Anyways, I'm learning VB and I'm trying to read data from an Excel file using VB 2008 and can't figure out how to accomplish this. I can't seem to get any data from the Excel spreadsheet to display in a simple Windows form. Also, there's a decent amount of data in the spreadsheet so I was wondering if it makes sense to just read data as needed from the excel spreadsheet or if there was some type of data structure that I could import the entire Excel spreadsheet into and do my analysis from there.

Here are quick scenarios: there are two chkbox columns "Parent" and "Child" In the Parent Column, you're only allowed to choose ONE chkbox AND the chosen chkbox in the PARENT shouldn't be available to check in the CHILD chkbox, while in the child you're allowed to choose as many as you want.
The selected records (checked chkboxes) should be transfered in the database after clicking the Consolidate Button.

I have a form containing a datagridview and a groupbox containing 2 radiobuttons.If radiobutton 1 is selected only the order headers are shown.If radiobutton 2 is selected only the orderlines are shown.There also is a button called "show". When clicked the dgv gets filled with data.When I first select radiobutton 2 (orderlines) and I press the show button the columns in the DGV are in the right order (as shown in the code "strview").If I select radiobutton 1 still the columns are in the right order.HOWEVER...when I now select radiobutton 2 the order of the columns get all messed up.
