Can't Seem To Use An Excel File As Data Source?
Oct 12, 2007This should be very simple but I'm very new to Visual Studio so I can't get it to work. I want to take data from an excel (2003) file and turn it into a bunch of charts that would be viewable on a webpage that I'm trying to build in Visual Studio .Net 2005 professional.
I can't seem to use an excel file as my data source, here are the steps that I've followed:
1) created a new asp.net project
2) dragged a report viewer from the toolbox and it asks me to choose a report or "Design New Report."
3) Clicked Design New Report, and it opened up a new blank report.
4) Clicked "Add New Data Source" and got the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard.
5) Clicked new connection and it brought up the Add connection table.
6) Clicked "change" under data source and I chose Microsoft ODBC Data Source (not sure if that's right.)
7) Under "Data source specification" I chose "Excel Files"
- The first time I did this it brought up a window for me to choose an excel file so I did. Something along the way failed out but it stilled saved "ConnectionString1" as a connection to that first excel file. Now every time after I choose "Excel Files" and click "OK" the add connection window disappears and it goes back to the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard with the "ConnectionString1" as the connection string. It won't let me specify any different excel file. So I did 1-6 again and picked up at 7B
7B) Instead of using "Use user or system data source name:" I chose "Use connection string:" and clicked Build.
8) Picked the "Machine Data Source" tab and chose "Excel Files" and clicked ok
9) The "Select Workbook" window appears so I went to the file I wanted to use as my data source and click OK
10) Back on the Add Connection window I clicked test connection and it succeeded so I clicked ok.
11) It goes back to the Table Adapter Config Wiz window, but the connection string only says "Dsn=Excel Files"
12) clicked Next, then Next again, then clicked on Query Builder. The Add Table window pops up but there is nothing in there for me to choose from.I've tried a million other things, here are a few of the errors that I seem to get a lot.
[IM006][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
[HYC00][Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Optional feature not implemented
[HY001][Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Too many fields defined.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Is there a reference I need to add or something?

Mar 16, 2009I'm not sure if it can even be done, or if this is the proper place to post this question. I'm hoping that someone could give me a start in the right direction.I am looking for a way to link an Excel Spreadsheet to Microsoft Visio. I am envisioning this as an add in developed for Visio.To Summarize I would like to be able to list the steps of a process in Excel, and import the excel sheet into Visio. Finally I would like Visio to generate a flow chart based off of this imported data.I have developed a more detailed flowchart as to how I think this should work as well as a sample Excel sheet. The files are in a zip file which I would be more than glad to send to anyone who may be able to shed some light on the subject.

VS 2010 - Update Data Source When Database Field Definition Change
Nov 11, 2010I'm using a MS Access 2007 database. I modified the field definition of one of the fields in a table, it a text field and I change the maximum length from 40 to 150. I have a data source in my app that contains this table and many others. I refreshed the data source but the change didn't take affect. I went through configure option but the change still didn't take affect. It gives me this error,
The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column.
If I add/delete a database field the data source is updated when I go through the configure process. I finally just deleted the table from my data source and then added it back.

View 2 RepliesReading In Data From One Excel File Write That Data To A Different Excel File?
Sep 28, 2011I am reading in data from an excel file that is only viewed inside the program. This excel file is being populated by data from multiple PLCs (7) through DDE links via RS Linx Gateway. I would like this data to be written to two different excel files and specific sheets within those so that it can be viewed later on.
My program has a form that will allow the user to view the data live, meaning they look at the first excel file from the program so that they are not able to edit the DDE links or change the file in any way. The other excel files (there will be two, one for good parts, one for bad parts) have specific sheets for each part and each tester station. For example, if the part is a ABC part, and it is a good part, and it was tester on tester station 1 then it needs to be saved to the good parts excel file, in the ABC sheet and in the good tester station 1 sheet.
If part XYZ comes along and is a bad part (fails testing) then it needs to be saved to the bad parts file, the XYZ sheet and the bad tester station 1 sheet.I might have added more detail than is needed to solve the problem but I thought I would add it anyways to help you all understand my problem a little better.

Updating Excel In A Loop Does Not Update New Data?
Apr 10, 2012I am working on trying to update a list of items to an Excel spreadsheet. I have created my own custom class called Songs and a List(Of Songs) that I want to update the spreadsheet with. It seems like everything is working -- I have even put in a debug msgbox that displays what Song it is currently on while iterating thru the loop -- but after the code iscomplete, I check the spreadsheet and only the first song in the list gets updated. I'm thinking it must have something to do with either the connection string or the parameters that prevents it from updating any other song records. BTW, there is no errors being tossed so it ats like it everything is being processed, just that the data doesn't change for the update inside the loop. Here is the section of

Update Excel File Via OLEDB?
Aug 13, 2009I have some excel file, where I have to programatically delete all hidden columns.The problem if that, when I receive these files, the cells are mainly formulas, and as I delete some columns I get some "#REF#" problems.
I thought a bit about the problem an decided to create a function that loops throught all cells and replace the value by its own value, before deleting the columns, via OLEDB:
dt.Rows(row)(col) = dt.Rows(row)(col).ToString I don't know if this works. So I followed an update example I found in google, but it doesn't work:
Dim conexao_Excel As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;data source=" & fileName & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;"""
cn = New OleDbConnection(conexao_Excel)
cn.Open()
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" & sheetname & "]", cn)
da.Fill(dt)

Using A Data Reader To Read An Excel Spreadsheet And Want To Update A SQL Express Table?
Mar 10, 2009I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am using a data reader to read an Excel spreadsheet and want to update a SQL Express table. The datatypes in this table mimic a software application I will eventually be passing data to and are listed in the comments in my code. No matter what I do or change, this will not run. I even populated my spreadsheet with zeros and this will not run. I have found many suggestions on the web and tried changing things but nothing seems to work. I also don't know specifically which variable is causing the error or the proper way to make sure there are no blanks in this spreadsheet.The error says "conversion from string "" to 'Double' is not valid Here is my code:
Public Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click

IDE :: Data Source Disappeared - Recreate My Data Source From The Entry That Is In App?
Feb 10, 2012I refreshed my data sources to include additional items from the SQL Server databases and it appears that my entire data source from my VB.NET project disappeared.I am using Entity Framework. I may have clicked on something wrong, not quite sure. Unfortunately I can't recreate the Data Source without creating a new Entity and Data Model.I can delete the entry in the App.Config file and recreated it, however things aren't quite right.Is there a way that I can recreate my Data Source from the entry that is in my App.Config file...since that appears to have remained intact.BTW, I can go to my Data Model and successfully refresh from there, however my project isn't connecting to the database so I have quite a number of errors until I can get reconnected.

Sep 7, 2011I'm trying to "convert" an Access DB to a stand alone application. I have under estimated the differences between VBA and VB. Although I have many questions, I'll focus on this topic first.
The Access DB collects and maintains SNMP traps from a radio station. I import CSV files from a remote Unix server via FTP, parse the text line-by-line, and add to a table as a new record. So far, I can parse the text and add to a dataset but I want to write directly to the data source. I also need error handling that will trap errors for duplicate records. There is a Reconcile function that ensures that all lines in the CSV files are added to the table before the files are permanently deleted. Here's what I have so far:

There's a column of datagridview contain complete address information of a image. I'm thinking a way to link image source (of form 2 or xaml file) to the the column so that the image will be displayed. is there any code to get cell value at the specific location in the table? In excel VBA, sheets("Sheetname").Cells(rownumber, columnnumber).value is used to get the cell value, but how about code for this case?
