I am ably to load a XML file (via a filepath) to a datatable. See code below.However, I'd like to be able to load a in-memory XML document to a datatable.
Code: Public Function XmlToDataTable(ByRef filePath As String) As DataTable
Dim ds As New DataSet Dim dt As New DataTable ds.ReadXml(filePath) dt = ds.Tables(0).Copy()
Return dt
End Function
My code is crap, so I don't really think it will be useful because I've been going about it differently than I really want to:[code]..... I really don't wanna be loading a file in, I just wanna use XMLDocument() to create a file from my DataTable.But, my file ain't coming out right and I'm sorta just lost as to how this is all supposed to fit together.
When the user clicks an "Edit" button on my form, I want a box to come up which allows the user to edit a DataTable in a strongly-typed DataSet. What's the best way to do this?
I have code running in the Datatable.ColumnChanging event in my dataset. This dataset underlies a form and conventional drag/drop controls are in place for data entry.when the event triggers and runs, I am running code in the form that checks the dataset.HasChanges property. It is showing False. But this is immediately after the ColumnChanging event has been triggered.Okay, I see by others posts and MSDN that .HasChanges will only be true after moving off the row with the changed column. I have also noted lots of discussion about the advanced binding property of DataSourceUpdate Mode, but that does not address this issue.I guess I can do this by checking the state of the row for the binding source. Just seems odd that the event behind the dataset can be triggered and that does not change the dataset.HasChanges property.
I have build a datatable in vb dim Booking_table as datatable Is it possible to add this datatable to a dataset or do I have to build in acces2007 and import in VB.
I have a strongly typed dataset and datatable and I am trying to do an add row. Dim newDT As New hdar.AccessRequestsDataTable Dim newRow As hdar.AccessRequestsRow = newDT.NewAccessRequestsRow newRow.Number = nextNumber newRow.RequestedByID = Me.cboUser.SelectedValue newRow.RequestedOn = Date.Now.ToShortDateString [Code] .....
I am trying to put a datatable into a dateset, which I then export to a CSV file. I am getting this error
DataTable already belongs to another DataSet. on the following line dsExport.Tables.Add(dtExport) VB Using dtExport As DataTable = DirectCast(dgvSafetyGlasses.DataSource, DataTable)
I used to do all the database logic with SqlCommand and the Methodes ExecuteReader and ExecuteNonReader and never used something like DataSet or Datatable.
Dim dbcon As Data.Common.DbConnection Dim cmdselect = dbcon.CreateCommand() cmdselect.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1"[code]...
This is sometimes hard to administrate. So I would like to use a more efficent way. May thought was to Query a DataTable, make changes to it and then call .AcceptChanges and all changes where wrote back to the Database. But this seems not to be the way it works?The method .Update requires that i bring with my own update command, if i have to do that myself, why using the datatable, dataset... anyway?How do you write your DB Backend?
With SQLCommands arrays and variables? With DataSet, DataTable? With a VisualStudio genereated template? With Linq?
I am using strongly typed dataset and have many tables in that. The problem is now I want to filter data from GetData() function which has a query like select * from table_name
How can I filter a particular table and distinct values from it. Also if I try to filter it return all column but rest have null values except the one I asked, so I cannot assign it as a datasource to a datagrid or combobox. How can I do this..
I am new to vb.net and I am trying to query a database and print out the records in the row to the console window. I got it to work, but I have a feeling that there is a more concise way to do this. One thing that I am sure is wrong is that I had to convert the dataset to a datatable to be able to retrieve the values. Is that correct? Could you take a look at the code below (especially the for loop) and let me know what I can improve upon?
I've been fighting with this problem for 2 weeks now and haven't been able to figure it out to parse data from a text file to a datatable using SteamReader. I am trying to import the data like it is displayed in the datatable into SQL Server 2005, I have tried using sqldataadapter approach, the standard approach, ADO.NET approach. [code]...
I am trying to update mysql table from a txt file using vb.net. So far I've found code here and there and been able to extract the data from the txt file, now my question is how to update mysql from the same dataset or xml file. Here is my code to populate the datagrid/dataset/xml file.what is the easiest way to update mysql assuming "Orden" is my primary key in mysql.
I've been using VB for some time now, but I must admit I am a little confused. I started learning with 2002, then 2003, 2005 and now 2008. I think database coding must have been going through a kind of transition when I was trying to teach myself the basics. As a result, I am not entirely clear on a few things..
1) What's the difference between a DataTable and a DataSet. Why would I use one over the other?
2) Personally I dislike using DataAdapters etc and much prefer typing my connections in code so I can see what's what. When using the visual tools things are 'hidden' from view and it's not clear what's going on - do others find the same or is this just me being old fashioned?
3) Using my code-based approach (ie: creating SQL connection, using ExecuteNonQuery and a SQLDataReader to read the results into my application) - is this less efficient than the alternative methods?
4) Finally...LINQ. Is it any better and should I be using it as standard practice?
I have connected my sql db with vb and I m trying to make a UI. My question is that when I write code in order to create datatables and I fill them with the results of queries I've created, where do these datatables belong? I'm wondering if I have to define a new dataset or do they belong to the existed dataset which is created by the dataset configuration wizard??
I am developing a Windows-application - database mssql - visual basic.I add Datasets to forms, bind them to daatagridview/textboxes - fill with dataadapter - everything's fine so far.
Here's my question:how do I programmaticaly move from a record/datarow i a dataset to another.I know the value of the key-field and want that record to be shown. If I use the dataset.datatable.findbykey-method, the program finds the record, but it doesn't move there.
I have two functions in a class. One function returns a datatable, the other one returns a dataset. Both functions are identical except of the return type (Datatable or dataset). I would like to have only one function which returns either dataset or datatable depending on what the user of the class wants. How can I do this.
Following code shows my function returning a datatable:
Public Shared Function ExecuteSPDatatable(ByVal storedProcedure As String, ByVal ParamArray parameters() As SqlParameter) As DataTable Dim tbl As DataTable
In vb.net is it possible to execute a sp for a dataset (datatable) ?
If no is there any alternative to do this as when I execute a sp from database it gives data saved in my db but if I am working on local dataset how to get updated data from same sp without saving to sql db first
fill a NEW DataSet's DataTable with data from a DataGridView? I am generating a data report that uses that "new DataSet." I need to go from a DataGridView to a DataSet because i need the person to be able to perhaps edit the information before its inserted into the report. my process to generate the report is...
- fill datagridview with advanced join sql - allow user to edit datagrid if necessary - put datagrids modified information in new dataset - set report's databinding source to new dataset - generate report...
When i load my database i load it into a DataSet.When i search the database i load the results in to a DataTable.I want to find what index a search result has in the DataSet.When navigating the dataset i can use this code to get the index ds.Tables"Filmer").Rows.IndexOf(ds.Tables ("Filmer"). Rows(inc))But i can't make i get the dataset index of a search result from the DataTable.I thought that i could use the same code when navigating the DataTable, but it only returns.
I am trying to convert my EnumerableRowCollection into a DataTable, but I can't see the CopyToDataTable method. The enm.CopyToDataTable() has the blue saw tooth line under it with error saying " 'CopyToDataTable' is not a member of 'System.Data.EnumerableRowCollection' ". I have set a Reference to System.Data, System.Data.Linq, and System.Data.DataSetExtensions. I thought the CopyToDataTable method was part of the System.Data.DataSetExtensions, right? Anyone know why I can't access this method?
