Hi,
I wonder if its possible to query the tables in a dataset same as we do with the database tables!
I have loaded my dataset with almost 10 tables and now want to extract data from four of those tables to display everything in a datagrid!
But i couldn't find a way as how easily it can be done?
In other words i was just trying to avoid the SQL JOINS ... so i opted for dataset manipulations..
any help in this regard will be appreciated!!!
Thanks

Well, if you wanted to do it the same way as you would from SQL, you'd STILL be using the JOIN's. But since you can't do it using the same SQL syntax, no.
What's so hard about learning the JOIN clause anyway? Just learn it and get it overwith. You'll need it in the future and it's much easier than the way you want to do it now, so why wait?

Yeah thanks for the good advice and i have already started working with JOINs somehow .. But still are there any ways to filter data from two or more tables of a dataset using some criteria?
Also, when i have populated my datagrid with three or more tables how can i update data in all three if some changes occur in datagrid?
thanks

My problem is that in the program that I am writing I cannot save the changes to database after I load the tables from it.
Dim connstr As String = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" & _
" DATA SOURCE = megas.mdb"
Dim sqlstr As String = " select * from megas "
Dim dtb As New DataTable
‘--------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub btnload_Click(…) Handles btnload.Click
dtb.Clear()
Dim dataadapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sqlstr, connstr)
dataadapter.Fill(dtb)
dataadapter.Dispose()
dgdisplay1.DataSource = dtb
End Sub
‘-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub btnsave_Click (…) Handles btnsave.Click
Dim changes As Integer
Dim dataadapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sqlstr, connstr)
Dim commandbuilder As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(dataadapter)
changes = dataadapter.Update(dtb)
dataadapter.Dispose()
If changes > 0 Then
MsgBox("SAVED ")
Else
MsgBox("not saved")
End If
End Sub
I load the table form the database and nothing goes wrong with this part, but when I want to save the changes and I click the save btn , that is what I get
“An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in system.data.dll “
What am I doing wrong? And why should I be getting this?
Thank you.
• Thanks for the previous help from Dave Kreskowiak and Naji Kotob +mackay, it really helped, especially that article.

The OleDb.OleDbException class is created whenever the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB encounters an error generated from the server. (Client side errors are thrown as standard common language runtime exceptions.) OleDbException always contains at least one instance of OleDbError. -an explanation from msdn
--the most common cause of this is because of a missing data source
as what is written on your code:
Dim connstr As String = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" & _
" DATA SOURCE = megas.mdb"
the "DATA SOURCE" should be replaced by "DataSource"(no spaces)
and make sure that megas.mdb is properly installed on the odbc connection.

Hi,
general exceptions (I guess OleDbException qualifies) often contain an "internal exception".
You wont see it if you just look at Exception.Message, but you would see it
when looking at Exception.ToString() so I recommend everyone to always log or display
Exception.ToString(); it is longer by the fact that it provides more information.
I am not sure but expect this to apply to your situation too.

I am trying to figure out how to retrieve the Event Sources from an event log using WMI. I am using the list to populate a combobox in the main program. I am including the function that I am using to return a comma-separated list of sources that will be put into an array to add to the combo-box ItemRange property. (I realize there may be a better way to do that part, but I am new to this and any constructive criticism will be appreciated.)
When I run the program, the error is that the Strings.Len(arrSourceNames) must be greater than 0. I can't figure out why the "sources()" property from WMI is not populating.
I have used this code on another function to grab the list of Event Logs (application, system, etc) that are available on the computer (with some modifications, of course). It works in that capacity. I think the problem lies somewhere in pulling the array of sources from the WMI query.
Here is the code...
Private Function GetEventSources(ByVal _computerName As String, ByVal _logFile As String) As String<br />
Dim arrSourceNames As String = ""<br />
<br />
If _computerName <> My.Computer.Name.ToString Then<br />
Dim wmiScope As New ManagementScope("\\" & _computerName & "\root\cimv2")<br />
wmiScope.Connect()<br />
<br />
Dim wmiQuery As New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NTEventLogFile WHERE LogFileName = '" & _logFile & "'")<br />
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(wmiScope, wmiQuery)<br />
Dim queryCollection As ManagementObjectCollection = searcher.Get()<br />
For Each m As ManagementObject In queryCollection<br />
For Each source As String In m("Sources()")<br />
arrSourceNames = arrSourceNames & source & ","<br />
Next<br />
Next<br />
Else<br />
Dim wmiQuery As New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NTEventLogFile WHERE LogFileName = '" & _logFile & "'")<br />
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(wmiQuery)<br />
Dim queryCollection As ManagementObjectCollection = searcher.Get()<br />
For Each m As ManagementObject In queryCollection<br />
For Each source As String In m("Sources()")<br />
arrSourceNames = arrSourceNames & source & ","<br />
Next<br />
Next<br />
<br />
End If<br />
<br />
Return Strings.Left(arrSourceNames, Strings.Len(arrSourceNames) - 1)<br />
<br />
End Function
Any help to figure this out will be appreciated greatly.

I'm willing to bet that there is not a property in your returned Win32_NTEventLogFile objects that is called "Sources()". It's probably called "Sources" though.

Thanks Dave...
You were correct, there is no Sources() property, but there is a Sources property. It was confusing looking at the MSDN content about the Win32_NTEventlogFile class because it shows it as Sources(). Oh well. The other thing I learned, once I fixed that problem, is that I wasn't passing an actual logfile name to the function. I was sending cboList.SelectedValue and should have been sending cboList.Text. Once I made that change, everything worked much better. It also helped me to encapsulate that code into a procedure that I can call in the form load as well as any other time the items changed.
Thanks for your help with this.

Hi to all
i am new programmer my proble is i am created one
Service Request report which fetch the data from the
database now when i click on one button i want to convert it into that of the pdf file.
pl. suggest me
Thanks

If you are using ReportViewer then your user should be able to export to pdf. If you are talking about the ability to generate pdf from your code, then you need 3rd party tools.

how can i simulate right button click in a VB6 program
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help
and plz do tell how can i simulate left button click with its single click and double click properties in VB6
FARAH

|

Are you trying to send this mouse click to your own code?? Or to an outside application??
In your own code, you do'nt have to simulate a mouse click. How you reorganize your code to allow calling it from other places depends on what your code is doing in its mouse click event.
If an outside app, look into getting the window handle of the control you want to send the mouse click to and use the Win32 API function SendMessage to send a properly formatted mouse window message to the target window.

Private Sub Button1_Click(... )
dim f as new form1
f.MdiParent = Me
f.show()
ens sub
this code allways creates a new mdi child i need only one instance at a time. how can i prevent duplicating form1 ?
i am using vs2003
thanks

Hi,
In the main form:
Private Sub Button1_Click(... )
if bLoaded = True then Exit Sub
dim f as new form1
f.MdiParent = Me
bLoaded = True
f.show()
ens sub
'... in form1.Closed
bLoaded = False
.... in a module
Friend bLoaded as Boolean = False
hope this helps

|
|
thanks 4 ur reply!
is there any other way to load a form other than
"dim f as new form1" this way ?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
You could simply execute Form.Show() [VB2005], but form1 is a class and I prefer to create an instance of it explicitly using the New Keywork 
regards
|
|
|
|
|
there is no Show() member function found for form1. is it bcause of vb2003?
|
|
|
|
|
No, there isn't. The advice was bad. There is another way of creating an instance of a form, but involves Reflection and a lot more code than just myForm = New MyFormClass.
|

If you want to use the control that is used in the windows Task Manager to show the task and status for an application then follow these steps:
1.) Add a ListView to your form
2.) Set the "View" property to "Details"
3.) Go to the "Columns" property and click in the text field next to the word "Columns" where it says "(Collection)" and then click on the small button marked "..."
4.) Add a ColumnHeader by clicking the "Add" button
5.) Name your ColumnHeader
6.) Type the title that you want on the ColumnHeader in the text field next to the word "Text" and your done
OPTIONAL
LabelEdit Property - If this property is set to true the user can double-click an item in the listview to be able to change it.

Is there a question in here, or just a piece of advice ?

I am working in VB.net 2003.
The project is to convert some fortran code to vb.
I have a set of fortran routines and one function.
I have converted them to the best of my abilty but have a few remaining problems: (at least I hope so)
Problem 1^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Value of type 'Double' cannot be converted to '2-dimensional array of Double"
This is the line raising the error: eight lines after the "180:"
Call DBNFAC(W(IWP, 1), NWROW, N, ILB, IUB, IFLAG)
Problem 2^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What should be done with the Dim statements from fortran.
they are commented out just above the line:

' Abstract **** a double precision routine ****
'
' DBINT4 computes the B representation (T,BCOEF,N,K) of a
' cubic spline (K=4) which interpolates data (X(I),Y(I)),
' I=1,NDATA. Parameters IBCL, IBCR, FBCL, FBCR allow the
' specification of the spline first or second derivative at
' both X(1) and X(NDATA). When this data is not specified
' by the problem, it is common practice to use a natural
' spline by setting second derivatives at X(1) and X(NDATA)
' to zero (IBCL=IBCR=2,FBCL=FBCR=0.0). The spline is defined
' on T(4) .LE. X .LE. T(N+1) with (ordered) interior knots at
' X(I) values where N=NDATA+2. The knots T(1),T(2),T(3) lie to
' the left of T(4)=X(1) and the knots T(N+2), T(N+3), T(N+4)
' lie to the right of T(N+1)=X(NDATA) in increasing order. If
' no extrapolation outside (X(1),X(NDATA)) is anticipated, the
' knots T(1)=T(2)=T(3)=T(4)=X(1) and T(N+2)=T(N+3)=T(N+4)=
' T(N+1)=X(NDATA) can be specified by KNTOPT=1. KNTOPT=2
' selects a knot placement for T(1), T(2), T(3) to make the
' first 7 knots symmetric about T(4)=X(1) and similarly for
' T(N+2), T(N+3), T(N+4) about T(N+1)=X(NDATA). KNTOPT=3
' allows the user to make his own selection, in increasing
' order, for T(1), T(2), T(3) to the left of X(1) and T(N+2),
' T(N+3), T(N+4) to the right of X(NDATA) in the work array
' W(1) through W(6). In any case, the interpolation on
' T(4) .LE. X .LE. T(N+1) by using function DBVALU is unique
' for given boundary conditions.
'
' DBINT4 calls DBSPVD, DBNFAC, DBNSLV, D1MACH, XERROR
'

Hi,
I am a C# guy, my knowledge of VB is limited, but I have had a long Fortran experience.
My code examples will be very limited and in C#, I trust you will understand them and know
the VB equivalent.
I will not give you ready answers to your two problems, but I will present the basic
facts you need to solve them.
I am not surprised by the problems you are having. Do you know Fortran at all ? Here are
some of its peculiarities:
- there is a "named COMMON" statement that allows to pass data to other parts
of the program; all COMMON statement with the same name map one on top of the other
(as if they get added to all parameter lists). Since they can use different names, types
and dimensions in different instances, dirty tricks can be implemented that are
quite the opposite of OO, and impossible to mimic in any CLR language.
Your code does not seem to have COMMON statements tho.
- array indexes are either 0-based or 1-based, you can somehow choose, I think the default
is 1-based. AFAIK all CLR languages have 0-based indexing. So be careful about it.
- there is no index checking on arrays, so you can declare an array with 100 elements,
fill them, then read beyond element 100 (and get whatever happens to be there).
- as a consequence you can pass an array A(100) to a subroutine that accepts it as B(1);
then read/write B(1) actually accesses A(1), and B(100) accesses A(100).
Conclusions:
- array index base may cause problems
- array passing must be revisited
- I doubt you can just adapt the syntax, get the compiler happy and expect the code to
be correct. I think that would we very naive and overly optimistic. I promise you will
spent a lot of time to figure out why the program throws all those exceptions, and later
on probably also why the results are just plain wrong.
I would suggest a different approach, actually I list three of them:
1. look for a .NET compatible Fortran compiler, buy and use it (IIRC I have seen one
a couple of months ago); this would not be my choice tho, unless there is quite a lot
of vested interest in Fortran code (a couple of subroutines would not convince me).
And even then you should somehow compare the original Fortran language used, and
the one implemented in the new compiler (the language did evolve quite a lot, much
more so than C or C++ did).
2. make sure you have a working Fortran environment (does not have to be .NET, does not
even have to be on a PC) so you can experiment with parts of
the original code, or some small pieces of new code; try to create VB code
to perform the same functionality in the same way as much as possible.
This means taking care of a lot of remarks like the ones I made earlier.
Without a real knowledge of Fortran AND the algorithms in the subroutines, I dont give
this a high success probability.
3. look at the original Fortran code from a distance, read up on the references, try
to really understand the algorithms and then reimplement them in VB, without worrying about
the line-by-line equivalence. That is, ignore the Fortran code (or use it as pseudo-code
intended to illustrate the algorithms that interest you), then implement them.
This is the approach I would recommend; it does not spent much effort in the Fortran side,
instead you would learn about the application domain, and in the end get a modern
implementation (e.g. without all these nasty GOTO statements and labels).
Summary: whatever way you choose, it will be much more work than you probably anticipated,
and I recommend a completely different approach.
Hope this helps.
