Can anyone know how to make a relational query in vb.net?
thanks!

You're going to have to explain a bit more than that. Which database are you using? Are you using LINQ? Relating a couple of DataTable objects? What?
|
|
|
|
|
We're using access database and we are not familiar with LINQ.
What we are planning is to use Access SQL. Like CREATE VIEW or like that.
Do you have any good idea or suggestion to solve our problem.
Thank you in advance. =)

Use the query designer in Access then either cut and paste the SQL code generated in your VB.NET program, or save the query in Access and perform your SELECT, INSERT DELETE command upon the Access Query.
Research the System.Data.Oledb namespace, in particular the OleDbConnection, OleDbCommand, OleDbDataReader and the OleDbDataAdaptor classes.Steve Jowett
-------------------------
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read.
|
|
|
|
|
And research the limitaions of SQL. Access does not support real stored procedures nor named parameters in parameterized queries.

It does not print the in the same way on how it looks in notepad. Any Ideas. You can get writeline code on the forum discussion title "writing to text file" Any ideas how to resolve issues.

Hi,
1.
Daniel Engelkes wrote: It does not print the in the same way on how it looks in notepad
is not a symptom we can work on. What does it do, and how is that different from what you want/expect?
2.
A do-loop containing printfile.ReadToEnd will iterate only once. Your first line goes to "menuitem", everything else goes to "DrawString", there isn't a second iteration.
3.
Most often, the correct way to print a number of lines is by having a loop, where each iteration prints one line of text, at a different location; so you need to have coordinates (x,y) which change as you iterate your loop.
4.
Very likely, I haven't checked that part of your code: in order to write a number of strings to a text file, there is no need to concatenate the text and write all in one go. One can:
- either use a FileStream and the WriteLine method;
- or fill a string array and use File.WriteAllLines().
|
|
|
|

I would load the file into a List or similar collection (coll) off String Array objects and then iterate through the collection, setting the x,y coordinates as appropriate:
'Read each line into an array and then put each array into a Generic.List(Of Array)
' Then do something like this in the PrintPage Event...
Dim l As Single = e.MarginBounds.Left ' Left margin
Dim y as Single = e.MarginBounds.Top ' Top margin
Dim h as Integer = 18 ' Row Height
Dim ws() As Single = {100, 50, 50, 50) ' Column widths
Dim sfs() As StringFormat = {StringFomat.Alignment.Far, StrngFormat.Alignment.Centre, _
StringFormat.Alignment.Near, StringFormat.Far}
Dim cuRow As Integer = 0
Dim linesReq As Integer = coll.Count - 1
Dim fnt as New Font("Courier New", 10, FontStype.Regular)
Dim pageline as Integer = 1
Dim linesPerPage as Integer = Math.Floor((e.MarginBounds.Bottom-y)/h)
For i as Integer = curRow to coll.Count -1
Do While (pageLine <= linesPerPage) And (curRow <= linesReq)
PrintText(e, coll.Item(curRow), l, y, ws, h, fnt, Brushes.Black, sfs())
y += h
pageLine += 1
curRow += 1
Loop
If (cuRow > linesReq)
Exit For
End If
Next i
...
Private Sub PrintText(ByVal e as PrintPageEventArgs, txtArray As Array, _
ByVal l as Single, ByVal y as Single, ByVal ws As Array, _
ByVal h As Single, ByVal fnt As Font, ByVal br as Brush, _
ByVal sfs As Array)
For i as Integer = 0 To txtArray.Count - 1
e.Graphics.DrawString(txtArray(i), l, y, ws(i), h, fnt, br, sfs(i))
l += ws(i)
Next
End Sub

How you read or write the file has nothing to do with how it prints.
Are you using the same font?
How are you handling the PrintDocument events for new Pages etc.?
Do you have the margins set up the same as notepad does?
The questions are endless.

when I write to the file this is the format

but when I print the document from the program it end up like this

it needs the same format. any ideas.

Ha, we finally got a symptom. Seems you want columnar results without using one DrawString for each cell. So you are relying on tabs (very difficult) or on spaces to get data formatted in columns. Unless you print individual cells, you need to choose a non-proportional or monospaced font, such as Courier New, and NOT a proportional font such as Arial. (If you choose Arial in Notepad, the data will look bad too!)

I am trying to figure out what the code is scrolling down one cell without actually having it name the cell. Below is the code right now but I dont want it to say a666, i just want it to go down 1 cell from what the end of the list is. Is there a way to do that.
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=12
Range("A666").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

|
|
|
|
Going down one cell from the active cell should look something like that (haven't done this for a while):

I need to make the file into columnar format. I tried using padleft and padright functions do not work.
by changing the for loop code to the following resolved issues

Dim tempwriteline As String
Dim writebuilder As New StringBuilder
tempwriteline = frmtodayscafe.filename(y)

The pad function DO work, but you will get screwy results if you use tabs. If you need "ascii" tabular data, lined up perfectly, use ONLY spaces and padded fields to align your data. Do not use any tab characters.

What..the...hell
Firstly: you've said that you've got a problem with loops...EXPLAIN. What's the problem you have?
Secondly: You've already made people less likely to help you if you are talking 1337 txtspk, K?
Lastly, I have no idea what the first two words of that last line are meant to be. I might be offended, I might be honoured, I have no clue because it's incomprehensible.
