Hot discussion!
I have another topic: what's the difference between "==" and method "Equal". are they same?
It is quite confusing! In jave language, "two object Equal" means the refs pointing to the same memory address. But in C#, I find it is different. You can use if( stringA == "aa" ) instead of if( stringA.Equal("aa" ); Any ideas?

* Operator equality in C# compares refs pointing while Equals compares values equality.
BUT:
* For strings Operator equality in C# performs value type equality meaning it actually compares the values in the addresses. (Partially it's due the fact that strings are immutable in C# and usually we want actually to compare the values and not the addresses of the instances). In C# Operator equality makes internal call to string.Equals (thus results in slightly poorer performance).

Hi,
u can do in this way.
string sql = "select * from tabel1 where column1 = '" + txtCol1.Text.Trim() + "'";
Now result is something say a string result.
You create the object of Form2 and assign the value to textbox on it.
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.txtResult.Text = result;
frm.Show();

hi
sorry, im afraid i don get you.
do you mind having a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbwlkwalkthroughdisplayingdatainwindowsformusingparameterizedquery.asp
i did something like that and it worked. but i do not want the data to be displayed in the same form as the textbox and button.
what should i do to allow user to type and send query in form1 and for data to show in another form (form2)?
please explain as simply as you can because im just a beginner. i appreciate your effort and reply. thank you! =)

Ok, just tell me what do u get as a result after executing the query?
a dataset, a single value or what?

do you mean what do i want to achieve for my app or what did i get by following the steps in the url?
if u meant what i want to achieve, i want to let user type any ID no. in textbox1 as a criteria for their search (my access db will then get only the data belonging to THAT ID no. only). they'll press GO (button1) which sends query to db. and the data is to be shown in textbox controls placed in a 2nd form, which is a different form from where i placed textbox and button.
if u meant what i got from the steps i followed in that url, i managed to get the specified data that i want from db but the data is displayed in textboxes in the same form as textbox1 and button1.
thanks!

So,
After pressing the button on form1, a query is fired on databse and u get something in back.
Your code may be looking like this.
private void button_click(object sender, EventArgs arg)
{
string sql = "SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE id = '" + txtId.Text + "'";
// Execute the query and you get some data. say u get a string.
// You can just do like this. Add a new form to your project.
// Put a text box control on it and make it public.
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.Textbox2.Text = resultStringFromFirstForm;
this.Hide();
frm.Show();
}
Hope this may help.

while i try out what u said,
this is what i did when i followed the steps in url.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
oleDbDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters["ContactID"].Value = textBox1.Text;
dataSet21.Clear();
oleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(dataSet21);
}
looks quite different from what u gave me..
i'll try yours out now..
=)

Ok, here I'm clear now. U do not need to change the code which u r using.
U r getting dataset from database.
Now u can follow steps what i send before.
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.txtData.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][""].ToString();
this.Hide();
frm.Show();

hope to solve this problem today.
thanks for your time and effort, friend. =)
unfortunately, the codes didnt work.
i did this in form1>
oleDbDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters["ContactID"].Value = textBox1.Text;
dataSet11.Clear();
oleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(dataSet11);
dono.Form2 frm = new dono.Form2();
frm.textBox1.Text = dataSet11.Tables[0].Rows[0][""].ToString(); >>i think something's wrong here.. but i donno what is it..
this.Hide();
frm.Show();
just to tell u i used databinding to all my textboxes in form2.
|
|
|
|
|
Hey, u r missing column index or columnname.
dataSet11.Tables[0].Rows[0]["ColumnName"].ToString();
Rest is ok.
If it throws error please let me know the error.
Sorry for missing the column index parameter.

sorry,
i guess my information/description of problem is not clear so u are still not 100% clear about what im doing, is that so?
i know u are more expert than me, while im just a beginner. but somehow, i suppose the above solution still will not solve my problem.
would u mind if i send u some sample codes and run my codes to see what im actually doing? i've trouble explaining to u clearly as im not sure of those terms/acronyms.
|
|
|
|
|
i emailed u. not sure if u will be looking at my email. if u are, i've an access db attached to the email. please open table named Patient.
feel free to ask me if you are unsure about anything.
thank you really much!

hi
im sure glad u replied. sorry for the late reply. just got home.
anyway, i just had a look at the code snippet.
over here i think im not sure:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.textBox1.Text = "I got the value"; << the textBox1 is in my form2 so i get errors something like this --> textbox1 not found in this form (form1) and cant get access to textbox1 in form2.
this.Hide();
frm.Show();
thanks friend once again! =)

Hi,
Ok, I thought u were waiting for my answer. It seems that Form2 does not contain txtBox1. What u need to do is create a simple textbox in Form2 and make it public. If u do not make it public it will not work.
There is another solution. Define a public property which will set the valus of text box.
Something like this..
in Form2:
private string setValue = string.Empty;
public string SetMyValue
{
set
{
this.txtBox1.Text = value;
}
}
in Form1's button click:
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.SetMyValue = "I got the value";
this.Hide();
frm.Show();

Very bad idea to form SQL statements by concatenating strings. It's a huge security vulnerabilty. See this article[^]. It explains parameterized queries, that avoid this and other problems.

Ya, I know. It is not a secure way if used on WEB. but for winform application, i dont think it is a big issue.
In general it is bad practice i agr:-Dee.

This is the attitude that creates insecure software. The only reason to dynamically create sql statements is if your rdbms doesn't support stored procs, but even then there are ways to mitigate security vulnerabilities.

|

The person is working on ACCESS. And anyway I'm not in support of Dynamic query. I strictly use SP's and encryptions while bulding dynamic query. I think it should end this discussion now.

Just type something with a ' in there and you code will blow up. If you have a text box where I enter a date, and I change the culture of the operating system, you'll get erroneous date.
It's really easy to have parameterized queries, and even access has them. Compare this:
string sql = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = '" + txtUserName.Text "' AND Password = '" + txtPassword.Text + "'";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(cmd, conn); to this:
string sql = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = ? AND Password = ?";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(cmd, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("", txtUserName.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("", txtPassword.Text); Easier to read in my opinion, way much more secure and robust, and easier to maintain.
