I have a function to display a popup in a form:

taskbarNotifier1.Show("HostName: \n\n SiteHit: \n\n Survey: \n\n TAF: \n\n ATO: ", strQuery, 300, 2000, 300);

Now these hostname,survey,taf,ato i have to get from database :

strQuery = "select url,sitehit,survey,tellafriend,addtooutlook from tblsummary where datetime = now";
i.e. the last/current entry of database and store all these data in string 'strQuery' and call this variable 'strQuery' in above function taskbarNotifier1.Show in different lines ie one after other like this :
|------------------------------------
| Hostname : nekshan@yahoo.com |
|
| Sitehit : 1
|
| Survey : 0
|
| tellafriend : 1
|_______________________________|

These in bold are data to be displayed by the query.
How to get all this data in one variable to put it in my function n display data in this format.
Can i get many fields from a record of a table and store it in a variable or i have to use some other way.

Hope to get some response.

Hi,

1. For concatenating Strings, use StringBuilder. Append data in a
StringBuilder variable.

2. For retrieve data from the database.
a.Connect to database
b.Fill data in Dataset using SQL Adapter or ExecuteDataSet.
c.Save this result in a Dataset variable. (Assume variable as 'ds')

3. To get value of each column --->
ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["url"].ToString() and so on for other columns..

4. Append those values in a StringBuilder variable.

5. Use that variable in this line
(Note : Replace strQuery -> StringBuilder variable)

taskbarNotifier1.Show("HostName: \n\n SiteHit: \n\n Survey: \n\n TAF: \n\n ATO: ", SB, 300, 2000, 300);

Hope this is what you wanted.

hi!!
Function can only return one value so if u want all three then u have to concat all in one variable like
str = str1 + "#" + str2 + "#" + str3 then return str from function
now on form u've to seperate all 3 from str by using mid(str,"#",1) like dis not exactly dis function is.
u have to seperate like this all in different variable then use it.

U r talking abt this answer?
Y do i separate it using 'mid(str,"#",1)' on form? -- bcoz i have to display it one by one in a line?
