It's hard to work out hwat you're asking here. Do you want to show one record per page ? Do you want to create a grid without using the control ( and if so, why ) ?
Once you've called your data source, be it access or whatever, you can display your data any way you want. What is it you're looking for here ?

I am want to update one record at a time. I am looking to do a very simple and small maintenance program for contacts.
Thanks!

OK - so you add controls to show the data for the contact, whatever that is, and a button that calls SQL to update that contact with whatever the user types in.

Here is the issue that I am having:
When I fill out the form and leave some of the fields blank I get an SQL Error message that states this: No value given for one or more required parameters.
Here is the code block that does the update:
conProspect.Open();
OleDbCommand cmd = conProspect.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "Update Contacts set Last_Name=" + "'" + txtLastName.Text + "'" + ", " + "First_Name=" + "'" + txtFirstName.Text + "'" + ", " + "Company_Name=" + "'" + txtCompany.Text + "'" + ", " + "Job_Title='" + txtJobTitle.Text + "'" + ", " + "Business_Phone='" + txtBusPhone.Text + "'" + " Where Contact_ID =" + lngContactId;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conProspect.Close();
Thanks for the help

you need to read up on SQL injection attacks, unless you trust everyone who will use this code.

Why put this seperately ?
You should take the string you generate, copy it into Access and run it from there, or at least look at it to see why it's wrong. Stuff like Company_Name = '' shouldn't cause an error unless the DB does not allow the strings to be empty.

This was one sample I found on the net. I am new to c# so I am looking for a good example to work off of.
If you know of one please add to post.
Thanks!

OK - how much of this code do you understand ? Copying examples from the web is not a good way to learn, you should work through a book first, then look for examples, but also look to fully understand any code you use.
There's a good article on SQL injection on code project, just search for it.
So, when you say you found an example, does this code match with your database schema at all ?

I understand all the code just fine. I found the issue with one of my data base fields. What is the best practice for updating my table? This application will run on user desktop and it is not web based?
|
|

|

Well, best practice is to use a parameterised query or a stored proc. I suggest searching for hte article on SQL injection and reading it.

I'm unable to open up the "Field Explorer" of Crystal Report for setting up the parameters.......... It's not separate, its integrated into VS.NET 2003............i know its kinda silly question, but i'm kinda messed up with that............so pls help with steps to bring it back...........

Hi All,
I have a windows form program, which runs and compiles fine.
but along with the form window, there is a console window (black "command prompt" screen)
that also launches, none of my other window program have this behavior.
where can I stop the black window from launching?
I looked at all the code and can't find it, so I'm assuming is some settings that I need to turn off.
again, thank you all for all the help you have provided to this newbie.

Your project thinks it is a console application.
Go to the project's properties and check that the "Output type:" setting is set to "Windows Application" and the "Startup object:" is set to your main WinForm's class.

I have a panel of (800 by 600) when i do a print preview I can see the complete panel but when i do the print it cuts the right side veritcal line. During the preview my panel right side border line still away from the margin line. Any idea please
|

|

Hi,
most printers can't print up to the edges of the page; the printer driver knows the
minimal margins, you can try to cross them through the page setup dialog, and IIRC you
can read the settings in PrintPageEventArgs (one of the DoPrintPage arguments) and should
take them into account.

Hello Everyone...i'm creating a code that will scan LDAP and Active Directory for a fax number given to users and then it will compare both servers and will generate a text file with the discrepancies on both servers(only the numbers that don't match). The program seems to work but for some reason in the output i get a couple of users who have the same fax number in both servers. i wonder if i created the foreach loops correctly...can someone please guide me?????

 You'll get a better response if you use <pre></pre> tags around your code.
FYI: LDAP is a protocol and it is also used by AD

There's an option in Crystal Report like "To set up record selection using Select Expert"........but I notice that I would be able to only hard-code the values that are already existing in the database field.........rather I'm looking for something where I can get the value selected directly from the combobox..........am I clear with those lines.........I need help on this............TIA

you can use a parameter field, and set it at runtime, you could use a forumla field and change the formula text at runtime to return your value, or you could find a new product to use, i'm traped in the same place you are, trying to make CR dynamic...i've managed to an extent thanks to several online examples and "Crystal Reports .NET Programming" by Brian Bischof(not sure about the first name) but a lot of the features that made it so great for programmers have been removed in later versions the version for vs 6 you could almost build a whole report at runtime, and in 2008 you have to struggle to change anything at runtime, espically with any kind of chart. If you find a good alternative to CR please let me know.

Hello!
I have a question about retrieveing a toolstripmenuitem from a contextmenustrip.
In a certain function I do the following:
contextmenustrip.Show();
After that I would like the function to be halted until one of the toolstripmenuitems is clicked and this item is the returned into the funtion.
So I don't want to use an event but rather something like one can do with forms:
if (this.TestForm.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
Is something similar possible with contextmenustrips?
