Hi, I want to display the data from Ms access database (ex: Northwind.mdb) to a DataGrid control in VB.Net by using the code only. I don't want to bind the datagrid to any data control. Is it possible to do that? If it is possible can any one give me some sample code to work with it? Now I learn how to bind the data grid with Data Adapter configuration wizard, but i think it is not flexible like the code.

This should get you on the right track. Personally I like using the wizards but I use my own commands with the adapters and datasets that the wizard creates. This code works but don't like how it displays data in the datagrid. Maybe you can work it out. Enjoy
Dim oCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
Dim oDA As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(oCmd)
Dim oDS As New DataSet()
Dim strCommand As String
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Northwind.mdb;Mode=ReadWrite; Persist Security Info=False")
strCommand = "SELECT * FROM <table name>"
Try
oConn.Open()
With oCmd
.CommandType = CommandType.Text
.Connection = oConn
.CommandText = strCommand
End With
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Failed to connect to data source")
Finally
oConn.Close()
End Try
oDS.Clear()
oDA.Fill(oDS)
DataGrid1.DataSource = oDSLet me know if you can't get this to work. Remember to use your own connection path and in the command string use the table name you are selecting from.

Dear Britnt7, Thank you very much for your sample code. Now it is working and I will learn to customize it as much as I can. But I have one more question. I put your give that give to me on the form load, and the data fill in the datagrid as I want but the grid is not display until I click on the plug sign (+) then it display the data as I want. Do you know how to ignore this plus sign? I mean when the form load with your code I can see the data display directly in the datagrid without click the plus sign to see the data in the grid. Thank you very much for your help!!!  ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Dear Britnt7, I have one more question. In VB6 when I transfer the data from database to list view control, I have an opportunity to give the name of the column header to a difference name from the field of the table in database but I can use do while ... loop to put the data one by one in the list view. But the datagrid in VB.net seem that have no opportunity to code to change the name of the column, is it true? The reason is the database that I design is written in my own language. The field of the table written in English while the record is written in my own language. So when I display on the grid it display in english only so the column header could read in english but the record could not read. But when I change the font to my language the record could read (know the meaning) but the column header could not read. Any possible solution?

Hello,I have the following project and I have tried and tried but can't seem to get it. Can anyone help?
I have to write a program to campare the secant method with newton's method for finding the roots of each function:
x^3 - 3x + 1 with starting point Xo=2
x^3 - 2 sin x with starting point Xo=.5
The instructions also state to use the X1 value from Newton's method as the second starting point for the secant method and to print out each iteration for both methods. I appreciate any help.

Why not ? i.e. what doesn't it do ? Have you traced through to see what is going into your SQL ? Run your SQL in query analyser to make sure it should return the values you expect ? etc.

hi christ
although, data displays in a listbox, when i select items in the listbox, it doesn't display in the textboxes.
i've ran my sql in query analyser, the results show out correctly.
could you help me to solve out please?

You say it's a web application - when you click on an item in the listbox, does it postback ? Have you put breakpoints in to verify that your code is being called ?

I'd prefer if you answered my question - does the page postback ? Does your event handler get called ?

no, it doesnt, when i click on an item in the listbox, it doesnot postback anything to the textboxes,
Does your event handler get called ? yeah, it does

Postback is what we ASP.NET developers call it when the page posts back to the server. If your event is being called, postback is occuring.
You obviously haven't stepped through the code. Your code looks like this:
Private Sub lstmilestone_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstmilestone.SelectedIndexChanged<br />
activateform()<br />
End Sub
Now, why would this event handler do a jolly thing, when there's no code in it ? The code in activate form needs to be moved into the event handler.

i've moved the code in "activateform" into "lstmilestone_SelectedIndexChanged" but unfortunately, it doesnot work as i planed
Christ, i appreciate for what you've help me honestly.

I need more info than 'it doesn't work as I planned'. Have you stepped through the code ? Have you checked what the SQL you're generating looks like ? Is the SQL OK ? What result are you getting ?

i have steped through the code, i've used 'step into' but it's jumped to Exception in the event handler 'lstmilestone_SelectedIndexChanged'
my SQL is ok, it shows out staffID, lastname, firstnam, email ... etc
i've already tried to find the problems for a week. it's really stressful

Where in the event handler, exactly ?
Fired Dragon wrote:

I'm talking about the SQL that's generated by the event handler. Have you checked that ? Does it get that far ?
slect = lstmilestone.SelectedItem.Value
for starters you should check if SelectedItem is null before attempting this.

my sql doesnt get any problems here, Christ. and i've watched variable 'slect', it has had value inside,

What is the error message you are getting ?
Have you checked the state of the reader ( that is, is it set up with a valid connection, etc. )

Hi,
I've got a windows service that connect to a database. all is working except when I restart the computer 'cause my service start before SQL Server.
So my question is : how can I do to make my service dependent of MS-SQL ?
I want it to run only when MS-SQL is running.
Thx
Sybux

If your service is going to be deployed to another server WITHOUT an SQL server, it's best if your service is not dependent on the start of the SQL server. Rather, it should just throw appropriate exceptions back to the caller when appropriate. Just because the SQL server is running doesn't mean that the database will be available.
