Refresh datalist contents

I want to use a connection to an existing MS Access database, but I want
to be able to change which table is used to fill the datalist, using
VB6, at run time by late binding the datalist to the table. Using
either an ADO connection or an ADODC control, I can fill the datalist OK
the first time, but when I try to clear it and fill it from another
table, the contents of the datalist do not change. I must be doing
something really dumb here, but I can't figure it out. Any help would
be appreciated.

TIA,

Martin

There are some people here who use (or used to use) VB, in addition to
Access, but it's primarily devoted to the Access product, not to all users
of Jet databases. This question would definitely have a better chance of
getting a good answer if asked in a Visual Basic newsgroup... USENET
newsgroups comp.lang.basic .visual.misc and comp.lang.basic .visual.databas e
are two; there are other sponsored newsgroups at news.microsoft. com (a free
news server).

I'm even having some difficulty remembering what a "datalist" is -- do you
mean a List Box Control?

Larry -

Thanks for the quick response. No, the datalist is a separate control,
in MSDATLST.OCX. I will try the other groups.

What's the best way to refresh a usercontrol using a parameter? My usercontrol is just a DataList that retrieves data from SQL in association with a public propterty. I click on a LinkButton in my main page (ASPX), but it still refreshes the entire page... I only want the UserControl to blink and come back with new data. What's the direction I should be looking at? Even if I do it via JavaScript, how would I refresh the UserControl...

Hi - I've got a couple of pages where a DataList is populated only if(!Postback). I have buttons in the datagrid that allow for the 'deletion' of items from that DataList. The problem is that the deleted items don't disappear on Postback, but only after a page refresh. I assume this is because the DataList is not redatabound unless !Postback. However, if I remove the if(!Postback) statement, the button's 'delete' method doesn't seem...

Ahoy, I have an aspx web page that loads an ascx control that's populated with various items ( in a datalist ). Select an item and the page reloads and the datalist now shows the details. >From here I want to put a print option in, a button that will either immediately print the contents of the datalist or maybe pop-up something with just the currently viewed datalist contents in it ( leaving the user to print from the browser ).

I have a DataList on my page which contains multiple DropDownLists. My page defaults to showing six rows in the DataList. I want the ability to dynamically add rows if needed.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
