One SQL to poulate mulitple textboxes

[TheNewBoy]

Hi All.

I am new to this forum... Don't know how to start but here it goes....


I am writing in VB.net a program with one form, yet mulitple textboxes.

the data appears in each text box as A1, A2, A3, A4, A5

The database CANDYSHOP has a table CANDYSHOP with each column as

ChocolateID Chocolate SweetID Sweet DrinksID Drinks
A1 snikers B1 jelly babies C1 pepsi
A2 mars B2 wine gums C2 sprite
A3 milkyway B3 polo C3 fanta etc.....

there are no more than 20 rows


My code is

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
        Dim CandyShopPath = Application.StartupPath & "\SWEETSLIST.mdb"
        Dim SweetListSearch = ""
        Dim ConnectCandyShopDataBase As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source =" & CandyShopPath
        Dim CandyShopCommand As OleDb.OleDbCommand
        Dim CandyShopDataReader As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
 
        Dim SWEETSQL = "SELECT Chocolate FROM CANDYSHOP WHERE ChocolateID = '" & ChocolateTextBox.Text '& "'AND SweetID =' " & SweetTextBox.Text & "'AND DrinksID='" & DrinksTextBox.Text & "'"
 
        ConnectCandyShopDataBase.Open()                       'Open a database connection
        CandyShopCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(SWEETSQL, ConnectCandyShopDataBase)
 
       *** CandyShopDataReader = CandyShopCommand.ExecuteReader 
 
        If CandyShopDataReader.Read = True Then          'load information to relevant textboxes
            ChocolateTextBox.Text = SWEETSQL
            SweetTextBox.Text = SWEETSQL
            CrispsTextBox.Text = SWEETSQL
            DrinksTextBox.Text = SWEETSQL
 
        Else
            ChocolateTextBox.Text = "Error - Does Not Match code in Database"
            SweetTextBox.Text = "Error - Does Not Match code in Database"
            CrispsTextBox.Text = "Error - Does Not Match code in Database"
            DrinksTextBox.Text = "Error - Does Not Match code in Database"
 
    End If
 
        CandyShopDataReader.Close()                     'close DataReader
        ConnectCandyShopDataBase.Close()                      'close Database Connection
 
       End Sub
 
End Class
 

Q. How would i display the corrseponding data in each textbox.
ChocloateTextBo x is poulates with the value of A1, which in the databse is Snickers.
Currently it displays A1, not Snickers.

What steps do i need to take or what code is required to poulate the textbox with the product not the ID.

i think i need DataAdapter, but unsure?



Any help, answers, examples or tips would be much useful.

Many Thanks

Hi, and welcome to Bytes!

This question seems to be much more about VB.Net than SQL.
I'm not even sure the database you are using is MySQL.

So, I am going to move this over to the .Net forum. I'm sure the experts there can help you more than we here at the MySQL forum.

Also, please use [code] tags when posting code examples.

Thank you.
