hi!

im creating a sort of login logout software for a school project.
my prof told us to use a barcode reader and write the code in VB.net

this is what i have so far...

ive created a panel where the personal info of the user will be displayed and a separate panel to show the existing accounts that have been logged in..
the accounts that have been logged in is stored in a MYSQL database and shown using listview and stored in a DATASET

my problem is that i dont know how to insert the new data that had been scanned into the dataset... pls help

the new row generally returns a row of the same schema.
And after you make your changes use the addrow to add the newly created row to the dataset.

If you want to update an existing row, iterate through your dataset and update the necessary fields.
and the dataset.update method generally does the magic.
but since you are using mysql, you would have written your own update statements.

cheers.
