Dear All,
I have already created an Access application, which I now wish to port to a
VB platform. My question is: Is Visual Basic the right vehicle to perform
this function (I normally use VC++)? If so, is there a link somewhere which
fully explains the methodology involved in connecting to a database using VB
(latest version).
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg,
There's a website with examples of all kinds of vb connections: http://www.able-consulting.com/ado_conn.htm
But note that you are here at the wrong ng - this is a vb .net ng.

Hi Greg,
Either microsoft.publi c.vb.database or microsoft.publi c.vb.database.a do.

Hello group,
I have several servers hosting SQL databases. On each of them, I have
several databases. All those databases have the same structure (even those
on different servers), only the data changes.
I made a winforms application that allows me to manage those databases
easily, and used several SqlDataAdapter to achieve this, all of them filling
the same Dataset which has relations, and this Dataset being the DataSource

Hi all,
I have a few questions that I have been wanting to ask for long. These are

1) If I have opened a connection to a database through Connection.open()
method, and I do not use Connection.close() method, will garbage collector
collect the connection object just because i am not using it any more.
2) I am using a dataset, in which i make some modifications to the...

It doesn't happen each time, the exception is thrown

We're getting an occasional occurrence of the following error when two users
try and open the same record in our ASP.NET app:

As suggested, I was closing the connection in the Finally part of the outer

In my Finally block, I was using cn.close (where cn is an ADO.NET
connection object, SQLConnection to be exact) and then I came across the
following in some microsoft code.
If Not cn Is Nothing Then
CType(cn, IDisposable).Dispose()
End If
I have to admit, I'm not sure what happens here. Will someone explain this
line of code (the middle one, not the if statement LOL) to me please?

I'm working with C# .NET 2.0, implementing Client/Server Applications which
are connecting via Network to SQL-Server or Oracle Databases.
To stay independent from the underlaying Database I use

How can I keep aware from connection losses (network not availeable,

Are there any strategies to detect this broken connections, and how can I

I am using VS2003 and connecting to MS Access database.
When using a connection pooling (every time I open the OLEDBCONNECTION I use
the exact matching connection string),
1. how can I know how many connection has been used ?
2. If the maximum pool size has been reached, what happens when I call the
method Open to open the connection ? Will I get an error ? MSDN says the

In VBA/VB6, I had a class (incomplete sample below) that watched and

I wanted to replicate this for VB.NET, but the SqlConnection object

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
