After reading the tutorial from http://www.startvbdotnet.com/ado/msaccess.aspx I wrote this code in an attempt to get information from my MDB file called FillMe. The only table in that Access file is called MainTable;
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form2
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim cn As OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
Dim dr As OleDbDataReader
'WINDOWS GENERATED
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet11)
End Sub
Private Sub exitbutton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles exitbutton.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
cn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Desktop\FillMe.mdb;")
'provider to be used when working with access database
cn.Open()
cmd = New OleDbCommand("select * from MainTable", cn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
While dr.Read()
TextBox1.Text = dr(0)
TextBox2.Text = dr(1)
TextBox3.Text = dr(2)
'loading data into TextBoxes by column index
End While
Catch
End Try
dr.Close()
cn.Close()
End Sub
End Class
Is filling the data set when the form loads neccisary? How would I link the Data adapters and data sets I created to this form?
