The problem is Red color there. when add record into table. I want have same LoadingNo but different RecNo. But I'm using this only can add record until 2 only. Expert please help me!!

private string CalculateNewRecordNumber(string record)
        {

            {

Could you explain what CalculateNewRecordNumber is supposed to do.

I think it can be done more efficiently.


Why are you doing this?

textBox2.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(strFormat);

textBox2.Text = record;

This statement doesn't look right

string strChechID1 = "select LoadingNo from LoadItems where LoadingNo=LoadingNo";

Ok this is Where you say the problem is.

int RecNo = 1;

if (dtrCheckID1.HasRows)
{

	RecNo += 1;



	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LoadingNo", textBox2.Text);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecNo", RecNo);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@PONo", PONO);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Cust", Customer);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Item", Item);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Model", Model);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Material", FGrade);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Thk", Thk);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Width", Width);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Length", Length);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Qty", Qty);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Remark", Remark);


	comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
	lblMessage.Text = ("Successful Insert!!!");
	con.Close();

	timer1.Enabled = true;
}


else
{
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LoadingNo", textBox2.Text);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecNo", RecNo);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@PONo", PONO);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Cust", Customer);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Item", Item);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Model", Model);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Material", FGrade);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Thk", Thk);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Width", Width);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Length", Length);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Qty", Qty);
	comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Remark", Remark);


	comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
	lblMessage.Text = ("Successful Insert!!!");
	con.Close();

}

All I see is one statement has RecNo += 1; and the other doesn't.

Could you please clarify what exactly you want, also coding your code would immensely help.

Peace.

Peace.

textBox2.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(strFormat);
 
textBox2.Text = record;

this code is want convert it back to datetime format. if no do this, it will display month without 0 in front eg. 5 -> 05

string strChechID1 = "select LoadingNo from LoadItems where LoadingNo=LoadingNo";

this code is I want to detect they have same LoadingNo. If they have same LoadingNo. The RecNo will increase 1 and so on.

Actually LoadingNo and RecNo is use to Unique record. Both r primary key. When I select a few rows of records from datagridview into database table. Therefore, these record will have same LoadingNo but different Recno.The LoadingNo Format is yy/MM/4 digit number. eg,11/05/0001 , 11/06/0002, 12/05/0003. RecNo format is digit only start from 1. eg 1 , 2, 3,......

So when I insert a few records, they will auto generate LoadingNo and RecNo

CalculateNewRecordNumber
You still didn't clarify what this is?

Try this for the textBox

textBox2.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy", DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);

I still don't understand what you are doing here.

string strChechID1 = "select LoadingNo from LoadItems where LoadingNo=LoadingNo";

Please provide the Create Table statement for this table and provide a sample Input/Output.

-------
EDIT
-------

Ok I understand what loadingNo is now, But then what is the point of RecNo.

i.e. if LoadingNo is 12/05/0003 is the third Invoice or Loading that happened that day. When what is Rec?

Won't Rec be 3 as well?

You still didn't clarify what this is?

Try this for the textBox

textBox2.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy", DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);

I still don't understand what you are doing here.

string strChechID1 = "select LoadingNo from LoadItems where LoadingNo=LoadingNo";

Please provide the Create Table statement for this table and provide a sample Input/Output.

EDIT

Ok I understand what loadingNo is now, But then what is the point of RecNo.

i.e. if LoadingNo is 12/05/0003 is the third Invoice or Loading that happened that day. When what is Rec?

Won't Rec be 3 as well?

------------------------

Peace

CalculateNewRecordNumber is use to set format of LoadingNo. So it format is setting is ok.

string strChechID1 = "select LoadingNo from LoadItems where LoadingNo=LoadingNo";

This code is identify Duplicate LoadingNo. I don't know this is right or wrong. I think is when user add record to database. It will add 1 record 1st, after that read next record, if record duplicate, RecNo will +1 and add record to system. Let say, I add five rows records at 1 time. so these five record have same LoadingNo but Different RecNo. This 2 number is use to different each record. Because same month same year can have same record.

sample data and database structure with attach pic

One thing, I would strongly suggest you to use only one column for the record number.
You have to combine Loading number and Record number. This way you will have a lot less problems.
It sure is possible to create a working code for this kind of dataBase structure you have now, but I repeat my self, if there is no condition to have borh columns, remove one, and have only one.
Anfd there is still one thing missing in the Loading number: a year value. What if the year changes to the next one? You will get duplicates for sure.

Your record number shoud look like "dd/MM/yyyy/record number (4 digits)
So you will run records by date and the record number:
4/5/2011/0001
4/5/2011/0002
4/5/2011/0003
5/5/2011/0001
and so on!!

Isnt this a better, any most important, way simplier idea?

If you answered with yes, you can take a look into my code example, which does this work:

best regards,

Actually I'm make a system in C# but this system want link to old system(vb). So that I'm just add the data into old system database. I'm found that have RecNo. So I'm not choice, must be follow old system database. because some other system also follow this. Because this part of system is use to arrange Lorry can take how many thing.

Do u have any looping method to let RecNo increase when detect Same LoadingNo?

Try this

// Getting Max RecordNo
string maxRec = getMaxRec("12/05/0003");

which will be followed by

//WHERE LNo is your current Loading Number.
private static string getMaxRec(string LNo)
{
    string MaxRec;
    try
    {                                                           
         MaxRec =  new OleDbCommand("Select Max(RecNo) + 1 From LoadItems where LoadingNo="+LNo, con).ExecuteScaler();
    }
    catch { MaxRec = 1; }

    return MaxRec;
}

The try catch is for the very first entry.

When it tries to fetch the MaxRecNo for the very first entry of the day where RecNo should be 1 it will get nothing and throw an exception where you catch it and set it to 1.

I didn't try the solution so there maybe some punctuation I may have missed please check it.

This code also Assumes you have LNo already set for the day.

I still don't completely understand your code, but I understand the concept.

I assume you are trying to say that one LoadingNo (LNo) has many RecNo. So RecNo is really the count of different Pallets or Items that go into the Lorry but why not keep it the Product/Serial No of the Pallet/Item?

It may be a better idea for you to go with Mitja Bonca advice as it will be a lot simpler to work with in the future.

Peace.

Anyway, you can still use code i gave you, just a bit modified.

Tell me something, how do you know when you need a new Record number, because of this depends what to look 1st.

When user click Insert button to add new Record number. I think I can use datagridview row number as RecNo

Try this

string maxRec = getMaxRec("12/05/0003");

which will be followed by

//WHERE LNo is your current Loading Number.
private static string getMaxRec(string LNo)
{

    try
    {                                                           
         MaxRec =  new OleDbCommand("Select Max(RecNo) + 1 From LoadItems where LoadingNo="+LNo, con).ExecuteScaler();
    }
