Data doesn't retrieve!!!

Question

Ashveen96 0 Newbie Poster

10 Years Ago

Hey!
I'm trying to connect my backend (Ms Access) to the front end (VB.NET 2010). I'm trying to retrieve data and I get these errors.
I have two problems:
1. For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1

when typed the above code in the load form I get the letter i underlined.

this is the error - Warning 1 The type for variable 'i' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'i', or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.i' or 'MyBase.i').

When I debugged/run the code, the code doesn't work and I get this error
This code is higlighted --------
Private Sub btnNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNext.Click
TextBox1.Text = dt.Rows(i)(0)
End Sub

Error name - IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
There is no row at position 0.

Can someone please help me!
Thank You!

Try initializing the variable 'i' first before using it.

Ashveen96 commented: I already have initialized it as Dim i as Integer. but still i get the same error. +0

Change lines 40-42

from:

i += 1
TextBox1.Text = dt.Rows(i)(0)
TextBox2.Text = dt.Rows(i)(1)

to:

'last index is dt.Rows.Count - 1
'only increment if doing so
'would not exceed the index
If i < dt.Rows.Count - 2 Then
    i += 1
Else
    'set to the last row
    i = dt.Rows.Count - 1
End If

If dt IsNot Nothing Then
   TextBox1.Text = dt.Rows(i)(0)
   TextBox2.Text = dt.Rows(i)(1)
End If

Your codes are too some correct. but you did some mistakes to initialize the variable "i" and should be open the connection.

In DataGridView1_CellMouseClick event you did not do that.

 i = e.RowIndex
        TextBox1.Text = dt.Rows(i)(0)
        TextBox2.Text = dt.Rows(i)(1)

and also in form_Load event you did not do

 con.Open()
        adapter.Fill(dt)
        DataGridView1.DataSource = dt
        'DirectCast(DataGridView1.Columns("Image"), DataGridViewImageColumn).ImageLayout = DataGridViewImageCellLayout.Stretch
        For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
            Dim row As DataGridViewRow = DataGridView1.Rows(i)
            'row.Height = 60
        Next
        i = 0

Here I do some modifications in your code. Please change the database name in Connection String, Table Name and also Fields in SQL Statement.
I also inactivates of some code lines. Please do that as per your requirment. mainly for pictures.

I tried everything you all said but I still get the same error.

You need to target the table inside the datatable:
If i < dt.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1 Then

Ashveen96 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 3 · 2014-10-13T05:58:20+00:00

I tired everything above and still I get the same error, the variable i is still underlined and the when I debug the program, the data doesn't retrieve.
This is the a snapshot of my database (table).

Ohoooo! I forgot to tell you that don't open connection in DataGridView1_CellMouseClick event. At the load event Connection is already open and adapter, Data Tabel already filled. So, why are you trying to open a opened Connection. This is your main Error. Remove the following lines from DataGridView1_CellMouseClick event.

**********************REMOVE THESE LINES**********************
con.Open()
            Dim sql = "SELECT Image FROM Birthday_Cake where CakeID='" & DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value & "'"
            adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
            Dim d As New DataTable
            adapter.Fill(d)
*****************************************************************

You Want to Show the Pictures. You already loaded the pictures into the DataGridView Object, Pick it and show it. You have no need to open table to do it. If you try to collect the picture from the Table look to the following.

    Private Sub DataGridView1_CellMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellMouseClick
    i = e.RowIndex
    TextBox1.Text = dt.Rows(i)(0)
    TextBox2.Text = dt.Rows(i)(1)


    Dim sql = "SELECT Image FROM Birthday_Cake where CakeID='" & DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value & "'"
    adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
    Dim d As New DataTable
    adapter.Fill(d)

    'Write your codes to show pictures
    'DataTable Row and Column Address both would be 0
    'i.e. d.Rows(0)(0)


    d.Clear()
    d.Dispose()

End Sub

Connection is already open. Close it at FormClosing Event.

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosed(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosed
        Me.Dispose()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        con.Close()
        con.Dispose()
    End Sub

Hope you should get the success.

I tried removed that code and debugged the program but still I get the same error.
Can you please send me a sample code to retrieve data from the database to the form. My form contains a picture box and 7 textboxes that needed to be filled and some navigation buttons.
Thank You!!

This is a fully working code.
I noticed one thing that caused problems. The column name Size is a reserved word, so you need to put brackets [] around it.
