Hi.
I'm fairly new to VB.NET programming, and i'm currently developing an application for the sake of experience.
What i know about Visual Basic programming might be considered dangerous, but none the less, i'm trying.
I'm having difficulty getting past the idea of how to update a record in a Microsoft Access 2000 database file. I have no problems inserting, deleting and creating new records in the database, but somehow it seems that there's more to updating a record than what i had expected.
The following code is what i use to collect the data of a specific row in my mdb file, and then displaying the data in the corresponding textbox which i have on my windows form.
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim sql As String
con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\bin\MY_DATABASE.mdb"
con.Open()
sql = "SELECT * FROM client WHERE ID = 1"
da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
da.Fill(ds, "ClientList")
con.Close()
'filling the corresponding textbox named txtName which I have on my windows form
txtName.Text = ds.Tables("ClientList").Rows(0).Item("Name")I managed to get past that and work myself around in order to fill the respective text boxes on my windows form.
Now the problem i'm facing, is that i have 3 buttons on this form, which should enable me to ADD, DELETE, or UPDATE the record by filling in or editing the text boxes on the form.
So many times have I tried, and so many times have i searched accross the Internet, and I cant seem to resolve this problem.
I want the update method to work like that of the code snippet I provided above, or atleast something similar to that.
Could anyone please help me with this?
Thank you in advance. Really appreciate it.
