Invalid Operation Exception when filling DataSet - sql

The is a database driven currency converter, where the program has to fetch the exchange rates from the database and display them.
This is what I've done so far.
Private Sub DateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DateTimePicker1.ValueChanged
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim sql As String
sql = "SELECT TOP 1 USD,EUR,GBP FROM dbexchangeRates WHERE Date='" & DateTimePicker1.Text.ToString & "'"
da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, cnnOLEDB)
da.Fill(ds, "rates")
If ds.Tables("rates").Rows.Count > 0 Then
txtUSD.Text = ds.Tables("rates").Rows(0).Item(0).ToString
txtGBP.Text = ds.Tables("rates").Rows(0).Item(1).ToString
txtEUR.Text = ds.Tables("rates").Rows(0).Item(2).ToString
End If
End Sub
End Class
I recieve an Invalid operation exception on the
a.Fill(ds, "rates") '
What am i doing wrong?
Thank you for your time.

Try this:
Private Sub DateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DateTimePicker1.ValueChanged
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim sql As String = "SELECT TOP 1 USD,EUR,GBP FROM dbexchangeRates WHERE Date= ?"
Using connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(strConnectionString),
command As New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sql, connection),
adapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(command)
connection.Open()
adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("#dt", OleDb.OleDbType.Date).Value = DateTimePicker1.Value
adapter.Fill(ds, "rates")
connection.Close()
End Using
If ds.Tables("rates").Rows.Count > 0 Then
txtUSD.Text = ds.Tables("rates").Rows(0).Item(0).ToString
txtGBP.Text = ds.Tables("rates").Rows(0).Item(1).ToString
txtEUR.Text = ds.Tables("rates").Rows(0).Item(2).ToString
End If
End Sub
I haven't checked but I wonder if the method DateTimePicker1.ValueChanged is being called before cnnOLEDB has been initialised on MyBase.Load. This way the connection, command and adapter are all initialised at the same time. By implementing Using they will also be disposed.
You probably also want to do some data validation to ensure a valid date is set before calling the database with a query otherwise other exceptions could occur.

change format date and can update in textbox with blank or zero in vb.net

I wanted to change the date format in the textbox to the format "dd-mmm-yy" but it did not work when in datagridview did not appear the date with the time and also I could not update in the textbox with blank and zero which caused the error "data type error". if I do not perform sql command for update in the "DATE" field then do not cause error. I use visual studio 2010
so the problem in the date column and if I update without a date column then it runs perfectly. Problem error : syntax error in update statement
thanks

Your SQL line must be written like:
sql = "UPDATE EXAMPLE SET DATE=#d,QTY=#q WHERE CODE=#c"
You set the values of these #xxx by adding more code:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#d", dtpDATE.Value)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#q", nudQTY.Value)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#c", txtCODE.Text)
Change your date time TextBox to be a datetimepicker instead. Instead of using textboxes for numeric values, use a NumericUpDown instead.
You must call AddWithValue("#xxx"... in the same order as the #xxx appear in the SQL. Access ignores the names and looks at the order Parameters appear in the SQL so it is important to call AWV on the same order. One day when you upgrade o using a different database it will support the name part of the parameter so you can add your values in any order but right now on access, order is important
You must write your SQL like I've shown. Never, ever do what you were doing before. Never use string concatenation to build a user-supplied data value into an SQL statement. It makes your program trivial to hack into. This might not matter while you're writing a tiny app to index grandma's record collection but it must never be done on any system of importance such as one used by many people

count of rows in MS access database in vb.net

Does anyone know what is wrong?
I am trying to count number of rows in MS access Database.
Here is code which I tried:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection
conn.ConnectionString = ("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=F:\Test Database\Database.accdb")
conn.Open()
Dim strsql As String
strsql = "Select count(*) from TABLA" '" select Panel from PANELS where ID"
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(strsql, conn)
Dim myreader As OleDbDataReader
myreader = cmd.ExecuteReader
myreader.Read()
PanelsInDatabase = myreader.Item(strsql)
Label1.Text = PanelsInDatabase
conn.Close()
For i As Integer = 0 To PanelsInDatabase - 1
CreatePanels()
CreateDeleteButton(_PanelName)
CreateLabels(_PanelName)
CreateLabel2(_PanelName)
Next
End Sub
if I start code, I get an error:
System.IndexOutOFRangeException
I have separated you user interface code from your database code. Of course, I don't know what CreatePanels is doing or where _PanelName is coming from. In your UI code you call the GetTABLACount function which returns as Integer.
In the database code use Using...End Using blocks for the connection and command so they are properly disposed even if there is an error.
Since you are only retrieving a single piece of data, you can use .ExecuteScalar which returns the first column of the first row of the result set As Object. Use CInt to get the Integer.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim count = GetTABLACount()
Label1.Text = count.ToString
For i As Integer = 0 To count - 1
CreatePanels()
CreateDeleteButton(_PanelName)
CreateLabels(_PanelName)
CreateLabel2(_PanelName)
Next
End Sub
Private Function GetTABLACount() As Integer
Dim dbCount As Integer
Using conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=F:\Test Database\Database.accdb"),
cmd As New OleDbCommand("Select count(*) from TABLA", conn)
conn.Open()
dbCount = CInt(cmd.ExecuteScalar)
End Using
Return dbCount
End Function
Use ExecuteScalar when you are selecting a single value
Dim connStr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=F:\Test Database\Database.accdb"
Dim sql = "select count(*) from tabla"
Using cmd As New OleDbCommand(sql, New OleDbConnection(connStr))
cmd.Connection.Open()
Dim ct = CInt(cmd.ExecuteScalar())
End Using

Parameters.AddWithValue: Parameter has already been defined

I try to add a parameters.addwithvalue.
Before change the code is like that..........
Private Sub ComboBox7_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox7.SelectedIndexChanged
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
MysqlConn.Close()
MysqlConn.Open()
COMMAND.CommandText = "select logo from licenses where name = '" & ComboBox7.Text & "'"
COMMAND.Connection = MysqlConn
Dim da As New MySqlDataAdapter(COMMAND)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "projectimages")
Dim c As Integer = ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count
If c > 0 Then
If IsDBNull(ds.Tables(0).Rows(c - 1)("logo")) = True Then
PictureBox6.Image = Nothing
Else
Dim bytBLOBData() As Byte = ds.Tables(0).Rows(c - 1)("logo")
Dim stmBLOBData As New MemoryStream(bytBLOBData)
PictureBox6.Image = Image.FromStream(stmBLOBData)
End If
End If
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
End Sub
Now what i try this to add paramatrers.addwithValue without succes:
Private Sub ComboBox7_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox7.SelectedIndexChanged
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
MysqlConn.Close()
MysqlConn.Open()
'COMMAND.CommandText = "select logo from licenses where name = '" & ComboBox7.Text & "'"
COMMAND.CommandText = "select logo from licenses where name = #ComboBox7Select"
COMMAND.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ComboBox7Select", If(String.IsNullOrEmpty(ComboBox7.Text), DBNull.Value, ComboBox7.Text))
COMMAND.Connection = MysqlConn
Dim da As New MySqlDataAdapter(COMMAND)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "projectimages")
Dim c As Integer = ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count
If c > 0 Then
If IsDBNull(ds.Tables(0).Rows(c - 1)("logo")) = True Then
PictureBox6.Image = Nothing
Else
Dim bytBLOBData() As Byte = ds.Tables(0).Rows(c - 1)("logo")
Dim stmBLOBData As New MemoryStream(bytBLOBData)
PictureBox6.Image = Image.FromStream(stmBLOBData)
End If
End If
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
End Sub
With error "Parameter '#ComboBox7Select' has already been defined."
What i do to change for work ??
Thanks you.
Don't store the MySqlConnection and MySqlCommand as fields in your class, don't reuse them at all. That's just a source of errors without any benefit. Create, initialize, use and dispose(Using-statement)them wherever you need them, so in this method.
You don't clear the parameters, that's why you get this error on second use.
So a simple COMMAND.Parameters.Clear() before you add it would solve the issue. But use the approach i have mentioned above:
Private Sub ComboBox7_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox7.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim licenseNameValue As Object = DBNull.Value
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(ComboBox7.Text) Then licenseNameValue = ComboBox7.Text
Using mysqlConn As New MySqlConnection("ConnectionString...")
Using da As New MySqlDataAdapter("select logo from licenses where name = #licenseName", mysqlConn)
da.SelectCommand.CommandText = "select logo from licenses where name = #licenseName"
da.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#licenseName", licenseNameValue)
da.Fill(ds, "projectimages") ' you dont need to open/close the connection with DataAdapter.Fill
End Using
End Using
' ....
End Sub
The problem is that you are using a global variable COMMAND that you use each time the selected index changes in your combo. Either you initialize the command each time with:
COMMAND=New MySqlCommand()
Or you must clear the parameters:
COMMAND.Parameters.Clear()
COMMAND.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ComboBox7Select", If(String.IsNullOrEmpty(ComboBox7.Text), DBNull.Value, ComboBox7.Text))
But the best way is always create and dispose the MySql objects with the Using struct:
Using MysqlConn As New MySqlConnection(connString)
Using COMMAND As New MySqlCommand()
'your code
End Using
End Using

VB.Net SQL Count Statement into a label

I'm trying to count the students whose teacher where teacher = '" & lblTeacher.Text & "'"
EXAMPLE :
Public Class Form1
Dim conn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Users\Richard\Desktop\Dbase.mdb"
Dim con As New OleDbConnection
Dim da, da1 As New OleDbDataAdapter
Dim dt, dt1 As New DataTable
Dim sql As String
Dim ds As New DataSet
Public Sub display()
sql = "select * from Info"
dt.Clear()
con.Open()
da = New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
da.Fill(dt)
con.Close()
DataGridView1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView
End Sub
Public Sub count()
sql = "select COUNT(name) from Info where teacher = '" & lblTeacher.Text & "'"
da1 = New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
ds.Clear()
con.Open()
da.Fill(ds)
lblCount.Text = ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count.ToString
con.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
con.ConnectionString = conn
display()
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.Click
lblTeacher.Text = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("teacher").Value.ToString
count()
End Sub
End Class

Try this instead of your current count() method. Pay special attention to my comments; they address some poor practices from the original code:
' Better functional style: accept a value, return the result
Public Function GetStudentCount(teacher As String) As Integer
'**NEVER** use string concatenation to put data into an SQL command!!!
Const sql As String = "select COUNT(name) from Info where teacher = ?"
'Don't try to re-use the same connection in your app.
' It creates a bottleneck, and breaks ADO.Net's built-in connection pooling,
' meaning it's more likely to make object use *worse*, rather than better.
'Additionally, connection objects should be created in a Using block,
' so they will still be closed if an exception is thrown.
' The original code would have left the connection hanging open.
Using con As New OleDbConnection(conn), _
cmd As New OleDbCommand(sql, con)
'This, rather than string concatenation, is how you should put a value into your sql command
'Note that this NEVER directly replaces the "?" character with the parameter value,
' even in the database itself. The command and the data are always kept separated.
cmd.Parameters.Add("teacher", OleDbType.VarChar).Value = teacher
con.Open()
' No need to fill a whole dataset, just to get one integer back
Return DirectCast(cmd.ExecuteScalar(), Integer)
'No need to call con.Close() manually. The Using block takes care of it for you.
End Using
End Function
Here it is again, without all the extra comments:
Public Function GetStudentCount(teacher As String) As Integer
Const sql As String = "select COUNT(name) from Info where teacher = ?"
Using con As New OleDbConnection(conn), _
cmd As New OleDbCommand(sql, con)
cmd.Parameters.Add("teacher", OleDbType.VarChar).Value = teacher
con.Open()
Return DirectCast(cmd.ExecuteScalar(), Integer)
End Using
End Function
Call it like this:
Private Sub DataGridView1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.Click
lblTeacher.Text = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("teacher").Value.ToString()
lblCount.Text = GetStudentCount(lblTeacher.Text).ToString()
End Sub

From Data Set to Textbox in VB.Net using MS-Access

Private Function Gelobee() As DataSet
Dim connection As OleDb.OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection
connection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=CMP.accdb"
connection.Open()
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT IDDesc FROM [ItemDesc] WHERE " & PartNoTxt.Text & " ORDER BY IDID;", connection)
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds, "FilteredDesc")
Return ds
connection.Dispose()
connection = Nothing
DescTxt.Text = ds.Tables(0).Rows(1).Item(1)
End Function
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Gelobee()
End Sub
I am trying to get the result of the query in Function Gelobee to go to DescTxt.Text when I click the Button1. When I click the Button1, nothing appears in the DescTxt. No errors but It wont show the result in the textbox.
Your code stops at the Return statement.
Change Gelobee() to this:
Private Function Gelobee() As DataSet
... ' Removed for brevity
da.Fill(ds, "FilteredDesc")
connection.Dispose()
connection = Nothing
DescTxt.Text = ds.Tables(0).Rows(1).Item(1)
Return ds
End Function
