SQL Troubleshooting in VB.Net - vb.net

Alright, here is my issue.
Working on a Inventory Control program, and got it mostly done, when a wild bug appears.
The system will check out a item, but will not check it back in, even though it throws all the proper messages that it does check the item in.
What's worse, is that the SQL statement is encapsulated in a try-catch class and acts as if nothing is wrong, and does not throw an exception.
And this is just a functional build, not a streamlined one, so it looks a little rough.
The statement in question is:
Dim OleCheckIn As New OleDbCommand("UPDATE Assets SET [Checked Out]='Checked In' WHERE [ID Number]=" + sBarcode + "", OleDbConn)
I am sure it is something very very obvious, but I have been rebuilding and staring at it for so long, I am likely glossing over a glaring hole in it.

You never execute your update commands:
OleCheckIn.ExecuteNonQuery()
OleCheckOut.ExecuteNonQuery()
Also, use parameters. You are exposing your system to SQL injection.

SystemManagement - Find a Device instance Path

The code I tried to convert from a C# code to VB.Net code is attached.
I was able to add the headers to a ListView.
I couldn't get the DeviceID and Caption values.
There is a loop inside the code. Since I converted the code from C# code to VB.Net with a converter, there might be deficiencies. Where am I making a mistake or what is missing in this code? I just couldn't succeed.

Please complete required fields message box

I'm trying to do a "Please complete required fields" messagebox.
Tt does show up but "Account Created" also pops out just right after "Please complete required fields" appears whenever I try entering even one character in a textbox or clicking one of the two radio button.
Also instead of "Please complete required fields", "User already exists!" shows up whenever the fields are empty.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong with my codes?
Thank you....

I agree with DavidSdot, your code is out of order.
Here is an example that might work. I say might because im not very good at vb.net. So you might need to change a few things to make it work. However, that being said, the following might do you well regarding the correct order in which it should go.
Try
Using conn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Thesis\Thesis\Database2.accdb"
If ((TextBox1.Text <> "" And TextBox2.Text <> "") And (RadioButton1.Checked <> False Or RadioButton2.Checked <> False)) Then
conn.Open()
Using dbCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("select count(username) from tbl_user where username like ?", conn)
dbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#uname", TextBox1.Text)
Dim result As Integer = DirectCast(dbCommand.ExecuteScalar(), Integer)
If result = 0 Then
Dim sql As String = "INSERT INTO tbl_user (username, [password],facultymember,student) " & _
"VALUES (#uname,#pwd,#fmem,#stud)"
Dim sqlCom As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(sql, conn)
sqlCom.Parameters.AddWithValue("#uname", TextBox1.Text)
sqlCom.Parameters.AddWithValue("#pwd", TextBox2.Text)
sqlCom.Parameters.AddWithValue("#fmem", RadioButton1.Checked)
sqlCom.Parameters.AddWithValue("#stud", RadioButton2.Checked)

End If
End Using

You should really take a look at the logic of Button1_click sub, because it is really hard to understand.
You opening your database twice
you already inserted a user with username="" and password="" thats why you get user exists message when you have not enter anything
Account created successfully! is always shown after Please complete the required fields as there is no check/return/whatever when fields as missing
No idea why the DB Insert is called on every keystroke as there is no code for that in what you posted

Get specific value from database to validate data

I want to take a value entered by the user and validate it against known values in a database.
I'm using VB.net (VS 2010) as a front end winform and dumping data into MSAccess. I have a table with values such as min weight and max weight, the user will enter a weight, and it needs to fall between the min weight and max weight values in the table.
I'm already created an open connection with the database I need, I guess I just don't know enogh VB.net and SQL to make it do what I want.
I want to have the user enter the Primary key of the table with the min weight and max weights and then use that to bring in the min max weights, then check the weight the user entered against the min max weights.
Here is all the code; the only really relevant code is the validate button click at the bottom. I just thought possibly this would give more context. Any point in the right direction will help, even if it gives me better keywords to google. Thanks!

adp.Fill(table)

using this block you can get the record from the database and apply you validation.

How to add BackgroundWorker for this code?

I've the following code, it's a code that parses an external Log file to a datagridview, however when I load a big file the operation takes time and the form freezes for a bit, what I need is to show a progress bar while it's parsing the log file.

Why is my form disappearing when I press ENTER?

Good-day,
I'm experiencing a very strange event that just started happening. Whenever I press the ENTER button on my keyboard, I expect the KeyDown event of my textbox to be raised and the corresponding code run. Instead, the form disappears (as if the .Hide() method has been called). When I debug, I see that the code that's supposed to run after the KeyDown event is raised is executing accordingly - but the form just disappears.
I've never encountered this before, so I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Although what follows will not likely solve the form disappearance problem, it will resolve a downstream issue:
In GetDBData(), you are assigning accountNumber to the value of TextBoxAcount.Text, which must be enclosed with quotes unless you employ a parameter which I strongly recommend you get in the habit of doing.
Dim dbAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM customer WHERE accountNumber = " & TextBoxAccount.Text, dbConn)
Parameters offer a number of benefits including implicit type conversions, injection attack prevention, and will sometimes even cure unexpected behaviors.
I figured out the problem. I was calling Dispose() at the end of my GetDBData() function - so the form was getting disposed before execution returned back to the TextBox. I deleted it and all is well again.
