Auto Generate Textbox

dear Sir,

I have tried to populate the textbox from auto generate serial no column of sql server 2005 with this code below, but it does not work, the textbox still show empty.
So kindly help me how to display the textbox with the data retrieve from sql server 2005

Quote:

---

Public Sub serialnogenerate()
connect()
sqlquery = "select c_slno from newconnection"
cmd = New SqlCommand(sqlquery, con)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
While dr.Read
a = dr(0)
End While
serialnotxt.Text = a + 1
con.Close()
End Sub

---

What do you expect from this line?

serialnotxt.Text = a + 1

That will go through all the records, substituting the value of the textbox each iteration so you will get only the last one. And since you are adding the "1", are those numbers? do you want to add to the quantity or expect to add a 1 to the string?

Your connect() sub may affect the rest of the procedure, I don't know.

Note: enclose your code in CODE tags, not QUOTE ones.

vb Code:

Public Sub serialnogenerate()
   connect()
   sqlquery = "select c_slno from newconnection"
   cmd = New SqlCommand(sqlquery, con)
   dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
      While dr.Read
         a = dr(0)
      End While
 
   Dim srlnotxt As Integer
 
        If Integer.TryParse(CStr(CDbl(a) + 1), srlnotxt) Then
              serialnotxt.Text = srlnotxt.tostring
        End If
 
   con.Close()
End Sub

Is this what you were after?

Wait a minute, apologies, I misread the OP.
