    Thumbs up entering data in excel sheet trough Vb application form

    Hi there,
    I need to make windows application which has simple form with couple of text boxes and
    button save. Application has to enter into excel data cell by cell as (when i fill the
    form, and clicking a save button). Excel file has to be stored on the local machine and
    problem i encountered is, how to determine which cell is already populated with certain
    content, content it self has to be protected when you once enter it trough form. So it
    means that You fill up complete form and save it , application saves content and restores
    text fields to blank for next data entry. I need a way to detect that cell in excel sheet is
    empty, and if is, then to enter new data. In other words i need to prevent previously entered data
    not to be overwritten.

    Thanks in advance

    Zoran

    Re: entering data in excel sheet trough Vb application form

    There are several different ways of doing this. I don't happen to have the code with me at the moment but just do a search for things like "vb.net next empty cell Excel". There are plenty of examples out there. Another way would be to pick a location in the Excel file you know will never be written to and just keep an key in that field which would tell you where you left off last time you saved data. You will need to increment this field by one each time but that's an easy task. When you start to save new data just read this cell to know where you can start writing new data. But there are loops and other methods for determining when a row is empty thus available for new data.

    Re: entering data in excel sheet trough Vb application form

    Hello,

    Take a look at my sample at the link below. It does show how to read a single cell as a string (you can easily convert the string to another type i.e. Integer for instance) and check to see if the value is empty. There is a good deal of code that in many cases shows the same thing over and over again showing it works in regards to reading data and a few examples of saving single cell data. If you take time to study the code than you will have a path to get the results you want. If on the other hand you don't take time to study the code than there will be no solution.

    Note that most examples use Office automation although there are a few that use OleDb.

    entering data in excel sheet trough Vb application form

    I did following code, ad this is pretty what i need, but i need more control over it,
    actually i need ID, i meant to put another text box and to link it with column F for instance,
    this will provide me back info about row which application is writing to. Because i don't know which row
    is already taken, back info regarding ID is required.
    any idea how to read that column and display next empty ID row?

    Thanks in advance


    Code:
      Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
            Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
            Dim xlWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet
            Dim lastRow As Long
    
            xlApp = New Excel.Application
            xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\file.xlsx")
            xlWorksheet = xlWorkBook.Worksheets(1)
            xlApp.Visible = False
    
            lastRow = xlWorksheet.Range("A" & xlApp.Rows.CountLarge).End(Excel.XlDirection.xlUp).Row + 1
    
            With xlWorksheet
                .Range("A" & lastRow).Value = Me.TextBox1.Text
                .Range("B" & lastRow).Value = Me.TextBox2.Text
                .Range("C" & lastRow).Value = Me.TextBox3.Text
                .Range("D" & lastRow).Value = Me.TextBox4.Text
                .Range("E" & lastRow).Value = Me.TextBox5.Text
                .Range("F" & lastRow).Value = Me.TextBox6.Text
            End With
    
            xlWorkBook.Save()
            xlWorkBook.Close()
    
            releaseObject(xlWorkBook)
            releaseObject(xlWorksheet)
            xlApp.Quit()
            releaseObject(xlApp)
        End Sub
        Private Sub releaseObject(ByVal obj As Object)
            Try
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
                obj = Nothing
            Catch ex As Exception
                obj = Nothing
            Finally
                GC.Collect()
            End Try
    
        End Sub
    
    
    
        Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    
            'clears text boxes
            TextBox1.Text = ""
            TextBox2.Text = ""
            TextBox3.Text = ""
            TextBox4.Text = ""
            TextBox5.Text = ""
            TextBox6.Text = ""
        End Sub

            xlApp.Quit()
            releaseObject(xlApp)
        End Sub
        Private Sub releaseObject(ByVal obj As Object)
            Try
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
                obj = Nothing
            Catch ex As Exception
                obj = Nothing
            Finally
                GC.Collect()
            End Try
    I think in this case a combination of Office automation and OleDb would work then. Read the sheet data into a DataTable and bind the Column F to a TextBox. This goes back to my example project on MSDN.

    Also I would like to tell you that the code current shown may not release memory properly, best to have Task Manager open to see if memory is released at the end of the sub.

    Go under project properties, references, the office reference for Excel needs to be removed as it is the incorrect version for your computer. Next add a new reference for Office Excel which will appear as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

    Re: entering data in excel sheet trough Vb application form

    What version of Visual Studio 2010 are you using i.e. Express, Premium etc?
    I ask because the project was created with Premium on my Vista box and tested also on an XP box.

    Not sure what to say at this point as it should work. There have been several hundred downloads with no one indicating an issue like this.

    Are you running on a 64bit OS, if so try compiling the app as 32bit.

    Re: entering data in excel sheet trough Vb application form

    Will try that, Yes I am running on x64 OS , definitely will compile on x86 and try it.
    Now latest update of my code for writing to a excel file.
    I am using text1.text file as help file, in which i am storing last used ID number,
    on load i am reading that number and displaying it under listbox1,
    few more touches and it will be what i need, but i will try also with OleDb


    Code:
    Public Class Form1
    
        Private Property newinfo As Object
    
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    
            'reads text1.txt file and displays on listbox1 on form load event
            Dim a As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("\\DVR-ZOKI\Full shared\text1.txt")
            Dim b As String() = a.Split(vbNewLine)
            ListBox1.Items.AddRange(b)
            MsgBox("Last ID Updated")
        End Sub
    
    
    
        
    
    
    
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
            Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
            Dim xlWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet
            Dim lastRow As Long
    
            'writes value of textbox1 to a text file
            'Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\text1.txt", False)
            'objWriter.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
            'objWriter.Close()
            
            
    
    
    
            'writes value to text1.txt
            Dim FILE_NAME As String = "\\DVR-ZOKI\Full shared\text1.txt"
            If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
                Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME)

    Refering to my MSDN code, OpenExcelWriteData in OpenWorkSheets.vb shows how to write data to a cell, in this case strings but you can so this with a Date too i.e.
    Code:
    xlRange1.Value = Now.ToString("d")

    Thanks Kevin,
    i managed to finalize application, now i ' m posting final code

    Code:
    Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
    
    
    
    Public Class Form1
    
        Private Property newinfo As Object
        
       
    
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            Label7.Text = ListBox1.Text
            'reads text1.txt file and displays on listbox1 on form load event
            Dim a As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\text1.txt")
            Dim b As String() = a.Split(vbNewLine)
            ListBox1.Items.AddRange(b)

    Dear zoomtronic,

    I am attaching here the picture of my your project type, a newly created assumption.

    I have fixed the errors which i got at runtime on my behalf, But after all that fixing, I am still not able to understand the use of List Box1.Text that is connected with Label7.Text

    So please clear my doubt if possible...

    Regards & Thanks.

    I used Label7.text to read which is the last entered record number, and this number added to one gives me NEXT record number to be written.
    My users were writing that number manually, so i had to have hint what comes next, so i did that with label7 reading and displaying suggested number to textbox1.text

    i hope that this help.

    Actually after posting this post,...When I again researched on your program I got it fixed by thinking somehow,...But anyways....

    ..........I have an idea, you can use combobox in place of textboxes to make your task more easy & convinient as I did from which you can select or write.
