Can't Delete First Record...[RESOLVED - enough]

What am I missing? :sick: When I try to delete the first record (and only the first record) in my PostgreSQL DB, I get an error that says:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.DeletedRowInaccessibleException' occurred in system.data.dll

Additional information: Deleted row information cannot be accessed through the row.

VB Code:

'Public declarations
 
    Dim con As New Odbc.OdbcConnection
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim da As Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter
    Dim sql As String
    Dim inc As Integer
    Dim maxrows As Integer
 
 
'Form Load
 
    Private Sub PartsManager_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
            con.ConnectionString = [LONG ODBC CONNECTION STRING IS HERE]
 
            con.Open()
            sql = "SELECT * FROM customer ORDER BY customername ASC;"
 
            da = New Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(sql, con)
 
            da.Fill(ds, "customer")
 
            maxrows = ds.Tables("Customer").Rows.Count
 
            inc = 0
 
            NavigateRecords()  'References another sub that tells where to put what, basically
 
    End Sub
 
 
'The Delete button code
 
    Private Sub btnDelete_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDelete.Click
        Dim cb As New Odbc.OdbcCommandBuilder(da)
        ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Delete()
        maxrows = maxrows - 1
        inc = 0
        NavigateRecords()
        da.Update(ds, "customer")
    End Sub

Thanks in advance...Let me know if there's something else you need.

Anyone?

Surely, somebody knows what the problem is here.

this is what my delete code looks like

VB Code:

Private Sub btnDelete_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDelete.Click
        Dim intcurrent As Integer = Me.BindingContext(DsSQL1, "dem").Position
        DsSQL1.Dem.Rows(intcurrent).Delete()
        blnIsDirty = True
        displayrecordposition()

dssql is my dataset and dem is the table name.
hope that helps

Is it because you are using the variable 'inc' before it is declared or set?
Have you stepped through checking its value?

Code:

---

        ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Delete()
        maxrows = maxrows - 1
        inc = 0

---

Ok, now I see that inc is public and set in load.

What about the code for NavigateRecords()? Is that where it's crashing?

That is indeed where it's crashing. As soon as I can disconnect from the VPN I'm on, I'll try it again, and insert the NavigateRecords() routine here.

Here's the NavigateRecords() code which I use throughout my application at various times, ie., after an update, insert, etc. When it crashes while trying to delete the first record, it highlights (in green) the first line and gives me the error I mentioned in my original post. If I comment out the first line, it crashes on the second, and so on. (EDIT) If I comment out the whole top half of the routine, it kind of works, but I have to catch a null exception in the NavigateRecords routine. (/EDIT)

I realize that the code is probably redundant and/or excessive, but I'm pretty green at programming in general and much of "my" code is put together from various sources and helpers, and I don't really know how to step through it.

VB Code:

Private Sub NavigateRecords()
 
        txtCustomerName.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("customername")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("customername")).ToString
        txtCustomerNumber.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("customernumber")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("customernumber")).ToString
        txtCustomerAddress.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("streetaddress")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("streetaddress")).ToString
        txtCustomerAddress2.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("streetaddress2")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("streetaddress2")).ToString
        txtCustomerPOBox.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("pobox")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("pobox")).ToString
        txtCustomerCity.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("city")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("city")).ToString
        txtCustomerState.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("state")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("state")).ToString
        txtCustomerZip.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("postalcode")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("postalcode")).ToString
        txtCustomerContact.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("contact")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("contact")).ToString
        txtCustomerPhone.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("contactphone")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("contactphone")).ToString
        txtCustomerNotes.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("notes")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("notes")).ToString
        txtCustomerLastUpdate.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("lastupdate")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("lastupdate")).ToString
        txtCustomerUpdatedBy.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("updatedby")), "", ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item("updatedby")).ToString
 
        Try
 
            txtCustomerName.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(0)
            txtCustomerNumber.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(1)
            txtCustomerAddress.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(2)
            txtCustomerAddress2.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(3)
            txtCustomerPOBox.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(4)
            txtCustomerCity.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(5)
            txtCustomerState.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(6)
            txtCustomerZip.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(7)
            txtCustomerContact.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(8)
            txtCustomerPhone.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(9)
            txtCustomerNotes.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(10)
            txtCustomerLastUpdate.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(11)
            txtCustomerUpdatedBy.Text = ds.Tables("customer").Rows(inc).Item(12)
 
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Returning Null Values")
        End Try
    End Sub

Thanks,
CP

Referencing the EDIT above: I can move the TRY to the top of the first half of the NavigateRecords routine and catch the same exception. It works, it's just kind of a hack job. I don't see the user deleting the very first record of an ordered data list all that often, so it's not a big deal. The refresh button I have makes everything happy again. :)
