after compiling i got succeed,but if i browse the image and try to save that using the button i am getting the following error.

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in system.data.dll"
also problem comming in "conn.open"

so what to do.

Hi,

Also, you are being far too vague for anyone to help. I have not looked at your other threads but would try to make some helpful comments:

1. If you feel your last post is being ignored or missed, just add another brief post to it saying something like "Anyone please?" or simply "Bump"

2. Problems with database connections are usually errors in the connection string (that assumes you have correctly created the instance). Check your path - make sure the database is where you think it is - and any passwords. But if you have got as far as your first error then your conn must be working.

3. "An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in system.data.dll" often indicates a problem with field naming or data type conflict. e.g.

Field Naming.

a) VB.NET will only allow field names to contain alpha-numeric characters or the underscore ( _ ), even though Access will permit other characters such as spaces, brackets, some arithmetic signs, etc. Always begin your field names with an alphabetic character or an underscore - not a number

b) Make sure your field names are not reserved words, in either VB.NET or Access (Assuming your database is Access). Either use a prefix e.g. sName instead of Name or place the reserved word in square brackets [ ] in your query.

Data Type Conflict

Make sure the data from VB.NEt is the same type as the Database field.


Always use a Try....catch block around database code because it will give you the exact cause of the error.

If you don't post your code AND indicate the line giving rise to the error, that's the best I can do.

Is that a dig at me or have I just got a guilty conscience? ;)

Hi,

NO WAY :wave: I have great respect for your input. Also, I've just looked at his other threads and understand your comments. You ARE trying to be helpful to him and guide him for future posts.

No, my reference to trying to be helpful was solely related to my lack of knowledge added to his lack of information. :sick:

Having looked at his posts, I see he is using Oracle ( about which I know nothing) but I thought Microsoft Jet.4 .... was only used for Access databases.

Keep posting please.

You connection string seems to be incomplete http://www.connectionstrings.com/.
Put a try catch block to get a precise error message.

Regards
Jorge

This is the only post I am going to give you, since you don't seem to be following directions for the multiple threads. For 1 thing you need a SELECT command in order to select your values you need from the database, not an INSERT command, that's just basic SQL knowledge (although that INSERT statement might be for when you add records)

As for the rest, there is a help topic you should look up, it is titled "Accessing Data With ADO.NET" in the Help file, or MSDN would have it if you did not install the Help. It has plenty of info there WITH EXAMPLES... you need to start researching the material you are working on instead of trying to throw together items from different sources without knowing what they do...

Ooohh. Please don't create a new thread for the continuation of our discussion just click the post reply button and not the new thread button.

Ok I try to figure out your code.

VB Code:

Imports System.Data.OleDb
 
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
 
'Declare your connection globally
Dim cn as New OleDbConnection(strConn)
 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO users (userid, password)VALUES('" & txtuserid.Text & "','" & txtpassword.Text & "')", cn)
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close()
 
End Sub
End Class

Btw what is Repeater1? Is it a datagrid?
