[2005] deleting record from the database. help!!!!!

i have highlighted the selected row that needs to be deleted. the problem is after i deleted the selected row, i want it to be updated inside the database itself. like for e.g, i'm deleting this row : Nur, 13/05/2987, Harkiki. after i click the delete button, that particular row is deleted. den when i click on the update button, i want the record (without this row: Nur, 13/05/2987, Harkiki) to be inside the database. what r the codes ? could someone help me with the codes???

Maybe I am missing something here, but when you delete the row that is updating the database. It's not 2 seperate processes. The sql command would be something like

Code:

---

DELETE FROM table_name WHERE column_name = some_value

---

shud i put ur codes inside the delete button or update button??

my program still not working when using ur codes

You need to create a connection to your database e.g. I'm using Sql Server CE at the moment so this is

VB Code:

dim connectionString as string = "Data Source=test.sdf"
dim sqlConnection as SqlCeConnection = new SqlCeConnection
With sqlConnection
[INDENT].ConnectionString = strConn[/INDENT]
[INDENT].Open()[/INDENT]
End With

then create a command to delete the record

VB Code:

dim sqlCommand as SqlCeCommand
sqlCommand.connection = sqlConnection
sqlCommand.CommandText = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE column_name = some_value"
sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

i have created the connection to the database
den after that, i m stuck with that

Why don't you post the code (just the relevant bits please).

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strcon As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source =C:\temp\db1.mdb"
Dim con As OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim dr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
Try

Dim strselect As String = "Delete from item where DateDeleted ='" & Format(DateTimePicker1.Value) & "'"

'create a new connection
con = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(strcon)
con.Open()
cmd.Connection = con
cmd.CommandText = strselect
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader

If dr.Read Then
'TextBox2.Text = dr("ItemId")
'TextBox1.Text = dr("ReferenceNo")
cbxtype.Text = dr("ItemCategory")
DateTimePicker1.Text = dr("DateDeleted")

End If
dr.Close()

Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("The record is deleted")
End Try

' Dim alvw As ListView.SelectedIndexCollection = lvfine.SelectedIndices

' For Each lvw As Integer In alvw
'lvfine.Items.RemoveAt(lvw) ' Remove them from the list view.
' Next

For i As Integer = Me.lvfine.SelectedItems.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
Me.lvfine.Items.Remove(Me.lvfine.SelectedItems(i))
Next i

For i As Integer = Me.lvfine.SelectedIndices.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
Me.lvfine.Items.RemoveAt(Me.lvfine.SelectedIndices(i))
Next i

While Me.lvfine.SelectedItems.Count > 0
Me.lvfine.Items.Remove(Me.lvfine.SelectedItems(0))
End While
End Sub


these codes r put in the delete button

You ar using ExecuteReader() when you need to use ExecuteNonQuery(). I'm not 100% sure but when you delete from the database there won't be anything returned back to read.

it still not working

if i never put ExcuteReader, then i cannot declare this : Dim dr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader.

Why do you want a DataReader if you are not returning any rows. DataReaders are used in SELECT satements.

That's not true. Just because you don't use the datareader doesn't mean you can't declare it. But what's the point if you are not going to use it.

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strcon As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source =C:\temp\db1.mdb"
Dim con As OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
Try
 
Dim strselect As String = "Delete from item where DateDeleted ='" & Format(DateTimePicker1.Value) & "'"
 
'create a new connection
con = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(strcon)
con.Open()
cmd.Connection = con
cmd.CommandText = strselect
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
con.Close()
 
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("The record is deleted")
End Try
 
' Dim alvw As ListView.SelectedIndexCollection = lvfine.SelectedIndices
 
' For Each lvw As Integer In alvw
'lvfine.Items.RemoveAt(lvw) ' Remove them from the list view.
' Next
 
For i As Integer = Me.lvfine.SelectedItems.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
Me.lvfine.Items.Remove(Me.lvfine.SelectedItems(i))
Next i
 
For i As Integer = Me.lvfine.SelectedIndices.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
Me.lvfine.Items.RemoveAt(Me.lvfine.SelectedIndices(i))
Next i
 
While Me.lvfine.SelectedItems.Count > 0
Me.lvfine.Items.Remove(Me.lvfine.SelectedItems(0))
End While
End Sub

With regards to you displaying a message box saying the record is deleted when you catch the exception, this is probably in the worng place. You should also catch other exception like SqlException.

That's exactly the point. If you're deleting a record then you aren't going to be reading anything, so there's no need for a DataReader. I've recommended to you before that you should read some tutorials but it seems that you've chosen to ignore that advice.
