How to clear columns record for dataset search query??

[HOTFIX]

Hello…

I’ve got MS Access (.mdb) database binding with a form , After doing database search query in vb.net form I want to set specific columns to null value by pressing a button and save these changes to the database table?

I Know the codes for clearing columns in the database table but I’m looking for clearing dataset columns!

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

            Dim Del As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
            Del.Connection = con
            Del.CommandType = CommandType.Text

            Del.CommandText = "UPDATE Table1 SET column4 = null , column5= null , column7= null , column21= null "

            con.Open()

            Del.ExecuteReader()

            con.Close()


            Refresh_Dataset2()

End Sub

Any idea PLZ

well, for starters you should NEVER be using a reader to execute an action query like that. You should be using .ExecuteNonQuery ... that's what it is designed for.

as for clearing dataset columns... that could mean a couple things... what is it you are trying to do?

Hi TG..

Thanks for the advice about using .ExecuteNonQuery

For the dataset clearing I’m trying to do the following scenario:

I’ve got DGV which showing the complete database as dataset1, after doing a search by command button ; the results will be shown in the same DGV as dataset2,now I want to clear a specific columns in the dataset2 by pressing a button…

Any idea...
