[RESOLVED] sql command help needed

[MrtforCode]

I got this code to get alll the notes loaded

Private Sub Load_History()
        Dim myCnt As Integer
        Dim myStr As String
        Dim myDataset As New DataSet
        Dim i As Integer = 10
        Dim e As Integer = -1


        myStr = "select owner,names from orders"
        Dim sqldaHistory As New SqlDataAdapter(myStr, nwindconn)

        sqldaHistory.Fill(myDataset, "orders")

        myCnt = myDataset.Tables(0).Rows.Count

        Do While i > 0

            i = i - 1
            e = e + 1

            pnltable.RowStyles.Add(New RowStyle(SizeType.Absolute, 100))

            Dim lblName As New Label
            'lblName.Text = myDataset.Tables(0).Rows(e).Item("owner")

            Dim listEvent As New ListBox
            listEvent.Size = New Size(100, 20)
            listEvent.Items.Add("Update")

            Dim lblNote As New Label
            lblNote.Text = myDataset.Tables(0).Rows(e).Item("notes")
            lblNote.Size = New Size(300, 100)

            pnltable.Controls.Add(lblName)
            pnltable.Controls.Add(listEvent)
            pnltable.Controls.Add(lblNote)

        Loop

    End Sub

It displays 10 latest notes for me, but I also want it to display the name from the same row as notes.

Why wouldn't this work?

lblName.Text = myDataset.Tables(0).Rows(e).Item("names")

[MrtforCode]

it says that the column does not belong to the table "orders" when I know it's there.

I think myStr = "select notes from orders" may not be suitable for multiple columns. it is only good to take one of the columns from the DB (owner or notes). So it does work with one of these but not with both

Thanks

hey MrtforCode
u may select as many as columns from the table even from multitables too

just use select * from orders all columns and all records will be returned
