Visual Basic :: Text Box Data Type

Data Type Text Error
I am using the data type Text in my SQL7 database.

When I try to save data to these fields I get the following error.

Run-time error '-2147217900(80040e14)':

Code page transalations are not supported for the text data type. From: 1252 To: 850.

My code is simple.

Rs.open "Select ......
rs.addnew
rs.fields("MonDesc1") = text1.text
rs.update

Anyone have any ideas why I'm getting this error? I have used the data type text in the past and have not received this error.

Thanks

P.S. I can use data type ntext but I would rather not since ntext takes up twice as much spaces as text.

Insert Data From Text Box With Correct Value Type
I am trying to insert user input from textbox in vb.net into the database server and still not able to comply with the database (ms-sql) column's variable type.

Lets say text box called txtAmount will have amount of transaction entered and insert into the database column which has the variable set as money. So, to do so, I have to convert the text box value to decimal right? I did assigning the text box value to a decimal variable with CDec(txtamt.text)

But, it still can't work. It came out with error: Conversion from string to decimal is not correct. or something like cast from string to double is invalid.

Any way to do the input string correctly?

Below is the portion of the code:

Dim amt As Decimal
Dim bal As Decimal
Dim CID As Integer

CID = CInt(txtCID.Text) 'CID is Card ID
amt = CDec(txtAmt.Text) ' is the purchase amount
bal = CDec(txtBal.Text) ' is the balance

cmdCanteen.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmdCanteen.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tblCanteen (CardID, Amount, Date, Balance) " + "VALUES ('" + CID + "', '" + amt + "', '" + App.CurrentDate + "' , '" + bal + "' ) "
cmdCanteen.Connection = Conn

and the value in database is:
CardID - BigINT - 8
Amount - Decimal - 8
Balance - Decimal - 8
Date - DateTime

How To Query A Column With TEXT Data Type?
Hi, I have a problem when querying a column with TEXT data type. My VB code works for varchar, int, smallint, etc. data types. When I use it for TEXT data type. Error occurs, Err.Description=Invalid use of Null. But the same query string for TEXT column works under SQL Query Analyzer.

Here is my VB code, -------------------------
Dim objCmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim objRst As New ADODB.Recordset

objCmd.CommandText = queryString
Set objRst = objCmd.Execute
If objRst Is Nothing Then
ElseIf objRst.BOF And objRst.EOF Then
Else
objRst.MoveFirst
'do something
End If

How to solve this problem? Thanks.

SQL Server - The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted.....
Hi All

I have developed an application with vb6.0 and sql server 2000 database and working well on my desktop.

While client saving records in db, sometimes they are getting following error.

"The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value."

I'm using ADOs and code like this...

rstCustomer("joindate") = mskJoinDate
rstCustomer("jointime") = mskJoinTime
rstCustomer.Update

' Here mskJoinDate is maskedit control, contains date in dd/mm/yyyy format only.

' Here mskJoinTime is maskedit control, contains Time in hh:mm format only.

' Both are datetime fields in database.

' These two fields won't contain any other data because I have done perfect validation before assign values to recordset.

Anybody have idea about my problem? Please help me to solve this.

Thanks in advance

Text Data Type Problem When Copying Tables
i have a table called "OldTable" with a field called "POC" in it... it is of text type and has a fields size of 255... i have another table that is an exact copy of the "OldTable" that has POC defined the same way.. problem is that i am copying all of the info from "OldTable" to the new table using vb6
and i get an error "Data Provider or other service returned an E_FAIL status. the record it stops at in the old database is the POC field and it has 255 characters exactly... but it wont let me update POC in the new table.. I'm dont see why it could be one table and not be allowed to be added to the other... i know its a bit confusing, but does anyone see a reason why this may be..
thanks

Prevent Deletions From A Text Box With Memo Data Type
I am writing a database that has a memo box with time and date stamp. Everything works fine but I need to know if there is a way to make the text within the box not able to go back and edit or delete. Can this be done and how if so?

Exporting Text Data Type To Excel 2000
I'm back, same project, different issue.

The customer has requested a change, that data be exported from our project into an Excel spreadsheet. For enterprise-wide compatability reasons, all MS Office functionality must support MS Office 2000.

So we are setting up the export routine using CopyFromRecordset, and we found an issue. Excel rejects an import of data longer than 255 characters, and our system uses MS SQL data type Text for free comments up to 7500 characters.

The customer worked around this by creating a base spreadsheet, with a very very long string (7000 characters) in a dummy row. Our team wants to not use this approach, because part of the requested feature is to have the output spreadsheet contain a user-specified number of sheets, each containing its own view from the database.

How do I tell Excel from VB6 to accept a long string of text data into a field, without using a precreated spreadsheet?

Bonus question: How rapid is CopyFromRecordset for a set of 10,000 records?

'The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-ran
Hi,

I am writing a SQl query in visual basic by startdate and end date. It works fine in SQL server and Query Analyser but when query comes into visual basic it error and the message is 'The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.'

The code:

declare @cMonth int, @year varchar(10), @first_sDate datetime, @first_eDate datetime, @Second_sDate datetime, @Second_eDate datetime
set @cMonth = datepart(month, getdate())
set @year = datepart(year, getdate())
set @first_sDate = @year + '-01-01' + ' 00:00:01'
set @first_eDate = @year + '-06-30' + ' 11:59:59'
set @Second_sDate = @year + '-07-01' + ' 00:00:01'
set @Second_eDate = @year + '-12-31' + ' 11:59:59'

if @cMonth <= 6
begin
select *
from pub
where created_date BETWEEN @first_sDate and @first_eDate
end
else
begin
select *
from pub
where created_date BETWEEN @second_sDate and @second_eDate
end

In here two sets of data need to represent first six month and second six month.

how do change varchar to datetime? I tried convert but didnot work. Any body can help with the code? The error caused only in visual basic.

Many Thanks

Type Mismatch...Data Type Vs. Host Data Type?
I keep receiving the "Type mismatch" error, and I think it stems from several fields containing dates which I am trying to update into a MS Access database. What I am trying to determine is what would be the proper settings for the "Data Type" and "Host Data Type", under the Parameters tab in my Command properties? The format I am hoping to achieve is mm/dd/yyyy. (This is already correctly set in my Regional Settings.) I hope this makes sense...I have been searching the forums and haven't found any descriptions yet of the various options for these two settings.

Convert Long Data Type To Integer Data Type
I am trying to convert an array from a long data type to an integer data type. When I use the Cint() function I am getting an overflow error. Is there a way around this? Basically what I am trying to do is to convert two successive 16 bit representations (stored as a long) number into a floating point using the MoveMemory API. The .ReadResults is an OCX defined function that reads MyLongData(j) from Memory and stores into a long data type.

Code:
Dim MyIntData(2) As Integer
Dim MyLongData(2) As Long

Dim fValue As Single
Dim j As Integer

For j = 0 To 1

MyStatus = MbMasterV71.ReadResults(hConnect, Slave, Cmd, RegStart + j, MyLongData(j))

Next j

MyIntData(0) = CInt(MyLongData(0))

CopyMemory fValue, MyIntData(0), 4

At later point of time i want the same variable to be declared to

Determine Variant Data Type (wrt Hard Data Types)
Hi,

I am using a variant parameter in a function to simplify my UI for a control. When that funciton is called, the variant parameter will either be a string or a long. I need to determine which has been passed.

(One problem is that a string argument can begin with a number, so that rules out using the VAL function.)
(Since the argument is not an object, I cannot use the IS operator.)

How can I determine the data type of the variant within the function?

Cheers,
Nap.

Problem Of Data Sending Using Two Serial Com Ports</title> <script Type="text/javascript"> <!-- Function PrintTags() { Var Curr=document.getElementById('vB_Editor_QR_textarea').value; Newval=curr.repl
Hi everyone,

Im facing some problem in data sending using two serial com port(RS232).

here is my VB code,

Code:
Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
Dim bytToSend1(0) As Byte
Dim strData As String
Select Case MSComm1.CommEvent
Case comEvReceive
'
' The Pic has sent us something notification to allow next data'
'
If boFinished = False Then
strData = MSComm1.Input
'
' Send the next byte
' and increment the next byte pointer
'
bytToSend1(0) = send_L(intNextByte1)
MSComm1.Output = bytToSend1()
intNextByte1 = intNextByte1 + 1

'
' When we've sent 10 bytes we've finished
' so set the finished flag
'
If (intNextByte1 = 10) Then
boFinished = True
MsgBox "All data1 has been sent"
intNextByte1 = 0
boFinished = False

End If
End If

End Select
End Sub

Private Sub MSComm2_OnComm()
Dim bytToSend2(0) As Byte
Dim strData2 As String
Select Case MSComm2.CommEvent
Case comEvReceive
'
' The Pic has sent us something notification to allow next data'
'
If boFinished2 = False Then
strData2 = MSComm2.Input

'
' Send the next byte
' and increment the next byte pointer
'
bytToSend2(0) = send_R(intNextByte2)
MSComm2.Output = bytToSend2()
intNextByte2 = intNextByte2 + 1

'
' When we've sent 10 bytes we've finished
' so set the finished flag
'
If (intNextByte2 = 10) Then
boFinished2 = True
MsgBox "All data2 has been sent"

intNextByte2 = 0
boFinished2 = False

End If
End If

End Select
End Sub

Im using two com ports in the serial communication which connect to two independent PIC circuits.

im have ten pair of data (send_L() and send_R() which are in one byte each) that need to send out to two of my PIC circuits. lets say that, data of send_L() is for PIC circuit 1 and data of send_R() is for PIC circuit 2.
the first pair of data is send out automatically and after my PIC have finished process the first data, it will send a notification to VB to allow the next data come in.

my problem is, this code is sending data independently to each of the PIC without synchronize with the other.
the first pair is working fine but when it come to the next data,VB send the
data whenever which of the PIC send the notification 1st (because the time for the data to process in PIC is different), so this cause the data that send out is not synchronize with the other.

Can i make my VB to send the data in pair, in other word VB will send out the next pair of data when VB receive two notification from each of the PIC.

can anyone help me? what should i write in the VB code? thanks.

(X,Y) Data Type
i need to return an array from a class, and i am curious if thier are any built in vb types that have an x and y value that could be used for array declaration

or does someone have a better idea?

Get Data Type
I am embarrassed to ask this but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the simple command which gives the data type of a variable! I have spent about an hour on the web but with no success. Anybody help?

Data Type
I've been given a DLL that contains a method, which I need to call from my VB code. The documentation provides the following information:

Name: GetAutoEvalDLLVersion
Parameters: 1 CHAR_8 array that will be filled with the version and build information in the format of M.mm.B. These are the major version (M), the minor version to two decimal places (mm) and the build number (B).

Return Value: Either 1 (Okay) or 0 (Null Structure).

I have created a new VB project and entered the code as below.

Private Declare Function GetAutoEvalDLLVersion Lib "AutoEval.dll" (strBuildNo As String) As Integer

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim x As Integer
x = GetAutoEvalDLLVersion ("4.10.9")
End

The above causing VB to error and exit. Would somebody be kind enough to tell me where I am going wrong? I believe it is to do with the way I have declared the argument or the value I am passing in. The documentation contains the following explaining the data types that should be used....

Strings are specified as CHAR_8 x Y where Y indicates the length of the string in characters. Strings must consist of a block of Y CHAR_8's (bytes) arranged consecutively in memory, where each byte contains the ASCII value of a character. The byte in memory following the last character must contain the value zero. Thus a string specified as CHAR_8 x 12 in this document will contain 13 bytes of stroage in the data structure -12 bytes for the actual string and 1 byte for this zero byte. For all instances where a value is unknown, the variable should contain the value '-1'. In a string field, the first character should be entered as '-', the second as '1' and the third should contain the ascii value, 0.

Your help would be welcomed with open arms! Many Thanks

Case "A" or Option1
'Do something
Case "B" or Option2
