Activity O Outcome: Cr reating an ap pplication tha will integr at rate the data abase and ADO.NET This activ will crea an interfa with sev vity ate ace veral labels, buttons with the usage of the data form h wizard to create simp data acc o ple cess applicat tion. Create a new project as LAB8 and save it in your preferred location ex w d xample D: Step 1: C Step 2: C Create an int terface as sh hown below in form1. Name it as frm mRegistrati ion:

Step 3: S the name for every o Set e object used i the frmRe in egistration a as:

BtnNext btnLast btnClick

Step 4: Write the program code as followed

Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class frmRegister

Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim

txtFirstName.Clear() txtLastName.Clear()

End Sub Private Sub BtnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnAdd.Click BtnCommit.Enabled = True BtnAdd.Enabled = False BtnUpdate.Enabled = False BtnDelete.Enabled = False txtFirstName.Clear() txtLastName.Clear() inc = 0 End Sub

Private Sub BtnClick_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnClick.Click frmSearch.Show() End Sub

End Class

Step 5: Create an interface as shown below in form2. Name it as frmSearch.

Step 6: Set the name for every object used in the frmSearch as:

Object
TextBox1

Name
txtSearch btnSearch btnReset DataGrid1

Step 7: Write the program code as in frmSearch:

Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class frmSearch Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim Dim inc As Integer MaxRows As Integer con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection dbProvider As String dbSource As String ds As New DataSet da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter sql As String

Private Sub BtnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnSearch.Click If TextBox1.Text = "" Then MessageBox.Show("Please Enter First Name") Else dbProvider = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" dbSource = "Data Source = D:/AddressBook.mdb" con.ConnectionString = dbProvider & dbSource

sql = "select* from tblContacts where FirstName " & _ "like '%" & TextBox1.Text & "%'" da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con) da.Fill(ds, "AddressBook")

DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0) BtnSearch.Enabled = False BtnReset.Enabled = True End If

End Sub Private Sub DataGrid1_CurrentCellChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.CurrentCellChanged Dim stuid As String stuid = DataGrid1.Item(DataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber, 0) End Sub

Private Sub BtnReset_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnReset.Click BtnSearch.Enabled = True BtnReset.Enabled = False TextBox1.Text = "" End Sub End Class

Step 8: Set the connection by click Data Add New Source

Step 9: Click Next

Step 10: Click New Connection

Step 11: Click Browse and Look in your location of AddressBook.mdb.After you select it click Open

Step 12: Then the text box for database file name will be filled up according to the location of your database file. Click Test Connection and when the pop up message Test connection

succeeded is displayed, the connection is properly connected. If not you have to check the right database file or set up the right procedure to have the connection. Click OK.

Step 13: Click Next.

Step 14: Then it will pop up a message. Click Yes.

Step 15: Check

Tables. Click Finish.

You will get something like shown above in your Solution Explorer. Congrats! You have successfully set the connection to the database. Now you may fill in the data into the form to be manipulated. Enjoy your exploration!
