The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

use combo box to read data in SQL Server 2005 db

Asked by BobRosas in SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio

Tags: , , , ,

I could really use a lot of help on how to code a combo box in Microsoft Visual Studio if I am connected to SQL Server 2005 db.
I'm not even sure where to begin.  I'm connected to the db and I can move previous and next and all of the fields on the form change the way I would expect.  But I want to be able to select a FileNo from the combo box and have it fill the form with the correct data.  

I have tried creating the following view in SQLServer 2005 but it won't even compile...

SELECT     FileNo, SSN, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, Dependants
FROM         dbo.tblClientInfo
WHERE     (FileNo = @FileNo)

If I take off the Where clause (just to get something to work) I can save it.  So I tired using the followng   code in the SelectedIndexChanged property of my cboFileNo combo box.  It complies but when I select a file number from the dropdown menu I get the errors
Relax or turn off constraints in your DataSets.
Clear datasets before loading them from view state.
Code in the SelectedIndexChanged property:
   Private Sub LoadByFileNo(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Me.VuLkUpFileNoTableAdapter.Fill(Me.ServicesDataSet.vuLkUpFileNo)
    End Sub

I don't even know if I'm on the right track.  I have viewed many "how to" videos on VB.net but none of them have an example using a dropdown menu the way I want.

I could really use some detailed help.  A link to detailed instructions on how to create a combo box would also work.
