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!

Saving new record to dataset and then comitting changes to database

Asked by Mike_Stevens in .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Visual Studio

Tags: changes, database, record, 2005, dataset

I am trying to save a newly inserted row in the dataset and commit the changes back to the database in a vb.net windows project.    I am creating the dataset when the form loads and then adding a row to that dataset when i execute the save code i created.  Below is how i am creating the dataset:

Public Class frmMainForm

    Dim BOL_DS As New DataSet  <-----declaring the dataset

    Private Sub frmMainForm_Load..........        
         Dim sSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM tblInfo"
         Dim cn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.dbConnectionString)
         Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cn.CreateCommand)

         If cn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
             cn.Open()
         End If

         da.SelectCommand.CommandText = sSQL
         da.Fill(BOL_DS)
   End Sub

Then when i want to save the data to the dataset i am doing the following:

         Dim dr As DataRow
        dr = BOL_DS.Tables(0).NewRow

        dr("Rec_ID") = Me.Rec_ID.Text
        dr("Date") = Me.Todays_Date.Text

        BOL_DS.Tables(0).Rows.Add(dr)

I then commit the changes to the database as follows:

        Dim sSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM tblInfo"

        Dim cn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.dbConnectionString)
        Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(sSQL, cn)

        Dim cb As New SqlCommandBuilder(da)

        'update dataset
        da.Update(BOL_DS)

When I execute all of this code it all seems to work (no errors are thrown) but nothing gets saved back to the database.   I am hoping somebody can shed some light on what is happening and what i am doing wrong.   I am using vb.net & SQL server 2005.

Thanks
