Hi there,
DAO is no longer supported in VB.Net.

I'm having trouble converting this to ado.net
can you help

Option Explicit
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim rst As Recordset

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strID As String
Dim strLname As String
Dim StrFname As String
Dim rcdcnt As Integer
Dim nIndex
Dim nbar
Dim i

    Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from tblagents")
    Me.ctSchedule0.DateStart = 38215
   

      ctSchedule0.AddColumn "Agent ID", 50
        ctSchedule0.AddColumn "Last", 100
        ctSchedule0.AddColumn "First", 100
 Me.ctSchedule0.TimeType = 3
While Not rs.EOF
     Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("select * from tblTransactions where agent_id = " & rs!agent_id)

     
      strID = rs!agent_id
   strLname = rs!l_name
   StrFname = rs!f_name
           nIndex = Me.ctSchedule0.AddItem(strID + ";" + strLname + ";" + StrFname)
     
      If rst.RecordCount <> 0 Then
      rst.MoveLast
      rst.MoveFirst
      End If
     
       rcdcnt = rst.RecordCount
             
      For i = 1 To rcdcnt
    nbar = Me.ctSchedule0.AddTimeBar(nIndex, rst!TimeStart, rst!TimeEnd, rst!Date, rst!Date)
        rst.MoveNext
    Next i
   rs.MoveNext
Wend
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

    ' Make sure your database file is with the same folder as your app resides.
    Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\narvis.mdb", False, False)

End Sub

Sure.. I'll try...
first what these things are doing ? (In plain words)
>> nIndex = Me.ctSchedule0.AddItem(strID + ";" + strLname + ";" + StrFname)
>> nbar = Me.ctSchedule0.AddTimeBar(nIndex, rst!TimeStart, rst!TimeEnd, rst!Date, rst!Date)

and if possible, please explain your task .. :))

I have a control http://www.dbi-tech.com/SolSched7ProductPage.htm that I've been using in VB6 and MS access for a while now..
I am switching over to vb.net and I'm having trouble loading the data to the control.

the additem method nIndex = ctSchedule.AddItem("text") load the list of agents and the nindex is the index it was loaded to kinda like a listbox.

the addtimebar [form.]ctSchedule.AddTimeBar( nIndex, lTimeStart, lTimeEnd, lDateStart, lDateEnd ) loads the time bars for each agent

well as you can see in vb6 I looped thru each agent in the agent table. and at the same time looped thru each transaction in the transaction table.

in vb6 it took 1-2 secs to load 4000 transactions

I can't seem to do the same in vb.net
I'm about to crack here.. please help

ok almost done here...  I need to know the data types and the column index of those fields in the "tblTransactions" table

TimeStart, TimeEnd, Date, Date   >>> you are inserting the "Date" field twice...

I'm adding one bar to the schedule.. each transac is only one day

so timestart, timeend, date start ,date end would only add one bar

I need to know the data types of those fields  :((

If you help.. by gosh I will name my first born after you...

lol... great...  
well...  you see this line...  
nbar = Me.ctSchedule0.AddTimeBar(nIndex, rst!TimeStart, rst!TimeEnd, rst!Date, rst!Date)
                                                                                                        ~~~~~~ ~~~~~
you are using same field values ... Is that what you want ??

agent id in both tables is datatype long
time start is Integer.. its the number of minutes from midnight so 600 would be 10am
time end is integer.. same as time start
date is long.. the number of days from 01/01/1900 so 38215 would be 08/18/04

I am using the dame value b/c its the date the bar is supposed to start and end.
the transaction table consist of a one transaction per day. so the start date is the same as the end date

I am getting a An Unhandled exception of type 'system.indexoutofRangeException' Occusred in system.data.dll
Addtional information: Index was outside the bounds of the array

location:
       nbar = Me.ctSchedule1.AddTimeBar(nIndex, OleDtRdr.GetInt32(4), OleDtRdr.GetInt32(5), OleDtRdr.GetValue(3), OleDtRdr.GetValue(3))

do not replace the indices as you are doing here...
nbar = Me.ctSchedule1.AddTimeBar(nIndex, OleDtRdr.GetInt32(4), OleDtRdr.GetInt32(5), OleDtRdr.GetValue(3), OleDtRdr.GetValue(3))

you are just reading three fields from transaction table... TimeStart, TimeEnd, Date/  Use what I have shown..

nbar = Me.ctSchedule1.AddTimeBar(nIndex, OleDtRdr.GetInt32(0), OleDtRdr.GetInt32(1), OleDtRdr.GetValue(2), OleDtRdr.GetValue(2))

sorry I think that might have been my fault..
I'm testing it again

see my SELECT statement...
SqlStr = "select TimeStart,TimeEnd,Date from tblTransactions where agent_id = " & strID

sorry I had been used to the table indices.. my fault.. well anyway.. it does work but it takes 1 to 2 min to pull just 1000 records..

Thank you for all your help by the way.. I don't think I would have gotten this far with out your help...My last strand of hair thanks you too..

you are welcome... glad that I could help.. :))

is there anyway to speed this up??

I would suggest, join the two tables in sql query and make it a single query. But, I guess here you can't do that , b/c you need...   nIndex = Me.ctSchedule0.AddItem(strID & ";" & strLname & ";" & StrFname)
and then you want to use that nIndex for nbar. I am not sure how to make it faster.

why does DAO load data so much faster?
