WPF CRUD With DataGrid, Entity Framework And VB.NET

Image
Good morning! Here's the VB.NET version of this post WPF CRUD with DataGrid and Entity Framework C# . The steps to accomplish basing from the C# post are: a. Run the create table script assuming that you haven't created the Students table. b. Create a VB.NET WPF project. c. Replace the XAML markup of the window control. Once done, the scripts for the repository class and window code-behind are as follows: Repository Class Public Class StudentRepository Private studentContext As StudentEntities = Nothing Public Sub New () studentContext = New StudentEntities() End Sub Public Function GetStudent ( ByVal id As Integer ) As Student Return studentContext.Students.Find(id) End Function Public Function GetAll () As List( Of Student) Return studentContext.Students.ToList() End Function Public Sub AddStudent ( ByVal student As Student) If student IsNot Nothing Then ...

WPF CRUD With DataGrid, Entity Framework And C#.NET

Image
Good evening! Here's a simple WPF CRUD(Create/Update/Delete) application using DataGrid and Entity Framework. This doesn't involve the MVVM pattern and input validation. Maybe if I have time, in the future I'll post an MVVM equivalent post ( Update: I already have additional examples using RepoDB ORM and MVVM pattern in both C# and VB.NET at the end of this article ). So to proceed, execute the SQL script below and make sure to replace the database name with an existing one. USE [your_database] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[Students] Script Date: 3/31/2018 11:24:23 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Students]( [ID] [ int ] IDENTITY ( 1 , 1 ) NOT NULL , [Name] [ varchar ]( 50 ) NULL , [Age] [ int ] NULL , [Address] [ varchar ]( 50 ) NULL , [Contact] [ varchar ]( 50 ) NULL , CONSTRAINT [PK_Students] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC ) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF , STATISTICS_N...

Bootstrap DatePicker Arrow Appears At The Bottom of Calendar

Image
Hi, I was asked by a developer on how to fix the arrow which appears at the bottom of the calendar dropdown and not below the textbox. This issue was raised in my previous post Bootstrap DatePicker Control in ASP.NET Webforms . The solution is to reference the bootstrap-datepicker.css instead of bootstrap-datepicker3.standalone.css <link rel= "stylesheet" href= "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.6.1/css/bootstrap-datepicker.css" /> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "Scripts/bootstrap.min.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.6.1/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" > Output ...

Alternative To Union In T-SQL

Good morning! In the event that you need to replace your queries using Union such as below: Use DBJersonsHW go SELECT DISTINCT [EmpName] AS [EmployeeName], EmpAddress As [Address] FROM tblEmployeesMain UNION SELECT DISTINCT [EmpName] AS [EmployeeName], EmpAddress As [Address] FROM tblEmployeesMetro ORDER BY [EmpName]; The alternative for that is to use Full Outer Join as presented below: Use DBJersonsHW go SELECT Distinct Coalesce(tblEmployeesMain.EmpName, tblEmployeesMetro.EmpName) AS EmployeeName, Coalesce(tblEmployeesMain.EmpAddress, tblEmployeesMetro.Address) AS Address, FROM tblEmployeesMain FULL Outer JOIN tblEmployeesMetro on tblEmployeesMain.EmpName = tblEmployeesMetro.EmpName order by EmpName Cheers! :-)

How To Read XML File Using DataTable.ReadXml() In C#

Image
Good afternoon friends! In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to read an XML file using DataTable's ReadXml() method. While reading a file using DataSet's ReadXml() method is straightforward, using the DataTable's method might cause run-time or logical bugs. One example is that when using the DataTable's ReadXml() function, the DataTable object does not contain any records or nothing at all given that fact that the method has successfully executed. To proceed, we will read an XML file below called books.xml taken from MSDN page using DataTable's ReadXml() method. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <catalog> <book id= "bk101" > <author> Gambardella, Matthew </author> <title> XML Developer's Guide </title> <genre> Computer </genre> <price> 44.95 </price> <publish_date> 2000-10-01 </publish_date> <description...

Converting Rows To Columns With DateTime Column In SQL Server

Good evening! An issue was brought up by a developer on how to convert rows of DateTime values into columns using MS Access DB with functionality similar to pivoting of MSSQL.The problem has an added complexity since specific portions of the DateTime will be extracted too. See original post here: Converting Columns to Rows in MS Access . The data presented is similar to a Timesheet entry wherein an employee has login/logout records. The solution presented in the thread involves usage of subquery and joins designed for MS Access Db. I modified the accepted answer to a T-SQL query using Group By, Max() function, Coalesce() and without subquery. SELECT LogInfo.fldMachineId, Year (LogInfo.fldLogDate) as [ Year ], Month (LogInfo.fldLogDate) as [ Month ], Day (LogInfo.fldLogDate) as [ Day ], Max (Coalesce( Convert ( varchar ( 5 ), T2.fldLogDate, 108 ), '' )) as TimeIn1, Max (Coalesce( Convert ( varchar ( 5 ), T3.fldLogDate, 108 ), '' )) as TimeOut1, ...

Repeater Web Server Control In ASP.NET Web Forms With Bootstrap And Entity Framework

Image
Happy New Year! This post will illustrate on how to apply Bootstrap styling to a Repeater control given that the template used will be a Table element. To begin with, create an ASP.NET WebForm project. This application will retrieve Employee information from Northwinds database. Add an ADO.NET Entity Framework 6.0 to your project which will hook up with the Employee table. Add a WebForm page to your solution then drag a Repeater control inside the div tag below the form tag. Make sure to reference the bootstrap file in your head tag. The Repeater control will utilize the table element as it's template for displaying employee information. For the record, the employee photo will be shown on the left column, while the personal details are presented on the right column. The table also made use of Bootstrap's table css classes. <head runat= "server" > <title></title> <link href= "Content/bootstrap.css" rel= "stylesheet...
