OK here's my question. I want to retrieve from my database employee table all those employees with the name eg. Smith and display them in a list. Can anyone give me any pointers please. I'm using VB 2005 Express Edition. So far this is what I have but it only seems to return 1 row when I know there are more than one entries with the name I am inputting
PrivateSub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim searchString AsString
searchString = Me.SearchStringBox.Text
Try
Dim filter AsString
filter = "LastName LIKE '" & searchString & "'"
Dim search() As System.Data.DataRow
search = myCDDataSEt.ClientData.Select(filter)
If search.Length > 0 Then
'no code as yet
Else
MessageBox.Show("The client " & searchString & "is not in the database")
EndIf
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
EndTry
EndSub
All of the SQL that I see in this is LastName LIKE... If you want help with the SQL, you need to print it out and let us look at it. Otherwise, we need to move the thread over to a VB programming group to look at.|||Sorry thought I was in another forum. !
