OK, try writing the SQL to alter the table and running it from code.

I have a number of users running this application in remote locations.
Of course, they cannot lose their existing data.
It was requested that I include a column called "CaseNbr" in the table.
The file that I need to add the column to is an SQL table that is being updated via a DataGridView.
I think that it was a mistake to add the column via DataSet Designer, so, I restored my project from a backup eliminating that step.
So, now the column does not exist in the database and I am back to square one.
I would like to add the column to the SQL tables via my app so that my various users can have it added to their databases. Every user has his own database.
There is only one program that accesses the table and it is very simple.
The user selects (or adds) a row (Patient record) then the program simply passes that Patient's info to the main form of the application.
I know nothing about SQL. There are no SQL statements in my app. Everything is done by TableAdapter and BindingSource statements like:
Me.PatientTableAdapter.Fill(Me.PatientDataSet.Patient)
PatientBindingSource.Position = Form1.DefaultPatient
That's why I don't know how to add a column to the SQL table.

I added the following statement to my program:
Me.PatientDataSet.Patient.Columns.Add("CaseNbr", Type.GetType("System.String"))
But it did not do anything.
I added the statement as the first command in the Form Load routine:
Public Class Patient
Public Sub Patient_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.PatientDataSet.Patient.Columns.Add("CaseNbr", Type.GetType("System.String"))
Me.PatientTableAdapter.Fill(Me.PatientDataSet.Patient)
PatientBindingSource.Position = Form1.DefaultPatient
End Sub

You cannot add a column to the database by addings it to the dataset. You have to write the SQL statement to modify the SQL stored database and execute it from your code. THEN you can modify your application to support the new database schema.

Ok, I don't actually have any customers, yet.
But, I have one beta tester using it live and he cannot lose the data that he has entered so far.
I am thinking ahead - if I had to add a column to a table after I have a number of users with their own databases, I have to be able to add a column programmatically. I have exactly that situation right now even though I only have one user.
It is probably a total of 3 statements that I would have to add to my Visual Basic 2005 program. One of them is:
ALTER TABLE Patient ADD CaseNbr Varchar(10)
But, I don't know what the other 2 are.

OK, here is my programming attempt:
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim sqlConnection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\patient.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
Dim command As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
command.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE Patient ADD CaseNbr Varchar(50)')"
sqlConnection.Open()
command.ExecuteNonQuery()
sqlConnection.Close()
End Sub
End Class
I got the following error when I executed:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Add Column\Add Column\bin\Debug\patient.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

Here is another attempt:
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim Sql As String = "ALTER TABLE Patient ADD CaseNbr Varchar(50)"
Using connection As New OleDbConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Provider=SQLOLEDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Patient.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
Using command As New OleDbCommand(Sql, connection)
connection.Open()
command.ExecuteNonQuery()
connection.Close()
End Using
End Using
End Sub
End Class
It aborted with the following message:
No error message available, result code: DB_E_ERRORSOCCURRED(0x80040E21).

The connection string is wrong. You haven't told it what the database name is. Without that, it'll try to attach the same database file again, resulting in the error you got.
Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|mydbfile.mdf;Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;

I ran the above code as a separate project.
Now, when I attempt to run my main application, it bombs out immediately with this same error!
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Add Column\Add Column\bin\Debug\patient.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

Hello,
I want to show database information in a listbox using a SELECT query.
Something like:
lstGeselecteerdeagenten.Items.AddRange(daGroepAgent.SelectCommand(SELECT * FROM daGroepAgent))
??????????
|
|
|
|
|
You're going to have to seperate this. At least until the new version of VB.NET comes out.
Create a method that queries the database for the fields you want in the ListBox and returns it in DataTable. Then bind the ListBox to the DataTable and your done. There's no reason to use the Items.Add method.

Error 1 Column, parameter, or variable #1: Cannot find data type GL_Record. Clrtest

This code will compile and deploy when the Sql Server attribute is omitted but then t_sql cannot see it.

It's saying that the type GLRecord doesn't exist, at least not in the StoredProcedures class or namespace.
Why are you using "On Error Goto" when it's been deprecated by Try/Catch?

What attribute? Let see the definition as it's supposed to be written.
