I want to display some invoice details in a datagridview (dgv). I want the user to be able to click a check box, which I've added to the dgv, so that they can indicate whether they want the invoice amount or invoice total to be used in calculations on that invoice. There are boolean properties called UseInvAmount and UseInvTotal in the invoice object. I can get the check box to appear in the grid okay, but clicking on it does not make a check appear, even though the cellContentClick sub fires when the checkBox cell is clicked. I've got code that handles the 2 events: cellValueNeeded & cellValuePushed, and I've also added 2 event handlers to the dgv (DataGridViewCellEventHandler & DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler) and registered the dgv's "with events", but the cellValueNeeded and cellValuePushed code are not triggered by clicking on the checkboxes. Can anyone tell me what I've left out or how to make a checkbox click on & off, and work independently of another one?

i cannot understand your requirement fully pauki.the event CellValueChanged is fired after a checkbox is checked.but before handling that event u have to handle one more even ie CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged.i have given that code below
Private Sub DataGridView1_CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged
Try
If DataGridView1.IsCurrentCellDirty Then
DataGridView1.CommitEdit(DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.Commit)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
after that handle the event CellValueChanged like this
If e.RowIndex > 0 Then
If DataGridView1.Item(0, e.RowIndex).Value Then
MsgBox("hello")
End If
End If
if u need more explantion reply![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

thanx Shally,
I did actually try this code too,
and altho it fired, I was still bothered by the fact that it didn't automatically set the check in the box (I guess I could try to set the value in the checkbox, but instead I tried using 1 unbound checkbox, useInvTotal, rather than the 2 bound boolean properties, and that seemed to work). I can't believe that it's so complicated just to get a checkbox to write back to the db - (i.e. cellContentClick is also fired on clicking a cell, and all this need for cellValueNeeded, cellValuePushed etc. to set the initial values...) I'll see if I can get your suggestion to work anyway. thanks again, PK

hi all,
I have MS-Access database .So how i can protect by database from running malicious code.I think MS-Access don't provide Stored Procedure.So attacks are obvious on the database.
Thank You

You can write a type of proc for later versions of Access. For earlier versions, all you can do is sanitise the input yourself, the main thing is to make sure you double quotes, so " and ' become "" and '' within the string. If it's a string, it's going to be fine. If it terminates a string, then anything after it becomes SQL. You should do this anyhow, either get rid of quotes, or prepare them to be passed through to the database.

hi all,i'm using listview code by vb .net to display a information. how i can get the value from listview .
company customer value
------- --------- -----------
1 a 10
2 b 20
1 c 30
how i get the customer value in row 2, if my mouse click in row 2.
i read the data from the database and the columns sequence maybe change,
eg. the database fields is fldCom,fldCust,fldValue. i will retieve the fldcust only.
eg. fldcust in columns 2 and after change fldcust will in columns 3.
retrive it without know the index.
thank's in advance for your help

Hi
I am working on login form using VB 2005 and sql 2000 i made 2 text boxes and 2 buttons
on click on ok button it will cal the follwing function
EmployeeCode = txtEmployeeCode.Text
EmployeePassword = txtEmployeePassword.Text
ConnectionString = "Data Source=HAKMEH;Initial Catalog=HMS;Integrated Security=True"
Login(ConnectionString, EmployeeCode, EmployeePassword)
THE FUNCTION IS :
Public Sub Login(ByVal ConnectionString As String, ByVal EmployeeCode As String, ByVal EmployeePassword As String)
Dim ds As New DataSet
ds.Clear()
Dim MyConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim SelectQuery As String = "Select EmployeeCode,EmployeePassword from tblEmployees where EmployeeCode = ('" & txtEmployeeCode.Text & "') and EmployeePassword = ('" &_ txtEmployeePassword.Text & "')"
Dim adapter As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
Dim MyCommand As New SqlCommand(SelectQuery, MyConnection)
MyConnection.Open()
Dim Command As String = MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery
**** adapter.Fill(ds, "tblEmployees") ****
Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables(0)
If dt.Rows.Count <> 0 Then
frmAdministrator.Show()
Else
MsgBox("You are not Authorized to access")
End If
MyConnection.Close()
End Sub
when it comes to the line with stars it gave me the follwoing message
The SelectCommand property has not been initialized before calling 'Fill'.
so where is the error

You need to change all of this:
1 - your SQL retrieves the correct user password, so anyone who had access to the code, could find out the password.
2 - you're just inserting text from a textbox, which means someone who is not logged in can erase your entire database. Read up on SQL injection attacks.
The code looks wrtong, you create a command, open the connection manually, call ExecuteNonQuery ( this is definately wrong, as it doesn't return a result, why would you run it that way ? ), and then try to fill the dataste from the adapter ?

Then this is a ridiculous thing for you to be working on. Buy a book on VB.NET that teaches the most basic concepts, and work through that before you start writing applications with login pages.

Hmmm, I think the OP should learn how to prevent sql injection attacks now, so he can develop careful coding habits...

Yeah - that's the point I wanted to make. Saying 'I just want this to work badly' doesn't cut it. I meant to drive home that what he's writing cannot be used, although I may have implied it was OK to write bad code in that case, I was assuming he expects to use it, and therefore would realise he needs to do it properly.

You should know how to prevent them so you can get in the habit if you are going to write code that access databases...
Preventing SQL Injection Attacks[^] is a great article on this site, and it is a fairly easy reading

There's a bunch of problems here. Where do we start...
First, the connection string shouldn't be passed into functions that use SQL, unless you're doing something very special. A login check doesn't count. Have the connection string retrieved from a Shared method or just get a SqlConnection object from a Shared method. It should get the connection string itself.
Public Class SqlHelpers
Public Shared Function GetSqlConnection() As SqlConnection
Dim connStr As String = GetSqlConnectionString() ' You have to define this method!
Dim newConn As New SqlConnection(connStr)
Return newConn
End Function
Public Shared Function GetSqlConnectionString() As String
' You would normally get the connection string from the app.config file, or some other
' source. With a few changes, this could also support multiple connection strings for
' multiple databases and database types quite easily.
'
' In this example, we'll just return the string you have.
Return "Data Source=HAKMEH;Initial Catalog=HMS;Integrated Security=True;"
End Function
Now, moving on to the actual SQL stuff. You created a DataAdapter and a seperate command, executing the same SQL twice in two different ways. This is, of course, really bad practice. You don't use a DataAdapter for a query like this. All you want is a yes or no answer from the database. You don't retrieve the users ID and password from it!
Also, you made the typical newbie mistake in your SQL by using string concatenation to build your SQL statement, opening yourself to really bad SQL Injection attacks.
Use parameterized queries to block a bunch of injection attacks and it also does the job of escaping special characters for you.
You also didn't validate any of the data comming from the TextBoxes. Rule #1: NEVER trust any data comming from the user.
And you're storing passwords in clear text in the database. If your system is worth securing, secure the passwords from prying eyes, encrypt them! This isn't just a security risk to your app, but to every other system on your network too. People tend to use the same passwords for multiple systems. Don't give anyone a way of easily finding out what that password is and unlocking every system the user has access to.
A better SQL statement would be something like:
SELECT COUNT(UserId) FROM tblEmployees WHERE EmployeeCode=@EmployeeCode AND EmployeePassword=@Password
Note the two parameters with the "@" signs in front of them. They'll get fill in with this:
Public Function Login(ByVal EmployeeCode As String, ByVal EmployeePassword As String) As Boolean
Using conn As SqlConnection = GetSqlConnection()
Dim SelectQuery As String = "SELECT COUNT(UserId) FROM tblEmployees WHERE EmployeeCode=@EmployeeCode AND EmployeePassword=@Password"
Dim comm As New SqlCommand(SelectQuery, conn)
comm.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@EmployeeCode", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25)).Value = EmployeeCode
comm.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@EmployeePassword", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25)).Value = EmployeePassword
Dim result As Integer
conn.Open()
result = comm.ExecuteScalar
If result > 1 Then
' Something weird happened. We had more than one user with the same ID in the database!
' Yikes! Someone is going to get shot over this one! :(
' Handle this error however you want.
End If
' If the result came back 1, the login was successfull, otherwise it should be 0.
' So, If result = 1, return True to the caller so it knows the login was successfull.
Return (result = 1)
End Using
End Function
This is by no means a completely secure solution, and is, frankly, "hacked together", but it's stronger than what you had. You would still need to add encryption for the password, making it even stronger. As well as transferring the SQL to an Sql Stored Procedure.

If that is complicated, you should see the multi-threaded invitation-to-renew* plug-in that I'm writing just now for the document delivery system that I wrote last year.

No, I just mean from the newbie's point of view. "Bang out a "simple" little login form - no problem!" - yeah right. Until you sit down and think about it. BOOM! Their brains explode forth like biscuit dough out of a can.
I'm quite familiar with the headaches, and rewards, of multithreading. The hard prt is explaining all the pitfalls to someone who has a hell of a time writing a login form!

That's quite an image. I have a very vivid vision of that in my head now.

Any pointers/samples on how I can pass a string from a Vb.NET dll to a C++ dll and vice versa would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
That depends on what the C++ code is expecting, l;ike what type of string and if your expect that string to be modified by the code your calling and how you're calling it. This[^] is about the only guide that covers most of the possiblities.

Thank you for the reply and link, Dave.
The "C" dll passes a "char*" as input parameter to the VB.NET dll. The VB.NET dll "receives" this input param as a "String" object. This String object is not manipulated/modified by the VB.NET dll - essentially it is a path to a file that it reads and performs a base64 conversion. The base64 converted "String" object is then passed back to the "C" dll.
