Good morning. Currently I'm rebuilding one application and I don't understand one thing. Program read data from SQL and write this data to datagridview. Everything is OK, only last penultimate 8 records is not written to datagridview. What can be reason of that?

What I have tried:

VB
<pre>Private Sub FillFirstMeter(Index As Integer, FirstID As Integer, LastID As Integer)
        Me.Refresh()
        Dim rowNR As Integer = 0
        Dim Connection As New 
         SqlClient.SqlConnection(STR_SQLConnectionString)
        Dim DATE_TIME_VALUE As Date
        Dim METER_VALUE As Integer
        DG_Search.Rows.Add(LastID - FirstID)
        DG_Search.Refresh()

        For ID = FirstID To LastID
            Connection.Close()

            'GET DATE TIME FROM FIRST METER
            Query = String.Empty
            Query = "SELECT DATE_TIME FROM Meter_ID_" & Index & " WHERE ID=" 
             & ID
            Dim Command As New SqlClient.SqlCommand(Query, Connection)
            Connection.Open()
            DATE_TIME_VALUE = Command.ExecuteScalar
            Command.Dispose()
            Connection.Close()
            DG_Search.Rows(rowNR).Cells(Index - 1).Value = DATE_TIME_VALUE


            'GET VALUE FROM FIRST METER
            Query = String.Empty
            Query = "SELECT VALUE FROM Meter_ID_" & Index & " WHERE ID="
             & ID
            Command = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(Query, Connection)
            Connection.Open()
            METER_VALUE = Command.ExecuteScalar
            Command.Dispose()
            Connection.Close()
            DG_Search.Rows(rowNR).Cells(Index + 1).Value = METER_VALUE
            DG_Search.Rows(rowNR).Cells(Index).Value = ID
            If rowNR < RECORDS_COUNT Then
                rowNR += 1
            End If
            Debug.WriteLine(rowNR & Space(1) & ID & Space(1) & 
              DATE_TIME_VALUE & Space(1) & METER_VALUE)
        Next
        DG_Search.Refresh()
    End Sub
<pre>For testing purposes  into code of writing values to datagridview I put also debug.writeline and here is everything OK, also last penultimate 8 values is here.

Can't do anything without seeing your code.

1 solution

At a guess, it's the RECORDS_COUNT that's too small - but we can't see where that is set. If it's too small, the final record will be overwritten multiple times and you will get a difference between the DGV rows and the printed output.
Use the debugger (rather than Debug.WriteLine) and follow exactly what the code does while it is running and you'll see what I mean, and be able to see what RECORDS_COUNT actually is compared to the number of rows processed.

But ... don't do it like that! Never concatenate strings to build a SQL command. It leaves you wide open to accidental or deliberate SQL Injection attack which can destroy your entire database. Always use Parameterized queries instead.

When you concatenate strings, you cause problems because SQL receives commands like:
SQL
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'Baker's Wood'
The quote the user added terminates the string as far as SQL is concerned and you get problems. But it could be worse. If I come along and type this instead: "x';DROP TABLE MyTable;--" Then SQL receives a very different command:
SQL
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'x';DROP TABLE MyTable;--'
Which SQL sees as three separate commands:
SQL
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'x';
A perfectly valid SELECT
SQL
DROP TABLE MyTable;
A perfectly valid "delete the table" command
SQL
--'
And everything else is a comment.
So it does: selects any matching rows, deletes the table from the DB, and ignores anything else.

So ALWAYS use parameterized queries! Or be prepared to restore your DB from backup frequently. You do take backups regularly, don't you?

Thanks for answer. The problem was in RECORDS_COUNT.
