Can someone show me how to connect vb.net 2010 to ms access database to get the data and display it in vb.net application that I am doing right now. My project is that I am doing dictionary application with vb.net so every time i put new word in search box, I want the vb.net to get the definition from ms access and display it in the application.
And code snippet would be great or tutorial
'Grabs data from a table and posts it into a ListView
Dim Table_ As String = "Table1"
Dim query As String = "SELECT * FROM " & Table_
Dim MDBConnString_ As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=TestDatabase.mdb;"
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim cnn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(MDBConnString_)
cnn.Open()
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(query, cnn)
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd)
da.Fill(ds, Table_)
cnn.Close()
Dim t1 As DataTable = ds.Tables(Table_)
Dim row As DataRow
Dim Item(2) As String
For Each row In t1.Rows
Item(0) = row(0)
Item(1) = row(1)
Dim NextListItem As New ListViewItem(Item)
ListView1.Items.Add(NextListItem)
Next
