Hi, I seem to have hit a problem when try to drag data from an Access file. I know I can do it as I've populated some combo boxes using pretty much the same code, however, the code below is returning nothing and I cannot see why!
Any help would be appreciated 8---> private void searchInformation(List<string> detail, List<bool> opts) { int id = 0; string commandString = "Select TutorID from TutorNames WHERE Name = '" + detail[0] + "'"; OleDbCommand objCommand = new OleDbCommand(commandString, conn); conn.Open(); OleDbDataReader reader = objCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read() == true) { try { id = (int)reader["TutorID"]; } catch (Exception e) { } } conn.Close(); if (id == 0) { MessageBox.Show(detail[0] + " doesn't exist on the database", "Database", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error); return; } MessageBox.Show(detail[0] + " exists, ID = " + id.ToString(), "Database"); <---8 details[0] contains the name to be searched for (directly from a TextBox). TutorID exists in the TutorNames table and for test purposes, I'm using data that I know exists. The only thing I can think of is that there are some escape characters at the end of the text (either being passed in or in the database) - everything else seems valid. I have tried "Select * from TutorNames where Name = '" + details[0] + "'" to see if I can see TutorID, but nothing is being returned. Additionally, I've tried another tack using a DataSet and DataTable in a similar way to the ways shown on MSDN, but still nothing. Any clues would be appreciated! Thanks Paul
