VB

Public Sub increment()



        If cnn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
            cnn.Open()

        End If

        Dim bookid As Double
        bookid = ds.Tables(0).Compute("Max(Book_id)", Nothing)

        TextBox14.Text = bookid + 1


 End Sub

'This code works but not instantly. When I click the button where the sub function inrement() is being called works fine, but when I click the button to add next record, the textbox gets the same value. So, eventually, adding first record works fine but when I click the button to increment the value by 1 as I want to add next record it gets the same value. I'm having to close and reopen the form every time I want the value to be incremented. So I'm wondering if somebody could help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

Solution 2

It happens because Your dataset returns cached value.

Try this...

VB

If cnn.state<>1
   cnn.open()
End If

cmd.commandText="select max(id) from table"
Textbox1.text=cmd.ExecuteScalar()

Solution 1

In the database i.e. dataset, you are not updating the booking id here. So everytime you say max(book_id), it will keep giving you same number.
Either this is the problem, or you have not showed us the remainder of the code.
