Hi to all
I have find out this problem.
using outlook namespaceclass object you can use pickfolder method. using this it will open dialog box and allow you to create new folder and also choose already created folder.
for example:
dim outlookNameSpace as outlook.namespace
myFolder = outlookNameSpace.PickFolder

Hi, I'm looking to create a database within my program. I was planning on using a record type, following something my teacher has said about it being similar to an array. However, having looked for this record type, I figure it must have been for an older version of visal basic.
Is there a way that I can create a database, similar to an array? I'd like to keep it within visual basic if possible, rather than using access, as seems to be quite common.

An array is not a database.
The only thing you can do that somewhat is similar to a database is use a datatable / dataset
But anything you store in there is just in memory and will be lost on exiting the program.

Not really, sql-express is common.
What are you trying to do here?

I'm planning on saving the data in a text file, to be loaded on starting the program, so the data wouldn't be lost.
I want to avoid using access if possible, as the machine this program will eventually be used on doesn't have access.
What I'm acutally trying to do is, or at least i thought, quite simple. It'll effectively be a small database of the members of a Brownie pack, with names, address, phone number etc stored in different fields.

You don't need to have access installed to use it in a .NET program.
So for something this simple I'd suggest using access instead of a text file.
|
|
|
|
|
The entries for the database are going to be entered via visual basic by my user, and the access file won't exist til she creates entries. Is this going to be possible?
|
|
|
|
|
Well you could create the access file when you need to but I don't see the point in it.
Just have a empty access database with the needed tables installed along with the program. Then enter the data as needed.
It will make searching the data easier.
You can always go for the XML option Dave told you about.
|
|
|
|
|
So long as you're not going to be doing any SQL queries against this "database", you can just create a collection of "Member" objects and serialize that collection to an XML file to save it. Upon the next start of your app, deserialize the XML file back into the collection.
|
|
|
|
|
Can you explain a bit more about using an 'XML file'? Again, its not something I've used before.
I'll want to be able to search for records by a couple of different fields, and display parts of the records in different text boxes. Would I be able to do that?

Suspect what your teacher referred to was a RecordSet which is ADO technology. With the introduction of ADO.NET RecordSets have been superceded with DataTables and DataSets .

Do datatables or datasets work in a similar way to arrays? Are they purely contained within visual basic? (with any text files for saving or equivilent)

Do you want to create a database-file (in any format, say Access), or do you want to create your own database-driver (your own Access, so to speak)?
outhwaik wrote: Is there a way that I can create a database, similar to an array?
Yup, just open Microsoft Access and create a table with a single column. That's a one-dimensional array.
outhwaik wrote: I'd like to keep it within visual basic if possible, rather than using access, as seems to be quite common.
That's quite common indeed, because Access is good at storing data, and it's usually faster/cheaper than rolling-your-own.

I'd prefer to avoid using Access if possible, as I've said, the machine this will eventually be used on doesn't have access, hence the fact I'd rather save data in text files (or alternative).
I'm reasonably competent at using arrays, I just wondered if there was an 'array' where different datatypes could be stored in different 'columns'. It now seems the solution may not be quite that simple

The machine doesn't need to have Microsoft Access installed. You can create and manipulate databases without the Access-application.

Maybe you could use an embedded Db such as SQL CE or SqlLite?

I'm unfamiliar with these methods (hence the fact that I've come here looking for help!)
Are any of these methods entirely contained within visual basic, and relatively simple to use?
|
|

SQL Compact Edition comes as a DLL that you reference in your project. Very simple to use and you can use the Database Editor in Visual Studio to work with the files - Also woks via SSMS.
SqlLite is similar - has a nice addin admin console, small footprint and is pretty speedy.
I wont do it for you, but Google SQL CE and SqlLite - you will be surprised at the info out there.

What you are looking for is dataset and datatable (as stated by others) these have a WriteXML and ReadXML methods. This will allow you to persist your data across sessions. The only real issues is you have to manually construct the dataset/table before you can use it. You may want to look at this article[^], it uses this method.

To connect to a Database their are several ways and most commonly used are the datasets or to create your Objects , i always prefers creating objects but have seen most of the ppl using datasets , which one is better Objects or Datasets , regarding application performance point of view
