argument out of range parameter name index - sql-server

since i have the code of the auto generated text box
Insert data from auto generated textbox to SQL Server database
i am try to write a code for ensuring of the auto generated text box in FlowLayoutPanel1 contain data
the auto generated text box build depends on the number in Val(Label2.Text) of the real part
and if any text box is null or empty then the process will stop until fill all fields
the auto generated text box will be like this if the Val(Label2.Text)
is equal to 3
so i try this in the save button
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
For k As Integer = 1 To Val(Label2.Text)
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls(i).Text) Then
MsgBox("Error , fill all text box")
Return
Else
UpdateUsers()
i += 1
End If
Next
MsgBox("Done , add all data to database ")
Button3.Enabled = False
End Sub
so i getting error after leave some text box and back to fill it again
and the all of form code is

thank u

I think you need to move dim i Integer=0 to local variable in the Button3_click method. ANd Pass i to the UpdateUser call (add the param to UpdateUser). The current global i keeps adding 1 and eventually out of range.

Moving file contents into an array

Im currently working on getting this piece of code to work so that I can read a text file, move the contents into an array and then display a certain column (such as price)
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Dim FileName As String
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim Alpha As Integer = 0
Dim Products(31) As String
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FileName = "Products.txt"
End Sub
Private Sub btnCreateArray_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnCreateArray.Click
Using MyReader As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser("Products.txt")
MyReader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
MyReader.SetDelimiters(",")
Dim currentRow As String()
While Not MyReader.EndOfData
currentRow = MyReader.ReadFields()
Dim currentField As String
For Each currentField In currentRow
'MsgBox(currentField)
'txtShowNo.Text = currentField
'txtShowP.Text = i
i = i + 1
Products(i) = currentField
Next
End While
End Using
Do While Alpha <= i
If InStr((txtFileSearch.Text), (Products(Alpha))) Then
lstDisplayFile.Items.Add(Products(Alpha))
Alpha = Alpha + 1
End If
Loop
End Sub
Private Sub btn_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btn.Click
txtFileSearch.Text = ""
End Sub
Private Sub btnAddToFilePrintFile_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnAddToFilePrintFile.Click
Dim Name As String
Dim SName As String
Dim IDNo As Integer
Name = txtName.Text
SName = txtSName.Text
IDNo = txtIDNo.Text
FileOpen(1, FileName, OpenMode.Append) ' create a new empty file & open it in append mode'
WriteLine(1, IDNo, Name, SName) ' Writes a line of data'
FileClose(1)
txtName.Text = ""
txtSName.Text = ""
txtIDNo.Text = ""
txtName.Focus()
End Sub
End Class
The program crashes on this line of code:
lstDisplayFile.Items.Add(Products(Alpha))
along with the following message :
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Alpha is my counter, and my thought process behind this was that if the input within the textbox is currently in the array, it will display the completed text in the array.
Here is the current contents within my text file :
"£5.00","50"
"£2.50","30"
If anyone could help me solve this I would be appreciative :)

How to automate changes in stored procedures in SQL Server?

I've got two databases in SQL Server where one database (ConfigDb) references other (DataDb). Many of stored procedures and functions in ConfigDb uses tables and functions/SPs in DataDb. They are referenced like [DataDb].[dbo].[the_object].
Now, I would need to clone the databases to test version, i.e. restore them from backups as ConfigDb_Test and DataDb_Test. Obviously, ConfigDb_Test references DataDb, not the DataDb_Test.
Any tips how to handle this better than opening SP by SP and edit manually?
EDIT
For refernce, I put the utility at GitHub
OK, it is in VB (not c#) -- and I'm not a .net guy, so I'm sure there's a better way to do this.
I caution you to step through and observe the code work, but I use this a lot, and it works great!
Once you enter your servername/credentials, a list of db's will appear (system db's are excluded). Select the db's you want to run against (check list) and enter the find/replace text strings. When you click start, each proc will be opened/scanned, and a REPLACE() is run on matching strings -- so be careful what you put in the FIND/REPLACE text boxes!
Here it goes...
Please, be careful with this, and use at your own risk.

VB.NET | Array of pictureboxes in panel: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

In the code below I am attempting to change the tag of an existing control that was created in the array 'pictureboxes(9, 9)'. When I try to do this, I get the error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'. This is done in the checkdata sub, near the bottom of the code with the comment 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'.
The string that is passed through to the sub is a long string of numbers, and the pictureboxes are placed into a layoutpanel if that is helpful.
I understand what this error means, I am aware that pictureboxes(i, j) is = nothing when breakpointed; I just don't know how to fix it :s
Any help is greatly appreciated and hopefully I will be quick to answer any comments/answers.
Thank you

Where are you actually updating the database?
Read one more paragraph in that tutorial:
Close down your programme, then run it again. Click the Next Record button to move to the first record. It will still be "John Smith". The data you updated has been lost! So here, again, is why:
"Changes are made to the DataSet, and NOT to the Database"
The tutorial shows you how to persist those changes to the database:
da.Update(ds, "AddressBook")
Edit: It would also appear that you're making a mistake on lines like this:
txtFirstName.Text = ds.Tables("Users").Rows(inc).Item(1) = txtFirstName.Text
This may behave differently in different languages. In C# for example, I think that the result of an assignment is the value being assigned, so something like this might work. But in VB there are semantic contextual differences when using the same operator. The assignment operator (=) is also the comparison operator, depending on the context.
So I suspect that this line of code is comparing the latter two items, and assigning the result of the comparison (True or False) to the first item.
Stick with what the tutorial is showing you, just assign the value to the data:
ds.Tables("Users").Rows(inc).Item(1) = txtFirstName.Text
There's no need to also try to assign the value back to the text box where you got the value, since logically that value is already there.

Visual Basic & SQL Picturebox Controls

Using picture boxes overlaid onto an image as seen below.
Click for Form Layout
When the form loads if the student attends the class then the picturebox becomes a green tick. If the student does not attend the class the picturebox becomes blank.
Using SQL I can query the database to return all the classes that a specific student attends.
These classes are stored in an array StudentClass(n)
There are 50 classes on the timetable stored in an array AttendsClass(n). All with a default value of False.
If the student attends a class then the specific attendsclass in the array becomes True.
Once the form is loaded the user can click on a picturebox to select that class and the corresponding attendsclass in the array becomes true.
Finally the user saves the form, inserting the classes back into the database.
The problem I have is in the Sub Form4_Load at the end, I currently have to repeat the same block of code 50 times. That simply checks if the student attends the class then sets the picture box = to an image of a tick on the GUI (_new.jpg).
enter code here
If AttendsClass(1) = True Then
PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
If AttendsClass(2) = True Then
PictureBox2.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
If AttendsClass(3) = True Then
PictureBox3.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
If AttendsClass(4) = True Then
PictureBox4.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
Is it possible to put this into a loop to shorten my code. The code does work but its slow and lengthy so any improvements would be helpful.
