Interesting Access/VB.Net Question

Posted 23 October 2008 - 11:40 AM

I have an interesting question here. I have an Access 2007 database that I am connecting to and using just fine with the form I have. I very quickly realized that the data inside the database is of varying lengths so it is near impossible to add all the rows to a listbox or the like. :crazy:

Is there a better way to either format my rows in a listbox so they look more standardized or is there a way you can view the database table inside a form? I will be more than happy to post any relevant code if requested but I felt this was a general enough question. :^:

Did the datagrid not do something for you that it should? Hook your dataset up to a datagrid view and you should be fine.

Yeah I suppose that would be easier. I guess I was trying to make it harder than it really was haha. Thanks for the comment modi123_1 :^:
