Delete Datagridview rows as well as in my access database vb.net

Question

this is my code for loading the data in my database going to my datagrid

Private Sub Records_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Ace.Oledb.12.0; Data Source=" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath.ToString() & "\BackUp\Database3.Accdb;"
        Dim MyConn As OleDbConnection
        Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
        Dim ds As DataSet
        Dim tables As DataTableCollection
        Dim source1 As New BindingSource
        MyConn = New OleDbConnection
        MyConn.ConnectionString = connString
        ds = New DataSet
        tables = ds.Tables
        da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from [userinfo] ORDER BY ID", MyConn) 'Change items to your database name
        da.Fill(ds, "userinfo") 'Change items to your database name
        Dim cb = New OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
        Dim view As New DataView(tables(0))
        source1.DataSource = view
        DataGridView1.DataSource = view
    End Sub

and this is my delete button to delete a selected row in datagrid but the whole table is deleted instead (i know this cause i put it to delete the whole table just to know my sql is working)

Private Sub cmdDelete_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdDelete.Click
    Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Ace.Oledb.12.0; Data Source=" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath.ToString() & "\BackUp\Database3.Accdb;"
    Dim MyConn As OleDbConnection
    Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
    Dim ds As DataSet
    Dim tables As DataTableCollection
    Dim source1 As New BindingSource
    Dim row As New Integer
    Try
        MyConn = New OleDbConnection
        MyConn.ConnectionString = connString
        ds = New DataSet
        tables = (ds.Tables)
        da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Delete * from [userinfo]", MyConn)
        da.Fill(ds, "userinfo")
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    End Try

i want to delete a selected row in my datagrid. thank you in advance

Answer 1

Delete * from [userinfo] will delete everything in the table. Pass your ID to be deleted. Eg. Delete * from [userinfo] where ID=5

You can use Datagridview.SelectedRows Property to find the selected Rows. Pass the ID Column index and you will get the ID.

Eg. "Delete * from [userinfo] where ID=" & DataGridView1.SelectedRows(0).Cells(0).Value.ToString()

If you Allow Multi-Select, Loop through the rows to delete. Also use parameters to pass variables to queries for security purposes.

Sorry my bad English. Step 1: Listen to click on a Datagrid

Private Sub datagridview_CellClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles datagridview.CellClick

Step 2: Get what column click

datagridview.Rows.Item(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value

Step 3: Delete from Database

Dim sqlcmd As String = "delete  from [userinfo] where YourColumn = '" & datagridview.Rows.Item(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value & "'"

Fully code:

Private Sub Datagridview_CellClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView.CellClick
        Try
            Dim MyConn As OleDbConnection
            Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Ace.Oledb.12.0; Data Source=" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath.ToString() & "\BackUp\Database3.Accdb;"
            MyConn = New OleDbConnection
            Dim cmdstr As String = "delete * from [userinfo] where YourColumn = '" & DataGridView.Rows.Item(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value & "'"
            Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(cmdstr, MyConn)
            MyConn.Open()
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
            MyConn.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
 End Sub

The way to refer to deleted row values is row original value from deleted rows table:

dt is datasource of datagridview
Dim dtDelete As DataTable = dt.GetChanges(DataRowState.Deleted)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GridValue", r("Gridcolumn", DataRowVersion.Original))

the example is SQL but method is not specific
