I am building an application that I have to declare 2 variables for every form and pass them to my SQL Stored procedures. I have the following code:
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Main
Dim instForm2 As New Exceptions
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles startpayrollButton.Click
Dim ssql As String = "select MAX(payrolldate) AS [payrolldate], " & _
"dateadd(dd, ((datediff(dd, '17530107', MAX(payrolldate))/7)*7)+7, '17530107') AS [Sunday]" & _
"from dbo.payroll" & _
" where payrollran = 'no'"
Dim oCmd As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim oDr As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader
oCmd = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Try
With oCmd
.Connection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=mdr;Data Source=xxxxx;uid=xxxxx;password=xxxxx")
.Connection.Open()
.CommandType = CommandType.Text
.CommandText = ssql
oDr = .ExecuteReader()
End With
If oDr.Read Then
payPeriodStartDate = oDr.GetDateTime(1)
payPeriodEndDate = payPeriodStartDate.AddDays(7)
Dim ButtonDialogResult As DialogResult
ButtonDialogResult = MessageBox.Show(" The Next Payroll Start Date is: " & payPeriodStartDate.ToString() & System.Environment.NewLine & " Through End Date: " & payPeriodEndDate.ToString())
If ButtonDialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
exceptionsButton.Enabled = True
startpayrollButton.Enabled = False
End If
End If
oDr.Close()
oCmd.Connection.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
oCmd.Connection.Close()
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles exceptionsButton.Click
Dim sql As String = "SELECT [Exceptions].Employeenumber,[Exceptions].exceptiondate, [Exceptions].starttime, [exceptions].endtime, [Exceptions].code, datediff(minute, starttime, endtime) as duration INTO scratchpad3" & _
" FROM Employees INNER JOIN Exceptions ON [Exceptions].EmployeeNumber = [Exceptions].Employeenumber" & _
" where [Exceptions].exceptiondate between @payperiodstartdate and @payperiodenddate" & _
" GROUP BY [Exceptions].Employeenumber, [Exceptions].Exceptiondate, [Exceptions].starttime, [exceptions].endtime," & _
" [Exceptions].code, [Exceptions].exceptiondate"
Dim oCmd As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim oDr As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader
oCmd = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Try
With oCmd
.Connection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=mdr;Data Source=xxxxx;uid=xxxxx;password=xxxxx")
.Connection.Open()
.CommandType = CommandType.Text
.CommandText = sql
.Parameters.AddWithValue("@payperiodstartdate", payPeriodStartDate)
.Parameters.AddWithValue("@payperiodenddate", payPeriodEndDate)
oDr = .ExecuteReader()
End With
oDr.Close()
oCmd.Connection.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
oCmd.Connection.Close()
End Try
Exceptions.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
End Class
My two variables you can see are coming from this statement in my code:
payPeriodStartDate = oDr.GetDateTime(1)
payPeriodEndDate = payPeriodStartDate.AddDays(7)
What I need to do is to declare those on the Load event and pass them to my sql stored procedures BUT I need to declare them globally because each form needs to have those values passed to it. Can someone offer some guidance as to the best way to accomplish this?
Thank you
Doug
