Dear readers,

I have a simple Access database with a table with names. I am an
old V6 user, beginning to use VB2005

I created a listbox that lists all the records in my database table,
using the Databindings.

I created an ADD button, to add new records, and update my database with the .update command. Working.

I cannot find sample code to select a record from my list box, and
Delete the record from my database.

Also if I want to select a record from the listbox, change the contents, and update my database.

It is propably the same using a datagridview control.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me with some sample
code to add,edit & delete from a table using the listbox or datagridview controls, using VB2005

Very much appreciated.

If you are using an edit command column in a datagrid, you have an onDeleteCommand attribute of your datagrid and you can also add a delete button to your edit command column and then, when the delete button is pressed just write some logic to delete the currently selected value in the text box.

Dear dparsons,

Thanks for the reply, but it is the "just write some logic" part that I need
to get right. I am using a LISTBOX, and after I selected a record in my
listbox, I click my Delete button to remove it. I am not sure how to tell
my Table adapter, that record no 3 in my list box need to be deleted.

Please help.

You have to loop through your list box and in your routine you need something like this:

Dim lb As ListBox = CType(e.Item.Cells(x).Controls(x), ListBox)
Dim li as ListItem

For each li in lb
   if li.selected [do something]
next
