inserting & retrieving records from M.S.Access-2007 using oledb in C#.net

Objective:
           To insert, search, update, delete and navigate record in M.S.Access-2007 file

Design:

  

Design the form as above with a DataGridView,
3 Labels, 3 TextBoxes, 10 buttons.

[ Note: In order to perform operations on M.S.Access-2007 records,
M.S.Office-2007 should be installed in your system.]

Introduction:

     As we want to use OleDb Connection include the namespace:
using System.Data.OleDb’
For accesing records from M.S.Access-2003 file we use ‘Jet’ driver,
but for accesing records from M.S.Access-2003 file we use ‘Ace’ driver.

In this application, we will search a record by taking input from the InputBox. For this we have to add reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.

Adding a Reference:
Goto Project Menu
->Add Reference -> select 'Microsoft.VisualBasic' from .NET tab.
Inorder to use this we have to include the namespace:
‘using Microsoft.VisualBasic’

->creating a primary key in the dataTable:
      In this app. we use Find() method to search a record, which requires details of primarykey column for database tables this provided using statement: adapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey

But as we don’t have any primarykey column in M.S.Access table, we have to create a primary key column in datatable.
Eg:
ds.Tables[0].Constraints.Add("pk_sno", ds.Tables[0].Columns[0], true);

->pointing to current record in dataTable:
After searching a record, we have to get index of that record so that we can show next and previous records when we press ‘>>’(next) and ‘<<’(previous) buttons.
Eg:
rno= ds.Tables[0].Rows.IndexOf(drow);
