  1. POWindows Form not getting updates from my database?
    text
    copied!<p>Ive only recently starting fiddling with Visual Basic Express and Sql Databases. </p> <p>Ive managed to get a database up and running, and can query information from it. I have even created a form that can add a new entry to the table im using.</p> <p>The first form has a ComboBox that list the PlayerNames in my table. Form2 allows you to add a new name to the table, but anything I add isnt immediately updated in Form1. I have to relaunch the program to see the new entries. Even then, these new entries dont seem to be permanent as they eventually dissappear.</p> <p>The code I have for Form1:</p> <pre><code>Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim db = New PlayerTestDataContextDataContext() Dim PlayerList = From List In db.Players Select List.PlayerName For Each PName In PlayerList cbPList.Items.Add(PName) Next End Sub Private Sub btnCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreate.Click frmNewPlayer.Show() End Sub </code></pre> <p>End Class</p> <p>The code for Form2:</p> <pre><code> Private Sub btnCPlayer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCPlayer.Click Dim db = New PlayerTestDataContextDataContext() If txtNewPlayer.Text = "" Then lbWarning.Text = "Please enter a name!" Else Dim Plyr As New Player With { .PlayerName = txtNewPlayer.Text} db.Players.InsertOnSubmit(Plyr) db.SubmitChanges() Me.Close() End If End Sub </code></pre> <p>Not sure what is going wrong here...any help is appreciated. If I have overlooked an obvious answer around here forgive me, Im not sure what I need to be looking for.</p>
