Getting primary key after an insert in asp.net (visual basic)

Question

I\'m adding a record like this:

    Dim pathString As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath(\"Banking.mdb\")
    Dim odbconBanking As New OleDbConnect         


        

Answer 1

I believe a parameterized query would look something like this:

Dim pathString As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath("Banking.mdb")
Dim odbconBanking As New OleDbConnection _
     ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
     "Data Source=" + pathString)
Dim sql As String
sql = "INSERT INTO tblUsers ( FirstName, LastName, Address, City, Province, Zip, Phone, UserName, [Password])" & _
      " VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);"
odbconBanking.Open()
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(sql, odbconBanking)

//Add Params here
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OdbcParameter("@FirstName", firstName))
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OdbcParameter("@LastName", lastName))
//..etc

//End add Params here

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Dim newcmd As New OleDbCommand("SELECT @@IDENTITY", odbconBanking)
uid = newcmd.ExecuteScalar

odbconBanking.Close()

My syntax might be a bit off as I am more accustomed to using the Sql Server library and not the Odbc library, but that should get you started.
