Do you want to generate sequential IDs--1,2,3, etc.

Yes dear... Can u plz help me

see this following code :

Private Sub AutoNumberNo()
        Dim myReader As SqlDataReader
        conn = GetConnect()
        conn.Open()
        Dim temp As String
        Try
            Dim sql As String = "SELECT MAX(NO) 'IDNumber' FROM Student "
            Dim comm As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, conn)
            myReader = comm.ExecuteReader
            If myReader.HasRows Then
                While myReader.Read()
                    temp = myReader.Item("IDNumber") + 1
                End While
            End If
            myReader.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
        conn.Close()
        txtId.Text = String.Concat(temp) ' result will appear in textbox txtId
    End Sub

call that procedure in button click event.
on button click event...
AutoNumberNo()
end sub

strGenerate = CreatestrGenerate 'Auto generate

strGenerate //' goes where ever you want to put..

Function CreatePaymentKey
Randomize
strCharacters = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
intUpperLimit = 36
intLowerLimit = 1

For S = 1 To 12 //' change this to the number of code you want
strTempKey = Mid(strCharacters, Int((intUpperLimit - intLowerLimit) * Rnd() + intLowerLimit), 1)
CreatestrGenerate= CreatestrGenerate & strTempKey
Next
End Function

Good luck..

Hi every1 i have a form with a textboxid, buttonAdd, ButtonSave on it , when i click on the btnAdd it must show the id and when i click update it must really Save . I want to auto generate the id through codes ... can any1 help...

you can email me:-dipsy_sharma89@yahoo.co.in

There's a much easier way to do that.

Save the last id number in a textfile. When you click the btnAdd the code should read the textfile and add one to the value in the textfile then show it in the textbox. When you click btnSave the last id is saved in the database and in the textfile.

[U]btnAdd_Click[/U]
'Reads from text file
Dim TextReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(TextFilePath)
Dim NewID As Integer
NewID = Val(TextReader.ReadToEnd) + 1
txt.Text = NewID
TextReader.Close()

[U]btnSave_Click[/U]

Dim nr As DataRow = ds.Tables(Table).NewRow
Dim cb As New oledb.oledbCommandBuilder(da)

'Reads from textfile
Dim TextReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(TextFilePath)
Dim NewID As Integer
NewID = Val(TextReader.ReadToEnd) + 1
TextReader.Close()

'Saves to textfile
Dim TextWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(TextFilePath)
TextWriter.Write(NewID)
TextWriter.Close()
 
'Saves to database
nr(0) = NewID
da.Update(ds,"Table")

This is the simplest way to duo it.Copy and paste on your page load event.

string sqlText = "SELECT MAX(product_id) FROM Product ";
        SqlConnection con3 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\\QXScustomerportalDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sqlText, con3);

    try
    {
        con3.Open();
        string pcount = Convert.ToString( command.ExecuteScalar());
        if (pcount.Length == 0)
        {
            TextBox1.Text = "1";

        }
        else 
        {
            int pcount1 = Convert.ToInt32(pcount);
            int pcountAdd = pcount1 + 1;
            TextBox1.Text = pcountAdd.ToString();
        }

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Alert.Show(ex.Message);
    }
    finally
    {
        con3.Close();
    }

'Jx Man' already gave showed you that in his code as written below

Try
Dim sql As String = "SELECT MAX(NO) 'IDNumber' FROM Student "
Dim comm As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, conn)
myReader = comm.ExecuteReader
If myReader.HasRows Then
While myReader.Read()
temp = myReader.Item("IDNumber") + 1
End While
End If
myReader.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
 
End Try
conn.Close()
txtId.Text = String.Concat(temp) ' result will appear in textbox txtId

I want to generate serial number (i.e,generated by system only ) but it is sequence one

@rajeshmca03 Do you mean a Global Unique Identifier? If so, you may get a new Guid and just append a counter, for example like this:

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Try
            Dim sGuid As String = String.Empty
            Dim nOption As Int32 = 0
            Dim sequenceCount As Int32 = 0
            Dim curGlobalIdent As String = ""
            Dim formatLn As Int32 = 6
            Do
                Console.WriteLine("1. Get a new Guid.")
                Console.WriteLine("2. Increment by one.")
                Console.WriteLine("3. Exit.")
                Console.WriteLine("Enter the desired option number and press 'Enter':")
                Dim e1 As String = Console.ReadLine
                If Int32.TryParse(e1, nOption) Then
                    Select Case nOption
                        Case 0, 3 : Exit Do
                        Case 1
                            Dim g As New Guid
                            sGuid = g.ToString
                            curGlobalIdent = sGuid + "-" + StrDup(formatLn - 1, "0") + "1"
                            sequenceCount = 1
                            Console.WriteLine(curGlobalIdent)
                        Case 2
                            sequenceCount += 1
                            Dim sHex As String = Hex(sequenceCount)
                            If Len(sHex) < formatLn Then
                                sHex = StrDup(formatLn - Len(sHex), "0") + sHex
                            End If
                            curGlobalIdent = sGuid + "-" + sHex
                            Console.WriteLine(curGlobalIdent)
                    End Select
                End If
            Loop
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString)
            Console.WriteLine("Press 'Enter' to exit")
            Console.ReadLine()
        End Try

    End Sub
End Module
