How to Create Inclusive Dates Report in C#

Submitted by janobe on Wednesday, December 5, 2018 - 18:48.

This time, I will teach you how to create inclusive dates report in c#. I based this on my last tutorial which is how to create a Daily, Weekly and Monthly Report in C#. When you create a report this program will help you a lot because this will retrieve the previous months transactions. And this can also retrieve the previous weeks and specific dates of transactions. So let's begin:

Creating Database

Create a database named “dbtransaction”. Execute the following query for creating table and adding data in the table that you have created.

CEATE TABLE `tbltransaction` (
  `TRANSID` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `ORNO` int(30) NOT NULL,
  `TRANSDATE` date NOT NULL,
  `AMOUNTSALE` double NOT NULL,
  `CASHIER` varchar(30) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
 
--
-- Dumping data for table `tbltransaction`
--
 
INSERT INTO `tbltransaction` (`TRANSID`, `ORNO`, `TRANSDATE`, `AMOUNTSALE`, `CASHIER`) VALUES
(1, 70004, '2018-12-03', 385, 'Janno Palacios'),
(2, 70005, '2018-12-03', 385, 'Janno Palacios'),
(3, 70002, '2018-12-01', 385, 'Janno Palacios'),
(4, 70001, '2018-12-01', 385, 'Janno Palacios'),
(5, 70006, '2018-12-04', 69, 'Janno Palacios'),
(6, 70007, '2018-12-04', 69, 'Janno Palacios'),
(7, 70003, '2018-12-02', 138, 'Janno Palacios');

Creating Application

Step 1

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and create a new windows form application for c#. psFormDates

Step 2

Do the form just like shown below. psFROMDates1

Step 3

Add a namespace to access MySQL libraries.

using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

Step 4

Create a connection between C# and MySQL database. After that, initialize all the classes and variables that are needed.

 MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("server=localhost;user id=root;password=;database=dbtransaction;sslMode=none");
 MySqlCommand cmd;
 MySqlDataAdapter da;
 DataTable dt;
 string sql;

Step 5

Create a method for retrieving data in the database.

private void loadData(string sql)
        {
            try
            {
                con.Open();
                cmd = new MySqlCommand();
                cmd.Connection = con;
                cmd.CommandText = sql;
                da = new MySqlDataAdapter();
                da.SelectCommand = cmd;
                dt = new DataTable();
                da.Fill(dt);
 
                dtg_list.DataSource = dt;
 
 
            } catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                con.Close();
                da.Dispose();
            }
        }

Step 6

Double click the “Search” button and do the following codes for the inclusive dates report.

private void btn_search_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            sql = "SELECT `ORNO`, `TRANSDATE` as 'Date', `AMOUNTSALE` as 'TOTALAMOUNT', `CASHIER` FROM `tbltransaction` WHERE DATE(`TRANSDATE`) BETWEEN '" + dtp_from .Text  + "' AND '" + dtp_to .Text   + "'";
            loadData(sql);
            lblTitle.Text = "Report Inclusive Dates from " + dtp_from .Text + " to " + dtp_to .Text ;
 }
