 - Datagrid Child rows I have a dataset that contains 5 tables. One parent and 4 child tables. When I bind a datagrid to the parent table, the "+" expand is visible. I then click the "+" sign and the names of the child tables are there. But, I can only see the first two, and the Horizontal scroll bar does not allow me to scroll and see the rest. The datagrid property "HorizScrollBar" does not appear to be available at design time to modify the minimum and maximum properties. Does anyone know how to get this to work?

 - RowState changes to Modified if a DataRow is viewed via a DataGrid Hi, I have a DataTable that is bound via a DataView to a DataGrid. Every time I click on a row on the DataGrid, the underlying DataRow's RowState property gets changed to Modified. Is this the expected behavior? Is there a way around this? I checked these rows field by field and there is no difference. Read further, it gets even more bizarre. Then I do a GetChanges which gives me the same rows marked as modified as expected. I update my database with the resulting DataSet, and everything is good (nothing gets changed since there are really no changes). Then I try to merge this DataSet with the original big one and I get a constraint violation. There are no constraints on my DataSet that do not exist on my database. And the database was happy, so why is the merge failing. Please note that I am using int identity fields for PKs, but I am not even adding a row, nor really modifying anything!

 - Syncing with remote db Hi We have an access db running on a windows 2003 server. The server is connected to the internet via ADSL. I would like a windows mobile 2003 based vb.net app to sync data from the server, ideally via gprs, from time to time, the pda and the server have the same info. What is a good way to go about doing the data sync between the pda and the server? Do we have to upsize the server access db to sql server before it can sync with pda sql server ce, or can we keep the access app as it is?

 - How to create a DataView by a specified row(s)? How to create a DataView by a specified row or rows? That is to say, when a row( or rows) are specified, is it possible to create a DataView which just includes this row (rows)? If not possible, is it possible to create a DataView, which only includes the parent row, by a specified row and the parent relation name? As you know, in ADO.net, there is DataRowView method as the following: public DataView CreateChildView(DataRelation); Due to I have to bind a DataView to a DataGrid, so I have to solve this problem. Please help me. Thank you in advance. Ying LI Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96232

 - Inserts and the Identity field I am trying to run an insert statement against a table, and I get an error: "Can not insert explicit value for identity column in table "table name" when Identity_Insert is set to off." Now, in the set up of the table, when I populate it, I set the Column in the columns collection to be an identity field and I set it to true and all that. This message seems to imply that I need to set something on the SQL Server side, through the database, but I'm thinking I shouldn't have to do that. How do I get around this? Can I just set some property through the ADO.Net? If so, what am I missing? I looked through about four pages of old posts and didn't see anything similiar, but I'm sure this has come up, and I apologize if I'm asking somethign that's been addressed already. Thanks, Thad.

 - Performace and large datasets Hi, I have a SQL table with over 100,000 records. I have a stored procedure that return this record set to me(vb.net client), and i then display these records in a grid.

 - DataTable.Select Bug in .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 Once again I'm submitting a bug introduced with .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 that is breaking our application. We use DataTable.Select method all over our application. One of the places we use it is to filter some Entity information for permanent deletion from the database! We noticed that the code that worked perfectly for months stoped working with SP1 of .Net Framework 1.1 with information loss since there were database deletions! We use loads of filters like this one: "(HistoryStartDate >= #07/01/2004 00:00:00#) AND EntityId=7016 AND FieldId=70 AND Deleted=0" this worked perfectly without .Net Framework SP1 but not with SP1. We have put together a Test Harness (with source code) at: http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0434926301/ The sample default filter is the one specified above wich should return 0 rows when applied to the default sample data (TestData.XML - included with the Test Harness). The problem is that the Date part of the filter doesn't work properly and rows are returned. If you try to apply just the Date part of the filter to the same sample data no rows are returned (the expected result!). I have seen other threads reporting this problem but it seems like the guys at Microsoft aren't very concerned since there are no replies. If someone out there could help I would very mutch appreciate it. I tried everything I could remember but made no progress. This is a very serious problem for us. Thanks in advance.

 - Trap rowchanged on DataTable I have a datagrid with a datatable as datasource, what I want to do is add a timestamp to a row (in a DateTime field) each time a Quantity field is filled. I've tried it with the grdColStyle4.textbox.TextChanged addhandler but since I can fill this field both by entering it manual or double clicking it it's not working well... I want to use something like this but the rowupdated event never gets trapped if I use the datagrid: AddHandler MyTempOrderTable.RowChanged, New DataRowChangeEventHandler(AddressOf DataTableRow_Changed) Is there an alternative way to do this?

 - editing in binding manager I need some help. Hopefully will be simple. Usually I have users edit data in a data grid and then I call the update routine if the dataset has changes. I have an instance where data is bound to text boxes on a form. If the user needs to edit the information in one or more of these text boxes, these edits are not being saved back to the database. If threw in an if statement (if ds.haschanges then update...) but when debugging it is seeing that the dataset does not have changes. So I take it that directly typing into a text box that is bound to a field in the dataset does not directly change that data and set that row to modified? What might I be doing wrong here? Thanks for the information. Brad Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96193

 - Crystal Report - From stored proc. to unbound fields Hi all, I'm actually filling a report created with CR, using a stored proc. The data is returned in an ouput parameter of ref cursor type, and retrieved from a dataset using ADO. To display the data on the report, i used unbound fields, as i have single values only. Meaning, my dataset has one row but with multiple columns, each of them, bound to my unbound fields. Those unbound fields were added to the Header section of the report, as they need to be displayed only once. That works perfectly, i bound them using this code from a class : FormulaFieldDefinitions fielddefs; fielddefs = myrpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields; DataRow r = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]; foreach(FormulaFieldDefinition f in fielddefs) { f.Text = r[f.Name].ToString(); } Reportviewer.ReportSource = myrpt; The name of each unbound field, has got the same name of the column name in my dataset. Ok, my question is, assuming i would now have several rows in my dataset, the data should normally be displayed in the details section. So , how to bind my unbound fields to the dataset in this case ? I've tried the SetDatasource method, but it didn't work. Any Idea ?

 - TimeStamp with DataTable Hi! I have DataGrid bound to DataTable. I create DataTable "on fly" when application start without database connection. I use datagrid only to create simple XML-file for other purposes. Question: DataTable contains "Time"-column, and I need to get time into it automatically of the moment, when user adds a new row into DataGrid, but how to do it? It can't be only something like dc.DefaultValue = DateTime.Now; because time is not then time of the moment when DataGrid row was added by user. I think this must be easy, but I don't get it yet. Here's some of my code, if needed... DataColumn dc; dc = new DataColumn("Time"); dc.DataType = typeof(DateTime); dc.DefaultValue = DateTime.Now; dt.Columns.Add(dc); ... if(dc.ColumnName.ToString() == "Time") { textColumn.Format = String.Format("G", textColumn.TextBox); textColumn.ReadOnly = true; } -- Thanks in advance!

 - More efficient way required. Hi I need a very efficient solution to a problem that I am sure must be a fairly common one. I have a web application that is database driven. The behaviour of the web site is goverened by various database settings, for example font-type, font-size as well as access to functionality (this function switched on/off) etc. For sake of simplicity, let us assume that all this information is held in three tables with almost identical schema. The first table contains all the settings for the Company, the next contains any over-rides required by a specific Department, and the third table contains all the over-rides required by a specific User. 4 use-case scenarios: + User A uses the company default values; the specific values in the Department and User tables are 'NULL'. + User B uses his Department values to over-ride the values in the Company table (his user record has 'NULL' + User C uses her own values to over-ride both the Company and the Department values. + User D uses his own values to over-ride the Company values; Department record contains 'NULL' So, the scenario is that the UI demands to know (say) 10 parameters for a particular user. Some values are therefore likely to come from all three tables. So, what is the fastest/most scalable way to achieve this (using VB.Net, ADO.NET, SQL)? The information will be READ only at this stage. [I am extremely new to .NET (VB6 back-ground) and THINK that I require a DataReader object to be returned to the UI, though am happy to be advised on this.] In VB6, I guess that I would have done this by: + The UI calls the BL asking for a particular User's settings. + The BL calls the DL asking for a hierarachical recordset (data-shaped). This contains the User record, the Department record and the Company record. + The BL then iterates through the User record - for every 'NULL' value it looks in the Department record and (if that's NULL too) in the Company record. It then returns to the UI the "merged" results. Many thanks in advance! Griff Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96174

 - No 'New' accessable with Data Set I have a dataset in a class library and when I try to create a new table in another project that has a reference to that dataset I'm getting the error "Overload resolution failed because no 'New' is accessible." There are a bunch of different tables in this dataset and there are only two that I'm having this problem with. I can instantiate all other tables just fine. I have tried completely deleting this dataset and re-creating it and these tables still have the same problem. If I go into the code behind the dataset I can see that the constructor and some other properties are marked as "friend" and I can manually change them to "public" and it fixes the problem but this means that if I ever re-generate those particular tables I have to manuall fix it again.

 - Help! SqlHelper.FillDataset & connections question Has anyone seen this error? I'll try to explain in English because the code sample would be too big, but I can attach code if necessary... In my SaveButton_onClick event, I retrieve values off of my asp.net page, then I call a stored procedure to save the values. This process always works great the first time. On subsequent clicks of the same button (sometimes I change the data, but sometimes it's the same), I will get an exception thrown that includes the text: "Additional Information: A connection pooling error has occurred". In my aspx.vb on_click event, I create a Transaction that's passed into the SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar function to call the proc. After the data has been saved, I do myTransaction.Transaction.Commit(), then myTransaction = Nothing. I've tried myTransaction.Transaction.dispose(), and a number of other combinations. I cannot figure out what line causes the error. I have set right before everything that works with the connection, and sometimes I get this exception thrown right when I click the button, as if it's having a problem on the postback. I'm also using quite a number of Datasets to populate my page in the first place. Using the MS Application Block for data access, I use SqlHelper.FillDataset to populate each of 10 datasets on the page. SqlHelper has a bunch of overloaded FillDataset methods, but we're using one of the ones that just passes in a connection string (rather than an actual connection). Do you know if SqlHelper.FillDataset closes the database connection before it returns to the caller? I cannot decide whether I should just be passing in the same connection (pre-opened) to the FillDataset method, or if passing in the conx string is better/worse. I'm convinced that somehow I've got too many database conx open, but I don't know exactly how. Other info: I know my conx string is consistent because it's hidden in a class, that uses the same conx string no matter what database function I'm calling. This is preventing me from testing locally, so any help is greatly appreciated!!! Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96154

 - How to position to row in DataView or DataTable Is it possible to position to a specific row in a DataTable or DataView? I have a DataGrid that displays either a detail view or a summary view and uses built-in paging. Both sets of data are from the same database table, the summary view is an aggregate (group by) with one less column than the detail view. When the user changes views, I execute the appropriate stored procedure and re-bind the results to the grid. The problem is I need to re-display the same page of records in the new view. In other words, if the record for company ABC was the first record displayed in the grid in one view, it needs to be the first record in the other view as well. Currently if the user has paged down to page 3 and changes views, they are back on page 1. Thanks for you help, Mark Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96150

 - Design issue with O/R mapping Hi. Im have asked for recommendation regarding the best production ready O/R mapping tools for .net. I got that. Since im an old, ok maybe not old, Java programmer patterns and developement with tiers is of great importance for me. I have a problem with the famours anti-pattern Tier leakage. In the Java world I used POJO´s (simple java classes) as value objects. These value objects was used for cayrring data between the tiers. So if i changed the persistence tier the rest of the code still relyed in the same POJO´s. Now with the .net O/R they all genereate eg. EmployeeEntity wich inherit from EntityBase2 (LLBL PRO). If I pass the object from my persistence layer to the business layer and down to the view I have just made a seriuos "maintaince bug" the "tier leakage". If i wanna use eg. the EntityBroker im so to say fucked. I have to refactor ALL and EVERY class witch depend on the EmployeEntity. Have anyone thougt about this and come up with an solution? Is the persistence tools wich can map PURE c# classes to realtionel classes as the Java Hibernate? And why have so few chosen this way of doing it? Is it hard to map eg. Customer c = new Customer(); // fill object adapter.SaveEntity(c); And go find what this Customer really maps to int the Database?

 - Finding SQL server Hello all, I have an (winforms) application that uses 3 different databases (MS SQLserver 2000) that may be located in 1 or more SQL servers. When run for the first time the user is presented a form where he can type in the name of the SQL server and the database. The user can then test the connection and save the configuration. Now I want to make things a little bit easier by presenting the user a list of available SQL servers and if possible database where he can choose from. How do I go about?

 - Best way to populate webpages from multiple tables Hi, We are in the process of designing an ASP.NET app, where a user will enter some 'Customer ID' to be queried in the database. If the ID is valid, several stored procedures will be called to populate multiple webpages containing customer information. There isn't a one-to-one correlation between the stored procedure and a webpage. In other words, a webpage may have to refer to 1 or more DataTables to populate itself. Therefore, a DataTable that was used to populate webpage1 will need to be kept to populate webpage2. In order to make this process quick and efficient, we are trying to devise an effective scheme. Here are a couple of options we've come up with. I would highly appreciate it, if you folks can give your comments and/or suggestions on this matter. Option 1: Object Model. Create a CustomerInfo Object with the necessary properties, and populate it (using a DataReader)with the values returned by calling each of the stored procedure, store the object in a session variable, and use it to populate the webpages. Option 2: Store each of the DataTables returned from the stored procedures in DataSet, save the DataSet in a session variable, and use it to populate each of the webpages. So, my question are... Is it worth creating a Customer object (option1) to populate the various pages, or is it just better to use a DataSet (option2), despite the fact it will be larger in size? BTW, we are estimating the size of the Customer object to be ~8-10K. How much extra overhead will a DataSet add? Also, we will be hosting the app on a webfarm, so the session variables will be saved on SQL server. And the information is needed only once to populate the pages. There will approximately be 8 webpages showing customer info, and 7 stored procedures to be called. Again, I thank you for you help, and I look forward to your response.

 - No more H1B's. American jobs for American citizens. Election day is coming up. It is clear that the interestes of tech workers do not lay with either of the parties, therefore the best strategry for your interests is to punish the incumbent, George Bush. During the past 4 years 400,000 tech jobs have been lost. Despite this the govenment not only clings on to the discredited H1B program but is actually advocating for an increase in the number of foreigners to be brought over and take American jobs. It is absurd to argue that these are jobs that Americans cannot/willnot do. Americans are the best software developers in the world, are now and always have been. Name a single significant product or develope that ever came from India or China. Nonetheless, industry and ethnic advocates have hoodwinked American politicians and the gullible sheep that we refer to as mainstream media. Industry id not hoodwinked, they want their labor to be cheap, fearful and pliable. H1B's do nothing to advance the interestes of the vast majority of Americans, they only advance the interests of a miniscule minority of ethinic advocates (Indian, Chinese, Latin) and greedy entrepreuners who only care of their own fortune, not yours. Bush did not create this problem, but he has presided over it for 4 years, has done nothing and is inclined to make it worse. Punish Bush at the polls for his contempt of the American worker and his family. These worlds come from a life-long Republican. regards, Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96097

 - Design issues with O/R mapping Hi. Im have asked for recommendation regarding the best production ready O/R mapping tools for .net. I got that. Since im an old, ok maybe not old (only 27), Java programmer patterns and developement with tiers is of great importance for me. I have a problem with the famours anti-pattern Tier leakage. In the Java world I used POJO´s (simple java classes) as value objects. These value objects was used for cayrring data between the tiers. So if i changed the persistence tier the rest of the code still relyed in the same POJO´s. Now with the .net O/R they all genereate eg. EmployeeEntity wich inherit from EntityBase2 (LLBL PRO). If I pass the object from my persistence layer to the business layer and down to the view I have just made a seriuos "maintaince bug" the "tier leakage". If i wanna use eg. the EntityBroker im so to say fucked. I have to refactor ALL and EVERY class witch depend on the EmployeEntity. Have anyone thougt about this and come up with an solution? Is the persistence tools wich can map PURE c# classes to realtionel classes as the Java Hibernate? And why have so few chosen this way of doing it? Is it hard to map eg. Customer c = new Customer(); // fill object adapter.SaveEntity(c); And go find what this Customer really maps to int the Database?

 - merge on datasets from join queries I have lookup/record selection grids bound to datasets with lists based on join queries. Periodically, I want to update these datasets to reflect changes made by other users. It seems the dataset.merge on the original dataset with a dataset of the refreshed records just duplicates the records. Although the list is a main table with PK and the other tables in the join query are just lookup values (leaving only one record per PK), the dataset merge does not work. Is this possible or is the only way to "refresh" a dataset based on a joined table to loop through and update each field? Note, I do not want to just re-fill the original dataset as it is bound to a grid and so all the event firing and other binding operations would be more difficult to handle. Thanks.

 - DataBoundLiteralControl difficulties when accessing the content of this object ( in this case a date/time string whose length is 20 characters ), the browser displays the corresponding date normally. however, when the fiels is empty it does not display anything. so what's the problem? i am trying to implement a decision structure that will depend on the value of the control: if it exist the do A, and if it is an empty string do B. the problem is that the "empty string" is not at all empty, even though nothing renders! in the course of debugging i found that the length of this "empty string" is 49 characters long, but i cannot see the characters, and have absolutely no idea what they are, how they got there, or what they are doing there. when a value is present (the regular 20-character date/time string), the length of the text is 69 characters. there are obviously 49 characters that are eluding me in any case, but i cannot create a dependable method based on the length without being certain that it will always be constant, and in doing that the first step is seeing the invisible characters. how can i see them? why are they there? can ui strip them away? i tried to trim them, but was unsuccessful. the code: Dim dblc As DataBoundLiteralControl, str As String dblc = CType( e.Item.Cells(6).Controls(0), System.Web.UI.DataBoundLiteralControl ) str = dblc.Text lblFeedback.Text = "Length = " & str.Length & ", Value = " & str ...

Tomasz repro: using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Diagnostics; /// <summary> /// This is a repro of the bug found in ADO.Net /// It shows that the output parameter of Decimal type changes its precision /// after DBNull value is returned, causing inconsistent results of subsequent calls. /// </summary> public class ADONetOutputParameterBug { static void Main() { SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(); cn.ConnectionString = "data source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;"; SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("", cn); cn.Open(); SqlParameter pOut = cm.Parameters.Add("@outParam", SqlDbType.Decimal, 9); pOut.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; pOut.Precision = 19; pOut.Scale = 4; // first call cm.CommandText = "select @outParam = cast(1.5 as decimal(19,4))"; cm.ExecuteNonQuery(); Trace.WriteLine("first call: " + pOut.Value.ToString()); Trace.WriteLine("output parameter scale: " + pOut.Scale); // second call - returns null value cm.CommandText = "select @outParam = null"; cm.ExecuteNonQuery(); // third call - the same command as for the first time cm.CommandText = "select @outParam = cast(1.5 as decimal(19,4))"; cm.ExecuteNonQuery(); Trace.WriteLine("second call: " + pOut.Value.ToString()); Trace.WriteLine("output parameter scale: " + pOut.Scale); } } Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96065

 - Login, Connections and Forms Hi, I've cross-posted this from the Windows Forms list ... I suppose the question is actually a ADO.NET questions ... but it is about using this in a Windows Forms context. I'm developing an Windows forms based app that will draw data from a SQL Server 2000 system, that is set to use SQL Authentication (i.e. connection string must pass uname:pword). Given that various forms will need to use a SQL connection to generate data for data grid's etc ... how can I pass this authentication information around the various forms? A solution is to start the application from a VB.NET class, that has a shared member with the connection string (set once the user completes the login) Or create a shared connection object? Should I create a new connection object for each form? I currently test whether the login credentials are correct by enclosing within a try..catch clause an attempt to open and close a connection, failure will indicate invalid details (or perhaps a dead SQL Server!) ... any improvements on this? I assume that when using the form designer in VS.NET that if I manually program the connection (i.e. outside the section of code written by VS.NET ) that I can point the adapters/datasets etc. to the required connection. There are a few questions here ... but I've not so far found any answers here, on Google or elsewhere :( ! Thanks in advance for help Tag: ConnectionString for password protected Access Database Tag: 96059

Hi all,

Can anybody kindly tell me the connection string for password protected
access 2002 database.. I am using the following one but getting error

dim CN as new OLEDB.oledbConnection
cn.connectionstring = "Provider = Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source =
\\server\Costing\costing_2004_05.mdb; user id = admin; pwd= abc "
cn.open

this gives the following error
"could not find installable ISAM"

Thanks in advance
