    - Problem adding records with SQLDataadapter to SQL Server database Hi, I'm building an application, to edit data on a SQL Server database. Database has a table Jobs with primary key (JobID) with identity seed = 1 and identity increment = 1 I'm using SQLConnection and SqlDataAdapters, DataSet, datagrid and DataViews Dataset represents the SQL database. When i add a record to the DataSet(Jobs), there is a Primary key generated. So for example the datagrid on my form shows the following: JobID JobName JobDescription 1 test1 This is the first job record 2 test2 This is the second job record 3 test3 This is the third job record When i click add i add a new record to the dataset. The primairy key is generated (not by my code) as JobID = 4. But my JobID on SQL server (because i've added several records and deleted them) is 15. When i click save my SQLDataAdapter is updating the SQL server and adds the record (through stored procedures) without supplying a JOBID. When the save is done i have 2 extra records. One is a record wich only exists in the dataset with JobID = 4 and one new record from the SQL server with JobID = 15 This is not expected behaivior... Anyone have some ideas? Help would be greatly appriciated, thanks in advance Rob Smeets Tag: Convert Tag: 123002

    - ADO.NET Update SQL View I have created a view in SQL server 2000 that joins two one-to-one tables. This view is updateable from SQL enerprise manager as all of the keys are present to perform updates. In VB6, I could simply create an ADO Recordset that queries this view, make the recordset optimistic, and updates would be performed automatically when the .Update method was invoked. However, in ADO.NET this appears to be impossible. I have created a stored procedure that queries this view and bound the resulting dataset to a grid. MY issue is I cannot make this dataset updateable. Obviously, the command builder will not generate the Update statement because there is a table join. I have tried creating a stored procedure fot the update but am receiving an error - which gives me no indication as to what the actual problem is. I cannot create two adaptors because I need to bind he dataset to a single grid. What is the solution? It seems as though ADO.NET is a huge step backward from ADO. Any help would be greatly appreciated Tag: Convert Tag: 122984

    - Email message using MS Sql Server All, What is the simplest way to send an email message through the MS SQL Server? There was a method to send email messages using a standard C# way via SMTP server, but the required port was blocked on our server for the security reasons. So there is the only one method that I see to send my messages. The idea was to send these messages about some critical events, exceptions, etc., happening with our web application. The mechanism was already written and working but I need to switch to the MS SQL Server to get it working again. Can anybody give any idea, or code, or links? I know that this feature should be built into the MS SQL Server. Thanks, Just D. Tag: Convert Tag: 122975

    - Selecting, Inserting and Updating Relational Data (SQLServer/ADO.NET) Dear Group, I have a heirarchical set of database tables, say - "order" and "order_type" and want to display a series of orders in a grid control, and in place of the order_type foreign key identifier, I would like a dropdown combo box (lookup from the "order_type" table) to change the type of the order. I also need an update command button, a delete row button and also an insert new row button. I'm sure this is a very common design pattern, although I can't find any good tutorials anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction, as I want to get the design pattern right from the very beginning. Also a couple of specific questions: 1) If I use a typed dataset with a SQL query to return the rows, and databind this to the grid control - how can I override/load the order_type column to load a combobox lookup dropdown? 2) If I use a typed dataset with a SQL query and the relations set, bound to the grid control - how can I change the WHERE clause dynamically at runtime? Since I'm building the dataset at designtime, I can't see how I can restrict the amount of data queried in memory (example: WHERE customer_name = "bob"). I can do all of the above in ADODc, and with careful use of recordsets; but I'm sure ADO.NET would be faster for this job! I'm using ADO.NET 2.0, VB2005 (Professional Edtn) and SQL Server Express.

I can do this easily for boolean and integer types, but if I have a string field and I want to set the default to "", I can not find a way to do this.

    - Updating - let me count the ways There are several ways of updating a database through ADO.Net 2. In my case, I'm interested in using queries to update my Access data. I'm not sure what all the pros and cons are for each method. Below I've listed what I know, I'd welcome some discussion. And some correction on the 'terms' if required For my examples, I have a table called Weeks. This table has a boolean field, PastWeek. I wish to set this to true for all weeks prior to a supplied week number. Which one do you use? Whats the fastest to run? Thanks Vayse __________________________________________________________________________ 1) TableAdapter Where one opens the xsd file, right clicks on the table adapter, and clicks on Add Query. For my example, I create a query called SetPastWeeks, as follows UPDATE Weeks SET PastWeek = True WHERE (WeekID<= ?) To use this in my code, I would do Me.WeeksTableAdapter.SetPastWeeks(lNewWeekID) Pros: Easy to setup Easy to test - you can run the query in the xsd window. (what is the correct term for xsd window?) Its easy to use Cons: I guess its slower, but I don't know for sure. __________________________________________________________________________ 2) Commands and Dymanic SQL Using connection As New OleDbConnection(stConnection) connection.Open() Dim stSQL as string = "UPDATE Weeks SET PastWeek = True WHERE WeekID<= " & lNewWeekID Dim command As New OleDbCommand(stSQL, Connection) Dim lRows = command.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using Pros/ Cons: I'm not sure! __________________________________________________________________________ 3) Commands and Access Query That is, create the query in Access, then run it via your code. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how to pass a parameter to such a query! Anyway, running it should be the same at the Dymanic SQL. I don't know what advantages this has over method 2, but it can make your code trickier to debug. __________________________________________________________________________ 4) DataAdapter To keep the code short, I won't add the parameters to the command. Dim dbConn As New OleDbConnection(stConnection) dbConn.Open() Dim stSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM Weeks" Dim daWeeks As New OleDbDataAdapter(stSQL, dbConn) stSQL = "UPDATE Weeks SET PastWeek = True WHERE WeekID <= 9" Dim command As New OleDbCommand(stSQL, dbConn) daWeeks.UpdateCommand = command daWeeks.UpdateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() Tag: Convert Tag: 122939

I am trying to connect two concurrent DataReader objects to the same connection, but the attempt fails with the error "Another DataReader is already open, it needs to be closed.. bla..bla.." Using good old ADO I could connect as many Recordsets I wanted through one connection, so how come ADO.Net is not allowing me to connect two DataReaders? I think I read somewhere that this can be done through .Net Framework 2.0. Is this true? How stable is .Net 2.0? Are there any big issues that I should know about?

    - Specify alternative base class for strongly-typed DataSet Our application, currently in .NET 1.1, uses strongly-typed DataSets as business objects. These have been created using a third-party generator (from AdoGuy.com) which reproduced the standard Microsoft STD code, but added a couple of extra things to make deriving from the generated DataSet/Table/Rows work properly. The generator was open-source, and I modified it to allow me to specify different base classes for the DataSet/Table/Rows, so I could add common functionality there-in. So now we want to move the project into 2.0, and the original motive for the alternative generator no longer exists, because STDs are declared as partial, so business logic can be added in a separate file. But I now have a lot of code in my alternative base classes, which would have to be duplicated in each and every DataSet/Table/Row. We've got half a dozen DataSets, with an average of eight tables in each, and I expect to create another half a dozen over the next year, so that'd be a lot of work. (Of course, when C# 3.0 appears, I could just use an extension method, but I can't really wait another two-to-three years...) What I'd like to do is find a way of changing the base classes in the generated code as easily as possible. Does anyone know of a third-party DataSet generator that will let me do this? Alternatively, how feasible would it be to write a VS2005 plug-in to change the base classes in the generated code, preferably automagically after the MS generator runs when the XSD is saved, but manually if necessary? I've also considered writing a plug-in to generate an additional partial class with the extra code in, but that would inflate the classes quite a lot. Or are there any other suggestions for a good way to achieve this? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Oh, and Happy New Year. Mark Tag: Convert Tag: 122923

    - SqlServer Express, Firebird & stored procedure question I want to toy with an embeded database for shareware application. I would like to know better SqlServer as well. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that as much as I would like to play with SqlServerExpress it seems higly unfit to this kind of application for the following reasons: - +20Mb to the install plus strange question to answer (for the clueless user) - Even though SqlServer express is installed your consumer application could fail if the service is, for some reason, off. - Even though SqlServer express is up and running you might not have connect access right to it, or right to create a new (file based) database (if need to), or maybe the server name is not what you expect and it can't be guess (or could 127.0.0.1 be used?)

Would it grows my SqlServer understanding to play with Firebird? Tag: Convert Tag: 122919

I'm experienced in relational database design, access and .net, but not at all in sql server: 1. How steep is the learning curve on SQL Server? 2. Any suggestions for good materials on getting started (most of the documentation looks geared to those who are proficient with prior versions) 3. Any suggestions for how I can find a third party to get me started on this -- most of the solution providers listed online seem to be looking to do large turnkey packages. I'd be looking more for some part time development and mentoring consulting to get this launched and then back in my hands. Any ideas where I can find this (I'm just outside of NYC, fwiw). Thanks for any pointers/suggestions! kc Tag: Convert Tag: 122883

    - Copy just some rows from a datatable to another datatable. I have a datatable with a field in it that tells me where the data belongs (let's say the values are 'A' and 'B'). I want to split the table into two other tables where in one there are only the 'A' records and the other one has only the 'B' records. What's the easiest way to do it? I looked at a dataview but it has no copy, it has copyto. TIA - Jeff. Tag: Convert Tag: 122870

    - 2nd layer of filtering? I have a paramaterized command for a data adapter SELECT MRN, Name, Sex, DOB, SSN FROM dbo.Membership WHERE (MRN = @MRN or @MRN is null) AND (Name like @Name or @Name is null) AND (Sex = @Sex or @Sex is null) etc. The name of that result set is from a stored procedure called: qMembershipSelect for 1.4 million records, this ensures that the data will come up quickly because all I'm doing is filtering between 1-4 parameters. But after the first select is done, I'd like to apply additional filtering to that result set that weeds out other stuff like duplicate records and selects a true Current member: SELECT DISTINCT MRN, MemNAME AS Member, DOB, SEX, SSN, GROUP, SGR, [FROM-DT], [THRU-DT] FROM qMembershipSelect AS Y GROUP BY MRN, MemNAME, DOB, SEX, SSN, GROUP, SGR, [FROM-DT], [THRU-DT] HAVING [THRU-DT] Is Null Or [THRU-DT] In (Select Max(X.[Thru-Dt]) From qMembershipSelect As X Where X.MRN = Y.MRN And X.MRN Not in(Select Z.MRN From qMembershipSelect As Z Where Z.[THRU-DT] Is Null)) ORDER BY MemNAME, [FROM-DT] DESC; Obviously this 2nd layer of filtering wouldn't be so tedious to a smaller dataset as it would to 1.4 million records at the start. Are you able to do this in ADO.NET with a DataTable?... if not, how do you go about it? In DAO, what I would do is write the First Select Statement qdf.SQL = "Select...." That would become qMembershipSelect and then refer to the rewritten query as if it were a table. it would be nice if qMembershipSelect could be referred to with this complexity with another dataadapter? I don't see in ADO.NET being able to write complex SQL statements that refer to a DataTable (equivalent to a query in Access)? Tag: Convert Tag: 122842

    - Dataadapter produces error: Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement The code below loads an Access table with one row. It then adds a row and displays all this in a datagridview. So far so good. But when I use the dataadapter's update command to update the database table, I receive the following error: Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement The Insert statement as displayed by the debug,write line is: INSERT INTO Main (Id, Interval, Tutor1, Tutor2) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?), which looks fine to me. Where is the problem? The Commandbuilder should have no problems with this simple setup. The code: Dim ds2 As New DataSet Dim da2 As New Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter Dim dc As Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection dc.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Test2.mdb" dc.Open() Dim StrSQL As String = "SELECT * from Main" Dim objCommand As New Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(StrSQL, dc) da2.SelectCommand = objCommand Dim CB2 As Data.OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder = New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da2) Debug.Write("CB: " & CB2.GetInsertCommand.CommandText) 'What it writes looks fine to me da2.Fill(ds2, "Main") Dim NewRow As DataRow = ds2.Tables(0).NewRow NewRow.Item("ID") = 254 NewRow.Item("Interval") = 22 NewRow.Item("Tutor1") = "Joe" NewRow.Item("Tutor2") = "Mary" ds2.Tables(0).Rows.Add(NewRow) Me.DataGridView1.DataSource = ds2.Tables(0) MsgBox("Got this far") da2.Update(ds2, "Main") 'Here is where the error occurs.

    - Code reuse and DataSet generation from XML schema Hello, I have several strongly typed DataSet classes that encapsulate the same table. My challenge is that I can't reuse the wrapper code for this table generated by Visual Studio, because although wrapper classes represent identical structures, they have different identities. If I have two strongly typed DataSets (DataSet1 and DataSet2) and both of them wrap a table MyTable, VisualStudio duplicate the code in .cs files, i.e. I get DataSet1.MyTableRow class and DataSet2.MyTableRow, so it is not possible to have a common method DoSomethingWithMyTableRow(MyTableRow row) - I have two different identities for MyTable row structures. Does anyone know an approach for code reuse in such cases? Thanks in advance Vagif Abilov Oslo Norway Tag: Convert Tag: 122839

    - Problem connecting to sql server Hi, I am using XP Pro SP2, VS.NET 2003 & IIS 5. I used to develop an ASP.NET application on my PC on my local IIS, connecting to a LAN server which hosts my MSSQL database. I have no problem running the web app locally. After I reformat and reinstall XP, I could not run the app anymore. The app could not find the SQL server. But I can connect to the server via Enterprise Manager installed locally and browse the tables. And I can even ping the server. I have tried using both IP and servername but to no avail. However, my machine can connect when I tried using normal windows application, using the same connection string. I think I am missing something bcos I used to have the same problem last time.

    - Managing "Row ID" for Table Inserts Using c# and Visual Studio 2003, I've begun to wonder whether I'm adding rows to Oracle tables correctly. The tables often have "row ID" columns and, before adding a row, I pull the "max" ID value from a table, add 1 to it, and then use that number as the new "row ID" (the base table then gets updated, so the dataset and table are not long out of sync). I'm sure this approach is wrong, since, among other issues, the "max" ID returned could be wrong if, for instance, a recently-added row was deleted. I don't know, however, how else to do this. Should I instead use stored procedures? How can I add rows to my dataset tables and know what "row ID" the underlying table will expect during the row insert (especially with other users potentially hitting the database)? Thanks for advice. Tag: Convert Tag: 122815

    - SqlCeResultSet, why not in ADO.NET? I just discovered the SqlCeResultSet in the compact framework. It is more like ADO or DAO than anything else that I have seen as far as coding in a VB application goes. It appears to be very fast and efficient too! Is there any plan to place the resultset in ADO.NET? It just seems FAR easier to implement with fewer lines of code than creating a dataset.

    - Generate DataSet in 2.0? I'm beginning to think Microsoft has spent the last few years revising .NET so as to break every single programming construct I've developed. Sheesh! Today, I'm trying to figure out where the Generate Dataset context menu option went in VS2005. I used to build quick and dirty config files -- which I could access through a Dataset -- by creating an xml file with dummy data, creating a schema from that xml file, converting the schema to a Dataset, and then selecting Generate Dataset. This created a "hidden" file containing an autogenerated class which I could then read my xml config data into via ReadXml(). Unfortunately, the Generate Dataset menu option has disappeared. Or been moved. And I can't find it. So how do I create a Dataset based on an existing xml file? - Mark Tag: Convert Tag: 122788

    - Philosophical question: how often to submit updates to database A concept I've waffled on from time-to-time with ADO.Net: how often to submit updates back to the database. For example, I have some CF apps where it's quite obvious the *when* part of submitting the update -- soon as you come off of the record. For other desktop apps, it's not quite so obvious. For example, I have a CRM app where there are dozens of fields for one customer record, as well as many different datatables for sales, appointments, etc.. So, I wonder: submit the update every time a single change is made or submit it only when a different customer is selected? The downside to the update for every single change is the obvious network/server overhead; the downside for waiting on a customer change is what if the app gets closed/crashes, etc? I'm not looking for a *right* answer here, just some opinions. Thoughts, strategies, ideas from others would be appreciated. Tag: Convert Tag: 122775

    - Jet vs. Sql Server Express Greetings - I'm working on a new application and need to select a database for it. I was wondering if anyone had any views on tradeoffs between going with Jet/Access vs. SQL Server 2005 Express. The database is going to sit on a server. I'm planning to implement .net remoting from my client objects to a wrapper around the database, so the database will be transparent to the distributed client apps. I'll also access the database for ad hoc reporting and data manipulation. I'm experienced with Access but haven't used SQL Server, so I would tend to lean toward using Access/Jet. However, it seems most of the attention is on SQL Server in everything I see about VS 2005. Is Jet still getting attention? What are the pros/cons of SQL Server vs. Jet?

Hi Norm,

You can use Convert.ToDecimal(stringValue) or Convert.ToDouble(stringValue)
to convert string to numerical value. $ sign is easy to be removed by
string.Replace(â??$â??, â??â??).
