    - Why question not answered? I don't understand why the question below has not been answered here. I assume I am in the right newgroup. To me it seems a reasonable question. What gives? If reviewing how to get the DataRowVersion data from a row in a dataset I see no example of how to do this with a strongly typed dataset using dot notation. Below I have an example of how I get a value into a integer value called OrigStatus not using dot notation. OrigStatus = CInt(Me.DataSetQuoteDetail1.quote(0)("quote_status_id", DataRowVersion.Original)) As you see, in the example above it is necessary for me to supply the name of the column in quotation marks. Is there a way to do this in a strongly typed dataset using dot notation so that I don't have to supply the column name in quotation marks? Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105297

    - DataBinding to a combo box. Hi I have two tables... DataSources(id, Type, Name) DataSourcesTypes(id, TypeDescription) DataSourcesTypes contains lookup field data that will populate the Type field in the DataSource table. I would like to setup a comboBox with the following... DisplayMember = DataSourcesTypes.TypeDescription ValueMember = DataSources.Type The ultimate effect being a form that displays the description in a combo box but is altering the ID field in the dataSource table for the particular dataSource being edited. I understand that a relationship should be setup but I cannot get it to work ? thanks for any time on this Sharat Koya Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105293

    - Problem with sqlDataAdapter.fill performance Hi I am a newbie to the ADO .NET. I use a dataset as datasource for a web Crystal Report. I fill this dataset using a sqlDataAdapter. The selectCommand is quite complex and use many table and relations. The execution of the fill command is very long (it takes about 30 sec.), but if i run the select command in the query builder it takes about 2 sec, so i think that the problem is not the execution of the query by SQLServer. How can i speeed up the fill of this dataset ? Thank you - Daniele - Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105286

    - How to Get Year/Month/Date of a DateTime Column by Column.Expressi I mean to create a new column with Integer type, which is defined by its expression to be Year/Month/Date of a DateTime Column. Of course, It is simple to define such a new column by Substring(Convert(DateTimeColumn,"System.String"),x,y) to get Year/Month/Date of DateTime Column if we know the DataTable.Local when we code the expression. If not, how to do? Any suggestions are welcome. LI Ying Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105285

    - Event on record change I have some controls on my form which are bound to a dataset and some which are not bound. But whatever record is displayed on the form, I want to populate those control (datetime, combo, etc.) with the data in the current record. What event can I do this in ? PositionChanged of bindingContext - is this called before the record is current or after ? if it is after, I can use this. Please advise. HS Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105267

    - Database update help needed I am a newbie to the ADO .NET stuff. I am using Visual Studio 2003/ VB to develop an app. Been doing development for a long time, but having a tough time getting my hands around the new way of doing things. Hoping you can help. First, is there a site or book you can point me to that will describe this stuff in detail? I can't seem to get the stuff I am reading/trying to work. Second, can someone give me a basic idea on the "preferred" use of data adapters and datasets? Separate DS for each DA, or one DS for all DAs? Lastly, I have an issue of data not being saved. I have a DB connection to an Access DB, a DA with the necessary SQL statements for update and insert, and a group of text controls bound to the data. I open the form and the data is there. I make changes and then issue: MyDataAdapter.Update(MyDataSet) I get no errors, but nothing changes in the DB. Part of the issues for me are understanding the opening/closing of the connection and how the data in the DS gets back to the actual DB. Sorry for the long question/post and many questions. I appreciate any help!! Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105258

    - Addnew() I have a checkbox, date time picker & few comboboxes bound to the same dataset I know checkbox, datetimepicker won't let me have null when I call AddNew() Also because if I bind my combo boxes to the same dataset they all change automagically. So my theory: On Addnew(), before addnew is called, unbind the checkbox & datetimepicker & comboboxes and before endcommit is called, populate the new record with the value in these controls. sounds good eh ? Now can someone help me put that into code? Thanks :) HS Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105257

    - Having problem with typed dataset with multiple tables. I have a typed DataSet that contains 4 tables. I have mapped a data adapter to all of the tables in the DataSet. The select command for the data adapter has a multiple join on all four tables in the typed DataSet. When I try to do the Fill command, I get an InvalidOperationExcpetion. The message says that there is an invalid source mapping for one of my columns. If I change my select statement to only return rows from one table in the result set, it works fine. Not sure why the other table mappings are not working. My select string looks something like this: select top 500 * from tblEventImages left outer join tblEventOccurrences on tblEventImages.EventID = tblEventOccurrences.EventID left outer join tblImageAnnotations on tblEventImages.TimeDate = tblImageAnnotations.TimeDate left outer join tblEventTransactions on tblEventImages.EventID = tblEventTransactions.EventID Could someone please indicate how to do the data adapter table mapping for this? Maybe I am doing something wrong here, but I cannot figure out what it is. -- ----------------------------------- Ken Varn Senior Software Engineer Diebold Inc.

    - What happens when I change the RowUpdatedEventArgs? What I want to do is catch and dismiss expected errors during an update (resolve the problem and allow the update to continue) but have unexpected errors throw their exception normally (stopping the update). To accomplish this, I created a method and attached it to the SqlDataAdapter.RowUpdated event. It looks similar to this, private void errorHandler(object sender, SqlRowUpdatedEventArgs args) { if(args.Status != UpdateStatus.ErrorsOccurred) { return; } // determine if the error should be ignored if(ignoreError) { // error should be ignored args.Status = UpdateStatus.Continue; args.Errors = null; } } With this code in place, errors I've ignored still throw an exception and halt the update. This behavior leads me to the conclusion that changing properties on the SqlRowUpdatedEventArgs object in my method have no lasting effect. Should this be so? Can someone please tell me if I have a logical or conceptual flaw here? Thanks! Matt P.S. This is running on the CompactFramework Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105253

    - Error when using System.Data.Relations.Add Using an informix database, I'm retrieving two datasets and copying the data table from one dataset into the other, so I've got 1 dataset with 2 tables. This is just background because it might be part of the problem. After this, I simply want to create a data relation between the two tables, so I call the constructor for a new datarelation, which appears to work fine. I get an error when I'm trying to use the Add method of the dataset. The error is: "System.ArgumentException: This constraint cannot be enabled as not all values have corresponding parent values." Any ideas? Below is the code I'm using. Thanks!

    - what can cause a "object was open" error Hi, I am writing an ASP.NET appliction with C#. I also access a MSDE database with the OleDb Provider. I am using OleDb to have the option of easily changing the underlying database. That worked all well. But after some additions to my application I now have the following error: Exception: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException Message: Object was open. at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.ProcessResults(Int32 hr) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.InitializeProvider() at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open() This error does occur in some code snippets all the time, in some other it seems that it only happens sometimes. I tried to find out more about the error by investigating the problem in a code snippet where it always occurs. But it doesn't help. It is just an INSERT statement to one table. I already tried synchronizing the code snippet and commenting out all other accesses to the same table to avoid any collisions by multiple threads that try to access it, but it still doesn't work. The connection itself is closed, so "Object" must mean something else. But what? Any ideas? Regards Marco Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105224

    - DataAdapter newbie question I have two questions regarding the use of DataAdapters: 1. If I am going to retrieve multiple tales to a DataSet using multiple DataAdapter Fill's is it best to create a separate DataAdapter for each table or to create one and change it's SelectCommand property between each Fill? 2. Related to number 1, is it best to explicitly open the connection before the series of Fill's and close after rather than allow each DataAdapter to implicitly open and close the connection.

    - Insert data from a Dataset into a SQL Database Hi guys my name is Ralph, i am kinda new to this so please bear with me. I have written a .net web service which accepts a stream of data see relevent source code).

My problem is then taking that dataset and pushing the data into a table on my SQL server. The elements in the xml and the field names of my SQL table 'BondStatus' are exactly the same. The table names are different the xml has 'Table' as its table name and so on. As you can see from the code I have tried table mappings, assigns, merges etc with no luck. Ladies and gents if anyone has a clue as to what I am doing and can help me, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Ralph Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105211

    - AdoHelper Dependency Problem Hi I'm using the GotDotNet.ApplicationBlocks.Data.AdoHelper class in one of my projects, and it's working fine on my development machine. the problem however arises when deploying the project to another machine. I get a FileNotFoundException in the type initializer of AdoHelper. It claims it can't find a dependency, although inspection of the AdoHelper source code seems to show that it doesn't depend on anything other than the .Net Framework. The specific line of code which fails is this: Additionally the stack trace shows that the error occurs within a System.Reflection class. AdoHelper adoHelper = AdoHelper.CreateHelper("GotDotNet.ApplicationBlocks.Data","GotDotNet.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlServer"); Interestingly it seems to work fine if I create the SqlServer helper directly.

    - Reading a dataset into XML I have a table in my SQL Server that I am loading into a datatable. I am then saving the dataset that this table is a member of (it's the only table in the dataset) to an XML file so that I can use it offline in another part of my program. The code I use for this is: ds.WriteXML("c:\clients.xml") 'DS is my dataset object This generates an XML file like the following (the entire XML file is included in this post at the end of the message) <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <ClientData> <Clients> <c_recordid>1</c_recordid> <c_name>NOL</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>2</c_recordid> <c_name>TCG</c_name> </Clients> .more clients. </ClientData> In another part of my program, which is designed to use when you're offline and can't connect to the SQL server, I want to reload this information back into a datatable. I do so using the following code: ds = New DataSet("ClientData") ds.ReadXml("c:\clients.xml") dt = ds.Tables("Clients") Next, I try to refer to a specific row in the Clients data table in the following manner: Dim rows as datarow() = dt.select("c_recordid=" + clientid.tostring) 'ClientID is an integer being passed to the subroutine Try Dim row as datarow = rows(0) Catch ex as Exception Msgbox ex.tostring End Try Because c_recordid is the unique key for the table, I know that only one row will be returned - hence I can logically refer to row(0). However, when I call the subroutine setting the ClientID variable to 2,3.10, or 11, I get the following exception when referring trying to access rows(0): System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. This does not happen when I set ClientID = 1,4,5,6,7,8, or 9. I know all of these are valid because I've looked at the XML file in it's entirety. I've checked for strange characters that might be messing it up and haven't found anything - all in all, I thought it would be an easy process, but the only thing that is consistent is the ClientID's I can't access. Can anyone direct me to what I'm doing wrong, or what might be causing this thing to blow up? I'd appreciate any help. One last thing. I HAVE written a little subroutine to loop through each row in the datatable. Dim r as datarow For each r in dt.rows Msgbox r(0) 'Msgbox's the clientid column (1-11) Next r This works fine. I see all 11 clients when I loop through them, but cannot use the .select method to consistently get a particular one. Thanks, Chet Here is the XML file in it's entirety: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <ClientData> <Clients> <c_recordid>1</c_recordid> <c_name>NOL</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>2</c_recordid> <c_name>TCG</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>3</c_recordid> <c_name>CHN</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>4</c_recordid> <c_name>CNT</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>5</c_recordid> <c_name>CityNet</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>6</c_recordid> <c_name>IFN</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>7</c_recordid> <c_name>IU</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>8</c_recordid> <c_name>Lilly</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>9</c_recordid> <c_name>Plainfield</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>10</c_recordid> <c_name>St. Vincent</c_name> </Clients> <Clients> <c_recordid>11</c_recordid> <c_name>IFW</c_name> </Clients> </ClientData> Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105180

Concurrency violation: the UpdateCommand affected 0 records. at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataRow[] dataRows, DataTableMapping tableMapping) at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataTable dataTable) Here is the code: SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strCon) ; try { con.Open() ; daAllSigns = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlAllSigns,con) ; SqlCommandBuilder cb = new SqlCommandBuilder(daAllSigns) ; daAllSigns.Fill(dsGrids,"AllSigns") ; daQueSigns = new SqlDataAdapter(QueSigns,con) ; daQueSigns.Fill(dsGrids,"QueSigns") ; // Change record dsGrids.Tables["AllSigns"].Rows[3]["Sign_Brand"] = "TEST BRAND" ; dsGrids.Tables["AllSigns"].Rows[3]["Sign_SignDesc"] = "TEST DESC" ; daAllSigns.Update(dsGrids.Tables["AllSigns"]) ; catch(Exception exc) { Debug.WriteLine(exc.Message + " " + exc.StackTrace) ; } Does anyone know why this error could be coming up, the code seems pretty straight forward to me....

    - SQLClient Exception - Retrying Upon executing a stored procedure using the Data Access application block's SQLHelper class, I would like to continually retry to execute it every 1 second up to 3 times if an exception occurs. For example, if for some reason the database server is down, a timeout occurs, etc. I would like to automatically retry a certain number of times before giving up. What is the best way to accomplish this? Below is what I envision (pseudo-code): Dim Retries As Integer = 0 Dim Try '// execute database command here SQLHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(...) Catch ex AS SQLException If Retries <= 3 Then Sleep(1000) SQLHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(...) End If End Try The problem I have with the code above is that I have duplicate code (SQLHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(...)). The other problem I have, is what happens when an exception occurs in the Catch block? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shawn Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105161

    - too much for stored procedure execution Hi, I'm trying to write efficient C# code to execute a stored procedure. The stored procedure takes in 5 arguments. I'm doing a foreach loop to write a lot, and I mean a lot of data to the DB. Is the following the most efficient and best way to write tons and tons of data into the DB using a stored procedure that required 5 arguments? Remember the code below is called numerous times. foreach (MyClass obj in CollectionOfObjects) { try { SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("MyStoredProcedure",sqlcon); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; SqlParameter param; param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@first_name", SqlDbType.VarChar); param.Value = obj.first_name; param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@last_name", SqlDbType.VarChar); param.Value = obj.last_name; param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@a", SqlDbType.Int); param.Value = obj.a; param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@b", SqlDbType.Int); param.Value = obj.b; param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@c", SqlDbType.Int); param.Value = obj.c; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } catch {} } Thanks Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105159

    - Patterns And Practices [Copied from microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp, no answer up to now and probably was wrong group anyways] I downloaded the patterns and practices enterprise library and found that it is much different for the Data library that I am used to (SqlHelper)..It's not just an update but a total rewrite. Anywho, figured out how to get it to work which wasn't too hard. What I haven't found and am having trouble with is updating and inserting into a database. In the SqlHelper library, there were methods such as ExecuteScalarTypedParams and such which allowed all parameters to be inside a dataset and you just passed the dataset. This was great because all of our data access routines returned a dataset. We would just modify the data and pass this same dataset/table/row back to the SqlHelper method and it would get updated using our stored procedures in Sql Server. Now, afaik, there are no methods which take a dataset for parameters. I have to manually created the parameters, one by one and then add them to the collection. Is there a better way, maybe they do exist but I haven't seen them? Anywho, I could always write a method in my applications that would take a dataset and build the parameters based on column name, column data type, and compare vs the stored procedures, but if it already exists, I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks in advance, Mythran Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105152

    - Unknown Query Engine Error Forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this question, but I'm not really sure where I should ask it. I am using Crystal Reports to produce a report against a SQLServer database. Up until 2 weeks ago, the report worked fine. No event was noticed that might explain why the report stopped working, but now running it produces an error "Unknown Query Engine Error". The datasource is a stored procedure joined to a view and 2 tables. I don't know the EXACT connection string that Crystal Reports is generating, but it would be you should be able to get the idea from this: SELECT vwCurrentFacilityInfo.FacilityName, tblItem.DecalNumber, tblPerson.LastName FROM dbo.spPropertyTagLetterItems() LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblItem ON dbo.spPropertyTagLetterItems.ItemID = dbo.tblItem.ItemID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.vwCurrentFacilityInfo ON dbo.spPropertyTagLetterItems.ParentID = dbo.vwCurrentFacilityInfo.FDEPFacilityID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblPerson ON dbo.vwCurrentFacilityInfo.SiteManagerID = dbo.tblPerson.PersonnelID As I said, this worked until 2 weeks ago, and STILL works if I try generate the report against the a copy of the database residing on a different server ((local) on my development machine). Any ideas? Thanks, Pat Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105151

    - OleDbDataAdapter.Fill Error ("The provider could not determine the Object value) ADODB.Recordset Hi, I am trying to fill a DataSet using an ADODB.recordset: OleDBDataAdapter.Fill(DataSet, Recordset, "Table1") This works fine in most part but on other occasions I get the error below: "The provider could not determine the Object value. For example, the row was just created, the default for the Object column was not available, and the consumer had not yet set a new Object value." This seems to be a data issue, as when the recordset is empty then no error occurs but the the fields are correct in the DataSet. What does this error mean and are there any ways around it? Help is appreciated, Leroy. Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105143

    - single large vs multiple small SP calls - speed + efficiency I have a collection of objects (eg Forms) , each of which contains another collection (eg Controls). When I come to fill the Control collections at startup, I fill each one in turn using a Form.GetControls(FormID) call. This puts the call where I think it is best placed (In the Form class), but am unsure about the efficiency of it. Would I be better off making one "global" call, retuning all the Controls and then filling each of the Form.Controls collections. I know I could probably test it somehow, but does anyone know what the best way to do it would be? Ideas welcome. Thanks Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105129

    - DataSet with multiple relations to Hi! I'm using a typed dataset where I have a common address table which is related to several other tables in the dataset, see below: Table Incident: - PK - FK_incidentAddress - relation to Address.PK - FK_destinationAddress - relation to Address.PK ... Table Person: - PK - FK_homeAddress - relation to Address.PK ... Common table Address - PK - Street - City .... If I use one Address entity in the dataset, I guess that I'll get problems as one row in Address can not satisfy all the relations specified. If I instead create multiple Addresses which I give different names, and the relate each of them to their parent, I get ConstraintExceptions when trying to enable constraints in the dataset after merging the child rows. It seems like it is the rename of a Address table that creates my problem. Any tips? Brgds Jonas Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105122

    - Access Security Issue I get the following error message when I attempt to called query which resides in my Access DB (Stored procedure), "Operation must use an updateable query". I looked at the KB article which addresses this error and it indicates that I need to change the security on the folder and the file which contains my access Db. I went into the folder and and the file and change the "IUSR" account to "Full access". But this did not resolve the issue. When I look at the file permissions of the directory, I see the "Deny" greyed out but checked for "Special Permissions" and "Write". the "Special Permissions" is not checked for "Allow" and it is checked for "Special Permissions". Is this the way it is suppose to be? Any ideas as to what else I should look at so that I can do an update on the Access DB? Thanks in advance for your assistance!!! Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105113

    - constraint message box Hi, I have a dataset containing constraints. (not null, and size constraints on table columns). When the constraint is violated, a message box appears showing the constraint violation. Is there any way to catch these constraint violations WITHOUT doing one of the following: 1) disabling the constraints and manually checking - because what is the point of that? If I wanted manual checks I wouldn't bother with fillschema or specifying the constraints at all. 2) installing a thread exception handler and parsing the exception message, because different database languages and collation orders will break it, not to mention foreign windows versions (A requirement in our case). Is there any way of handling these constraints, I am even happy to inherit and override the dataset. What method in the dataset actually pops up this rediculous message without providing a developer hook to customise or handle the error? Surely the clever boys at Microsoft did not just write code to pop up a message without thinking that we might have other plans for the error message. Regards Craig Tag: DataView sort Tag: 105111

I have an xml from two different database source that I load into the dataset.
one of the column is a date field and I want to sort the date. Its sorting
the date as string as the datatype for the column is string.
Can I change the datatype of the column ?
since I cannot sort it on the database side can I do it in the dataview ?
Please help...

Thanks,

No you cannot, however you can add a column with an expression and than use
that.

I hope this helps?
