    - Determining Field Size I am trying to find a simple way to determine the field size of a field in an Access table. I am writing in VB.NET Windows application. I would like a code snippet that I can get to work. I found some example on the Web but I couldnâ??t get them to work. I will be grateful if you can help me with this.

    - Strange new concurrency issue My Update logic worked .. and now it doesn't. I went back, examined the stored procedure carefully, examined the table structure carefully, and examined the parameters collection carefully. All names, datatypes, and sizes match up. In this particular table, all values can be set to Null except for the primary key, SalesID. So as part of my testing to ensure the data itself wasn't the cause of the error, I tried Updating all DBNull values to every column except for the primary key ... still no success. The dataset is global, and the datatable is dimmed Private to the form class. The datatable shows a count of 1 row right before I try to update. The dataset returns True on HasChanges right before I try to submit the update. All parameters in the Update function match perfectly with the stored procedure. I've used similar logic in more than a dozen forms in the same app, but I'm stumped -- everything looks correct, but I still get a "Concurrency error, no records have been updated" when it hits the da.Update(dsChanges, "dtSales") command. Anyone see anything? Try-catch removed for readability. ********************************************** Dim strSQLServer As New SqlConnection(strConnString) strSQLServer.Open() dtSales = ds.Tables("dtSales") Dim m_intSalesID As Int32 = CInt(dtSales.Rows(0)("SalesID")) dtSales.Rows(0)("SalesID") = m_intSalesID .... '(all remaining fields set to DbNull) Dim dsChanges As DataSet dsChanges = ds.GetChanges Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter ' CreateSaleUpdate() is a function that returns a command with all parameters da.UpdateCommand = CreateSaleUpdate() da.Update(dsChanges, "dtSales") ds.AcceptChanges() strSQLServer.Close() Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92796

    - data relations question I have three tables: clubListing, clubCollection and eventDetails. Being a newbie I am having problems in setting the relations. The clubListing table contains the fields clubID (primary key) and clubName. clubCollection contains no primary keys. It contains two columns, clubID (there can be many) and clubColl. The first table is related to the second using clubID (one-to-many). I then throw in the third table which is eventDetails. This table does have a primary key which is eventID, however this is how I was the tables related in the dataset: clubID to clubID to clubColl In the primary table there can only be one club ID. This is unique. In the second table there can be many of the same clubIDs containing many clubColl. Each clubColl can contain many records from the eventDetail table. I have a data adapter created for each table. I then use the generate dataset to add the three tables to the dataset. Opening the XML editor, I create the relations and check the box that says Create Foreign Key Restraint only. When the form opens (using a datagrid to display the data), I fill each table however when it gets to the second fill (for the clubcoll) I get an error stating "Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints." So what am I doing wrong? Ultimately I want the user to be able to see the original table with the club names, select the + to show that club's collection, select the + next to a particular collection and then finally show the details of the event. Thanks for the information. Brad Allison UKC Dog Events Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92787

    - DataSet ReadXmlSchema fails on a schema with (xsd:)imported schema Hi, When I try to assign a schema to a dataset using the ReadXmlSchema method, that schema does not import any schemas included with xs:import.

    - Data Access Block and Identity Column Return... I am using the SqlHelper class from the Microsoft Data Application Block and had a question about returning an Identity Column. Basically, I have a form with a grid bound to a DataSet. The user can, for example, Add a new record. When they do this, and press Save, I call the ExecuteDataSet method. I am using Stored Procedures, and in the procedure, at the end of the insert, I do the following: select @id = scope_identity() @id is set as an OUTPUT parameter on the procedure. When I check the value of the @id column on the dataset that gets returned, the value is null. I am just wondering if I am doing this correctly. I will continue to debug the code, but thought I would see if anybody else has done this successfully. THanks, Mark Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92784

    - Sql Command Paramaters I'm building a dynamic command like this. "SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE FirstName LIKE @FirstName" and I set the paramater like this. sqlCMD.Paramaters.Add("@FirstName", "%" & fnameVariable & "%") The reason I'm doing this is I need it to search the whole field to see if it contains any of the text in "fnameVariable". My question is am I going to run into any problems if the user enters in any special characters for the "fnameVariable" (i.e. %, *, etc)? I was under the impression that using the SqlCommand with paramaters was supposed to take care of that sort of stuff. Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92770

    - How to use SQLBinary? I have a varbinary field in my table. (It has the potential of being rather large.) I need to read this value, change it and write it back. I have gotten as far as using the GetSQLBinary method of the SqlDataReader. What I don't know is what do I actually have at that point. I would assume that somewhere this information is going to be presented as an array of something or perhaps as a BitArray? How do I actually manipulate the contents of the varbinary column in my application code? Thanks ------------------------------------------- Roy Chastain KMSystems, Inc.

    - Getting data in class hierarchy (C#) I have a class hierarchy that is, for simplicity sake, two levels deep. User -> MoreSpecificUser In most cases it will only be necessary for me to retrieve information for one or the other. I figure if I dont need all the data that the parrent has to offer why get it. So here was my solution, I have an interface that all classes must implement, this exposes Save, Load and Delete. If I want just the MoreSpecficUser data then I just call its Load() method. If I want the parent info I call base.Load(). Fine the coupling is low and maintenance is easy. Here's my only quibble. If I wanted to do this: public class User: IMyInterface { public void Load() { //open db connection //fill dataset //unpack dataset and fill load object members //close connection } } public class MoreSpecficUser : User { //other interface implementations here public override void Load() { base.Load(); //open db connection //fill dataset //unpack dataset and fill load object members //close connection } } As you acn see I've simply called the base Load method to get all the info available to this user. However it involves TWO database connections. Now this make life easy in terms of code maintenance and flexibility in the app but not sure how comfortable I am about makng two connections to fill and object.

    - Trouble accessing db while using ASP.Net Group, I read Jeff Prosise's article: "An Introductory Guide to Building and Deploying More Secure Sites with ASP.NET and IIS, Part 2" as well as part 1. I think that articles are great. I had no problems running the example code in the first article, but I am having problems with the example as outlined in Figure 4. Specifically, I seem to be having troubles opening a connection to the database, and that's why I am posting to this group. When I try to open the connection ("connection.Open ();"), I am receiving this exception: "Exception Message: Login failed for user 'FormUser'.

    - Use of radio buttons Hey fellows, I feel stupid asking this question because I'm sure the answer is so simple but it eludes me. In VB6 a standard practice was to but multiple radio buttons into a groupbox (called a frame) and assign each of the bottons a value. The frame then had the value of the button that was clicked and it's value could be bound to a data source. How the heck do you do that in VB7? There is a GroupBox control and a Panel control that will allow only one radio button to be the one selected but how does one bind that value into a database? I have an application involving persons and I want to have a GroupBox that has two option buttons on it, Male and Female and have the result be stored in as database as Male=0, Female = 1 in a bit column. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this simple thing? Many thanks. Spence Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92721

    - Oracle connection string with IP address With SQL Server, I can create a connection string to a remote server using an IP address such as: "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;..." where 1433 is the port (1433 is the default) This works just fine. Is it possible to use the "Microsoft Managed Provider for Oracle" and connect via an IP address using something like the string below to connect to a remote Oracle 8i or 9i database server: "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1521;..." -- it is my understanding that 1521 or 1526 are the ports that are similar to 1433 If that is not the correct syntax, could you please identify how to do this.

    - why can I set grid's DataSource to a DataSet but not to a table in the DataSet? I have a DataGrid on a WebForm. When I select that DataGrid and go to the "DataSource" property in the properties box, the drop-down lets me select dataSet11, which is the name of an object instance of class DataSet1, which VS.Net created for me derived from DataSet. However, DataSet1 has a schema with two tables in it -- if I right-click dataSet11 and pick "View Schema" it shows two tables, wbuser and BennettEmployee. Now, as soon as I set the DataSource property of my DataGrid to dataSet11, the layout of the DataGrid on the WebForm changes to display the columns "myusername", "mynickname", and "ID" -- these are the columns in the wbuser table from the DataSet1 schema. So, two questions: - Does this mean that "wbuser" is somehow the "default" table in the DataSet1 schema, so that if the DataSource is set to dataSet11, it automatically maps to the "wbuser" table of that DataSet, as opposed to the "BennettEmployee" table? Is there a way to change the default table to "BennettEmployee"? - More importantly, why does the DataSource dropdown in the IDE only let me set the DataSource to a *DataSet*, instead of a table within that DataSet? Since the data in the DataGrid is being pulled from a table, why won't it let me specify a table? Am I looking at this in some fundamentally wrong way? -Bennett Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92704

    - Oracle connection string with IP address I can connect to a remote SQL Server database via an IP address by using a connection string such as: "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;..." where 1433 is the port to use (1433 is the default). If I use the Microsoft Managed Provider for Oracle, is it possible to connect to a remote Oracle database via an IP address by using a similar connection string such as: "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1521;..." where 1521 is the port? If I understand correctly, 1521 and 1526 are the Oracle listener counterparts to the 1433. If not, what is the proper connection string syntax to connect to a remote Oracle database? Thanks ...

    - Oracle connection via an IP Address With SQL Server, you can enter an ADO.NET connection string using an IP address such as "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;...." to connect to a remote server. Can you do something similar with the Microsoft managed provider for Oracle such as "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1521;.." attaching to a remote Oracle database using either ports 1521 or 1526 similar to the 1433 for SQL Server?

    - Switch to GUIDs - changing the way I code? When using Integer as PK, I would often have functions that would return the Integer when searching for a specific row in a datatable. I am trying to switch to GUID. Before, if the function returned a zero, I would assume the PK didn't exist. Now, if I make a call to lookup the GUID, and that row doesn't exist yet, I can't seem to figure out the simplest way - without doing a redundant function to check if exists first - causing two loops. Simple Example of my Integer based Code: Table1 - TableID(Int), Description(Nvarchar) Private Function GetTableIDByDescription(sDescription as String) as Integer Private iID as integer = 0 For each row If Description = sDescription Then iID = Row.TableID Return iID Private i as integer = GetTableIDByDescription(id) If i = 0 then ' New Record - insert Else ' Use the ID With GUID?: Table1 - TableID(GUID), Description(Nvarchar) Private Function GetTableIDByDescription(sDescription as String) as GUID Private iID as New Guid ' ?? For each row If Description = sDescription Then iID = Row.TableID Return iID Now, without two functions (one for Exists, one for GetID), is there a way that I can rewrite all these code sections?

    - How to merge two DataView objects Hi, I have two DataView objects sharing the same DataTable. I want to merge these two. Ideally the DataView class would have a Merge(DataView dv) method, but it doesn't. Does anyone know how to do this? Here is what Im trying to accomplish. Say I am using the Northwind database and I want to display 2 DataGrids, one representing the Customer table and one for OrderDetails table. Everytime I select a customer in the Customers table I would like to show all the order details in the Orders table for all the orders for that customer. So say the DataRowView representing the customer is customerDataRowView, then I will get all the children in the Orders table for that customer by ordersDataView = customerDataRowView.CreateChildView(CustomerToOrdersDataRelation); Then I want to say: orderDetailsDataView = new DataView(); foreach(DataRowView drv in ordersDataView.Rows) { DataView dv = drv.CreateChildView(OrdersToOrderDetailsDataRelation); orderDetailsDataView.Merge(dv); } Thanks in advance for all your help.

    - Inserting string into SQL Server image column I have a stored procedure in SQL Server that inserts a row into a table. One of the columns of the table has the "image" data type, which maps to a byte array in ADO SqlClient. The problem I have is that the data that I'm adding as a parameter when calling the stored procedure comes from a TextBox on the web page, which is of type string. As a result, I keep getting errors because it can't convert a string to a byte array. I cannot seem to find any kind of method that would do that for me. Does anyone know what would be the correct procedure to pass data for inserting into a column of type image, when the data is coming as a string from a text box? Or, if nothing else, how could I convert a string to a byte array? Thanks Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92660

ANSWER: If you are using System.OracleClient.dll version 1.0.5000.0, you can modify your TNSNAMES.ORA and make alias shorter. TNSNAMES.ora is in oralcle/network/admin directory. For example: tnsnames.ora file has... short122.world = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = 133.231.113.280) (PORT = 1521) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORAQ38) ) ) NOTE: If you are using the System.OracleClient.dll version 1.0.3300.0, you don't get this problem. EXAMPLE: In .NET Winforms, populate the datagrid upon button1 click. private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor; OracleConnection objOraConn = new OracleConnection("user id=yourid;data source=\"short122.world\";password=password"); objOraConn.Open(); string commandString = " SELECT * FROM A_MYTABLE" ; OracleCommand cmd = objOraConn.CreateCommand(); cmd.CommandText = commandString; cmd.Prepare(); OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds); objOraConn.Close(); // Execute the statement dataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView; Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default; } Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92634

    - Can't get value from DataSet without explicity type casting? Hey guys, got a question! I've got a DataSet/DataTable, created by using a DataAdapter.Fill call. I'm writing a C# class that handles all the ADO.NET work I need, and a different class will call the public methods of this class. So; I've created the two public fields I need- Public String _custId and Public DateTime _orderDate. But, I can't get the values out of the DataSet/DataTable/DataColumn without doing (in my mind) useless casting! For instance, this doesn't work: _custID = dsOrders.Tables["tblOrd"].Rows[iCurrentRow][0]; I get the message "Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string' ". To make it work, I have to do: _custID = (String)dsOrders.Tables["tblOrd"].Rows[iCurrentRow][0]; ....or.... _custID = dsOrders.Tables["tblOrd"].Rows[iCurrentRow][0].ToString(); I'm confused as to why? The following line displays "System.String": Console.WriteLine(dsOrders.Tables["tblOrd"].Rows[iCurrentRow].Table.Columns[ 0].DataType); So, shouldn't that mean that I don't have to do anything else? Why do I need to use (String) or .ToString() ? And I also can't get the DateTime into a variable. Trying _orderDate = dsHousing.Tables["tblOrd"].Rows[iCurrentRow][1]; gives me "Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'System.DateTime' ". And, again, if I display the value for Columns[1].DataType, it shows me "System.DateTime". Worse, there's no ".ToDateTime()" method of the Column object, so the only way I can get the DateTime field out is to cast it to a string, and then convert it back to a DateTime. Compared to my problem with the String column, I'm doing twice the un-necessary work just to get the DateTime column! Is this really what's supposed to happen? If the DataType shows string, why do I need to perform an explicit conversion from object to string? It seems like I'm doing un-necessary work; if the value is stored as a certain datatype, I should be able to pull it out of the DataTable and put it into a variable of the same type. I even toyed with the idea of .NET assuming I wanted the DataColumn being put into a String- but I can't find a property of DataColumn that just gives me the value. In classic ADO, there was a Field object, which had a Value property. I can understand "DataColumn" being an object, but is there a specific property for pulling the value out of DataColumn? For instance, if those code samples I just gave would be in classic ADO, I would be trying to say _CustID = rs.Fields(x).Value. Oh I'm using VS 2003.NET EA, with WinXP, .NET 1.1, and have "Using System.Data" and "Using System.Data.OracleClient" at the top of my C# class definition. At first I thought this might be Oracle related, but DataSet/DataTable/DataColumn is part of the System.Data namespace. Thanks! -Thomas Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92627

To use a specific example from the Customer table I would like to create a query similar to: select * from Northwind..Customers where ContactName like 'Maria%' Paul =?Utf-8?B?RGF2dWQgQnJuY2g=?= wrote: > Yes here is a sample: > System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter[] parms = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter [1]; > DataSet ds; > parms[0] = new SqlParameter( "@CustomerID","ALFKI"); > ds = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(ConnectionString,CommandType.Text,"Select * >From Customers where CustomerID= @CustomerID",parms); > return ds; > > David > > > > "Paul Wolpe" wrote: > > > Is there a way to use a like statement with a SqlParameter and the > > Microsoft Data Access Block? > > > > I would like to be able to do this: > > > > int CustomerID = (int) SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar( > > ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connectionString"], > > CommandType.Text, > > @"select CustomerId > > from Northwind..Customers > > where ContactName like '%@customer_name%'", > > new SqlParameter("@customer_name",CustomerName) > > ); > > > > Since the DAB already quotes my SqlParameter, SqlServer ends up seeing > > extra quote signs.

    - Issues with connecting from .NET to Sybase ASE 12 If anyone out there has been successful in connecting to Sybase ASE 12 from Visual Studio .NET 2003 either in a Windows Forms or Reporting Services project, can you please help me. .... In summary, I wish to: (a) create a Windows Forms application using VB.NET (Visual Studio .NET 2003 and .NET Framework 1.1) that will connect to Sybase ASE 12.0 to execute stored procedures. (b) create a SQL Server Reporting Services report using Visual Studio .NET 2003, .NET Framework 1.1 and SQL Server Reporting Services that will connect to Sybase ASE 12.0 also via stored procedures. I have Sybase 12 Client installed on my development machine and am able to connect to a test server from this machine using SQL Advantage. My code for (a) is: >>>>> Dim sybaseconn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim sybaseconnstring As String = "Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider;Server Name=XXXXXX;Initial Catalog=YYYYYY;User ID=UUUUUU;Password=PPPPPP;" Try sybaseconn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(sybaseconnstring) sybaseconn.Open() Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) Finally Select Case sybaseconn.State Case ConnectionState.Broken, ConnectionState.Closed Case Else sybaseconn.Close() sybaseconn.Dispose() End Select sybaseconn = Nothing End Try >>>>> When I run this, I receive the following message on the Open() line: "The 'Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider' provider is not registered on the local machine." and this is the exception: ?ex {System.InvalidOperationException} [System.InvalidOperationException]: {System.InvalidOperationException} HelpLink: Nothing InnerException: {System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException} Message: "The 'Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider' provider is not registered on the local machine." Source: "System.Data" StackTrace: " at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.CreateProviderError(Int32 hr) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.CreateProvider(OleDbConnectionString constr) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open() at Sybase_Stuff.Form1.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Documents and Settings\allchini\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Sybase Stuff\Form1.vb:line 98" TargetSite: {System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo} My problem with (b) is as follows: In my Reporting Services project in Visual Studio .NET 2003 I attempt to set up a shared data source by selecting Add New Datasource. This displays the Data Link Properties dialog. On the Provider tab, I select "Sybase ASE OLE DB Provider". When I press Next or OK, I receive the following message: Microsoft Data Link Error Provider is no longer available. Ensure that the provider is installed properly. Can you tell me how to achieve (a) and/ or (b)? Thanks Ian Allchin Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92615

    - testing try/catch when filling a data adapter Hello. This may be a dumb question, but it's driving me crazy. The function is supposed to to fill a datatable. It works just fine, but I'm testing to make sure my error handling works so I changed the name of the stored procedure so I know I will get an error. However, for some reason, my try/catch does not catch the error. Instead, the program seems to stop. Does this make sense? Do you have any ideas why this happens? Thank you! Protected sub Run(ByVal sprocName As String, ByVal parameters() As SqlParameter, ByRef dataTable As DataTable) Dim command As SqlCommand command = CreateCommand(sprocName, parameters) Dim dataAdapter As SqlDataAdapter dataTable = New DataTable dataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter.SelectCommand = command dataAdapter.Fill(dataTable) End Function Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92611

    - dev connections work, test does not VB .net 2002 crystal reports 9 .net framework 1.1 All connections worked on my box. Having compiled the application and run the .exe on a test box, I find all three db connections now fail. The MS documentation advised to include "Imports Microsoft.Data.Odbc" but that was not an option in my environment, so I tried "Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.OpenAccess" in my vb file. It didn't work. My connections to the 3 dbs are: 1. An odbc system connection using the format ... Dim crDatabase As Database Dim item As String Dim crTables As Tables Dim crTable As Table Dim crTableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo Dim crConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo Dim subrpt As New ReportDocument() With crConnectionInfo .DatabaseName = "" .Password = "xx" .ServerName = "xxx" .UserID = "xx" End With 2.

    - Odd error messages Hi When I open some asp.net pages (VB code behind) in VS2003 I am getting the errors below. Funnily enough the project will compile and run. I am just curious as to what they are and how to fix them. Note the errors refer to the page's class (the code behind page): * The DataTableMappingCollection only accepts non-null DataTableMapping type objects. Parameter name: value * Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. The other thing is if I try and open the tablemappings property of a data adapter, I get the following messagebox: "Unable to retrieve the schema from the database table. Source column mapping information will not be available. Would you like to continue? Any pointers? Note I am running VS2003, DNF 1.1, SQL Server 2000.

    - multiple instances of named argument has anyone ever experienced this when calling a stored procedure from oracle? when i open up the form and type in my variable to be used in the stored procedure, IT WORKS JUST FINE ONCE. but, to, say, change the variable and look for something else causes this and the only recourse is to close the program - re-open it and make another call. since the arguments come from the client side, i hardly think its an oracle problem and in the stored procedure, i do close the cursor. is there a step im missing? thanks this forum is great rik ********************************************************************** Sent via Fuzzy Software @ http://www.fuzzysoftware.com/ Comprehensive, categorised, searchable collection of links to ASP & ASP.NET resources...

    - DataSet/DataTable to Excel Hi, Is there any similiar way to transfer data from DataSet/DataTable to Excel Worksheet providing there is not need to copy each row/column cell individually from DataTable/DataSet into individual cells on excel worksheet. Ideally ADO function CopyFromRecordset would be suitable but my data is in the DataSet/DataTable in .NET app. Thank you, Nataliya Tag: Determining Field Size Tag: 92598
