    - Does Dataset.Tbl.Clear() clear all tables or One? Does a clear command (ie: DataSet11.TableName.Clear() ) clear just the named table or all the tables in the set? It appears to be all? How can I clear, in order to fill, a specific table in a dataset of many tables? Thanks Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69737

    - Auto-Created SqlParameter Definitions Why is there a difference in the definition of sqlparameters that are auto-created for insert,update or delete parameters when the datatype is a decimal? For instance why is a ParameterDirection property added to these and not others or why is a DataRowVersion parameter added to these and nother others? this.sqlInsertCommand1.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@T1", System.Data.SqlDbType.SmallInt, 2, "T1")); this.sqlInsertCommand1.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@D2", System.Data.SqlDbType.Decimal, 5, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input, false, ((System.Byte)(8)), ((System.Byte)(2)), "D2", System.Data.DataRowVersion.Current, null)); Thanks Eric Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys?

    - How to Sort ComboBox that has a DataSource? VB.net... MS Access data files Got 2 Comboboxes. Both are bound to a DataSet. One lists a groups of numbers. The other associated names. The current method is to list the Combobox with numbers (which they are in numeric order in the Access data file). What I want to accomplish is to give a user the method to toggle the associated names to be sorted or not (not at startup). When I try to Sort the Combobox of associated names (combobox2) I get the error: Can't sort a ComboBox that has a DataSource set. Sort the data using the underlying data model. How can this be accomplished? Many thanks Ralph Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69734

    - Datareader and Isolation Level Hi, I am using a datareader that has been filled with a whole table (select * from table). I am processing every record in a loop which takes some time (this is bad design I know, but its good enough for now) I think the default isolation level is "read committed" so during this period no updates/deletes are possible. Read committed is to strict for what I want so I rewrote the query like this : select * from table (nolock). Furthermore I found out that if an error occurs in the loop, so the connection isnt closed, the locks are held on the table until the .net garbage collecter kicks in. My question is : - Can I somehow change the default isolation level, in the connection string for example? - Is there a property in the ADO.NET command or datareader class that lets me set this programmatically. (I found the property isolationlevel but couldn't get it to work) All the best, Tom Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69732

    - Creating a subset table/view How can I crate a subset table or view from a table? I only want certain columns and all the rows? I do NOT want to loop through the rows and add those to my new table or view. I just want to specify a couple of columns and retrieve a subset table or view. Someone has an idea?

    - Can't edit a field in a dataset I've created a dataset from a query that returns a column from an amalgamation of fields in the database. e.g. SELECT [FirstName] & ' ' & [LastName] AS [FullName] FROM [tblPeople] However, when I try to modify the value of this column ([FullName], in the example), I get an error saying it's read only. I can edit the other columns just fine, but I cannot modify this one. Is there any way to make the dataset allow me to modify data in this column? The dataset just contains throwaway data that I'm never going to write back to the database anyway. - Don Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69728

    - Connection Pool error. I am getting the following SQL exception: Error: ReadSessionData: Error 1 - Type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider Target Site: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection GetConnection(Boolean ByRef) Description: General network error. Check your network documentation.

Does anyone know the cause? I can connect with the database with Enterprise Manager and the database seems intact. I can't figure out why I am getting this error. It seems to occur the most when I install a new version of my application. Once the application runs once without error it seems that this error goes away. Any ideas? Thank you.

    - DataSet Merge Question/Problem Hi All I am working with a mailing database and I retrieve the mailing database and hang onto this information in a dataset. I'm then retrieving another dataset with more mailing addresses from a different database and merging it with the other dataset by calling the originalds.merge(newds); this works wonderfully and the new data shows up in my datagrid control. problem is when I call the update to write the newely merged rows back to the original database nothing gets written and when i do a retrival from the original database I loose all merged information. I've tracked the problem down to the rowstates of the merged rows... they have the state of unchanged??? shouldn't these be in the state of added ??? I noticed that you can't change a rowstate within a dataset using the property for the row. Whats the problem and how can I get around it? I've also tried messing around with the acceptchanges and getchanges functions for further testing but nothing worked? Any help is appreciated.

    - Odd ExecuteReader Error Finally run out of ideas on this one.... Just to get it outta the way, the environment: 2 NLB Web servers (each Win2003, IIS6, 2G memory, 2 physical/4 logical CPU, 2 NICs, Unicast) 1 DB Server (Win2K, SQL2K, 2G memory, 2 physical/logical.. no hyperthreading) I'm periodically getting a "Timeout Expired..." error on SqlCommand.ExecuteReader for VERY simply INSERTs and UPDATEs (no stored procedures) ex. INSERT INTO MyTable (fields) VALUES(values), UPDATE MyTable SET... WHERE MyTableKey=@MyKeyValue It happens on a variety of tables, none of which have triggers. The SQLCommand timeout value is set to 60. SQL Server is showing no blocks, long lock wait times, or anything else that would indicate a problem on the DB server. No backups or replication snapshots at these time either. In fact, the DB server is humming along nicely. Also, using non-pooled connections or pooled connections does not seem to make a difference. There are some strange things: First, only seeing it at the top of the hour, but there is nothing specifically running at the top of the hour I can find. (no jobs, recycling of app pool, other services running) Doesn't seem to be related to load (sometimes happens at peak, other times off peak (ex. 8pm) Second, only happens on sites that are NLB... there is an asp.net site on one of the servers (same DB, similar C# code) which does NOT use NLB and does not see the errors. The only thing I can see that COULD be a problem is that the DB Server's Subnet is the same as Web Servers Virtual and Dedicated IPs on NIC #1 (versus our other subnet on Web Servers' NIC #2) I'd love to blame this, but doesn't explain the consistent time of day when I see this. Any ideas? Thanks, -- JD Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69722

    - Can't add data to DataSet from non-creating thread? Hi, My app receives data via an async socket. I need to put this data into a DataSet and display it via a DataGrid. If I add the data to the dataset when it arrives using the async created thread, my app crashes with a NullException inside Application.Run(). If I disconnect the DataSet from the DataGrid (dataGrid.DataSouce = null), then the app does NOT crash. It only crashes when I'm trying to display the data that I'm adding to the DataGrid.

    - Datagrid with hyperlink columns, need to pass or hold multiple variables. I have a datagrid with hyperlink columns on my page Fill.aspx. I allow users to click on any column in a row. This triggers a lookup using the order#(SubON) which fills in various text boxes with further information. Right now my code looks like this: <asp:datagrid id="dgdList" style="Z-INDEX: 107; LEFT: 0px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px" runat="server"Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="Smaller" Width="480px" Height="136px" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <SelectedItemStyle BackColor="PowderBlue"></SelectedItemStyle> <AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="#FFE0C0"></AlternatingItemStyle> <HeaderStyle Font-Size="X-Small" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Bold="True" BackColor="Orange"></HeaderStyle> <Columns> <asp:HyperLinkColumnDataNavigateUrlField="SubON"DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}"DataTextField="SubON"HeaderText="Order #"> </asp:HyperLinkColumn> <asp:HyperLinkColumnDataNavigateUrlField="SubON"DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}" DataTextField="Block"HeaderText="Block"></asp:HyperLinkColumn> <asp:HyperLinkColumnDataNavigateUrlField="SubON"DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}" DataTextField="Quantity"HeaderText="Quantity"> </asp:HyperLinkColumn> <asp:HyperLinkColumnDataNavigateUrlField="SubON"DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}" DataTextField="NPA"HeaderText="NPA"></asp:HyperLinkColumn> <asp:HyperLinkColumnDataNavigateUrlField="SubON"DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}" DataTextField="RC"HeaderText="RC"></asp:HyperLinkColumn> <asp:HyperLinkColumnDataNavigateUrlField="SubON"DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}" DataTextField="RDate"HeaderText="Date"></asp:HyperLinkColumn> </Columns> </asp:datagrid> What I need to do is carry another variable as well. Since I'm reloading the page: DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Fill.aspx?SubON={0}" I loose the variable on the page where I'm holding it in an invisible text box. So, I need a variable which I've been carrying by url string for several pages as well as the SubOn variable. I've tried adding to the UrlFormatString, but I don't know how to do so properly if it can be done. Another option would be to use postback instead of loading the page again (I think) but I can't figure out how to do that either. Can anyone help? Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys?

    - DataBinding Question Hi, Right now in my app I am using databinding for some of my combo boxes. I only uses databinding to display the data to the user. Here is my question. Since, databinding keeps the dataset in memory is it better just to loop through the dataset table and add each item? Or should I create an array list from a datareader object to display the data? I would use the datareader object however I would have to pass the datareader from the database to the business component then to the UI. Any suggestions?

    - How is this CurrencyManager persisting???? Hi, I have a DataGrid on a form (WinForms App) that has an event that opens another form containing a user control . The CurrencyManager from the form that contains the Grid is referenced in the form that is opened as well as in the user control . Everything works fine until I close the form, and click on another row in the DataGrid. The CurrencyManager_Position_Changed event is raised in the UserControl contained on the form that was just Disposed of! Is the reference of the CurrencyManager in the original form keeping it alive? When the form that opens from the DataGrid is closed, I want the CurrencyManager in that form and containing UserControl to be destroyed. How can I do this? Thanks!

    - HLP: Output Display Issues I'm slowly making my way through my project (this project being the first time I've ever tried working with a DB - Access file in this case using VB.net Standad). But now I've come to the part where I want to work on my 'visual' output format to the end user. The Access file is fixed and I can't modify it (which is too bad). But here is what I want to (hope to) have: The DB stores a Users weekly time sheet information. Each row represent a single project, date of one day of the week, and the number of hours for that project for that day. So a person could work on the same project each day and have 5 rows of time sheet entries. Then etc. for any other projects they work on that week. The DB has 14 columns overall. I want to only display a couple of them. And I want to add 7 additional columns (Saturday to Friday) to display calculated project hour values (each day for that week). Just like a typical time sheet would display... the Project + week days on ONE row. I've the DataAdaptors, DataSets and Filters in place and working fine bounded to a test DataGrid (just to see the raw data for now). The number of rows can be anywhere from none... to (say) 30+... depending upon the number of project the user worked on. A graphic display is thus: Typical Raw DB data Record row I would use (uneccessary columns omitted here): Project; WeekDate; DayHours; UserName; UserChargeOut Project; WeekDate; DayHours; UserName; UserChargeOut Project; WeekDate; DayHours; UserName; UserChargeOut The typical Final output row would look something like: Project; SatHrs; SunHrs; MonHrs; TuesHrs; WedHrs; ThurHrs; FriHrs Project; SatHrs; SunHrs; MonHrs; TuesHrs; WedHrs; ThurHrs; FriHrs Project; SatHrs; SunHrs; MonHrs; TuesHrs; WedHrs; ThurHrs; FriHrs Then I'll need to know how to retrieve the five days original data lines when a User clicks on one of the Final Output rows. This is so a user can edit/delete a record set. The two choices I believe I have is either a DataGrid or a ListView. Or... should I have a blank Access file of all the columns I want... bind the DataSet to it and work out on displaying my data? I'm probably asking for too much here. I don't know. But I really MISS a lot of the display methods that VB6 use to have :( Any help is muchly appreciated. Hopefully I've explained it clearly enough.

    - ASP.NET SQL Server Please pardon my ignorance on this one, but here's what I'm trying to do: I have a table in a SQL Server 2000 DB called distributors. I've got an ASPX which has a text box, a button, and two labels. In the textbox, the user is to enter a "distributor id", then click the button. The button should query the distributors table for a matching distributor id, and return two prices, which is what the labels should reflect. Right now, though, I'm not even trying to match up the distributor id. The table has only one record in it at this time. This is what I'm doing right now: sqlConnection1.ConnectionString = blah blah blah; sqlSelectCommand1.CommandText = "SELECT distid, colorprice, blackprice FROM dbo.distributors"; sqlSelectCommand1.Connection = sqlConnection1; private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { sqlConnection1.Open(); sqlDataReader MyReader = sqlSelectCommand1.ExecuteReader(); Label1.Text = MyReader.getSqlMoney(1).ToString(); Label2.Text = MyReader.getSqlMoney(2).ToString(); sqlConnection1.Close; } As you can see, right now, I'm not even trying to match up the distributor id. I'm just trying to get the prices for the one record that's there. After I get that working I'll want to start matching up the distributor id. The error I'm getting is: Invalid attempt to read when no data is present. Any ideas? Thanks! Scott Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69618

    - Overloading Update method I want to overload a userdefined method named update so that I pass in different typed datasets and through a case statement it would then update using the appropriate dataadapter. Is this possible and if so how would the check go to look for the particular typed dataset? Also how do I define the method? Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69595

    - Connection String vs DSN, what to use and why? Which is better to use a connection string or DSN? Why? It seems like using a connection string is recommended but what exactly are the reasons for this? Also, one of the nice things about DSN's is the ability to quickly change what database your app is pointing to. How is this done with connection strings? Registry entries? I thought I read somewhere connections strings being held in the registry should be encrypted, how should this be accomplished? Is there a semi-standard way of doing all this?

    - Query Group Dataset I have a dataset / datatable in memory and i would like to run a query against that to create another in memory datatable or dataview. In this case I have a bunch of data... and i want to run a 'grouping' select query where i just get all items grouped together for example: Existing in memory datatable (2 fields, qty and desc): Record 1: Qty: 23 Desc: Bananas Record 2: Qty 10 Desc: Strawberries Record 3: Qty 23 Desc: Bananas Record 4: Qty 18 Desc: Grapes I want to run a group query on field 'Desc' to give me: Record 1: Bananas Record 2: Strawberries Record 3: Grapes Any ideas? I know how to do this if the data is in an sql database.. but how do i run a query against an in memory dataset? Thanks in advance!

    - DataAdapter.Fill very slow I am currently having a problem with a DataAdapter.Fill performing very slow or timing out. Our code is written in C#, platform Windows 2003 and the database is SQL Server 2000. However after reviewing other postings this seems to be an ado.net problem and not tied to SQL Server. groups.google.com search: DataAdapter Fill Slow We use Typed DataSets and stored procedures in our code. The query is very simple. It queries three tables that are left joined and has a where clause for an ID, and two dates. The tables have been indexed appropriately. I have tried multiple things to include: Changing from Typed DataSets to the regular DataSets. Creating performance counters to see what is happening on the machines. Running the query in Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager runs in .5 seconds or faster. Changed databases and machines. Rebooted machines, refreshed SQL Server services, restart SQL Server. When I debug in DotNet it always points to the Fill of the DataAdapter. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated. Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69575

    - newbie vb6 ADO to vb.net ado.net, paging Hi, I am converting an existing VB6 webclass app to VB.NET ADO.NET and I'm having a problem coming up with solution for paging the records returned from my stored procedures. As I understand it from the help I can use a dataadapters fill() method to specify a page size and tha page I want. However this will only return 1 page worth of data. Currently in my web pages I provide next/back links and a <SELECT> list of page numbers. If I use the dataadapters fill() method to do the paging how will my code be able to workout how many pages there are all together? I looked at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconpagingthroughqueryresult.asp ... but that doesn't seem to fit what I want to do. In ADO it was simple now it seems to be a lot harder. I realise that ADO.NET is built for performance and so doesn't come with as many built in features but some examples of ADO to ADO.NET in the area of paging would of been handy. Anybody done the same leap from ADO --> ADO.NET and done paging? Regards, Peter Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69573

    - Simple form postback to update a database In a .Net Asp application I am able to retrieve data from an Access db and display in on a web form. How ever during the update function after a page update, the update command does not throw an exception but it does not save out the changes either. It seems that upon the postback no data exists in the dataset. I must be missing something. How you post the data from an edited user page back to the database? if (!(Page.IsPostBack)) { this.oleDbDAUser.Fill(this.dsMain1,"Users"); this.lblUserID.DataBind(); this.txtFirstName.DataBind(); this.txtMiddleName.DataBind(); ......... } No error here, but no data is saved either: private void btnSave_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { try { this.oleDbDAUser.Update(this.dsMain1); } catch (Exception oops) { this.txtUserMessage.Text = "Error occured!<BR>" + oops.ToString() ; } } } Thanks, Ray -- -- /\_Ray Valenti ____ http://www.quixor.com ______ \/ Quixor Flex Systems, Ltd.

    - Combobox vertical scroll position Does anyone know how to determine the slider position (i.e. relative to the min and max values) of a combobox's vertical scroll bar (i.e. maybe a win api call?). I am trying to feedback the list's value as the user's scrolls the combobox (the list is too large to fill the combobox). I can't find any way to get this information. I seem to recall that in VB 6.0 this was available in one of the scrolling functions. If there is no way to get this info in vb.net, I would like to build my own combobox with textbox, listbox and vertical scroll bar. However, the problem then becomes how to make the vertical scroll bar look like the combobox scroll bar (I like the appearance of the latter when running on XP).

    - Adding rows to dataset (a.k.a. can an MVP help me please!) I'm totally lost here.... I have a blank typed dataset designed to hold invoice data, OK? The dataset has two tables, InvoiceHeaders and InvoiceLines. The invoice data is generated by a system/36 emulator and therefore comes in as a comma-delimited text file. My task is to get the text into the dataset so I can bind it to a crystal report and print the invoices. SO: I open the header text file, and go into this loop to attempt to fill the header table: Dim Ivc as New IvcDataSet Do While Not EOF(1) Dim x As IvcDataSet.InvHeadersRow Input(1, x.InsuredNo) Input(1, x.Item("EntryMonth")) Input(1, x.Item("KeyerInit")).... Ivc.Tables("InvHeaders").Rows.Add(x) x = Nothing Loop When I run the code, I get an error on the first input line because x is not set to an instance of an object. Being familiar with this type error I change the Dim line to read: Dim x As New IvcDataSet.InvHeadersRow Now, I have a blue squigly under the x that says "Argument not specified for parameter 'rb'..." or something like that. I find out that the rb is a System.Data.DataRowBuilder object. So I turn to the MSDN library to find out about the DataRowBuilder class. My research reveals that, according to MSDN, "This type supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code." So how the hell am I supposed to add rows to my datasets???? Tag: Does Sort Property Work with non-Primary Keys? Tag: 69559

    - DB Locking Hi, I have an application framework which consists of several webservices, webpages and application all of which use a couple of MS Access database. We are currently in the testing phase of the project so we don't want to have to upgrade to SQL Server yet. The problem is that when the webservices or applications open the connections to the databases they open it in single user mode. No matter what connection strings I use they still refuse to open in multi-user mode. This is the connection string I'm using: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password='';User ID=Admin;Data Source=E:\BORG\TypeProcessor\TypeProcessor.mdb;Mode=Share Deny None;Jet OLEDB:System database='';Jet OLEDB:Registry Path='';Jet OLEDB:Database Password='';Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;Jet OLEDB:New Database Password='';Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False" Can you suggest anything?

Does the dataview.sort property work with any column in the table or just
the primary key columns?

When I try to set the sort property to a column that is not a primary key,
it is ignored. Do I need to create an index or something first on the
columns I want to sort (I am setting the sort property in order to use the
dataview.find method)?

Using VB.NET 2002

Thanks in advance.

You can sort on multiple criteria in a DataView so I don't think that's your
problem. Here's a link that you may find helpful, but if you posted your
code snippet, it'd be easier to discern.
