 - Problems with Password Protected Access DB I can access a password protected mdb file just fine when I write a VB dotnet windows application. However using the same connection string and running in a VB dotnet web application I get an exception: "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fpdb\NewGoodGas.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data." It is not already opened so it must be the permission thing. Any ideas? Dan P.S.

 - SP fails, but OleDbCommand does not throw error! BlankI have found a major problem with the OleDb portion of ADO.NET. If you are using it to call a stored procedure and the procedure has an internal error of some type, the sp will fail, but the OleDbCommand object will not throw any type of error. For example, I have a proc that does an insert and I pass in a value for one of the parameters that will cause a foreign key violation. The call the proc will complete but nothing will be inserted. I can create that same insert statement and call it with an OleDbCommand object and will get the error. Other than a return value, does anyone know how to get a call to an SP to throw an error when it fails?????? -- John Mark Howell Tag: Lots of code Tag: 94980

 - dataset to database not updating http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;815660 on this online tutorial i have thi line that i do not understand... -------------------------------------------------- To update the original database with all of these changes, pass the DataSet into the Update method of the DataAdapter object. However, before you can call Update, you must set the InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties of the DataAdapter object. You can manually write SQL and populate these three properties with corresponding SqlCommand objects, but you can also use Visual Studio .NET to generate these three commands automatically. To generate the required commands when they are needed, you must create an instance of the SqlCommandBuilder object and use the DataAdapter in the constructor. If you want to use this method (shown in the code sample that follows), you must have primary key information available for your table. To access primary key information, call FillSchema, and then set the MissingSchemaAction property of your DataAdapter to AddWithKey, or manually set the primary key in your code. -------------------------------------------- I open and created a data binding connection to the form controls using the wizard and i works fine... But i can not make the changes made into the dataSet to go also no the database when i press the confirm button on the form. I used the VS wizard to create the connection, but something must be missing? How do i set the InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties of the DataAdapter object?

 - DataSet Foreign Key Constraint Error I have a dataset with a parent table and 3 child tables. The dataset is filled and manipulated on one particular web page. During the user interaction one of the child tables can have records inserted,edited, or deleted. Upon clicking save I call the Update method of my dataAdapter mapped to the child table in my db and pass the dataset childtable in as a parameter. I'm getting an inconsistent foreign key constraint error. The error is telling me that a certain child key value(1768) must exist in the parent table. The value I'm being given is the parent primary key of one of the records in my database. The strange thing is upon entry into the aspx page an entirely different parent record and related children records were loaded into the dataset. How am I getting this rogue child record in my dataset for an entirely different parent record than the one I'me inserting child records for? I thought I may be loading my dataset with more child rows than I wanted but my dataset should give the same foreign key constraint error if I try loading rogue child records without the parent record in the parent datatable. Anyone seen this type of bahavior before? I had a hunch that the auto generated SELECT statement appended to the INSERT statement of my dataadapter may be causing the issue so I got rid of it. Seems to have solved the problem, but I would like to know if this truly is the solution, or if I'm missing something else? Any suggestions on how to properly debug this error or alternate solutions are appreciated. Tag: Lots of code Tag: 94952

I don't know how to bind the combobox so it will display Faculty.Name, use Faculty.FacultyID as value and then propagate the changes made into the Member.FacultyID. Also when the CurrencyManager of the DataView changes its position I want the combobox to display the Faculty of that member. How do I get this to work?

 - Updating Database I need help. I am trying to figure out the best way to uodate a database with information. I am gathering my information from text fields on a form and I just want to insert them into the database that I have. I tried builing the SQL string and then adding it to a command object and then executing a non query but .NET does not seem to like this approach. I have been reviewing the various VB .NET manuals and they seem to want me to fill a dataset. Can this be done without the dataset? Would I be better off just sticking with regular ADO for this kind of operation? I was trying something like the following and getting errors: Dim cn As OdbcConnection cn = New OdbcConnection("dsn=CMI;uid=;pwd=;") strSQL = "INSERT INTO Customer _(FirstName,LastName,Address,City,Province,PostalCode,Email)" strSQL += " VALUES ('" strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtFirstName.Text, "'", "''") & "'," strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtLastName.Text, "'", "''") & "'," strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtAddress.Text, "'", "''") & "'," strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtCity.Text, "'", "''") & "'," strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtProvince.Text, "'", "''") & "'," strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtPostal.Text, "'", "''") & "'," strSQL += "'" & Replace(txtEmail.Text, "'", "''") & "')" cn.Open() Dim cmdInsertCustomer As New OdbcCommand(strSQL, cn) cmdInsertCustomer.ExecuteNonQuery() cn.Close() Can anyone suggest a way I could accomplish what I need to do here.

The query string works at ms access's query area but when I run the asp.net application, this error occures : "There is a syntax error near TRANSFORM ..."

 - Error: Can't create child list I have a master table named keywwordsets and two child tables keywords and searchphrase. I created relations in the xsd file: ID to KeywordSetID in both cases. In the underlying Access database these same relationships are also defined. The KeywordSet table is bound to 3 textboxes and a checkbox. The child tables are bound to grids. The datasources are the dataset dsWKS1 and the datamembers are the relations KeywordSets.KeywordSetsKeywords KeywordSets.KeywordSetsSearchPhrase I tried several times to make a datamember that didn't start with the KeywordSets table (somehow this seems wrong to me) but the compiler rejected all my attempts.

 - dataset.writexml and diffgrams, not writing well formed xml Hello, I am using vb.net and trying to write a local copy of a strongly typed dataset as a diffgram when the user is offline, so that when they connect to the server again their changes can be sent back. I am writing the diffgram using: dataset.writexml(filename,xmlwritemode.diffgram). If I load the original data from the server, then write it as a diffgram, then exit, then run the program again (this time offline) and load the diffgram, all works fine. However, if I then write the diffgram again, from the same dataset but this time with the local copy of the data (which has just been loaded from the diffgram), then exit, then run the program again and try and load the diffgram I get an xmlexception with errorcode "Xml_badnamechar" and the message "The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name. Line 9983, position 49." This is presumably because one of my field names includes a ':' (which I now suspect may have been a mistake!). But why does it not cause a problem the first time round, and is there anyway of making writexml encode the offending characters? I would be very grateful for any help, Edward Murray Tag: Lots of code Tag: 94892

 - Problem with DataView.Add() : the new item isn't shown/focused in Hi, I have a real serious problem I can't figure out myself. Here's the pretty plain scenario: I have a DataSet with one table. I created a DataView on that table. I have a Listbox bound to the DataView to select items to display and edit in a couple of TextBoxes. So far everything is fine. Now I'd like to add a button that allows the user to add an item to the list. In the event handler of the button click I call the Add()-method of the DataView. Unfortunately nothing happens to the UI visually. The selected item in the list stays unchanged. I can select the newly added 'empty' item manually at the bottom of the list though. But the TextBoxes still show all the details of the last selected 'real' item. When I press the add-button I would like to have the newly added item (row) selected in the ListBox automatically and all the TextBoxes blanked out. That's exactly the result that I got when I dropped the DataView and bound all controls to the DataTable of the DataSet directly. I just don't understand it. But I need to use a DataView so I will be able to filter the data that will be displayed. Oh, I might mention that there is NO RowFilter set on the DataView (yet) that might prevent the newly added row from showing. Can somebody please help me?! I would really appreciate it. PS: I also already tried to use the Add()-method of the underlying CurrencyManager. It's still the same :-( Best regards, Lorenz Tag: Lots of code Tag: 94890

 - Tracking Down Source of Constraint Exceptions I have a dataSet that loads in Xml Data that could be created externally. It is using the DataSet.ReadXML command. Constraint errors can occur as a result of the data being passed. When a Constraint exception occurs is there any way of getting more information as to which table, row within the data set is causing the problem or which line of the XmlFile being read is causing it to occur as opposed to just sorting through The xml file to find the cause???

 - Typed datasets & sorting with parent-child data... I have a two-table typed dataset. For the sake of argument, the tables are "tbl_Parent" and "tbl_Child" (no, these are the real names). What I want to do is show a sorted list of all the parents & within each parent, a sorted listed of the children. However I'm not having much success sorting the internal list... For example, I have an ASP.NET Repeater that I can bind to the tbl_Parents table to... but to sort it, I used a DataView. Then, with in the ItemDataBound in that repeater, I'm grabbing the specific DataItem (in this case, a tbl_ParentRow) and getting the child rows... but I can't sort the children. I'm sure this is possible, I'm just not approaching it the right way. Ideas? -AC Tag: Lots of code Tag: 94887

When i run the program from my computer... the 4.0 fails and it goes to the 3.51 and it works fine. On his computer NEITHER version works.

 - Best practice for inserting new DataRows with lots of 'not null'-columns Hi again, I'm pretty new to Winforms & DataBinding and I'm currently running into a lot of issues. Sorry if this has been explained before. I have a DataSet containing a table 'Member' that holds a lot of columns with info about members. Most of these columns are declared to be 'not null' in the DB. My WinForm for displaying members consists of a Listbox showing basic info (full name) of a member, and a Textbox for each column showing the details of the currently selected member. Ok, pretty much standard. I'd like to have a button 'insert new member'. When it is pressed I'd like to have a new (empty) entry in my Listbox and the detail-Textboxes blanked out. I tried it the way as it's propagated in many tutorials and books I found: * use the NewRow()-method of the Member-table * add it to the Member-table But when I try to add it all the 'NoNullAllowedException's are fired - ok that's what they are there for ;-) I'm looking for a best practice for this one - since it is so standard there must be someone with a good solution. I'd like to avoid creating a seperate 'create new member dialog' that duplicates all the fields on the other form, so i cann collect data before adding the new row... Any suggestions greatly appreciated, Lorenz Tag: Lots of code Tag: 94837

Yes, I think it's fairly likely you need 10 lines of code. It doesn't
seem that much code to me, when you consider how much work is going on
behind the scenes.
