    - System.invalidOperationException I have 2 data adapters, 1 connection , and one data set. I use the same connection for all this data adapters. I'm using an access database and windows forms when I change from one record to other on the table JOBS it triggers one event. In this event, I have a code like System.Windows.Forms.BindingManagerBase bc; bc = this.BindingContext[this.ds1, "jobs"]; this.ds1.WorkEmp.Clear(); if (bc.Count>0) { System.Data.DataRow drv; drv = this.ds1.jobs.Rows[bc.Position]; this.daWorkEmp.SelectCommand.Parameters["njob"].Value=Convert.ToInt16(drv["njob"]); try { this.daWorkEmp.Fill(this.ds1.WorkEmp); // ERROR HAPPENS HERE } catch (Exception e3) { MessageBox.Show(e3.ToString()); return ; } } I got this message "System.invalidOperationException: there is already an open DataReader associated with this connection which must closed first" WorkEmp.SelectCommand is like SELECT b.firstname, b.lastname, a.empid, a.njob, b.empid AS Expr1 FROM WorkOn a INNER JOIN employee b ON a.empid = b.empid WHERE (a.njob = ?) I'm missing something??? I use the same logic in other modules and it works. I'm not using any DataReader!!! i'm not opening or closing by code the connection!! TIA Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93914

    - DataView.Sort Dilemma - A bit long I have a dataset contining sorted data in mutilple tables from which I am selecting rows to action. I use the Find method of the DefaultView from a specific Table to get the position of a row in the table. I then set the position of the BindingContext to action the row. eg. Table.DatafaultView.Sort = "ColumnName" pos=Table.DatafaultView.Find(key) BindingContext(DataSet,Table).Position = pos This works fine to switch between existing rows. When I add a row to the DataSet (without updating the DataAdpter, because I don't want to save the changes at this point) the above method returns incorrect rows. eg. If the existing data looks like this pos Key ------------ 0 123 1 234 2 345 and I then add the record 111 pos=Table.DatafaultView.Find(111) will return 0 as it should. BindingContext(DataSet,Table).Position = 0 will bind to 123 pos=Table.DatafaultView.Find(123) will return 1 BindingContext(DataSet,Table).Position = 1 will bind to 234 So it appears that the data in the DataSet looks like pos Key ------------ 0 123 1 234 2 345 3 111 Is there something I need to do, after an Table.Rows.Add(row), to the DefaultView or DataSet to have it rebuild its sort index?

    - Ideas on storing and retriving files in a Windows Application I'm looking for some ideas, I have a project to complete that has a requirement to store just about ANY type of document. Most common documents include Word, Excel, HTML, images, pdf, media files, etc. I was thinking of storing these into SQL Server 2000 as image type but my delimma lays with retrieval. I was thinking of using a Microsoft Web Browser control to display the item to the user. This works ok for 2 reasons, 1. The browser will open the appropiatte application to display the file and 2. I can just use the Navigate(2) method to display the item. The problem with this I don't want the requirement of storing the item to a file (filestream) before displaying (Navigate needs somewhere to go). I was thinking of memoryStream but I see no good examples (other than image files) on how to do this, espcially on how to handle large files. Is this a good approach? Or should I just stick with files stored on the server? THANKS -- Ken Beard MCSD, MCP Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93905

    - DataSet Losing Data when Column Name Contains Colon Hi, Somebody else has posted something in regards to this before, but that was back in 2002. You can see his post at: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=0f0c01c233f2%24988a7c30%24a4e62ecf%40tkmsftngxa06&rnum=4&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3Ddataset%2Bcolon%2B.net Microsoft has also made mention of this same problem. You can see Microsoft's FIX at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;818962 The FIX was posted in late 2003, but I have not seen any resolution to the problem. The problem must still exist since I am experiencing it today (2004). So, my problem is this: I have a dataset that gets populated by calling multiple stored procedures. The dataset is successfully populated. The stored procedure returns column names that contain colons (":"). When I do WriteXml(fileName, WriteSchema), I the dataset is saved successfully. When I load the file back, using ReadXml(fileName, ReadSchema), the dataset (its datatables, rather) have appropriate structures. The problem, though, is that the datatables that have column names that contain colons, result in the column being completely populated with DBNULL. I need help finding a work around to this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that I cannot change the stored procedure (in order to return appropriate column names). I hope I was clear as to what my problem is. Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Regards. Jacques Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93900

    - know the MappingName of a clicked Column in a Parent-Child DataGrid Hi, I have in my VB.NET-application a DataGrid with two DataTables in with a Parent-Child-relationship defined. When the users clicks on a call in the DataGrid, i want to know the MappingName of the Column. This is easy with only one table, but with 2 tables defined I'm not able to know on which Table the User is currently looking (the parent of the child), so I don't know if I should look at the Parent-tablestyle or the Child-tablestyle for my mappingname. does anybody has any suggestions how to know on which Table the user is lookin,g or how to find the MappingName without any need of the TableStyle or soething else?

    - Adding new records when databinding and using data relation win forms / data form wizard Hi, I have a dataset with two tables and a relation between them. I have controls (textboxes, check boxes etc) on a windows form bound to those data tables. Editing existing data and navigating between records works fine. However when I try to add a new record, only the master table is updated to the dataset (and eventually to the database). I struggled with this problem for a while and then decided to check what VS.NET data form wizard would generate in a similar situation. So I did the following actions: 1) added dataform to windows app .Net project 2) connected to Northwind database (SQL server) 3) created a new dataset 4) selected Orders and Order Details tables 5) created a datarelation between Orders and Order Details -tables ( Orders being the parent and Order Details the child). 6) chose all columns to be displayed from both tables 7) selected 'single record in individual controls' The generated form works fine when editing existing data or navigating. However when trying to add a new record, the master portion of the order (ie. individual text boxes) has to be saved prior to saving any Order Details rows. If the master portion isn't saved, "ForeignKeyConstraint 'x' requires the child key values (eg. 11088) to exist in the parent table. Do you want to correct the value?" message is displayed. ['x'= name of the datarelation in step 5]. So it's not possible to fill in all the necessary fields and then just hit 'update' to save the new order. Interestingly the OrderID is populated correctly in the datagrid with or without saving the master portion?! So how should the wizard generated code be amended to allow users to save an order by hitting update button just once? Any thoughts and/or pointers would be appreciated. Thanking in advance!

    - Strongly Typed Dataset Table - Indexed Find returns Nothing I have a strongly typed dataset and use the "FindBy.." function to search for a particular record based on the Primary Key. Generally, this works fine, but every once in a while, the find function fails and will not work anymore. In other words, when searching for a particular record, the FindBy function returns nothing even though the record definitely still exists. I have included some items from the Watch List below: _dstMain.FuturesContracts.Rows.Count 428 Integer DirectCast(_dstMain.FuturesContracts.Rows(273),FuturesDataset.FuturesContractsRow).FuturesCode "NG " String DirectCast(_dstMain.FuturesContracts.Rows(273),FuturesDataset.FuturesContractsRow).FuturesContract "U04 " String _dstMain.FuturesContracts.FindByFuturesCodeFuturesContract("NG ", "U04 ") Nothing As you can see, the dataset has 428 rows and row 273 contains the values "NG " for FuturesCode and "U04 " for FuturesContract. The function FindByFuturesCodeFuturesContract returns Nothing even though I am searching for a row that exists. (I also tried searching with the trailing spaces trimmed, but that did not help.) This table is being updated very often, though rows never get deleted or added. I also noted that the table in question seems to have 10 indexes. When the failure occurs, it seems to have 12 indexes, many with errors. I don't know where these extra indexes are coming from but I assume that they are part of the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dave. Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93854

    - Binding datagrid with datset from DLL I am binding a datagrid to a dataset. The data displays fine, BUT if I do anything that causes the grid to repaint a few times (like scrolling the columns or even just moving the window so that part of the grid is off the screen), then the entire application hangs. I am binding like this: theGrid.DataSource = AppObject1.ds.Tables[0].DefaultView ; where AppObject1 is instantiated from a DLL like this: AppObject1 = (IAppClass)assembly.CreateInstance("MyNameSpace.AppClass1") I tried creating a copy of the dataset in the main program using ds.Copy(). When I bind to this new dataset, everything works without hanging. Is there a problem with binding a dataset that was created in a separate component? How can I workaround the problem without having to copy the entire dataset? Thanks, Yitz Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93853

    - ADO.net update problem with VB and MS Access Greetings all, This is a repost. I had to put this down for a while, but now I have to get it running. I am using an Access Database to store question information for a questionnaire application. I am using VB.net as the front end, and ADO.net to retrieve the information from the database. My data is bring displayed in a DataGrid bound to a dataset. All of my calls to the database are to parameter queries. The problem that I am having is with the update command. When I call the update method for my data adapter, and pass a dataset containing just the changed records, only one record shows the change. I know that parameter queries work because data is being returned and update, just not in the quantities that I want. From what I have read, the update method in ADO.NET should be able to process a batch change, but the only specific information I have been able to find concerns SQL Server and not MS Access. The only information I have been able to find regarding the update method and MS Access were for single records. Does ADO.net send each update request separately, waiting for conformations between requests, or does it send all of the changes at once? I know, if you write the queries properly, SQL server can process the data in a lump sum, but I do not believe Access has that ability. Below is a copy of the offending code. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Edison Private Sub SaveData() Dim lRetVal As Long Dim oQuestions As Questions = New Questions Dim oDS_Changes As DataSet = New DataSet Dim sMsg As String 'Stop current edits 'Me.BindingContext(m_oDS).EndCurrentEdit() 'Grab all changed rows oDS_Changes = m_oDS.GetChanges 'Check to see if any changes have been made If (Not (oDS_Changes) Is Nothing) Then sMsg = "Are you sure you want to save these " & _ oDS_Changes.Tables(0).Rows.Count() & " rows to the database?" _ lRetVal = MsgBox(sMsg, Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.Question + _ Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Save Records") Select Case lRetVal Case vbYes Try ' Save all changes oQuestions.SaveData(oDS_Changes) m_oDS.AcceptChanges() Catch updateException As System.Exception Throw updateException Catch e As Exception Throw e End Try Case vbNo 'Do nothing End Select End If End Sub Public Function SaveData(ByVal oDS As DataSet) As String Dim strMsg As String Dim lngRecsAffected As Long Try If (Not (oDS) Is Nothing) Then 'open connection to Database m_oCn.Open() 'attempt to update the data source da.Update(oDS, strClassName) End If Catch updateException As System.Exception Throw updateException Finally 'Close the Database Connection m_oCn.Close() End Try End Function Dim cmdSel As OleDbCommand Dim cmdIns As OleDbCommand Dim cmdUpd As OleDbCommand Dim cmdDel As OleDbCommand Dim strSQL As String 'Setup Select Command strSQL = "QryQuestion" cmdSel = New OleDbCommand(strSQL, m_oCn) cmdSel.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure 'Setup Insert Command strSQL = "addqryQuestion" cmdIns = New OleDbCommand(strSQL, m_oCn) cmdIns.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmdIns.Parameters.Add("QuestionText", OleDbType.LongVarWChar, 255, "Question_Text") cmdIns.Parameters.Add("CorrectAnswer", OleDbType.BigInt, 1, "Correct_Answer") cmdIns.Parameters.Add("QuestionNumber", OleDbType.BigInt, 1, "Question_Number") 'Setup Update Command strSQL = "updqryQuestion" cmdUpd = New OleDbCommand(strSQL, m_oCn) cmdUpd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmdUpd.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@QuestionNumber", OleDbType.BigInt, 50, "Question_Number")) cmdUpd.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@QuestionText", OleDbType.LongVarWChar, 255, "Question_Text")) cmdUpd.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@CorrectAnswer", OleDbType.BigInt, 50, "Correct_Answer")) cmdUpd.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@QuestionID", OleDbType.BigInt, 50, "Question_ID")).SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original 'Setup Delete Command strSQL = "delqryQuestion" cmdDel = New OleDbCommand(strSQL, m_oCn) cmdDel.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmdDel.Parameters.Add("QuestionID", OleDbType.BigInt, 50, "Question_ID") initalizeDataAdapter(cmdSel, cmdIns, cmdUpd, cmdDel) End Sub Protected Sub initalizeDataAdapter(ByVal cmdSel As OleDbCommand, ByVal cmdIns As OleDbCommand, ByVal cmdUpd As OleDbCommand, ByVal cmdDel As OleDbCommand) 'Create and Setup Data Adapter da = New OleDbDataAdapter 'Setup Select Command da.SelectCommand = cmdSel 'Setup Insert Command da.InsertCommand = cmdIns 'Setup Update Command da.UpdateCommand = cmdUpd 'Setup Delete Command da.DeleteCommand = cmdDel 'Destroy connection object ' m_oCn.Close() End Sub Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93812

    - Updating from active record Hello All! I have a DataTable connected to Windows Forms controls thru databinding. The DataTable gets its data from the controls if the user moves te cursor, e.g. in a binded list. Is there a simple method to pass the fresh data to the DataTable without moving the cursor in the list? Thanks, Sztyopi Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93777

    - Dataview Rowfilter misbehaving Hi, I have a dataview with a rowfilter of: "Column <= '~'". The strange thing is that if I run the code using Visual Studio debugger then I get the expected rows. However when I build the code into its assemblys and run it outside of visual studio then I do not get the expected rows. The underlying Datatable and Dataset are set for CaseSensitive=True. Following is a snippet of the code and some console output: CONTACTS(LOAD): UA: w DataviewRowCount: 1 CONTACT_TYPE_PL <= 'w' R True 1 Dim privchar As String If "~()#\/=><+-*%&|^'""[]".IndexOf(Me._synonyms.UserPriv) >= 0 Then privchar = "\" + Me._synonyms.UserPriv Else privchar = Me._synonyms.UserPriv End If ContactDataView = New DataView(Me._stuadrk, _ "CONTACT_TYPE_PL <= '" + privchar + "'", _ "SEQUENCE_NO", _ DataViewRowState.CurrentRows) Console.WriteLine("CONTACTS(LOAD): UA: " + Me._synonyms.UserPriv + " DataviewRowCount: " + ContactDataView.Count.ToString) Console.WriteLine(Chr(9) + ContactDataView.RowFilter) For Each DR As DataRow In Me._stuadrk.Rows Console.WriteLine(Chr(9) + DR.Item("CONTACT_TYPE_PL") + Chr(9) + (CType(DR.Item("CONTACT_TYPE_PL"), String) <= Me._synonyms.UserPriv).ToString + Chr(9) + CType(DR.Item("SEQUENCE_NO"), Integer).ToString) Next This is the console output: CONTACTS(LOAD): UA: ~ DataviewRowCount: 0 CONTACT_TYPE_PL <= '\~' R True 1 As I said if I run this code in Visual Studio it returns the following output: Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93776

    - Bug on DataRow object´s GetColumnsInError method According to .NET Framework v1.1 Documentation, the DataRow object´s GetColumnsInError method gets an array of columns that have errors. This description made me think, develop and test a .NET Windows Application in a disconnected scenario. This application has a WindowsForm with a SqlDataAdapter object that fills a DataSet object. The resultant relational data is then displayed on a DataGrid control. At this time, the data can be modified. In this situation, various instances of the same .NET Windows Application running simultaneously can generate a System.Data.DBConcurrencyException when the SqlDataAdapter object´s Update method is called. Note that the SqlDataAdapter object is configured to use optimistic concurrency. If this exception occurs, the exception-handling structure´s Catch block can implement code to show, for example, a friendly message to the user detailing the accurate cells that had caused the errors. DataSet, DataTable and DataRow objects have the boolean property HasError that help developers to find rows with errors. The only information missing to show in the friendly message is the columns with these errors. To discriminate only the rows is not enough. To get these columns, the perfect method would be GetColumnsInError of the DataRow object. But concurrency exceptions do not set errors in DataColumns objects. In other words, the GetColumnsInError method do not return any columns. I assume that this behavior is a bug. Is there another way to reach this goal? Thank´s, Otávio F.

    - Execute Multiple Scripts from one directory I got tired of having to execute multiple scripts one at a time from my testing server to my production server. So I decided to create a batch routine that utilizes the command line routine OSQL. All you have to do to use it is place the batch file in a directory containing your SQL scripts and execute the batch file. I have placed in the command the argument to print a result file for each sql script. If you need your SQL scripts run in a particular order simply rename them accordingly. i.e. 001_updatecustomer.sql, 002_update_sp.sql enjoy REM ############################################# REM Author: Joe Ocampo REM Date: 04/17/2004 REM Version: 1.0.1 REM ############################################# REM You must execute the script from the SQL server itself REM and you must use the SA login or the DBO login of the REM target database.

    - Datareader type conversion I have some data stored in a column of Int16 type (for compactness and convenience) in a Jet 4 database. I'd like to retrieve it into a datareader converted to double type and divided by 10 to restore its true value. Is this possible please (using VB.Net)? So what I'd like to do is have a select string along the lines of: SELECT CDbl(Col_A/10) SomeName, Col_B ...etc FROM etc But if indeed this is a permitted process I can't find what the correct syntax should be. Using the sort of example above just gives me a missing operator error. TIA JGD Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93765

    - Array to Database I'm using OLEDB in .NET to get my data into a database. The data starts off in an 2-D array of singles where the first dimension represents columns in a database table and the second dimension represents rows in the same table. At the moment I have a single connection & transaction and I am loading the data into the database by iterating through the array and creating an INSERT OLEDBCommand for each row in the array and then executing the command. This works but is very slow. Is there a quicker way to get an array such as mine into the database? -- Cheers, elziko Tag: Merge() confusion Tag: 93761

    - Adding columns to a datareader Is there a way of adding a derived column to a datareader once the data reader has been populated or do I need to use a dataset/datatable for this? (I need to apply a function to one of the columns in a way that can't be done within a Select expression and so the only way I can see of doing this is - in theory at least - to add a column to the dr and then to populate that added column.) Presumably if I do add a column to either dr or ds/dt I'll need to iterate through every row to create the new value. Or is there a way of applying a function to a column in a single operation?

(Now you can have many DataReader's per connection and only one per command). * Changes on Database schema support: * All source files has been renamed to remove the Schema suffix (FbTablesSchema.cs -> FbTables.cs) The same for the class names. * There are a new 'Restrictions' schema that will return the restriction columns for each schema. * There are new columns in some schemas: XXXX_CATALOG XXXX_SCHEMA That will make the returned schemas more general and compatible with other databases (what will be nice for .net 2.0 as the schema support is in the System.Data.Common.DbConnection class) These new columns are restriction columns as well (the value will be null always) * New schemas. - DataTypes. Returns the data types information. - MetaDataCollections. Returns all the supported schemas, and the number of restrictions of each one - Restrictions. Returns the restriction columns of each schema. * New FbConnection methods. - GetChema() - GetSchema(string) - GetSchema(string[]) * Changes on the names of the FbDbSchemaType elements to remove the underscore. ** Some of the changes in the Schema Results are: ** * Columns Schema. - The COLUMN_DATA_TYPE now holds the datatype name. - Added new IS_ARRAY column. - Removed PROVIDER_TYPE, PRIMARY_KEY and UNIQUE_KEY columns. (The reason is that the query with that columsn gets a lot time to be executed in databases with complex metadata) * Tables schema. - The IS_SYSTEM_TABLE column now will have aloways 0/1 as values. - Not it's no possible to filter by the IS_SYSTEM_TABLE column, instead filter by TABLE_TYPE can be done using: a. TABLE b. VIEW c. SYSTEM TABLE * Domains Schema. - The COLUMN_DATA_TYPE now holds the datatype name. * ProcedureParameters Schema. - The COLUMN_DATA_TYPE now holds the datatype name. * ViewColumnUsage Schema. - The COLUMN_DATA_TYPE now holds the datatype name. * Generators schema. * The IS_SYSTEM_GENERATOR column now will have always 0/1 as values. * Functions schema. * The IS_SYSTEM_FUNCTION column now will have always 0/1 as values. * Triggers schema. * The IS_SYSTEM_TRIGGER column now will have always 0/1 as values. * ForeignKeys schema: * The order of the restriction columns is changed: 1. PK_TABLE_CATALOG 2. PK_TABLE_SCHEMA 3. PK_TABLE_NAME 4. FK_TABLE_CATALOG 5. FK_TABLE_SCHEMA 6.

    - ASP v2 & 3-tier or 2-tier Dear All, ASP 2 introduces a lot of controls that bind directly to a database. Obviously, this does not work for everything so it seems to me that one ends up with a mixture of 2-tier and 3-tier model. This in my opinion is quite bad as I really would like to see the same structure for the whole app. Can somebody with experience in asp 2 comment on that? How are you handling this?

hello folks,

I have one dataset that I have modified (update, insert, delete).
I also have another dataset that I just reload fresh from the database.
Both datasets come from the same table.

The idea with merge is to merge the modified dataset and new dataset
together with preserving the changes made to the old one.

When I do that, i got duplicate result instead of the merged one.

What did I do wrong?

Hi,

Try the Merge method with an optional second parameter, PreserveChanges. Set
it to true so that your changes in the first dataset will persist.

Hi Toni,

To start with, do you have a primary key defined on DataTable being merged?
