    - Keyword similar to App(VB6.0) in VB.NET Hello all, Can anyone here suggest me the keyword App similar to that in VB.NET? Iam developing a application which uses MS-Access as the database. In vb6.0 I use App to find the path and connect to the database example: dbname = App.Path & "\XXXXXX.mdb" Could anyone here please suggest me a way similar to that of App I know how to connect to database. example dbname = "C:\Temp\xxxxx.mdb" con.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & dbname & ";Persist Security Info=False") Thanks in advance Jack Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 132065

    - OleDb vs. Sql Interoperability I'm building a lot of ASPX pages and business objects that consume and interact with database data. Some of this is done with data-binding, some is done with programmatic calls to Stored Procedures, Views, etc. I've created a DB class that I use to simplify and make consistent my inteaction with the database, and for all of the aspects of connecting to the database, building the call (query, Stored Procedure, Stored Procedure with Parameters, etc.) that works just fine. But here's my problem: Data that is returned comes back in objects like XXDataReader (OleDbDataReader or SqlDataReader). If I use one of these in my .aspx Pages, it means I've committed to using either OleDb for my database access of SqlClient for my database access. What if I don't want to have to decide? What if I want to set things up so that, if I want to switch from a SqlServer to some other database backend, I can just change my DB class, but not have to touch all of my pages and other objects? What's the most elegant and prefered way to do this? I know that I *could* just use OleDb for everything (including SqlServer), but that seems like such a shame in that I understand that the SqlClient access for SqlServer is supposed to be *way* more efficient.

    - Strange error message I am inserting a new record into a table which has 4 columns, the first being an identity column. I am adding three strings to the other 3 columns using an ExecuteNonQuery. I have set the values of the parameters for the InsertCommand. The error I am getting is that the Input is not in the correct format for SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehaviour cmdBehaviour, RunBehaviour runBehavious, Boolean returnStream) My SelectCommand insert the three values and returns all 4, including the Identity column. My command is: this.sqlInsertCommand1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Customers(CustName, CustAddress, CustPhone) VALUES (@CustName, @CustAddress, @CustPhone); SELECT CustID, CustName, CustAddress, CustPhone FROM Customers WHERE (CustID = @@IDENTITY)"; The only parameter I had to create was the @CustID parameter and it is the same type and size as the CustID column in the table I created. Can anyone suggest why I am getting this error? Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 132053

    - SqlCommandBuilder - not setting my identity column I ran into a problem when I tried to use SqlCommandBuilder to generate my insert statement. The problem was the identity column wasn't being set when I called Update. It was set correctly in the database, it just wasn't updating my inserted DataRow. This caused issues when I went to add rows in other tables that keyed off the one I just inserted because I didn't have the primary key. Long story short... I searched high and low and was finally able to piece it together between what I found in these newsgroups and the MSDN documentation. I thought I'd share how simple it ended up being because I saw some crazy work-arounds in all my searching. There were two key things that I kept missing somehow. 1. calling RefeshSchema to clear the command builders handy work and then resetting the insert command with my mods to the originally generated one. 2. setting UpdatedRowSource to FirstReturnedRecord. It ended up being so simple... sheesh! The hours I spent searching. I hope someone else gets some value out of this. Rob // Set up _tblMain = new DataTable(TBL_PENDING_MAIN); _cmdBuilderMain = new SqlCommandBuilder( new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM " + TBL_PENDING_MAIN, _conn)); _cmdBuilderMain.DataAdapter.FillSchema(_tblMain, SchemaType.Mapped); // Later after adding a row to the table... // take care of the pesky bug in the command builder // (doesn't get the identity colomn) SqlCommand cmd = _cmdBuilderMain.GetInsertCommand(true); _cmdBuilderMain.RefreshSchema(); // Clears the generated commands cmd.CommandText += "; SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS PIF_ID;"; cmd.UpdatedRowSource = UpdateRowSource.FirstReturnedRecord; _cmdBuilderMain.DataAdapter.InsertCommand = cmd; _cmdBuilderMain.DataAdapter.Update(_tblMain); // now _tblMain.Rows[0]["PIF_ID"] is correctly set!!

    - database writing efficiency I need to log 400 values every second into an access database. Previously I did this in C++ using OLEDB and after a lot of experimentation, I minimized the peak CPU usage by writing out the data in a separate thread every 10ms. Now I have to do this in C# and I am uncertain as to the most efficient method (I am primarily concerned with CPU usage). My current methodology is below. One inefficiency I recognize but Iâ??m not sure how to fix is that Iâ??m storing the data in memory as well as the database but I only really need it in the database. Another specific question I have is which database adaptor is fastest with access and which update override is fastest (maybe rows is better than tables?) Thanks, Jeff { string strSQL; OleDbCommandBuilder cmdBuilder; DataSet dsIOChannelData; m_dbConnection = new OleDbConnection(strConnection); strSQL = "SELECT TimeStamp, ChannelID, Value FROM tblIOChannelData"; daIOChannelData = new OleDbDataAdapter(strSQL, m_dbConnection); cmdBuilder = new OleDbCommandBuilder(daIOChannelData); cmdBuilder.QuotePrefix = "["; cmdBuilder.QuoteSuffix = "]"; cmdBuilder.SetAllValues = true; dsIOChannelData = new DataSet(); m_dbConnection.Open(); daIOChannelData.Fill(dsIOChannelData, "tblIOChannelData"); dtIOChannelData = dsIOChannelData.Tables[0]; } public void LogIO() { long lStartTicks; long lElapsedTicks; double dInverseTicksPerMS; OleDbDataAdapter dbAdaptor; DataTable dtIOChannelData; loadIOLogDataTable(out dbAdaptor, out dtIOChannelData); dInverseTicksPerMS = 1.0 / TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond; m_bActiveLog = true; while (m_bActiveLog) { lStartTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks; for (int i = 0; i != 400; ++i) dtIOChannelData.Rows.Add(DateTime.Now.ToOADate(), 77.5, 5); dbAdaptor.Update(dtIOChannelData); lElapsedTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks - lStartTicks; Thread.Sleep(Math.Max(0, 1000 - (int)(lElapsedTicks * dInverseTicksPerMS + 0.5))); } m_dbConnection.Close(); } Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 132010

    - DataSet designer in VS2005 Hi, I have two questions about the DataSet designer in Visual Studio 2005: 1. How can I make another TableAdapter under a DataTable which already has one? I'm sharing the DataSet with the DataTable between two applications, and they need separate TableAdapters... 2. I've created the DataTable with structure identical to the SQL Server table it is based on - can I easily update (not automatically, but from the designer) the DataTable to make the DataTable structure match the SQL Server table? (i.e. when a column is added or modified in the SQL Server table, I want to click a button in VS2005 so the same modification is done in the DataTable). Thanks!

    - Changing ConnectionString programmatically Have the following situation: I have an old C++ application, which I have managed to compile with /clr to make it access .net functionality. For some of the new functionality I have decided to create a C# DLL, being a very neat and handy language. I have used wizards to create the dataset, extracting data to a grid from an SQLServer with stored procedures, all generated from wizards and life is fine. Except: The connection string that I have is of course "hard coded default", so that I could get the data in in the first place. The real life connection string that I want is something that I have read from another database in the main application (C++), which I now would like the C# DLL to use as well. This connection string also contains username and password set from a user login (using SQLServer authorisation). The C++ application, originally being unmanaged does not read an app.config file. The connection string is therefore not accessible through System.Configuration.Configuration. And the MyDLL.Properties.Settings.Default.myConnectionString is readonly, and might not change things anyway. Anyone, please? Or do I have to rewrite the whole db code?

    - SQL UPDATE with a DATE data-type Hi folks, I am doing an UPDATE to a table that has a field for a DATE data type. I am using MS Access. The UPDATE works fine but when I try to place the DATE field in the mix it blows up. The table name is rfi. Here's a code snippet... Dim dtNow As DateTime = DateTime.Now UPDATE [rfi] SET [dateresolved]=dtNow WHERE ([rfi].[id] = @id) It does not like dtNow, so I tried using dtNow.ToString ( ) which it also did not like. Next I changed the data-type for the dateresolved field from DATE to STRING and tried to put in dtNow.ToString ( ) which it still did not like. Finally, I hard coded a string in as "8/15/2006" which it accepted both as a DATE type and as a STRING type. Any ideas on what I may be missing would be appreciated. - Glenn Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 131951

    - Challenging ADO.NET situation (long) I've implemented a solution that I don't really think is very efficient, but I can't really think of a better way to do it. If anyone has any suggestions or citicisms, i'd be grateful to hear them. .NET 2.0/SQL 2000 (not 2005). I have two identical databases that need to be syncronized, seperated by the internet. I've implemented a web service on one server that will return a dataset containing all the currently "active" records. I then need to import (or update) those records into the local database. The records are structured in a simple master/detail format with multiple detail tables, depending on a "type" column in the master (ie some records will use one table for a detail, other records will use another). The complication is that a) I cannot change the schema. It's defined by an off the shelf application. b) Records can be added to either database independantly, but data is always transfered from remote to local, not the other way around. and c) because of b, i caanot depend on the primary key of the master being the same on both sides (an auto-increment identity value). All data besides the primary key should be copied (or updated) from the retrieved dataset to the local database. What i've done is identified some unique rows that I can use to create a secondary (though not "official") key. The database does not constrain these values to be unique, but the application is designed in such a way that it will not allow them to violate the uniqueness. The general flow is like this. I iterate over the master table, then lookup a row in the local database based on the unquie data. I then issue an insert if no records are returned, or an update if one is, tediously copying each field from the datarow to the SqlCommand.Parameters. I then check my local database for any "active" records that do not exist in the dataset returned by the remote host, because a record may have been "closed" between updates. If I find any records not in my remote dataset, I then have to issue a web service call to the remote host to return the single record for the closed record. I then update that record with the returned data ("closing" it). Then I walk through each of the detail tables, doing a lookup in a dictionary of remote:local record mappings that created while walking the master table and insert or update any records there. These records do not have to be updated if the master record has been "closed". This is generally a lot of work, and doesn't seem very efficient. If both databases were local (or even connectable directly via SQL) then I could use a DTS package to do a lot of this much easier (and do a lot more in SQL), but because I have to retrieve the data via a web service, it makes everything more difficult. The key points that I see as inefficient (and am looking for some thoughs on how to simplify) are: 1) Getting the data from my remote dataset to the new database. Manually (and tediously) copying the columns from a datarow to cmd parameters. I tried using two datasets and copying the datarow ItemArray values, but had all sorts of troubles with the dataadapter updates and insertions) 2) having to requery the remote database multiple times for each closed row. It would be more efficient if I could send a list of keys to the remote server and have it return all those rows. Any suggestions there? Any easy way to use something like an array of integers in a SQL parameter to return a list of items in a WHERE clause? I know i could do some stuff with cursors if I had to, but it doesn't seem like it should be that hard. 3) Any general thoughs on my algorithms or any suggestions for alternative ways of achieving this? I'm not married to a web service, but it seems the most efficient. I don't want to "push" changes from the remote server, i'd rather "pull". Thanks. Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 131949

    - SQL2000 error: ... When connecting to SQL Server 2005 The complete error is : An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

    - Speed and memory usage of Dataset I will start by saying I am somewhat new to ADO.net, that said here goes. I have a dbase file with 450,000+ records, (400MB+ file size) I am loading only the UniqueID field into a DataSet and I have 2 problems. 1. It takes about 45 seconds to load 2. It is consuming about 400MB of RAM at that point. Is this kind of behaivor to be expected? Sample code: string connString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=c:\\btest\\"; connNav = new OleDbConnection(connString); connNav.Open(); dsNav = new DataSet(); daNav = new OleDbDataAdapter("select id from test", connNav); daNav.Fill(dsNav, "test"); <-- Takes about 45 seconds The ID field is numeric. There are about 220 other fields in the table (It was this way when I started here). Any help would be appriciated. Doug Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 131946

    - Read XML and transform result table Hi, I have the following scenario: 1. I have an application which includes a database with a DataMain table. I have a Strong Typed DataSet (MyDB)having the DataMain typed DataTable in it. 2. I have an external xml with constant fields. i've created a xsd and a typed DataSet (Products) from it as well, containing a typed DataTable named Product. What I have to do is: a. ReadXML into the Product Typed table Here is what I don't know how to do: b. Transform the Products.Product to a MyDB.DataMain so that I can persists its data do the DB (transform one DataTable into another). c. Or somehow read the xml straight into the DataMain.DataTable. the DataMain.DataTable and the Products.Product have different column names (ID = ProductID, Name = ProductName...) etc. In adition I have a field in one of the tables which type is decimal whereas what i get from the XML is long (I need to calculate a decimal value from the long by dividing by 1000000) I guess I should search for columnMapping or XSLT info but I got lost, I would appreciate some help. -- Albert Benatov Skype: abentov http://albertbenatov.com Message posted via DotNetMonster.com http://www.dotnetmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/dotnet-ado-net/200608/1 Tag: Newbie needs help Tag: 131940

    - Timestamps, SQLServer, VS2005, ADO datasets and concurrency checking I'm using timestamps for concurrency checking when updating SQLServer from a modified dataset. After each insert or update, the new timestamp value is needed for a subsequent update. If the timestamp is treated as a timestamp, the original concurrency check works but each subsequent update fails. Here are the statements that don't work: SELECT NetMemberID, LoginName, FriendlyName, ApprovalStatus, MD5Password, TS FROM dbo.NetMember DELETE FROM [dbo].[NetMember] WHERE ([NetMemberID] = @Original_NetMemberID) AND (TS = @Original_TS) INSERT INTO [dbo].[NetMember] ([LoginName], [FriendlyName], [ApprovalStatus], [MD5Password]) VALUES (@LoginName, @FriendlyName, @ApprovalStatus, @MD5Password); SELECT NetMemberID, TS FROM NetMember WHERE (NetMemberID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()) UPDATE [dbo].[NetMember] SET [LoginName] = @LoginName, [FriendlyName] = @FriendlyName, [ApprovalStatus] = @ApprovalStatus, [MD5Password] = @MD5Password WHERE ([NetMemberID] = @Original_NetMemberID) AND (TS = @Original_TS);SELECT TS FROM NetMember WHERE (NetMemberID = @NetMemberID) Here are the statements that do work if the timestamp is cast as an integer: SELECT NetMemberID, LoginName, FriendlyName, ApprovalStatus, MD5Password, CAST(TS AS INT) AS TS FROM dbo.NetMember DELETE FROM [dbo].[NetMember] WHERE ([NetMemberID] = @Original_NetMemberID) AND (CAST(TS AS INT) = @Original_TS) INSERT INTO [dbo].[NetMember] ([LoginName], [FriendlyName], [ApprovalStatus], [MD5Password]) VALUES (@LoginName, @FriendlyName, @ApprovalStatus, @MD5Password); SELECT NetMemberID, CAST(TS AS INT) AS TS FROM NetMember WHERE (NetMemberID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()) UPDATE [dbo].[NetMember] SET [LoginName] = @LoginName, [FriendlyName] = @FriendlyName, [ApprovalStatus] = @ApprovalStatus, [MD5Password] = @MD5Password WHERE ([NetMemberID] = @Original_NetMemberID) AND (CAST(TS AS INT) = @Original_TS);SELECT CAST(TS AS INT) AS TS FROM NetMember WHERE (NetMemberID = @NetMemberID) Any thoughts on how to use timestamps without having to cast them as integers.

    - Locking Datatable / Data Row Hello, if you have defined a DataSet in the HttpApplicationState which is shared by all current users ... what I have to do, to make the Dataset, DataTables and DataRows thread-safe?

Studio 2003 and mysql essential and mysql administrator. On Visual
Studio I go on server view and right click on SQL Servers, then I click
on Register SQL Server Instance. It will prompt me to enter the
instance name and login information but I'm getting this error -
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied. I'm sure that my username and password are correct. The
only thing I'm not sure of is the instance name? Is the instance name
the same as service name - such as MySQL in Services? Any help?

Hi Clayton,

If you are going to connect to Non-MS SQL Server, you have to use "Data
Connections" in the "Server Explorer" instead. Please also make sure that
you have the OLEDB provider for mySQL.
