    - Reading - Parsing Records From An LDAP LDIF File In .Net? Reading - Parsing Records From An LDAP LDIF File In .Net? I am in need of a .Net class that will allow for the parsing of a LDAP LDIF file. An LDIF file is the standard format for representing LDAP objects. I need to be able to read the records from an LDIF file into .Net. There exists a Perl module that will do exactly this called Net::LDAP::LDIF but I am wanting to port my code over to .Net and cannot find anything with similar LDIF functionality. I would like to avoid having to write my own .Net class to read the LDIF file and create record objects. I am sure I am not that only person that needs to do this that is using .Net. Does there exist a .Net class that will read LDIF files? Is there a third party .Net class that can be purchased that can read an LDIF file? Any help would be appreciated, Jean-Marie Vaneskahian jean@vaneskahian.com Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129671

    - timeout question Hello, I have a connection string that looks like: "SERVER=MyServer;DATABASE=MyDatabase;UID=Myuser;Connect Timeout=900;" However, when I try to run the following, it times out after MUCH less than 15 minutes: Private Sub RunUpdateTransaction(ByVal UpdateSQL As String, ByVal UpdateConn As SqlConnection) Dim trnDeleteQuery As SqlTransaction = UpdateConn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.Serializable, "DeleteQuery") Dim cmdDeleteQuery As New SqlCommand(UpdateSQL, UpdateConn, trnDeleteQuery) Try Dim iUpdated As Integer iUpdated = cmdDeleteQuery.ExecuteNonQuery 'trnDeleteQuery.Rollback() trnDeleteQuery.Commit() Catch ex As Exception Throw ex Finally If Not cmdDeleteQuery Is Nothing Then cmdDeleteQuery.Dispose() If Not trnDeleteQuery Is Nothing Then trnDeleteQuery.Dispose() End Try End Sub My delete query looks like: DELETE FROM Table1 WHERE MyID IN (1,2,3,4,5); DELETE FROM Table2 WHERE MyID IN (1,2,3,4,5) However, there are about 32000 values in my where.

    - Transaction limitations I am updating a table of a few million records with a update file i.e based on the data in the update file, I am updating my records. My code throws an error everytime it reaches a particular record. The record is fine, logic is fine. If I use the same code with a file that has data for only that record to be updated, it works fine. I wonder if there is a limit to the number of SQL statements that can be contained in one transaction or number of operations that a transaction can hold.

    - Where to Lock when updating a DataTable Hi, I have an C# app which uses a Dataset which contains multiple DataTables as an in memory database. (Currently the dataset is not connected to a database.) The app is multi threaded and adds/update rows in the various tables. Currently I lock the Dataset on each modification - but am I locking at the right (most efficent) level? Could I just lock at the DataTable or even just the row? or can I do without locks?

    - Run SQL against DataView Object Hi, I have a requirement in a current project to show the effect of a particular SQL Statement on a given database table. The statement will only effect one row but could be an UPDATE, DELETE or an INSERT command. The user should see the table row before and after for an UPDATE, a new row for an INSERT and the row to be removed for a DELETE command. I intend to represent a copy of the table before and after the query has been run (without affecting the database) as a DataView object. Does anyone know whether there is any built in functionality for executing raw SQL statements against ADO.NET objects? My current plan (not find anything more suitable) involves creating a function which would parse the SQL statement as a string and determine the target table and the type of query (it would always start with either INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE). It would then locate the WHERE clause which could easily be applied to a DataView of the table. Has anyone else ever come across something like this before? I am relatively new to .NET and am not sure whether they would be a more elequent/faster approach. Any views would be greatly appreciated! I am writing the application in C# although that is probably irrelevant here. Thanks! Andrew Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129646

    - Simple Multiple Row Insert Question Hi everyone, I have a pretty simple situation and I'm hoping that someone could give me some advice on the best way to handle it. I need to insert a whole load of rows into SQL Server 2005 using ado.net. I use custom business objects to represent the rows. So for example, in this specific case, I have a big collection of "Booking" objects. I also have a stored procedure called CreateBooking. My question is - assuming that I need to import say, 7000 rows in one go, is simply looping through the Bookings collection and calling the Stored Procedure for each booking the best way to do things? Is there some other way to get that much data into the database without constantly calling the stored procedure 7000 times. I use the same connection each time, but still, it seems a bit clumsy. I was wondering if there is a better way. Many thanks to anyone who can advise... Simon PS: I really need to use ADO.net to do this - importing by some other mechanism isn't going to be possible in this instance Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129640

Each time the user clicks on a fieldname, the data are sorted. My question is: are the data on each click fetched from the server, or are they 'cached' on the client-side and so avoiding a lot of transferts between server and browser?

    - SQLTransaction IsolationLevel questions Hello, Sorry for posting this in more than one place, I meant to put it in this newsgroup, not m.p.d.f.aspnet... I have a VB.NET subroutine similar to the following: Private Sub RunUpdateTransaction(ByVal UpdateSQL As String, ByVal UpdateConn As SqlConnection) Dim trnDedupe As SqlTransaction = UpdateConn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted, "Dedupe") Dim cmdDedupe As New SqlCommand(UpdateSQL, UpdateConn, trnDedupe) Try Dim iUpdated As Integer iUpdated = cmdDedupe.ExecuteNonQuery trnDedupe.Rollback() Catch ex As Exception Throw ex Finally If Not cmdDedupe Is Nothing Then cmdDedupe.Dispose() End Try End Sub UpdateSQL looks like: INSERT INTO MyTable1(Field1, Field2)(SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM MyTable1 WHERE MyId1 = 123); UPDATE MyTable2 SET MyID1 = (SELECT MAX(MyID1) FROM MyTable1) WHERE MyID1 = 123 AND MyID2 = 456; I have a breakpoint on trnDedupe.Rollback(). I then switched to Query Analyzer and tried to run a query SELECT * FROM MyTable1 WHERE MyID1 = (SELECT MAX(MyID1) FROM MyTable1) I started this query before I stepped away from my desk and it's been running for 2-1/2 hours. Should I try another type of IsolationLevel other than ReadCommitted. It looks like ReadCommitted might be good to prevent someone else from inserting a record into MyTable1 in between my INSERT and UPDATE. From the documentation: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ReadUncommitted: Shared locks are held while the data is being read to avoid dirty reads, but the data can be changed before the end of the transaction, resulting in non-repeatable reads or phantom data. ReadUncommitted: A dirty read is possible, meaning that no shared locks are issued and no exclusive locks are honored. RepeatableRead: Locks are placed on all data that is used in a query, preventing other users from updating the data. Prevents non-repeatable reads but phantom rows are still possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I'm reading the documentation correctly, it looks like I might want to use ReadUncommitted for my testing and ReadUncommitted when I'm using the application in production to prevent inserts between my INSERT and UPDATE. Would any of the other IsolationLevels be useful? Thanks, Eric Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129592

    - New to ASP.Net, Cascading DropDown List in Detail View...Please help A) Destination Table with 4 Fields. 1) Last Name 2) First Name 3) State 4) Zip Code. B) Look up table State/Zip Code with 2 Fields 1) State 2) Zip Code. I created a DetailView Form in Asp.net to Insert/Update Destination Table. Destination Table's State and Zip Code Fields are converted from Bound Column to Item/Edit/Insert Template, Created 2 Drop Down Lists, DDLState and DDLZIP. I am using '<%# Bind(...)%>' for both of them. Also, I do have 2 SQLDatasource for DDL's (i.e. SqlState for DDLState and SqlZip for DDLZIP). My Intention is very simple: When user select State Name from DDLState DropDownList List (example: NJ), in DDLZIP Dropdown list it must show only Zip Codes from that State. In order to Change the Value of DDLZIP, users must Change the Value of DDLState. Basically DDLZIP is Child/Dependant of DDLState. I did correctly setup proper reference to DDLState in SelectedParameters, Control Parameters, PropertyName in SqlZip (SqlDataSource for DDLZIP). This Cascading dropdown logic does work Fine in a Form without a DetailView. I tested it. But I am having hard time to implement this within Detail View. Any Complete Example (i.e. Form with Subs) will be highly appreciated. I will be glad if this example is based on NorthWind Database.

    - PLEASE tell me how to handle RowUpdated with/against a typed dataset I have searched and searched and searched and sear.. anyway, you get the idea. I am trying desperately to figure out how, in "C++/CLI" (Managed C++/2005) to handle the RowUpdated event in my code but can not find an answer that works. I either get the always fun "error C3767: 'FrameWorks::eclipseDataSetTableAdapters::RepairDataTableAdapter::Adapter::get': candidate function(s) not accessible" error, or other various errors. Apparently, my strongly typed RepairDataTableAdapter does NOT expose anything that even looks like RowUpdated. So, given that, I thought ok, I'll do it the hard way, and try to deal with this with untyped .. objects. So I've tried to create an adapter that would expose RowUpdated, but then I wanted to get the existing insert, update, ... commands from my typed adapter so that I wouldn't completely redo all my database code. Well, that didn't work either because those objects are also not exposed. Not even read-only! This is what led to the error above. Is there SOMEONE, ANYONE out there who can tell me how the frell to handle RowUpdated with a typed adapter? I'm begging here. Thanks, Scott "Cmdr. Beavis" F.

    - Generating a collection from a data set table Hi, I have a strongly typed dataset with 2 tables: Orders and OrdersDetails, that have a parent-child relationship by OrderId. I want to be able to work sequentually on each row in Orders and in OrderDetails in the following manner: foreach (TableRow HeadRow in Orders.Rows) { ... foreach(TableRow DetRow in OrdersDetails.Rows) { ..... } } My question is how can I make sure the inner foreach works only on the Rows that have the same OrderId (the OrderId from the outter foreach) Thanks Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129563

    - Good way to do lookups I want to have a a set of "records" (i.e. would have used a Recordset in the VB6 world) that contains a list of say 500 short string values to lookup and then 500 short strings to replace them with when found. What I'm going to use this record set for is to lookup the parts of a street address and replace them with standard abbreviations. What I could use guidance with is the best object to use for this record set which will be used for lookups. Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129562

    - merge not working I'm trying to handle concurrency updating errors in my app - vb.net 2003, ado.net 1.1. I have a datatable with the data the user pulled and then changed ("dtMain") and another that I filled after the updates failed, with the most current data in the database ("dtConflict"). I am allowing the user to decide on a row-by-row basis how to handle the update. When I try to merge a particular row's current values (from "dtConflict") into the main table ("dtMain") nothing is happening. Here is the code (I added dtMain to a dataset "dsBig" in order to access the Merge method, which is still unavailable to me on a datatable as I'm in ado.net 1.1): Dim row As DataRow = CType(objCurrencyManager.Current, DataRowView).Row Dim rowConflict As DataRow = dtConflicts.Rows.Find(row(0)) if blnPreserve = True then dsBig.Merge(New DataRow() {rowConflict}, True, MissingSchemaAction.Ignore) else dsBig.Merge(New DataRow() {rowConflict}) end if row.ClearErrors() The merge does not throw an exception but neither does it get the new values. This code is basically taken from David Sceppa's Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference). Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129561

    - AutoIncrement and MultiStep OLE DB Hello this error starts to really go o nmy nerves. I Searched the i net but found no solution for it. Maybe you can help. My problem is, that i want to convert an Access-DB into a SQL-Server DB (i cant use the tools, because this should work also on systems which only have the MSDE and no access). The error ocurres when the "AutoIncrement" Property is set to true and i try to add the Table to the SQL-Server-DB (e.g. Catalog). The only solution i found for a similar problem, is that the catalog has to be set prior to the properties are manipulated. I do this, but still it doesnt work. I use MDAC 2.8, SQL-Server 2000 What am i missing??? Thanks Matthias This is the code (C#): protected void CloneColumn(ADOX.Table refTable, ref ADOX.Table destTable, string refColumnName, string destColumnName, ref ADOX.Catalog catDest) { ADOX.Column newColumn = new ADOX.ColumnClass(); newColumn.ParentCatalog = catDest; newColumn.Name = destColumnName; newColumn.Type = refTable.Columns[refColumnName].Type; if (newColumn.Type==ADOX.DataTypeEnum.adDate) newColumn.Type= ADOX.DataTypeEnum.adDBTimeStamp; newColumn.DefinedSize = refTable.Columns[refColumnName].DefinedSize; UpdateColumnProperties(refTable.Columns[refColumnName], ref catDest, ref newColumn, Common.Constant.listOfSupportedProperties, "created"); destTable.Columns.Append( newColumn, newColumn.Type,newColumn.DefinedSize); } protected void UpdateColumnProperties( ADOX.Column referenceColumn, ref ADOX.Catalog catDest, ref ADOX.Column targetColumn, string[] listOfSupportedProperties, string actionMsgString) { Array listOfSupportedPropertiesArray = (Array)listOfSupportedProperties; System.Collections.ArrayList listOfSupportedPropertiesArrayList = new System.Collections.ArrayList (listOfSupportedPropertiesArray); System.Collections.IEnumerator propertyEnumerator = null; propertyEnumerator = referenceColumn.Properties.GetEnumerator(); propertyEnumerator.Reset(); string propertyName = ""; while (propertyEnumerator.MoveNext()==true) { try { for(int i=0;adoConnDest.Errors.Count>0;i++) { string errorStr=adoConnDest.Errors[i].Description; } propertyName = ((ADOX.Property)propertyEnumerator.Current).Name; if(listOfSupportedPropertiesArrayList.Contains(propertyName)) // check the property name with the allowed properties { try { Object oldObj = targetColumn.Properties[propertyName].Value; Object newObj = referenceColumn.Properties[propertyName].Value; if(newObj!=null) { if( newObj.Equals(oldObj)==false ) // check if an update is neccessary { if (newObj.ToString().StartsWith("\"")) { newObj=newObj.ToString().Replace("\"","'"); } targetColumn.Properties[propertyName].Value = newObj; Object changedObj = targetColumn.Properties[propertyName].Value; // for debugging if(oldObj!=null) Common.MessageLogger.getInstance().WriteLogMessageToFile("\tColumn property '" + propertyName + "' ("+oldObj.ToString()+"<>"+newObj.ToString()+") "+actionMsgString+"."); else Common.MessageLogger.getInstance().WriteLogMessageToFile("\tColumn property '" + propertyName + "' (null<>"+newObj.ToString()+") "+actionMsgString+"."); } } } catch(Exception error) { Common.MessageLogger.getInstance().WriteLogMessageToFile("Exception catched during updating property '" +propertyName+"':"+ error.Message); } } for(int i=0;adoConnDest.Errors.Count>0;i++) { string errorStr=adoConnDest.Errors[i].Description; } } catch(Exception error) { Common.MessageLogger.getInstance().WriteLogMessageToFile("Exception catched during updating property '" +propertyName+"':"+ error.Message); } Control.GenericEpxUpdateTool.getInstance().GetMainForm().IncreaseProgressBar(); } } Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129559

    - Migration from ADO to ADO.Net with SqlClient I am trying to get to terms with the use of updating through a data adaptor in VS 2005. The application allows the user to create forms and add fields and tables to the database and so the code has to be generic. In ADO, one can read the record,change the value and simply update: RecordSet.Fields(FieldName)=SomeValue RecordSet.Update I can update a DataSet in a similar way, but how do I get the chages back to the database? The data adaptor needs an UpdateCommand, but I cant find any information about what this should be like. Any help would be welcome. -- John Austin Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129558

    - Oracle- and ODBC Provider missing in Visual Studio Express 2005 Hello, I have Visual C# Express 2005 and Oracle 10g installed. After some problems with different versions of Oracle including a restoring of a system restore-point I now have the following problem: When I try to add a data source to my project I can only select Access-File via OLEDB or Local MSSQL Server file via .NET provider. As far as I know there should also be an Oracle and an ODBC Provider available, but they are missing. I tried to install everything new including the NET-2.0-framework, but still the same problem.

    - SQL Migration - Varchar 8000 in SQL 2005 Hello, We have migrated a sql server 2000 database to sql server 2005, this was done through scripts (table, stored procedures and data). To access this database we are using an ASP.Net 2.0 application which uses the sqlhelper Aplication Block to connect to the database. Everything works fine except one Stored Procedure which has an OUT varchar(8000) parameter. We use the following .Net Code to execute the stored procedure this stored procedure: aParams[2] = sSerDatos.GetParameter("@DominiosMenu", DbType.String, 8000); aParams[2].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; sSerDatos.ExecuteNonQuery("VM_SDominiosMenu", aParams) When we invoque the sqlcommand we get this sqlexception: The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 3 ("@DominiosMenu"): Data type 0xE7 has an invalid data length or metadata length. If we change the DbType.String Size to 4000 in the .Net code everything works, this same procedure works correctly in SQL Server 2000 with the same .Net code. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Connection Pool Time Out Hi all, I have the following scenario: App1: Asp.Net Application that shows reports from some SQL DB App2: Asp.Net WebService with two services exposed for clients, and a single â??Checkerâ?? in the Application object that checks every some time (normally 2 or 3 minutes) for conditions in the same DB, and insert some values in it using a transaction. When the time spans completes, the checker retrieves via a SqlDataReader the ready items and make the insertions as shown: SqlDataReader reader = GetReadies(); try { // do something // initialize the transaction â??transâ?? and the connection â??conâ?? try { // insert using the transaction trans.Commit(); } catch(Exception ex) { trans.Rollback(); throw ex; } finally { trans.Dispose(); con.Close(); } } finally { reader.Close(); } In the web application I have few pages that get information from the DB, and after a few retrievals, I got this error: â??Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.â?? So I review all code searching for unclosed datareaders or connections, for nothing. I use SQLHelper in the web application and I always retrieve datasets, anyway, I checked that all connections were closed. Then I review the code in the webservice app, I think it is correct, isnâ??t it? Even though I didnâ??t found unclosed connections, I started to watch the .Net CLR Data performance object with the object Current # pooled connections. The graph never goes over 7 connections; it oscillates between 5 and 8. I also started a new trace in the SQLProfile to see if it audits logout events occurs. And still, after a while browsing in the asp.net application, I receive the same error. Note: the max pool size is set to 100 explicitly. Any idea of the cause? Thank you very much.

    - VB.NET and SQL Server 2005 - Data locked when they should be. LOOK Hi, I have 2 ways of selecting data from my table "Membre". 1- By permit number (memNoPermis) 2- By lastname, firstname (memNom AND memPrenom) SAMPLE DATA: memNoPermis: 1 memNom: Walter memPrenom: Gregory memNoPermis: 2 memNom: Wick memPrenom: Timothee memNoPermis: 3 memNom: Williams memPrenom: Simon He is my weird scenario. FIRST- I run this query. SELECT M.memNoPermis, M.memNom, M.memPrenom FROM Membre M WITH (UPDLOCK, NOWAIT) WHERE M.memNoPermis = 2 It reads & locks the record ! FINE. ----- After, if I run this query : SELECT M.memNoPermis, M.memNom, M.memPrenom FROM Membre M WITH (UPDLOCK, NOWAIT) WHERE M.memNom = 'Williams' AND M.memPrenom = 'Simon' It tells me its lock ... but that is false. Only record id 2 should be locked. The query above should return unlocked record id 3. BUT If I run the following query instead.. which ask for the same record. SELECT M.memNoPermis, M.memNom, M.memPrenom FROM Membre M WITH (UPDLOCK, NOWAIT) WHERE M.memNoPermis = 3 In this case the record can be selected as if it wasn't locked (which is the case). Can anyone help me on this? memNoPermis is my table PrimaryKey field. Could my problem be related to that? I made many tests. If I only read records with "memNoPermis" in my WHERE clause, everything works perfectly. BUT. More explanation: If I read record id 3 with memNom+memPrenom and no row it locked ! GREAT. READS & LOCKS. While record id 3 is locked: If I read record id 2 (which is before 3 in the table) with memNom+memPrenom ... GREAT. READS & LOCKS. BUT Instead if I read record id 4 (which is after 3 in the table) .. it acts as if I was locked already...which is wrong. Pretty strange. When reading with (memNom+memPrenom) in my WHERE clause, If the record I need is after a locked record in my table, it acts as if it was locked already. When reading with (memNoPermis <-- PK field) in my WHERE clause, In all cases it always works great !! Thanks for helping me resolving this problem. I tried putting memNoPermis+memNom+memPrenom in a UniqueKey. But it didn't help. Tag: ODP.Net Connection String Tag: 129537

    - ExecuteNonQuery with error checking (or continue on error equiv) First off I'll explain why I need something similar to ContinueUpdateOnError feature that a data adapter has, and why I can't just use a data adapter. Basically I'm updating a Large amount of data using BCP to copy the data to a temp table in order to quickly move the mass amount of data from a flat file to my database. I Then run updates on the temp table I just loaded that insert AND update the data from the temp table to the production table. The reason i do this is because my data (unfortunately) contains both inserts and updates. The most efficient way I've found to do this involves using BCP to move the data, then running SQL Statements I have generated to process the updates and inserts from the temp table to the production table in the database. I'm using something 'similar' to the BCP code from the PDC 05 Demo's ( http://blogs.msdn.com/dataaccess/archive/2006/01/09/510083.aspx ) Well it appears that when using try/catch if I have errors that yes it will catch the error, however I have no control over it. The entire Update command will then hault not updating any records. Is there some way to have the ability to continue on with my SQL statement if it happens to hit a record that doesn't have a corresponding foreign key or something similar?

connect without specifying the Data Source as I dont want to install

You must install the Oracle Client, but you don't need to create a
tnsnames.ora alias on each client. The 10g client lets you connect using
//hostname/servicename and skip creating a client alias.
