 - DataColumn.Expression questions I'm trying to utilize the DataColumn.Expression property and am stuck on 2 issues. 1) I am running into rounding problems on decimal fields. If I have col3.Expression = col1 / col2, col3 seems to truncate the value instead of rounding (12.888 showing as 12.88 instead of 12.89). Is there a way to force the field to round? 2) I have a calculation col4.Expression = ((col5 - col6) / col6) * 100 which is returning an error message "Attempting to divide by 0". Col6 is a calculated field that has a valid value. I tried changing the Expression to Iif(col6=0,0,((col5 - col6) / col6) * 100) but I'm still getting the divide by 0 error. Can I not use a calculated field to populated another calculated field? Thanks Tag: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed Tag: 73718

 - Long-Running DataSet.Fill Ties-Up System Hi, Here's my situation. I developed a Microsoft Access query that polls a remote Intersystems Caché system where all my data resides. Access has a few features I prefer to use, in particular some agregate queries I'd find difficult to replicate on my Caché system. Here's an example of one query: PARAMETERS [@qpar_Start_Date] DateTime, [@qpar_End_Date] DateTime; SELECT SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV.Buyer_ID, Count(SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV.Buyer_ID) AS [Count] FROM SYSTEM_R002_Line_Detail_LIV INNER JOIN SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV ON SYSTEM_R002_Line_Detail_LIV.Line_KeyTo_R001_Summary_Data = SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV.Summary_Data_R001_Key WHERE (((SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV.PO_Date)>=[@qpar_Start_Date] And (SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV.PO_Date)<=[@qpar_End_Date]) AND ((SYSTEM_R002_Line_Detail_LIV.Item_Number) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY SYSTEM_R001_Summary_Data_LIV.Buyer_ID; I use this query as the datasource for another query. Anyhow, suffice to say that I'm heavily invested in MS-Access for performing local queries and I'm not likely to change that anytime soon. These Access-based queries are bound to some ASPX files which users interface with through our intranet website. In this particular case, the parameters in the query (above) are filled based on data that comes from the web site. All this works very well, with one exception: The user submits the form that executes the code-behind. This starts a process whereby the query is run by way of OleDbDataAdapter. A DataSet is filled, and then further things occur depending on the result of the data. The problem is, when the user launches the query, every other OleDbDataAdapter call stalls until the first one finishes. Another problem that I believe is related is that I can't launch more than one query at a time. Here's a simplified bit of code that illustrates the problem. For the sake of the example, this method would be called by a Button_Click event: Private Sub POsByBuyerUncat() Dim oDs As New System.Data.DataSet Try With oDaPOsByBuyerUncat .SelectCommand.Parameters("[@qpar_Start_Date]").Value = _ Convert.ToDateTime(tbStartDate.Text) .SelectCommand.Parameters("[@qpar_End_Date]").Value = _ Convert.ToDateTime(tbEndDate.Text) .Fill(oDs, "POsByBuyerUncat") End With Catch ex As Exception lblRuntimeError.Text = ex.ToString Finally If Not oDaPOsByBuyerUncat Is Nothing Then oDaPOsByBuyerUncat.Dispose() oDaPOsByBuyerUncat = Nothing End If If Not oDs Is Nothing Then oDs.Dispose() oDs = Nothing End If End Try End Sub The problem occurs when the .Fill executes. No other .Fill statements can run on the same IIS machine while the .Fill is running. That includes OleDb calls in other IIS applications, in other .MDB files, and so forth. My remote Caché system is still running fine, and will gladly run all kinds of other jobs so I don't think it's responsible. I have toyed with ODBC Pooling, multithreading, file permissions, and many other combinations of factors but I can't figure it out. Has anyone ever seen this? And if so, how do you fix it? Please reply, either to this newsgroup or by e-mail at David.PyperDontSpamMeMUHC.McGill.CA. David Tag: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed Tag: 73702

 - General Functions for Using ADO.NET Hi, all, I wrote the following 3 functions in VB.NET. I think it might be useful for programmers new to ADO.NET. You just include this in a VB module. Then it can be accessed in whole project. These functions are for sql server. You can easily modify them for oledb.

 - vb.net MDI multiple db connections? I have multiple forms that get shown when the users clicks on a button. Each child form has data on it the is recieved from the same database but from different tables. My problem is that I can't get this to work without adding a new db connection on each form. I've tried jsut adding a dataset on the new form but it automatically creates a new db connection for it. It doesn't seem very elegant to have multiple connection to the same DB in one project. I'm new at programming so I was hoping for a simple solution. Thank you Tag: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed Tag: 73698

 - Detecting and counting changes in a dataset I have a dataset which consists of a main table and a bunch of child tables. I want, firstly, to be able to detect if a particular record has changed, but is there an easy and quick way to tell if the children of a datarow in the parent table have been updated without iterating through all the relationships and checking each one? Currently I have this: public bool HasChanges { get { DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)database[index.Position]; bool changed = (drv.Row.RowState == DataRowState.Modified); foreach (DataRelation rel in database.Data.Relations) { if (changed) break; if (rel.ParentTable == database.Data.Tables["tblMain"]) { DataRow[] child = drv.Row.GetChildRows(rel); foreach(DataRow r in child) { changed = changed | r.RowState == DataRowState.Modified; if (changed) break; } } } return changed; } } Which even with the breaks, which will let the program get out early once it's found one change, still seems like it's horribly inefficent, especially since most of the time there really won't be any changes. I want to be able to display on my form (which shows one record from the main table plus info from the child table) if this record has changed since being loaded from the database, so I need to do this everytime the user navigates to a new record in the database. Any ideas? My other, related, question is how can I count how many records have been changed? I can use GetChanges on the parent table and to get changes there and then use GetChanges on all the child tables too. But if I add them together I'm likely to overcount some records (where both the parent and the child have been changed). Is there an efficient way to deal with this? This is less of an issue than the first case since I don't expect to need to get that number very often. Any insight here is most welcome!

 - Problem viewing XML file in VS.NET 2002 I have an XML file (data and schema) created programatically from a DataTable. I need to open this file in VS.NET and view it in the data view (grid view). When I open the file the first time, this works perfectly well. However, once I close it (no edits) and try to open again, VS gives an error as follows: "Although this XML document is well formed, it contains structure that Data View cannot display. Column requires a valid Data Type." The weird thing is that this still happens even when I make the newly created file read only. It opens in Data View the first time, then it it fails after that. I don't see how the file could change given that it is read only. BTW, all columns are typed. Some are typed as enums we have defined. But if this was a problem, it seems the file wouldn't open in Data View even once. It opens fine the first time. I can regenerate the same file, and it again opens fine the first time it is opened. Also, I set the read only property immediately (before the file is ever opened.) Anyone have any ideas what is causing this? Thanks!

 - Import text file to access db table (OleDB, ADO, ADO.NET) The question of how to import a text file into the database table has been asked many times. The code that suits me was given by Paul Clement is the following: Sub ImportTextToAccessADO() Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset Dim sqlString As String cnn.Open _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=e:\My Documents\DB1.mdb;" & _ "Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=4;" sqlString = "SELECT * INTO [tblSample2] FROM [Text;HDR=NO;DATABASE=e:\My Documents\TextFiles].[Sample2.txt]" cnn.Execute sqlString cnn.Close End Sub It works great but only if the table doesn't exist. My questions are how to do this if the following table already exists. Will bulk Insert like this work or do I have to use adapter to fill a dataset and then insert into the table row by row. Also how can I check if the table exists then I delete it and create a new one but with the same schema as it had before. Appying the above code to the table that doesn't exist creates a new table with columns labelled F1, F2, etc. How do I create custom columns? I would greatly appreciate any input on this (preferably using .NET). Thank you. Tag: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed Tag: 73672

 - Event handling Hi. I wrote simple C# app, that connects to SQL Server 2000 DB using ADO.NET. I want to monitor inserts to specified table from my app. That is, when someone inserts a row [or entire rowset] to this table, i want to catch this "event" and handle it [rather, i want to get the inserted data]. In old C, this was done with extended stored procedures and system events. Is there any easier way to do this in C# and ADO.NET? Thanks for answer.

 - Datagrid problem? Hi! A stored procedure results records via an SqlAdapter to a dataset. I defined a dataview to that dataset for a datagrid. Some column in the grid are hided. The grid and the columns are readonly. And I have a textbox binded to the same dataview. There is a method clear the dataset, then to connect the server, fill the dataset and close the connection. I call this method in the form Load eventhandler. Running the app, I can see the records in the grid and the corresponding field in the textbox and moving in the grid by clicking on rows or by pressing keys is fine until I choose to refresh the dateset via the method mentioned earlier. Then clicking or pressing keys doesn't affect to the textbox value for a small undetermined time (20 - 50 clicks), then it works fine. While it is not working the black triangle stands on that row header, which was reached last time. What can I do? I need the textbox value for other computing.

 - Losing strong typing when using DataRow.GetChildRows() This is just a general query about Data Binding. I've got a Custom (VS 2003 generated) DataSet with a number of strongly typed Custom DataTables within. I was trying out using DataRelations to save me doing looping compares in my code but I found that (obviouse in retrospect) DataRow.GetChildRows() returns DataRow[] which means i lose the strong typing of my rows (which i *really* dont want to do). Anyone come across this? Anyone any ideas about working around it? Any future plans for the VS 2003 auto- generated classes to provide helper functions, convertion operators or custom dataset/row contructors that take DataSet/Row as parameters.

 - SqlDataAdapter.Update doesn't update Hi, In ASP.NET, i've got a web forms app, which does its data operations through a middleware DataManager dll. In one operation, the web form creates a types dataset from a stored schema, adds a DataRow to the single DataTable object and passes this to the dll for upload. ---begin webform function--- { ForumData fData = new ForumData(); PeopleDataSet pds = new PeopleDataSet(); DataTable dt = pds.Tables["People"]; DataRow dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["PeopleID"] = Convert.ToInt32(this.txtPeopleID.Text); dr["Name"] = this.txtName.Text; dr["Email"] = this.txtEmail.Text; dr["Password"] = this.txtPassword.Text; dr["Sig"] = this.txtSig.Text; dr["ShowDetail"] = Convert.ToBoolean(this.txtShowDetail.Text); dr["Photo"] = Convert.ToBoolean(this.txtPhoto.Text); dr["PicApprove"]= Convert.ToBoolean(this.txtPicApprove.Text); dr["MemberApprove"] = Convert.ToBoolean(this.txtMemberApprove.Text); dr["PlainText"] = Convert.ToBoolean(this.txtPlainText.Text); dr["DOB"] = Convert.ToDateTime(this.txtDOB.Text); dr["LastHere"] = Convert.ToDateTime(this.txtLastHere.Text); dr["SignedUp"] = Convert.ToDateTime(this.txtSignedUp.Text); dr["CountPosts"] = Convert.ToInt32(this.txtCountPosts.Text); dr["Title"] = this.txtTitle.Text; dr["AvatarID"] = Convert.ToInt32(this.txtAvatarID.Text); pds.Tables["People"].Rows.Add(dr); bool testval = fData.AlterPersonDetails(pds); //pds.WriteXml("c:\\pdsdataset.xml"); if (testval) { btnChange.Text = "Success"; } else { btnChange.Text = "Failed"; } } -- end webform function ---- That gets passed to the Public method, AlterPersonDetails, which is, naturally, just a passthrough to a private function --- begin Public Method --- public bool AlterPersonDetails(DataSet dsChangedPerson) { bool nValue = false; try { nValue = ChangePersonDetails(dsChangedPerson); } catch { nValue = false; } return nValue; } --- end Public Method --- Now, you'll note that i've taken the precaution of writing the DataSet XML to a file in order to check that it does indeed change. It does. Here's the problem. When mAdapter.Update is called, it doesn't appear to do anything at all. --- begin private function --- private bool ChangePersonDetails(DataSet dsChangedPerson) { bool returnval; SqlConnection mCon = MakeConn(); DataSet dsPeople = new XPeopleDataset(); mCon.Open(); SqlDataAdapter mAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM People", mCon); SqlCommandBuilder mComm = new SqlCommandBuilder(mAdapter); mAdapter.Fill(dsPeople, "People"); dsPeople.Merge(dsChangedPerson.Tables["People"]); dsPeople.AcceptChanges(); dsPeople.WriteXml("C:\\xmlversion.xml"); int g = mAdapter.Update(dsPeople, "People"); mCon.Close(); returnval = true; return returnval; } --- end private function --- So, there's my problem.

 - opening en closing Connection takes too much time!!! Hi, When I was looking for the reason my application was runnong so slow I suddenly noticed that it was the opening and closing of the connection that took almost all the time. Like in most of the samples I found I opened the connection everytime I needed it, and closed it after my action. But closing and opening everytime seemed to take very much time, so I opened my connection at the start of the application, and closed it at the end: it runned up to 20 times faster (before 1 action took 3-4 seconds, now I have 5 actions per second). So now my question: what's wrong with opening it one time and closing it at the end? Looking at the smaples I found this seems 'not done'? Does it really take so much resources to leave the connection the whole time open? Isn't the use of a property like this a nicer way to handle the database-connection? Property MyConn() As OleDbConnection Get If Not MyConn2.State = ConnectionState.Open Then MyConn2.Open() End If MyConn = MyConn2 End Get Set(ByVal Value As OleDbConnection) 'nothing? End Set End Property or maybe just before every use a: If Not MyConn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then MyConn.Open() End If Any help, any idea's, any remarks or reflections would be nice. I just thinks the much better performance justifies to leave the connection open. Is there any offical documentation about this? Thanks in advance!

So, when I try to do the xsd file, it keeps giving me an error about the tables being nested and are wrong...so after looking and sifting through google, I'll try here as well :) <store id="WalStore"> <product id="Paint1"> <product id="Paint3"></product> <product id="Paint4"> <product id="Paint5"></product> <product id="Paint6"></product> </product> <product id="Paint7"></product> <product id="Paint8"> <product id="Paint9"></product> <product id="Paint10"> <product id="Paint11"> </product> </product> </product> <product id="Paint2"> <product id="Paint12"></product> </product> </store> So, how can I create the XSD for the above xml? Once I can do that, my problem *should* be solved for my application. Thanks a bunch! Mythran the Pro-g(r)am(m)er Tag: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed Tag: 73602

 - Expression Column doesn't refresh Hi, I have a problem. I have no any clue about this. Please help me to figure it out. I have a Customers table and Orders table. There is a relation,named "Customer2Orders", between Customers (parent table) and Orders (child table) on CustomerID. One Customer may have multiple Orders. I have an expression column 'Total' in Customers table. It is computed based on the child table's column InvoiceAmount, i.e. Total = Sum(Child(Customer2Orders).InvoiceAmount). If I add a child record, Total is computed automatically. But if I delete a child record, Total is not reflected. It still keeps the old value which is wrong. Thanks in advance!

 - need XML help with nested tables Hi- I need to develop an FAQ section for our website. We would like to break up the FAQ by products, then categories with each category having n question/answer pairs. I would like to pass parameters in the querystring based on what the product/category the user selected, then populate a datagrid with the correct set of question/answer I am pretty new to XML, but basically I made something like this: <products> <product> <name>prod1</name> <partNum>prod1</partNum> <categories> <category> <name>basic category</name> <faqs> <faq> <question>This is a sample question</question> <answer>this is the answer</answer> </faq> </faqs> </category> </categories> </product> <product> <name>prod2</name> <partNum>prod2</partNum> <categories> <category> <name>basic something or something category</name> <faqs> <faq> <question>This is another question</question> <answer>and this is another answer</answer> </faq> </faqs> </category> </categories> </product> </products> So, then I use a DataSet and the ReadXML() method, this result in 5 tables. I was hoping that it would somehow be nested for me, but the way it is right now I can't see an easy way to use it the way I want. the first table lists the products(good) the second table I can't really tell what is in there third tables has all the categories, so on and so on. What is confusing is... what is the point of structuring data hierarchically in XML file if you can't maintain it? I'm sure you can, but how? Is what I'm doing not common? Someone please shed a little light on this for me, I would appreciate it!! Thanks, Steve Tag: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed Tag: 73597

 - Help with DataTable update (BeginLoadData method) I have an ASP.NET/VB app that updates values in a DataTable over the course of about 3 different pages. On the way out of the first of these pages, I explicitly build the DataTable from values in a DataGrid, and set the PrimaryKey of the DataTable to be the first cell in the grid (which is a UserID value). I then store the DataTable in a session object, from which it is retrieved for subsequent pages. All this seems to be working fine. On the second page, I retrieve the DataTable from the session object, apply a filter to it, and display the filtered data in a DataGrid. In this grid, the user can change the data, specifically assigning an employee to a different supervisor. The Grid is populated with the current employee/supervisor assignment in the database, and then any necessary changes are made by the user. This, too, seems to be working fine. The problem I'm having is that on the update command of the Grid, which is where I'm updating the DataTable (the thought being that I would just do an "in-place" update of the DataTable and then rebind the grid). I am able to trap the new assignment values (which are set in a listbox within the grid) and can trap the employee ID value from the grid (which is my primary key), but whenever I call the LoadDataRow method, rather than updating the row based on the primary key, a new row insert is *attempted*. I say attempted because I get an error on the EndLoadData method, which I believe is due to not passing in values for all the columns. I was hoping to be able to just pass in the key value and the values of the columns that had changed, but apparently that is not sufficient. Which is the first question - when attempting a LoadDataRow call, do I need to pass in valid values for *all* of the columns in the datatable (except, of course, those for which there are default values, of which I have none in this instance). You'll see in my example code that I'm just passing in the first, eighth and ninth columns, which I suspect is the problem. However, the *real* question is why isn't the LoadDataRow method finding the pre-existence of the key value in the table? I've checked and the value returned by my code is exactly the same as the one in the table, length is the same, etc. I set the primary key when I first build the table on the previous page, but I thought perhaps that attribute somehow gets lots when I set the DataTable to a session object so, as you will see in the example, I explicitly set the primary key again on this page, which seems to work, but the code still inserts a new row (or attempts to). Here is the relevant code from the page in question: Dim DDL As DropDownList = CType(e.Item.Cells(2).Controls(1), DropDownList) Dim NewID As Integer = DDL.SelectedIndex Dim SupervisorID As String = DDL.Items(NewID).Value Dim SupervisorName As String = DDL.Items(NewID).Text Dim NewRow(9) As Object Dim Key As TextBox = e.Item.Cells(1).Controls(0) Dim RowID As String = Key.Text Dim dsTechnicianList As DataTable dsTechnicianList = CType(HttpContext.Current.Session("ILApplicators"), System.Data.DataTable) Dim dcFirst As DataColumn = dsTechnicianList.Columns(0) Dim dcPrimary(1) As DataColumn dcPrimary(0) = dcFirst dsTechnicianList.PrimaryKey = dcPrimary NewRow(0) = RowID NewRow(7) = SupervisorName NewRow(8) = SupervisorID Dim myRow As DataRow dsTechnicianList.BeginLoadData() myRow = dsTechnicianList.LoadDataRow(NewRow, True) dsTechnicianList.EndLoadData() Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi Gurus,
I am having problem opening an excel file from vb.net. My code looks like
this:

Dim EXL as Excel.Application
Dim wrkbook As Excel.Workbook

EXL = GetObject("", "Excel.Application")
EXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
wrkbook = EXL.Workbooks.Open("D:\Book1.xls")

It works fine on my Dev box. But when I move to my test server where I don't
have dotnet IDE. All I have is .NET framework 1.1 and Excel XP (same as
Dev).

It seems to work fine until it creates EXL object but it fails on "wrkbook
= EXL.Workbooks.Open("D:\Book1.xls").
The error i get is "QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed".

I have Microsoft Excel 10.0 library set as reference..

Has anyone encountered same problem? Please help..

Thanks..
