    - try/catch question In building a web or windows based application, I'm not sure how best to set up my structured error handling. And any suggestions or known practice tips will be greatly apprecited. :) Specifically, in my classes that are called by a form (Web/Windows), do I try to be specific about the errors that are trapped or be more generic. Do I then be more specific on the forms? For example: Class public class DoSomethingHere public sub ASubRoutine try -- implementaion code here --- catch ex as exception throw ex end try end sub end class Windows form pub class frmMain inherits system.windows.forms.form private sub DoASubRoutine dim x as nw aSubRoutine try x.ASubroutine catch ex as sqlexception -- implemention code for a sqlexception here -- catch ex as system.arithmaticexception -- implement code for arithmatic exception here --- catch ex as exception -- implement generic exception code here -- end try end sub end class Any tips, advice, or pointers would be greately appreciated.

    - Would like to learn asp.net, ado.net Hello. I am looking for some individual tutoring on ASP.Net and ADO.Net, in conjunction with reading/writing to an Access database. Ideally, I would like to get a "hello world" database up and running. I have learned a bit about each of these technologies through reading, although I am finding it rough going combining them to get a real-world project going. Is there anybody who'd be available for this sort of thing? I own Office 2000 and Visual Studio.Net Professional, as well as have a .Net web hosting account. I live in San Francisco, CA, and can pay (what I think is) a reasonable hourly fee. If anybody is interested, please email me at msofficeguyNOSPAM@yahoo.com. (remove the NOSPAM part) Thanks.

    - DropdownList SelectedIndexChanged event I am using the SelectIndexChanged event for a dropdownList control. Currently, the only way the SelectIndexChange event is fired is after a user changes the selection within the dropdownlist AND clicks a command button. Does anyone know how to get this event to fire (or some other event) right after the user changes the selection w/i the dropdownList control? Tag: Read This Tag: 62961

    - problem with displaying new row Hello, My problem must be very simple to solve, but I havennt found the answer yet, so any help is appreciated. I have a form with bound controls, mostly textboxes, to an access database. When I fill the dataset the datatable which is used in the binding correctly populates the controls on the form. All navigation buttons work perfectly. The edit and delete button do their work without a problem. After a delete the label which displays current and total records by counting the rows in the table is decreased by one as it should. My only problem is after I add a new row. The row is added, but I can not navigate to it. The counter adds 1 record, so I know the add was successfull, but when I want to go to the last record it just doesnt do it. It stops at record 14/15. I use the me.databidings(dt).position = dt.rows.count - 1 to jump to the last record, which normally works, bt doesnt after I added a record. Finally, when I stop the application and restart the record the new record is added to the database and I can use it like any other record. Any ideas why I cant navigate to the new record after I created it? Thanks in advance. Tag: Read This Tag: 62944

    - Weird Timeout Expired error Hello all, Here is current snapshot of our environment: ASP.NET (C#) .Net Framework 1.0 SP2 MDAC 2.71 (SP1) Windows 2000 (Build 2195 SP3) SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (SP3) We are using Microsoft SqlHelper from the Application Blocks and we currently have connection pooling = no Every now and then we get two types of errors: First Error: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: General network error. Check your network documentation." This error tends to go away if we refresh the browser. Second Error: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." What is interesting about this error is that the procedure being called takes 1 parameter (a state UID) and returns within 3 seconds. I was getting an exception immediately (no 3 second delay) if I passed a state returning couple of hundred records consisting of VARCHAR and INT values, but works fine if there are fewer or no return values. Once I executed that same procedure using Query Analyzer for the problem state, the application started to work fine. It is happening on various procedure calls every few hours. I have looked on Microsoft's newsgroups, google, and on MSDN but I cannot find anything that applied to us. Any input would be appreciated. Fadi Tag: Read This Tag: 62930

    - DefaultViewManager In MSDN library, it says that when data binding if you bind to a DataTable, in fact you bind to its DefaultView, and if you bind to a DataSet, in fact you bind to its DefaultViewManager. It is true for DataTable. If I use the following binding: dataGrid1.DataSource = dataSet1.Employee; dataGrid1.DataMember = null; Everytime I change the filter, the DataGrid changes, too. dataSet1.Employee.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Name < 'H'"; However, if I use the following binding: dataGrid1.DataSource = dataSet1; dataGrid1.DataMember = "Employee"; When I change the filter, the DataGrid is not responding. dataSet1.DefaultViewManager.DataViewSettings ["Employee"].RowFilter = "Name < 'H'"; I saw some programmers work around the problem by constructing a new DataViewManager. I wonder why Microsoft doesn't admit there is a bug, or say this behavior is by design. JT Tag: Read This Tag: 62921

    - Proposed method implementation in a new generic data access component I've mentioned in other posts that I am creating a generic ADO.NET project. Version 1 is already done actually (see my signature, and read synopsis in docs) I am making alot of additions in version 2. One being the addition of a bunch of classes that form a "Gen" provider... (GenConnection, GenDataAdapter, etc...). In the constructor of each data object I'm adding an additional parameter specifying the "DbContext". For example the standard IDbCommand constructor... public IDbCommand() //creates a standard Command, must set properties separately In my GenCommand as proposed... /// <summary> /// This constructor will use the connection of the /// DbContext if it has a ConnectionString assigned. /// </summary> /// <param name="ctx"></param> public GenCommand(DbContext ctx) { _ctx = ctx; _cmd = _ctx.DbTemplate.Command(); if (_ctx.ConnectionString.Length > 0) { _cmd.Connection = _ctx.Connection; } } Do you think it is a bad idea to imply the Connection from the context? I require the context to be able to dynamically load the appropriate underlying provider (Sql, OleDb, ODbc, etc...). But should I also use it to imply the connection. If the user desired they could overide it and specifiy a different connection. However, for those lazy people, the context gives enough info to specify the connection. It behaves different than all the other providers, which is why I'm wondering if it is a bad idea? Any advice? Which would you prefer as a user? -- Michael Lang, MCSD See my .NET open source projects http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbobjecter (code generator) http://sourceforge.net/projects/genadonet ("generic" ADO.NET) Tag: Read This Tag: 62830

I click on the field "Select the database on the server" and get the above mentioned error, followed by "Login failed, Catalog info can not be retrieved". In the past I have solved this problem by going into SQL Server and in the Server, Properties, Security tab changing the authenication to SQL Server and Windows. My notes indicate that in the past when I've had this problem it was because the authentication was not set to mixed. However this does not seem to fix the problem in this case.

    - Extending Typed "DataTables" I am facing the following problem in my applications and would like suggestions from you guys. My database schema has changed many times over the years and keeps chaging frequently according to specific client needs. My business layer (webservices) returns datasets to the thick client. The problem is that as the database changes so often, more than 800 datasets will have to be changed everytime. The solution suggested was as follows: a) Create 1 DataTable for each TABLE in the database. b) Create own DataSet for each visible screen or processing function by addind DataTables to this DataSet. c) Add Ref Contraints manually to this custom DataSet. This way, if the database changes, only one single DataTable class (schema) in the application will have to be changed. Now my problem is that i want to use Typed Datasets and Typed DataTables. What would be the best solution for this scenario. As mentioned on MSDN, DataTables can be instantiated independent of DataSets. In this case, the schema for the DataTable and the constraints are added manually in the code. But I could not find anything about extending Typed DataTables and using them independent of the DataSet. There is a powertoy by Shawn Wildermuth that helps you extend Typed DataSets, but i couldn't extrapolate his ideas to fit my requirements. Any ideas what the best thing for me would be ?

    - DataTable Events? I am getting started with DataTables and the DataGrid control. I want to find out when the user adds a row to a DataGrid, but I can't find a 'new row' or 'row added' method in either the DataGrid control or the DataTable class. I have bound a DataGrid to a stand-alone, in-memory DataTable. The user can edit the DataGrid cells and add new rows. When the user adds a new row, the calls all show "(null)", since they don't yet have values. I'd like to know when the user adds a new row, so I can plug in some default values, or do something to supress the "(null)" display in the cells. Is there an easy way to do that? Is an event fired when a user adds a new row? Thanks. -- Dave Veeneman davidv@nospam.com (actual domain is my last name) Tag: Read This Tag: 62748

    - Autoincrement Key values in Relationships ADO.NET and Autoincrement fields. Recently, while attempting to use .NET to build an interface for a new system, I came upon the issue of using Autoincrement fields as Key values. In and of themselves, they are not terribly troublesome, but when used as part of a Key defining a Parent-Child relationship, things get a little sticky. Per the MicrosoftPress book, ADO.NET by David Sceppa, handling Autoincrement values in Parent-Child relationships is no bother at all. In chapter 11 - Advanced Updating Scenarios : Section 'Working with Autoincrement Values and Relational Data', Sceppa states, (after fetching the new Autoincrement value for the Parent record from the database)"...how do you apply the new Autoincrement values to the pending new line items? Actually, you don't. You let ADO.NET do the work for you through the DataRelation.". That statement is only half right. ADO.NET will in fact update the values through the DataRelation, but in the process, it changes the RowState of the (child) records from 'Added' to 'Modified'. Since this property is read- only, this effectively prevents the child records from being INSERTed into the database (because the DataAdapter now believes these records are NOT NEW, but simply existing records that have been modified. Using this methodology, your detail data will never get stored to the Database. Ever. In his book, Sceppa also discourages the use of Autoincrement values in favor of the GUID. Since that value can be generated by either the client or server, it is much easier to handle since you do not need any special code to retrieve the values from the Database after the row has been added. Except for the fact that GUID values CAN BE DUPLICATED, and the fact that they are four times larger than an (SQL)Int, this would probably be a good suggestion. Even if the uniqueness could be guaranteed, who wants to use a 16-byte random 'string' as a key value for lookups and cross referencing between tables!?!? After fighting with this particular issue for several days (and nights), and repeated attempts to find something resembling an answer on Microsoft's many websites, I found something that actually works, and is not terribly difficult to achieve. I would like to say that the idea, if not the code, came from Microsoft. It didn't. Let's use the standard ORDERS and ORDERDETAILS tables to illustrate.... ORDERS : PrimaryKey = (ORDER_ID) --------------------------------- ORDER_ID : Autoincrement (-1, -1) CUSTOMER_ID : Int .... ORDERDETAILS : PrimaryKey = (ORDER_ID + LINEITEM_ID) ---------------------------------------------------- ORDER_ID : Int LINEITEM_ID : Int .... DataRelation -------------------------------- Parent : ORDERS("ORDER_ID") Child : ORDERDETAILS("ORDER_ID") Let's say that a single new order has been added to the DataSet and has been assigned an ORDER_ID of -1. the new records would look something like this... ORDERS.Rows(0)("ORDER_ID") = -1 ORDERS.Rows(0)("CUSTOMER_ID") = 7026 .... ORDERS.Rows(0).RowState = Added ORDERDETAILS.Rows(0)("ORDER_ID") = -1 ORDERDETAILS.Rows(0)("LINEITEM_ID") = 27 .... ORDERDETAILS.Rows(0).RowState = Added In order for the Database assigned Autoincrement value to propagate to the child table in the relationship, you need to use the Parent tables Select method, and NOT GetChanges since GetChanges will not cascade the values to the ORDERDETAILS DataTable. The call would look something like this.... nEffectedRows = sdaORDERS.Update(ds.ORDERS.Select ("ORDER_ID < 0")) ----->Insert statement is as follows.... "INSERT INTO dbo.ORDERS(CUSTOMER_ID) "_ "VALUES (@CUSTOMER_ID) ; "_ "SELECT ORDER_ID, CUSTOMER_ID FROM dbo.ORDERS "_ "WHERE (@ORDER_ID = @@IDENTITY)" This will add the new ORDER record to the Database and return the new database assigned ORDER_ID, which in turn is stored in the appropriate ORDERS datarow. If the DataRelation is set up correctly and in effect, the ORDER_ID values in the Child record(s) will also be updated with the correct ORDER ID. This makes our records look like this... ORDERS.Rows(0)("ORDER_ID") = 99 ORDERS.Rows(0)("CUSTOMER_ID") = 7026 ORDERS.Rows(0).RowState = Unchanged ORDERDETAILS.Rows(0)("ORDER_ID") = 99 ORDERDETAILS.Rows(0)("LINEITEM_ID") = 27 ORDERDETAILS.Rows(0).RowState = Modified ... This brings us to the problem with using this method. At this point, we have called the Update method for the ORDERS DataAdapter, but NOT for the ORDERDETAILS DataAdapter. If you look at the RowState for the ORDERDETAILS row you will see that it has been changed from 'Added' to 'Modified'. If you now try to send this row to the DataAdapters Update method, it will attempt to UPDATE it rather than INSERT it. Obviously this fails since the row does not exist in the Database. What makes this really fun to deal with is the fact that the RowState property is READONLY. Microsoft does not offer any solution to this. Sceppa is obviously unaware of this problem since he goes on to say, "Once the new rows in the order details DataTable contain the appropriate values for the OrderID column, you can successfully submit the pending new rows to your database". No biggie. It's not the first time Microsoft has left out a detail or two. Solution. It took me about 5 days to find a combination of tactics that actually worked. The sequence of events are the same as what is described above, but with a couple of extra steps tossed in. The solution itself isn't terribly difficult to code, infact it's rather simplistic. What made it difficult was trying to do it 'their way'. The brief run-down is as follows.... <data has already been added - we are about to update the database with our changes > //------------------------------------------------------ //------------------------------------------------------ Dim xx, yy As Int16 Dim tOrdersAry() As DataRow Dim tDetailsAry() As DataRow ' Get our array of (POINTERS to) the ADDED ROWS... tOrdersAry = _ ds.ORDERS.Select("", "ORDER_ID", Added) tDetailsAry = _ ds.ORDERDETAILS.Select("", "ORDER_ID", Added) ' Now, update the ORDERS Table with the NEW records... xx = sdaORDERS.Update(tOrdersAry) Dim tempTable As DataTable tempTable = <dsClassDef>.ORDERS.Clone ' The ORDER_ID field is an Autoincrement column. ' TURN IT OFF!!!!! tempTable.Columns("ORDER_ID").AutoIncrement = False ' Copy over all the data from the real (Details) DataTable ' (which includes the new, correct ORDER_ID value)... Dim tmpRow, tmpRow2 As DataRow For Each tmpRow In tDetailsAry tmpRow2 = tempTable.NewRow tmpRow2("ORDER_ID") = tmpRow("ORDER_ID") tmpRow2("CUSTOMER_ID") = tmpRow("CUSTOMER_ID") tempTable.Rows.Add(tmpRow2) Next ' Update the Database with the 'Added' records... yy = sdaOREDRDETAILS.Update(tempTable) //------------------------------------------------------ //------------------------------------------------------ One detail left to do at this point is call the AcceptChanges method for the -real- rows in the ORDERDETAILS DataTable. Since this is dependant upon your particular handling of the transaction, I do not include that code in this example, though I would suggest handling the INSERTS in a separate transaction and calling the AcceptChanges method for each added (detail) row rather than for the entire table after all updates, inserts, and deletes. In closing, I would just like to add that under normal circumstances I would not have bothered to comment on this problem. I have in this case because Microsoft has documented this situation to a fair degree of detail, but has done so incorrectly, ineffectively, and when consulting more than one source, in a conflicting manner. I paid good money to buy a MicrosoftPress book since they, by all rights, should be the absolute experts on the subject. I then added to my confusion by consulting the Microsoft website to clarify, only to find more wrong answers (though stated in a very matter-of-fact manner). I freely admit that I have never, and I mean never, really liked Microsoft. Mostly because of their business practices, but also because of the quantity of bugs and known problems within their software (which will be fixed in the next release for only $xxx.xx!!). When the company I work for decided to use .NET for a system re-write, I began investigating it, and to my own surprise, I was very pleased with what I found. For the first time in twelve years, I had something NICE to say about Microsoft. However, as with everything else from MS, once you get down to the details, the documentation ALWAYS works better than the actual software. Tag: Read This Tag: 62743

    - Problem with IConvertible and text column I'm trying to execute a stored procedure, which receives some parameters, to insert a row in a table. One of those parameters is defined with text data type, just as the column in the table. When I call that sp from my C# app, I get an exception of "Object must implement IConvertible". Although I call stored procedures daily, this is the first time I see this exception, and is the first time I use a text parameter in a sp. This is the C# code ... SqlParameter []parametros = new SqlParameter[4]; parametros[0] = new SqlParameter("@Id",SqlDbType.Int); parametros[1] = new SqlParameter("@Contenido",SqlDbType.Text); parametros[2] = new SqlParameter("@PalabrasClave",SqlDbType.VarChar,2048); parametros[3] = new SqlParameter("@Nombre",SqlDbType.VarChar,255); parametros[0].Value = objCanal.Id; parametros[1].Value = objCanal.Contenido; parametros[2].Value = objCanal.Palabras; parametros[3].Value = objCanal.Nombre; if (SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(ConnectionString,"InsertarCanalEstatico",parametros) == 0) throw new Exception("Fila no insertada"); ... and this is the sp ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.InsertarCanalEstatico ( @Id int, @Contenido text, @PalabrasClave varchar(2048), @NombreCanal varchar(255) ) AS declare @cant int select @cant = count(*) from contenido where Id = @Id if @cant = 1 update Contenido set Contenido = @Contenido, PalabrasClave = @PalabrasClave, NombreCanal = @NombreCanal where Id = @Id else insert into Contenido (Id,Contenido,PalabrasClave,NombreCanal) values (@Id,@Contenido,@PalabrasClave,@NombreCanal) Tag: Read This Tag: 62739

    - Flexible Data Provider Architecture Hello, I need advice on how to design flexible data handling for an app that meets the following general installation options: 1. data on local machine, single user, probably using Access or FoxPro 2. data on network, multi-user, client server, SQL Server or Oracle 3. data on web service using SQL Server and IIS The option chosen must be transparent to the client. Currently my design is based on separating the client app from the data provider. The client instantiates a class from a separate dll that handles communication between the client and the data - currently SQL Server. I figured that I would later expand data handling to other data sources through subclassing. While I haven't since ruled this out, I'm guessing that the web service version will throw a wrench into this approach. The question is how to provide elegant and transparent switching between data handling code for a flexible and growing list of data providers. I'm tempted to implement an intermediate "generic" wrapper class containing all the methods needed by the client. The wrapper class would then farm out the actual work to provider-specific classes based on the provider in use. Unfortunately, I have yet to work with web services, so anything I come up with at this point would be a guess. Any advice would be appreciated. Randy Tag: Read This Tag: 62715

I don't know why the error mentions open connections if I can open several query anaylzer windows using the same sql server credentials as the asp.net is using.

    - SQL Server connection string works with IIS 5.1 but not IIS 6 in ASP.NET Hello, I have a very simple aspx file that runs on WinXP Pro IIS 5.1 and connects to a SQL Server 2k DB running on a Win2003 Server box. It works fine with the connection string below (X replace real values for security). "packet size=4096;user id=XXX;pwd=XXX;data source='XX.XXX.XXX.X';persist security info=False;initial catalog=XXX" When I place this aspx file on the Win2003 Server under a Virtual Directory I get the following error. "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" I have replaced the IP address for the data source value in the original connection string with every imaginable option (local, localhost, <servername\sqlservername>, etc.) to no avail. I have added ASPNET, NETWORK SERVICES, & SYSTEM as logins to the SQL Server and the database I am trying to access. I have modified my <processModel section of the machine.config file to use the SYSTEM user name. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Thank you ahead of time for your suggestions.
