    - Columns in a Dataview I have a table that is composed of an ID and two foreign keys. This table is used to relate two other tables. I'm using a dataview to display the data. The data can be edited, including changed, deleted and added. How should I set up the dataview columns so the user sees the choices from the two tables, but the third table (with the foreign keys) is filled in with the ID's from the two tables? Example tables: tbOne [OneID, OneDataField] tbTwo [TwoID, TwoDataField] tbThree [ThreeID, OneID, TwoID] I want the user to see OneDataField and TwoDataField in the dataview. If the value of OneDataField is not present in tbOne, then it needs to be added to tbOne. If the value of TwoDataField is not present in tbTwo, then it needs to be added to tbTwo. Finally, the ID for OneDataField and TwoDataField needs to be inserted in a new row in tbThree. I'm pretty sure I can do this - I just don't know how. Thanks so much for your help.

    - Manipulate Data in a data set Sorry if this is a basic question but I was wondering how to test the dataset information as it is being read. ex, I have a table that contains file extentions such as .xls, .doc, .ppt. What I want to do is test the dataset as they are being written and if the dataset is equal to .xls i want it to be excel.. I am new to this and am able to connect to the table but I just can seem to get a handle on how to test the current dataset record and make any changes. any bump in the right direction would be helpful ... thanks in advance Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed?

    - "Thread was being stopped" while trying to connect to AS400 iSeries using .NET My codes blowing up with the "Thread was being stopped" exception when I try to create a data connection. Here's the line of (MS VC++ .NET 2003) code blowing out: SourceConn = new IBM::Data::DB2::iSeries::iDB2Connection(S"DataSource=ANTIGUA1;DefaultCollect ion=EMBTEST;UserID=PCS;Password=PCS;"); The Exception Source is IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries. Forum discussion shows this error turning up when a thread other than the main application thread attempts to update a UI control while running in the IDE. I'm not running in the IDE, but on a test workstation, using a Release compile. My application runs as a service, so there are no UI controls involved. Can anyone shed any light on this? thanks.

    - Strong Typed Dataset best practices I'm new to ADO.NET 2.0 so I have some questions you may be able to help me with. 1. I decided to take advantage of Strong Typed datasets. Everything worked but I did not really like the way I had to deal with the TableAdapters. So, I went ahead and did NOT use the TableAdapters provided by the wizards in VS2005. So, my code now looks something like this: SERVER CODE (class library): //My typed dataset is named CompanyDS CompanyDS dataset = new CompanyDS(); string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dataBaseConnection"].ConnectionString; using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) { // Create the command and set its properties. SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(); command.Connection = conn; command.CommandText = "sp_SelectCompany"; command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; // Add the input parameter and set its properties. SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter(); parameter.ParameterName = "@CompanyID"; parameter.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int; parameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input; parameter.Value = ID; command.Parameters.Add(parameter); //Create the data adapter and populate the dataset SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(); conn.Open(); adapter.SelectCommand = command; adapter.Fill(dataset,"Company"); conn.Close(); } CLIENT CODE: //My typed dataset is inside a class names "CompanyDAL" CompanyDAL company = new CompanyDAL(); CompanyDS ds = company.loadCompany(1); CompanyDS.CompanyDataTable dt = (CompanyDS.CompanyDataTable) ds.Tables[0]; MY QUESTION: a. Is this an acceptable (best practice) way of doing this or am I way off on this one? b. Why do I have to cast my datatable as "CompanyDS.CompanyDataTable"? I thought the type dataset would have typed tables of type CompanyDataTable being returned to me. 2. Has anyone used (or use) the Data Access Application Block from Microsoft Patterns and Practices? If so, is it really productive or is it a little too much for simpler jobs? I know those are subjective questions, I'm just trying to gather some input on how the community is using those things before I dive deep into one way or another of doing things in 2.0 Thanks, Fernando Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed?

    - Business Layer and Transactions in the Data Layer I have a BO that must call 2 functions each function residing in 2 different DO. BO->DO1.Update1 BO->DO2.Update2 Let's say that each DO call point to the same SQL Server. Let's say that each BO is on my Appserver and the 2 DOs on the SQL Server. I want to make a transaction so I am assuming that the BO is handling it. How do I create the transaction and the connections on the BO and DO's What about .NET Remoting in all this. If I create a SQLConnection in the BO and pass the SQLTransaction to the DO and try to enlist the connection(opened in the DO), the EnlistConnection takes only a transaction object but SqlTransaction cannot be converted to a Transactions.Transaction type .... BO.startTransaction DO1.Update1(tx as sqlTransaction) 'creates its own connection? receives it from BO? DO2.Update2(tx as sqlTransaction) BO.Commit or Rollback Unfortunately, there is not much information regarding the way to handle transactions between tiers, all the examples I find are transactions happenning in the same object.

    - Fastest way of accessing CSV files hi, I am handling CSV files as database. each CSV got 40,000 - 60,000 lines. I have to do the joining, subquery and other complex tasks here. the problem is, my query execution time too high, 2-3 mins. how can I reduce the time ?

Anyway CSV-file contains "field" containing date values like 20060825, and I'd like to convert it into datetime format when reading it into DataTable like #8/25/2006#. How to do this?

Dim dte As DateTime = Date.ParseExact(dr("MyDate").ToString(), "yyyyMMdd", Nothing) ...but I'd like to get rid of this way doing it already using sql-query when importing data into DataTable. -- Thanks in advance!

    - Change SelectCommand Runtime with Typed DataSet I have a DataTable setup and want to be able to change the columns at runtime so I limit the number of rows returned. I know you can have have multiple queries within a DataTable but they return empty columns which I don't want (or is there a way to stop empty rows being returned?). I guess this is due to the fact the queries under the main query inherit the data structure from the DataTable, is that correct? Is there any way this can be done?

    - Saving a dataset to a different database Hi there, I am fairly new to webservices and C#and currently have a problem with updating data to a remote sql database from data entered into a local MS access database. The dataset I am using comprises of several tables. Once the webservice has the dataset some operations are performed so that the data can be included in the SQL database i.e. if a company already exists on the SQL database then the company id on the dataset is updated, and so on. As a result I cannot (I think) use the dataAdapter to post any modified records or new additions to the SQL database. As an added complication we cannot gaurantee which fields will be in each of the tables (although the access and sql databases have the same structure), this depends on the particular client. Which means that hardcoding the insert and update into the webservice is not an option. So far I have had no problems in building and transferring the dataset, same goes for updating the details held in the dataset ready for updating/inserting to the SQL database. I have tried to manually set the state of a row so that I could use the dataAdapter, i.e. DR.RowState = DataRowState.Modified; But this appears to be a read only attribute of DataRow that cannot be altered manually. Any ideas? TIA Darren Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132206

    - Why ImportRow is causing NullReferenceException & Rows(0) <> NULL Hello, I am receiving a System.NullReferenceException error when the ImportRow is executed. However, as you can see there are rows in the table and I can see the data in Rows(0) in the dsetTempPlaceInfoFromPt.Tables("Places").Item.ItemArray of QuickWatch. Thus it is not null. The dSetPlaces (where I am trying to copy the row to) does not have any tables or rows; is that the problem? Does the ImportRow automatically create the table "Places" in the dataset dSetPlaces if it is not there? Maybe that's my problem. If dsetTempPlaceInfoFromPt.Tables("Places").Rows.Count = 1 Then dSetPlaces.Tables("Places").ImportRow(dsetTempPlaceInfoFromPt.Tables("Places").Rows(0)) I am using .NET 2.0 framework and there are values in the ItemArray of the Rows(0).

    - ORA-03113 exception thrown Background - VB.NET v1.1 SP-1. Query Oracle database using Microsoft .NET provider for Oracle (System.Data.OracleClient). Exception is thrown using both get data methods: 1.) OracleCommand.ExecuteReader() 2.) OracleDataAdapter.Fill() Problem - A certain query which happens to contain a Group By and Sum throws an ORA-03113 exception. We traced through alert.log and other logs within Oracle and determined an internal exception of ORA-07445 was thrown when query was executed in the database. I can take the same query and execute it from other query tools fine: sqlplus, plsqldeveloper and etc. I noticed a hotfix that addressed something similar to this, but reading through the documentation this hotfix was included in .NETv1.1 SP-1. I've confirmed that I have SP-1 by looking in registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v1.1.4322\1033\SP value is 1. My TestOracleQuery project runs fine for all other Select statements except ones similar to one described earlier. Any help with this ORA-03113 is greatly appreciated.

    - poor OracleClient performance? Hi all, in the process of migrating from 1.1 to 2.0 iÂ´m experiencing massive performance losses within the database access to a oracle database (same effect on 9 and 10) the following code is built in 1.1 and 2.0 (except the stopwatch of course). The 1.1 application is finished in less than the half time than the 2.0 app. (talking of 2.1 seconds instead of 4.4 seconds). table1 is a table of about 12000 rows and 35 columns, running well in a production environment. // test button handler: string result = ""; label1.Text = "test running... pls wait"; label1.Refresh(); Stopwatch w = new Stopwatch(); w.Start(); using (OracleConnection oc = new OracleConnection("Data Source=XXXXX.world;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=XXXXX;Password=XXXX;Unicode=True")) { oc.Open(); using (OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("SELECT * FROM table1", oc)) { using (OracleDataAdapter ada = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd)) { using (DataTable dt = new DataTable()) { ada.Fill(dt); } } } } w.Stop(); result += " r: "+w.ElapsedMilliseconds; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(result); label1.Text = result; The performance loss can be reproduced with other sql statements and different tables in different Oracle databases. ItÂ´s just the OracleClient assembly that makes the difference. Can anyone confirm this performance loss? --- thanks in advance a Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132179

I didn't need to indicate which driver, whether the connection was to SqlServer or something else, etc. It looked like: Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Open "MyNamedDSN" In C#.Net, I'm trying to figure out what connection string I provide when I do Conn = new OleDbConnection(ConnString); if I want to connect via an ODBC DSN instead of specifying the details in the ConnectionString itself. Can you help with this? Thanks. Alex Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132168

    - DeriveParameters throws NummReferenceException Hi, I am coding under .Net compact framework and using System.Data.SqlClient connect to MS SQL server through PDA USB cradle. I can execute stored procedures and sql select or updates statements. But I always get NullreferenceException when I try to use DeriveParameters function of SQLCommand to get parameters of my stored procedure? Any idea? I tried the same function under .Net framework, it works fine. I am using SQLHelper the function is DiscoverSpParameterSet(SqlConnection connection, string spName, bool includeReturnValueParameter) And I got exception on this line SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters(cmd); Anybody has experienced this before. Is it a bug for .NET CF(cannot use DeriveParameters function)? Do I have to explicit assign those parameters for my stored procedures (that would be a painful coding) thanks in advance -rockdale Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed?

    - 1:1 Relation I have created a DataSet out of an SQL Server DB. In the server, there are several 1:1 relations, in the graphical representation of the DataSet in Visual Studio, it seems as if there were just 1:n relations. Why? Is it a bug in VS 2005 or is it impossible for an autogenerated DataSet to understand those relations? Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132160

    - First connection to the database (Oracle) from a .Net console application takes 6 sec Dear All, I am using Oracle Client 8.1.7.0.0. My .Net (c#) console application makes a connection to Oracle database and has following code Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString()); OracleConnection NDPConnection = new OracleConnection("User ID=<Username>;Data Source=O801;Password=<Password>;"); NDPConnection.Open(); Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString()); NDPConnection.Close(); It is observed that the Open method takes almost 6 sec the first time it is executed. Next all instances of the application opens the connection very fast. Next time again when the code is executed after restarting the machine, opening the connection takes almost 6 sec. Is there something to improve this? Have I missed something? Please help. Thanks & regards Sunil Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132158

    - Avoid hardcoding DataKeyField property of DataGrid... Hi, How can I avoid hardcoding the name of the DataKeyField property of a DataGrid ? Like: datagrid.DataSource = someSource; datagrid.DataKeyField = "employeeId"; The above works but it's not what I want, because whenever the name of the field changes, I'm screwed. Avoiding this is the purpose of strongly-typed datasets (or using collections or whatever data layer abstraction mechanism you like) as I understand it, but I'd like to know what you n-tier gurus do in this case ?

    - Accessing Data Source of SSAS Project from within an SSAS Assembl Hi all, within an SQL Server Analysis Services project we are using an assembly to retrieve dimension permissions based on data stored in a adminstration database. Currently we store the connection string used to access in the administration database within the assembly: Dim locCon As New SqlConnection ... locCon.ConnectionString = "data source=eira; database=ServiceAdmin; Integrated Security=SSPI;" ... Obviously this is not a nice solution. As I understand it is not possible to access a application.config file from a DLL, because the DLL will use the config file belonging to the corresponding application. I wonder if it is not possible to access one of the data sources deployed with the cube from the assembly. somthing like: locCon.ConnectionString = "data source=cubedatasource" with cubedatasource beeing the name of the data source used in the cube Well, it doesn't seem to work that way.

    - DataTable Edit Rows I've searched and tried a few of the things I seen but nothing really helped me. I am in visual studio 2003 and using visual c++. I created a table by typing in the data inside the IDE. Inside the load event for the form I added rows to the table ataRow *myRow; myRow = dataTable1->NewRow(); myRow->Item[COL_COMPONENTS] = S"X-Axis"; myRow->Item[COL_UNITS] = S"Inches"; dataTable1->Rows->Add(myRow); myRow = dataTable1->NewRow(); myRow->Item[COL_COMPONENTS] = S"Y-Axis"; myRow->Item[COL_UNITS] = S"Inches"; dataTable1->Rows->Add(myRow); Now I want to edit a row. Change a column that was previously set to a null value. What I have so far is myRow = dataTable1->Rows->Item[rowNum]; myRow->BeginEdit(); myRow->Item[COL_CURRPOS] = tmp; myRow->EndEdit(); dataTable1->AcceptChanges(); Where rowNum = a known index number of the row I want to change, and COL_CURPOS is the column I want to make changes to. tmp is the variable holding the value I want to post to that column of said row. I have tried without the begin/end edit and without the acceptchanges... nothing seems to result in the column on my table being changed? Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed?

    - Why Must I Have "SET DATEFORMAT dmy" in Stored Proc? I'm calling a stored proc from C# and the call includes a datetime. The exe can run on machine A or B but the database is on machine C. When I run on machine A I need SET DATEFORMAT dmy in the proc or I get an 'out-of-range datetime value' message. I need to comment this statement out when the call is made from machine B. It seems as though I have a UK locale on machine A and a US locale on machine B and the swapping of days and months causes the error. Is this locale setting per machine possible? If so then how to change it? TIA, jeb. Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132116

    - dataset safety? Hi, I am currently looking at re-writing a payroll/timesheet application that is currently in Access. The users need to enter timesheet hours for numerous employees. Up till now I have been experimenting and using strongly typed datasets as generated by VS. However as these provide a disconnected model, how can I prevent the loss of user data if the user PC crashes or dies for whatever reason. I imagine it would be inefficient to be performing writes to the database using datasets after every record is inserted. I like the binding and coding efficiency of using strongly typed datasets, however it would seem like there can be big overheads and risk in not updating to the database regularly. Can anyone recommend a better way? thanks Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132107

    - Oracle 10g Float and Double Database Datatypes are not supported Greetings, I have data values that are inherently of type Double. Current we are using Oracle Column Datatype NUMBER. When I create a TableAdapter in VS2005, the database table column information is read from Oracle and a new Table is created. However, the detected datatypes are always Decimal. Even if I change the datatype in the Database to a lower precision that would not exceed the precision of a Double, it is always detected as a Decimal. This forces me to cast everywhere, making the strongly-typed dataset, not as useful. Option 1: Now you might wonder, why not just change the datatype after the table is created. This does in fact work, but if you alter the Select statement later, the table is regenerated and since the datatypes no longer match what was found in the database, new columns are added with a "1" appended to the column name, which wrecks everything. So, I have to delete all the columns first, then make my SQL change, then go back and change all the datatypes back to what I need them to be. This sucks. Option 2: Use the new Oracle 10g BINARY_DOUBLE column datatype. This would be the preferred solution, but Microsoft apparently does not support it. Even though this may be perfectly matched with the precision of a System.Double. Option 3: Microsoft should detect the Precision and Scale of the NUMBER datatype in Oracle and use the appropriate .NET datatype instead of always using Decimal. I believe this is done is other MS products via ODBC, but not here... Question: Is there ANY numeric datatype I can use in Oracle that will be detected by the the MS Oracle Data Provider as a System.Double in the Strongly-Typed representation? I fear this answer is no. If it is, Microsoft should provide a hotfix to allow Option 2 or Option 3 to work. Without one of these solutions, maintenance will be a big pain. Other developers on my team, should be able to go into the Query Builder, check off a new column for the Select statement, and this should just add the new column, but this doesn't work. It makes a mess, and can go almost unnoticed until you build and a list of cast exceptions appears... Hence the big pain. -Valkyrie-MT Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed?

    - Retrieving database schema Hi Everyone: Iâ??m new to the VB.NET development platform, and Iâ??m trying to understand how to retrieve database schema information from either of these databases: Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, or Oracle. I recently bought a reference book titled â??Beginning VB.NET Databasesâ?? by Thearon Willis from WROX press. From this book I have found a way to dynamically connect to any database and check to see if the connection was successful. What I would like to do is once the connection to the database is established, show a list of the tables contained in the selected database. If the user needs to add data to a specific table he would select the table he needs to add the data too and the application would create a datasheet with the columns (Fields) of the database shown in the order they where created in the table. I would also like to label the primary key of the table and any foreign keys that table references. Iâ??m having difficulty in finding examples of these types of operations. Can anyone show me where to go to find this information. Thank you, -- Mark Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed? Tag: 132088

    - Count rows in dataset WHERE ... Hi, I am attempting to do a number of count functions on a single table of data for presentation in an ASP webpage. The functions are number today, number this week, number this month etc. As the Database table is large it does not make sense to query it directly a number of times. My idea is to create a dataset containing the table "ApplicationForms". I then want to query this and perform the various count functions. If I were querying the database the query would be: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT fkiBatchNumber) AS 'YearCount' FROM tblApplicationForms WHERE (dtDateScanned < dtYear) dtToday is a datetime predefined in C# code. I have no idea how to query the dataset in an equivilent manner. Is this the most suitable method of acheiving my requirement? If so, any help in doing so is much appreciated. Thanks.

    - Oracle TransactionScope Rollback issue I am having problems re-openning closed Oracle connections (System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection) when using TransactionScope and using the Rollback feature (i.e. not calling Complete on TransactionScope). I create a simple for loop with a TransactionScope statement inside. All that happens inside the TransactionScope section is an open and close of an OracleConnection object, and no call to Complete on the TransactionScope object (Rollback). The second iteration or the loop will hang when calling Open on the OracleConnection object. If you include the Complete call on the TransactionScope, it will work fine. If you exclude TransactionScope, it will work fine. If you step through the code, it will work fine. If you put a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50) statement at the beginning of the loop, it will work fine. I thought it might be a disposing/garbage collection issue, so I tried putting GC.Collect at the start of the loop, but that didn't work. If I use Oracle's provider, it will work fine (Oracle.DataAccess.Client). If you leave the connection open when iterating through the loop, it appears to work fine. I have the 9.2.00.54 Oracle client installed. I have some sample code listed below. We would really like to use the System.Data.OracleClient as opposed to the Oracle.DataAccess.Client. So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Transactions; using System.Data.OracleClient; //using Oracle.DataAccess.Client; using System.Data; namespace ConsoleApplication2 { class Program { const string DATASOURCE = "Data Source=test_db;User Id=sam;Password=sam;"; static OracleConnection cn; static int i; static void Main(string[] args) { cn = new OracleConnection(DATASOURCE); for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { TransactionScopeTest(); //TransactionScopeCompleteTest(); //TransactionScopeTestWithSleep(); //ConnectionTest(); } Console.ReadLine(); } static void TransactionScopeTest() { using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope()) { OpenClose(); } } static void TransactionScopeCompleteTest() { using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope()) { OpenClose(); ts.Complete(); } } static void ConnectionTest() { OpenClose(); } static void TransactionScopeTestWithSleep() { using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope()) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50); OpenClose(); } } static void OpenClose() { if (cn.State != ConnectionState.Open) { Console.WriteLine("ConnectionState: " + cn.State.ToString() + "; openning " + i.ToString()); cn.Open(); Console.WriteLine("ConnectionState: " + cn.State.ToString() + "; openned " + i.ToString()); } if (cn.State != ConnectionState.Closed) { Console.WriteLine("ConnectionState is " + cn.State.ToString() + "; closing " + i.ToString()); cn.Close(); } Console.WriteLine("ConnectionState is " + cn.State.ToString() + " " + i.ToString()); } } } Tag: How to determinate if an SqlServer Instance existed?
