    - Using the FillSchema I have a question about the Fillschema method. According the documentation the schema is built base on the contents of the SelectCommand. I using stored procedure to load tables in the dataset. I also use the fillschema to load the schema into my datatable. I'm not sure if things are working as I think they should. How would I get a schema loaded if I'm not using the Select query in the selectcommand? I'm using stored procedures instead. I have sample code below: Sub CheckForAlertData(ByVal MinDevice As String) Dim AlertDBConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(AlertVar.AlertConnectionString) Dim AlertHist_ID As Integer Dim AlertVehiclServiceID As Integer Dim AlertOdometerID As Integer Dim AlertReading As Integer Dim ServiceID As Integer Dim AlertThreadConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(AlertVar.AlertConnectionString) 'Read Min_GPS_History to get Min Device detail Dim AlertThreadDataCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SelectMinGPSHistoryByMin", AlertThreadConnection) AlertThreadDataCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim AlertThreadParm As SqlParameter = AlertThreadDataCMD.Parameters.Add("@MinDevice", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10) AlertThreadParm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input AlertThreadParm.Value = MinDevice AlertThreadDataCMD.Parameters.Add(AlertThreadParm) Dim AlertDA As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(AlertThreadDataCMD) AlertThreadConnection.Open() AlertDA.FillSchema(AlertDS, SchemaType.Source, "MinGPSHistory") AlertDA.Fill(AlertDS, "MinGSPHistory") AlertDBConnection.Close() End Sub Thanks Tag: excel question Tag: 90126

    - .NET and SQL Server on Separate Machines Hi all, We're working on an ASP.Net Web Application that makes several calls to a SQL Server database. Everything was running correctly when the database and the web server were on the same computer, but we have sinced moved them to separate computers; IIS V6 on Win2000 and SQL Server 8(SP3) on Win Serv 2003 Ent. The connection string in our web.config file originally looked like this: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=true;database=Store;" /> After moving the database (and changing the server in the connection string), we started to receive this error: "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection." We ended up changing the connection string to look like this: <add key="ConnectionString" value="Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Store;Data Source=192.168.0.12;" /> This string only works if we add the following to the .config file: <authentication mode="Windows" /> <identity impersonate="true" /> Unfortunately, the web application was designed to use forms authentication, so we're still looking for a valid connection string. We've tried setting Trusted_Connection=false and providing a username and password, but we get the same error as before - only with the provided username listed instead of (null). We've tried setting the database to mixed mode, and Win Auth only and got the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Jason DeCock Elk River Systems, Inc. http://www.elkriversystems.com Tag: excel question Tag: 90118

    - Viewstate works on test server but not production server Please help! I am tearing out my eyes trying to figure this out. I have a test server IIS 5.0 and a production server IIS 6.0. The test server holds the viewstate of a 3 dropdowns with a problem. However, the production server only holds the viewstate of 2 of the dropdowns. Why would it work on one server and not the other? Why would it work for 2 of the controls but not all 3? THANK YOU IN ADVNACE FOR THE HELP. I am using ASP.NET with VB (no code behind). Here is a snippet of the code. DropList_OS is the problematic dropdown. <asp:DropDownList id="dropList_Dates" runat="server" dataTextFormatString="{0:d}" CssClass="Headings" AutoPostBack="True"> <asp:ListItem Value="{0}" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:DropDownList id="dropList_Regions" runat="server" CssClass="Headings" AutoPostBack="True"> <asp:ListItem Value="{0}" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:DropDownList id="dropList_OS" runat="server" CssClass="Headings" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:DropDownList> Tag: excel question Tag: 90094

Since I want to tie this to a DataGrid and add sorting to the datagrid, I do not want to configure the adapter with sorting.

    - Persistance UPDATE problem - revised Q for clarity I'd like to clear up a very long-standing problem I have had only because I have done a little more testing, but the problem is still there. On Page_Load event, the textfields on my page fills with the personal data stored in a SQL DB, as follows: Dim cn As SqlConnection Dim cmd As SqlCommand Dim rdr As SqlDataReader cn = New SqlConnection("xxx") cn.Open() cmd = New SqlCommand("SELECT SName FROM ClientDetails WHERE clientRef=100", cn) rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader() rdr.Read() 'fill the surname textbox txtSName.Text = rdr("ColSurName") cn.Close() e.g. pretend the value of the colSurNamel in the DB is 'Smith' Then on the form my clients can update their details by simply overwriting the text in the textboxes and hitting the UPDATE button. Assume I have now updated the textbox with 'Bloggs' and I've hit the UPDATE button (code as follows): Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim conCOMP As SqlConnection Dim cmdUPDATECOMP As SqlCommand conCOMP = New SqlConnection("xxxxxx") strCOMP = "UPDATE ClientDetails SET colSurName= '" & txtSName.Text & "' WHERE ClientRef = 100" cmdUPDATECOMP = New SqlCommand(strCOMP, conCOMP) Label4.Text = strCOMP conCOMP.Open() cmdUPDATECOMP.ExecuteNonQuery() conCOMP.Close() End Sub I've added a label here to view the value of the UPDATE command when it is passed BUT it gives the value already stored in the DB / or rather the value it already got in the Page_Load routine: the text in Label4 is: " UPDATE ClientDetails SET colSurName = 'Smith' WHERE ClientRef = 100 " I think it is obviously the text box variable: having got a value for when the Page_Load event occurs. But how can my clients change the text boxes to update their details and hit UPDATE?????? PLEASE PLEASE HELP. This seriously has been BUGGing me for a month. My Client is not happy :( Tag: excel question Tag: 90089

    - Autoincrementing Primary Keys with PostGres I am using an ODBC connection to a PostGres database, that has various tables that use SERIAL types to implement automatically incrementing primary keys. My problem is that I have a dataset containing tables that I have turned AutoIncrement on, and set the seed and step to -1. My update statement works a treat, and any new rows are added sequentially to the end of the table. However, I need a way of immediately returning a new rows primary key, in order to keep the dataset up to date. I know that in SQL Server you can use the @@IDENTITY feature, to immediately return the last used value. Is there something similar in PostGres? I have tried adding a 'SELECT CURRVAR('public.equipmenttype_equipmenttypeid_seq') just after my insert statement (which is the SQL that you use to find out the current sequence id in PostGres), but I am not sure of the ODBC syntax needed to get this information into a parameter (I assume I would need to use a ParameterDirection.ReturnValue). This problem has been vexing me for a few days now. Any ideas or a better way of handling autoincrementing keys would be gladly received. Tag: excel question Tag: 90076

    - DataTable column question Hi! It's easy to add Columns into DataSet DataTable for example like this way ... ds.Tables("MyTable").Columns.Add("MyColumn", GetType(Integer)) ... but how can I remove this column of the DataSet which was created earlier by code? Do I have to create whole new DataSet table again? I mean something like ds.Tables("MyTable").Columns.Remove("MyColumn") - ofcource it's not possible to do like this way :) I tried ... ds.Tables("MyTable").Columns("MyColumn").Dispose() ... but it doesn't seem to do what I want. -- Thanks in advance!

    - Persistent UPDATE Problem Hi there I have had an application where I have not been able to successully add an 'update details page' for my clients logged in to the website. I have posted a query on this before and the result was that the WHERE clause was probably wrong; without success....but I have added a test labels to test so now know a little more so hopefully you can help. Have ASP.NET / SQL Server 2000. The web app has a members area which is https. i'm using authenication ticket which stores the member ID ref as a state variable called 'MemberRef' So problem page.... When this UPDATE PERSONAL DETAILS page loads, it fills the textboxes on the page with a datareader according to who is logged in. One textbox example is as follows: txtFirstName.Text = rdr("colFName") Then of course I need a process so my members can update their personal details stored in the DB, so those text boxes allow updates and I've added a button which should update the DB Private Sub ButUpdatePractice_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 'Handles ButUpdatePractice.Click Dim strCOMP As String Dim conCOMP As SqlConnection Dim cmdUPDATECOMP As SqlCommand conCOMP = xxx cmdUPDATECOMP = New SqlCommand(strCOMP, conCOMP) strCOMP = "UPDATE ClientDetails SET colFName = @Fname WHERE MemberRef = @MemberRef" cmdUPDATE.Parameters.Add("@Fname", txtFirstName.Text) cmdUPDATE.Parameters.Add("@@MemberRef", MemberRef) conCOMP.Open() cmdUPDATECOMP.ExecuteNonQuery() conCOMP.close -now plrease ignore any misspellings above - done it for speed for this forum. Now this doesn't update the DB when pressing the update button. It re-freshes the page. I've added a label to the page which shows the strCOMP update string on the page to test ( label1.text = strCOMP ) and it contains the existing value from the DB. Please help.

    - Dataset constraint violoation with null foreign key value Hi, I'm loading a dataset from a cached viewstate version of the dataset created on a previous http request. When I read the call ReadXml on the typed dataset, I get: "Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints" I suspect this is due to a field in one of the tables which can be null, but if it is not null it is a foreign key to another dataset table. At present the field in this table is null (in the database). What attributes of the dataset table field, or the dataset constraint should I set to indicate null values don't violate the constraint?

    - Datagrid hide identical columns from a JOIN I do not normally use JOINS in my queries these days, but I have some instances where I am simply showing historical data in a grid, and it is thus much more convenient to JOIN everything I need in one stored procedure. Thus I might end up with data from 3, 4 or more tables -- some with identical names (the JOIN criteria). I know how to hide columns in a straightforward query, but how about in a JOIN query where you may have 2 or even 3 or more identical field names (IDs usually)? How do you hide, for example, the SalesID from the 2nd table or the from the 3rd table? For example, the following statement works for the first SalesID, but what about the other JOINED SalesID fields? (I've tried "SalesID1" and "Expr1", but no joy except SalesID1 seems to work on a simple query with 2 joined tables). ds.Tables("dtSalesPayments").Columns("SalesID").ColumnMapping = MappingType.Hidden Tag: excel question Tag: 90057

    - .NET SQL Client: Connection pooling issue Hi All Follow up to my last week' postings on connection pooling issue we experience. Thanks all for your replies but since I still don't have a solution ? I've decided to start a new thread. Here is a link to the original thread: http://tinyurl.com/yu68q We use SQL Client (SqlCommand, SqlConnection and SqlDataReader) in our 3-tiered ASP.NET app written in C#. The problem we are running into is that under heavy load the number of pooled connections increases approximately by the current pool size every time the garbage collector kicks in. This happens even when only about 60 connections exists in the pool with the max size of 100. The number of pooled connections does not grow until the GC engages and ? the most puzzling ? the new connection pool is being created at that very moment. I rely on .NET CLR Data performance counters which I suspect might not be reliable. But if they aren't ? what is? The documented MS Knowledge base issue with the counters http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314429 doesn't seem to apply here) I also follow all the good coding practices such as closing the connection and DataReader in the finally block. I do not have any destructors or Finalize implementations in the app as well. I have performance monitor screenshots for all interested. Any ideas? Thank you! Tag: excel question Tag: 90054

    - Making an app run on a local area network. I realize I have asked this question before and the answer is slowly becoming clearer but I do not yet quite have it in place. I have a VB.net application that I have written from a client machine of a local area network. The LAN has a dedicated file server. The solution is located in a shared directory of the LAN's file server The drive letter is F. The application is bound to a SQL Server 2000 database that also resides in a shared directory on the F drive of the file server. My application works on the machine I am using but then I have a full blow copy of VS 2003 installed on the machine. I would like to be able to run the application from other machines on the local area network. These other machines all have Windows XP Pro installed and the .net framework. What do I need to do in order for this to happen? If I understand correctly I do not have to even worry about creating a .MSI file; I can simply point the other machines to the .exe file that is created in the Bin directory of the application that, again, is located in a shared directory of the server. Is this right? What else do I need to do in order to make (allow) this application to run from other machines on the Local Area Network? Tag: excel question Tag: 90042

    - Query Analyzer speed vs. SqlCommand.ExecuteReader speed All, I have an SP that takes about 5 seconds to run before any caching performed by SQL server (I run DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to make sure in my tests). When I hook the SP into a SqlCommand object, the SP Cmd.ExecuteReader line takes about 5 seconds every time I reload the page. But if I run it through Query Analyzer it takes 5 seconds for the first run and every subsequent request is less than half a second. I assume this is behavior of Sql Server caching the tables/results. My question is why would Cmd.ExecuteReader take 5 seconds each time if Sql Server is indeed caching teh tables/results (as evidenced by the fast subsequent QA calls)? It is possible there is SET environment variable being called by SqlCommand, or a lack of variable in the connection string that causes the ExecuteReader to take so long each time?

    - Common DataSource gives unexpected behavior with comboboxes When I have 2 comboboxes whos datasource is the same datatable I get some unexpected (and unwanted) behavior. When I change the selection in either combobox, the other changes to match it. The behavior probably applies to other controls as well. I would guess binding is being overly helpful, but I need to know how to disable it. I've considered just making of copy of my datatable for one of the controls, but I doubt that is the proper solution. Tag: excel question Tag: 89991

    - Make data available to Excel, Access, ... Hi, sorry for the cross post, but don't know which of both groups would be the best one. I have implemented a .Net DataReader and DataAdapter for our custom data and it works fine so far. Now I want to make the data available to Excel, Access, ... One solution would be to develop a OLEDB Provider in C++ via ATL Templates. But I wonder if there is a simpler way!? Can I develop a OLEDB Provider in C#? Or is there a mapping between OLEDB and .Net Datasources? regards, Achim Tag: excel question Tag: 89987

    - is there a performance benefit when using Prepare() on command that Hi, I was just reading the book "ADO.NET in a Nutshell". In the chapter on the Command-Object (p. 36) it reads: "A parameterized command won't improve performance as compared to the original dynamic SQL statement. Unlike a stored procedure, a parameterized query isn't stored in the database and isn't precompiled. The difference is simply one of syntax." OK. Sounds plausible to me. But i recalled reading something different to that on MSDN. The article "Best Practices for Using ADO.NET" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnadonet/html/adonetbest.asp?frame=true#adonetbest_topic4) includes the following: "The Command.Prepare method can improve the performance of parameterized commands that are repeated at your data source. Prepare instructs the data source to optimize the specified command for multiple calls. To use Prepare effectively, you need to thoroughly understand how your data source responds to the Prepare call. For some data sources such as SQL Server 2000, commands are implicitly optimized and a call to Prepare is unnecessary. For other data sources such as SQL Server 7.0, Prepare can be effective." So, who is right? Or am I just getting something wrong and mixed up? Is the effect of the Prepare()-call specific to the data source? Does it only work with SPs or also with plain SQL-Text? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Lorenz Tag: excel question Tag: 89985

    - Inserting Nulls into a Dataset Hi I have a simple table which allows nulls. Using a Dataset I have added a new rows to the table specifying the values for the columns I have and leaving the others. When I come to run the update command via the dataadapter the insert stored procedure fails because the parameters corresponding to the null fields in the dataset and not supplied. How do I get round this? Regards Tag: excel question Tag: 89984

    - Insert SQL statements into a DB record using Command object? Hello, I'm porting a VB6 / ADO application to VB/ADO.net and I'm running into some ADO.Net problems. I have a system that allows users to write and test their own SQL statements, and then save them to the SQL Server in a table called AdHoc. (They are not allowed to use certain destructive statements such as DROP, DELETE) When they are happy with the results of the query, they save the SQL, and a short menu text into the database. They can then select and run the query they created by choosing it from a combo box (using the menu text). This was never a problem in ado classic, but when I use an ADO.net command object and call the .ExecuteNoneQuery method, it seems that the SQL statements I want to add or update in the database, are getting mixed up in the SQL Insert or Update statements that actually do the saving/updating of the database. So I guess my question is: how can I execute an SQL statement that has string fields, that contain SQL statements themselves. Anyone? ss. Tag: excel question Tag: 89972

    - reflexive relation in dataset Hi all, I've got the following problem: I need to describe a tree structure, the table in the dataset consists of the columns structID, parentStructID, description with structID as primary key. the parentStructID of a root treenode is DBNull. I define a reflexive 1:n relationship from treestructID to parentTreeStructID. loading the the database table into my dataset produces an error, because the DBNull-value of my root tree node violates my DataSet relation (but not the relation defined in my database, anyway). common solution is: setting the nested-property of the DataRelation in my DataSet to true. that works fine, so far so good. here's the heart of the problem: setting the nested property to true in VS2003 dataset desginer lets the code generator forget my relation. that means if I instanciate my dataset the relation collection remains empty. if I set the nested property to default or false the relation will be generated and I have access from code. accessing and setting the nested property of my DataRelation to true produces the result I need and everything works fine. so what's wrong? the designer's handling of relationships or my understanding of the designer? or do I miss to set a further property? tia, Thorsten Kallweit Tag: excel question Tag: 89970

Once you've save Excel as a web page it is in HTML format. The Excel driver cannot read this format.
