    - Integrate with database on webserver I've got a database on a remote webserver hosted by my ISP that collects data from a website. I only have FTP access to the webserver. What is the best way to get the data from this DB into an existing database inside my internal LAN? I suppose I could FTP a copy of the webserver DB, but I am wondering if there is a better way. Thanks in advance for any help. Dave Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85978

    - DataView.Sort loses ASC/DESC value I use a DataView object as the datasource for an ASP.NET DataGrid. I am seting the DataView.Sort member with a column name and a direction, eg: dvEmp.Sort = "emp_name DESC"; This works fine, but when I post back to the page and look at the dvEmp.Sort value, it only contains "emp_name", and appears to have discarded the " DESC" specifier. Despite this, the dataview is actually sorted correctly in descending order. What gives? John H. Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85971

    - DataSet and updating Ok. I have a table with a primary key being an integer. When using VS.NET 2002, it could not create an update command for my table. Being SQL savvy, I created my own update statement below Me.SqlCommand4.CommandText = "UPDATE dbo.links_page SET (title=@title, imageurl=@imageurl) WHERE (link_page_id = @link_page_id); SELECT title, link_page_id, imageurl FROM dbo.links_page It is bound to the SqlDataAdapter I created. When I add a new record, it is getting the proper auto-increment values, and when I execute .Update(myDataSet), the record is added to the database table But after that record is added, it gives me a constraint error. Apparently, it is having a problem with records that are already in the table. It looks like it is attempting to insert copies of them into the table (which violates my primary key. The exact error is Column 'link_page_id' is constrained to be unique. Value '2' is already present How do I fix this problem Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85963

    - size problem with ole object data type (blob) and ado.net Hi there, I've a strange problem with ado.net and an Access db. I need to create a little C# app that take the content of "ole object" field and then save it into a file. The problem is that when I do the following Byte[] byteBLOBData = new Byte[0]; byteBLOBData = (Byte[])(ds.Tables["tblRefAlbum"].Rows[0]["photo"]); I get the exact double of the original size! and if I save this array byte to a file I'll get my file with every two byte set to 00. The result is, of course, not an image. I've tryed to manipulate my array of byte to strip every two bytes but the result is an visible image but not the correct image (it's a scrambled image that appears). Please help, I really need to do this exportation of picture in .net with the access db. Thanks a lot for people whom can help me. Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85957

    - using DataSet to transport data as XML Hi, I have two exacts databases, but phisically distant and without direct connection. I want data be transported from one place to another. The process that i'm doing to achieve that is loading a DataSet from source database, writting schema to an XSD file, writting data to an XML file sending them by any mean (email as first attempt) and in the other point, receiving the XMLs, loading DataSet and update to a destination database. I have done almost everything , but i have troubles with the last part of the process. How i can say that the changes in the DataSet must be updated in the destination database? Will i have troubles with the relations of the tables ? Regards, José. Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85949

    - SQLException timeout I am using the .NET SQLData Provider for accessing data from an SQL Server 2000 SP3 Server I have an SQLDataAdapter that it is being provided an appropriate constructed SQLCommand object. The Command's object Timeout Property has been set to 0 i.e. "do not timeout". However, when I am using the SQLDataAdpter Fill method with a DataSet as parameter A and a TableName (string) as parameter B in some cases I get an SQLException with the error code -2 (i.e. timeout). This is not a reproducible behaviour. It usually happens in our customers sites. Just to help you, it cannot be a problem of locks and SQL Server's overload because we run the process that fills in the dataset when nobody else is connected to the SQL server thus it cannot be neither a concurrency problem (locks) nor sql server's overload because there only one user in the server logged in Could you please help me on this. In order to overcome the problem I put a loop of 30 retries to fill the dataset prior to letting the exception be thrown to the caller stack and even with this patch I still have cases that the fill fails to execute with a time-out error What can I do to solve the problem? Is there another property that I can set in the SQL ADO.NET Objects (I had also set the connection timeout to 0) HINTS 1. When the SQLException with the -2 error is thrown the Fill command did not wait a little bit (not even 60 secs). It looks like the error has been immediately sent from the server. 2. The query that I am using in the SQLCommand object is a liitle bit complex (it has aggregate functions, scalar columns and complex WHERE condition that uses xxx IN (SELECT YYY ...). Might be the case that the time out comes from the SQL Preprocessor 3. I put an index in a sensitive column and the exception vanished !! 4. However, this cannot be the solution. I want my queries to execute and my code wait until the execution completes without having to worry about query optimization which is something that will come in next phase of tunning Thank you in advance Stavros K Menegos Tag: formatting datagrid column?

    - can't find a downed server even when it comes back up. Pooling problem? I have a program that looks for remote SQL Servers and pulls information off of them every x minutes. It's possible that the DSL connection to one of the servers can be down for an extended period of time. If that happens, I have good exception handling and logging so that it doesn't try to pull data off of that server. I'm experiencing a problem when a server is down for some period of time, but then comes back up. The problem is that the application immediately fails after trying to open the connection, like it doesn't even try to open it. If I stop and restart my program (it's a .NET program running as a Windows service), then it detects that the server is back up and starts working. One other note - if I change a config file so that the server name is the IP address of the server, OR from IP address back to server name, then the program detects that the server is back up and starts pulling data again. (meaning - I change connection string to something else and the program detects the server is back up). Could this be some sort of connection pooling issue? I need my program to detect when the server comes back up and start pulling data without manual intervention. matt tag Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85883

    - Problems instantiating a DataSet from XML schema In a standard Windows project, I created a couple of xml schema and used the generate data set tool under the schema menu. I could then view the schema as data sets and they look right - so far so good. However, when I try to instantiate them by dragging a data set onto a form, as described in the help files, I have problems. The IDE correctly lists the xml schema under typed datasets, but when I hit OK I get told that VS can't instantiate the data sets. Underneath it says to build the solution, fix any errors and try again. I build - get no errors or warnings - but when I go through the process again I get the same error message. What am I missing?

    - DataSet.Merge - Expressions not recalculated - Known Bug? When merging a DataSet, if the the DataSet being merged into contains an expression column and the DataSet merging does not, then the expression column is not evaluated for new rows (they are DBNull). Of course, I strip the expression column before updating because of the other bug that causes DataAdapter Update to blow up if an Expression column is present, so this causes the aforementioned bug to occur. Is this a known bug? The workaround is to reset the column.Expression property after a merge. Cole Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85859

    - Double or float - make your mind up! I use floats in SQL server as they are its standard datatype for dealing with non-integral numbers I thus thought it would be logical to use the SqlDbType.Float for accessing parameters of this type in ADO.NET, from C# However, when I declare an SqlParameter with SqlDbType.Float as its datatype, its Value property after the command has executed can't be cast to a float, only a double. I'm OK with this if this is what the DB engine wants to do - but is it really correct?????? I know I could cast to a float but would there be much point if I'm only doing comparisons, not much maths.

    - Updating datagrid display using custom collection I'm having problems refreshing a DataGrid that a custom business object collection (PeopleCollection) is binded to. The PeopleCollection class maintains a collection of PersonInfo items. The PeopleCollection class inherits from CollectionBase and implements IBindingList. The PersonInfo class implements IEditableObject and IDataErrorInfo. What I have so far, is when a user double clicks a row on the DataGrid a 'Person Details' form is displayed showing the details of the person selected. The details of the person may be changed via textboxes on the form. This works well. Problem is if the user changes, say, the name of the person on the form and clicks the OK button the Person Details form is closed, but the new name is not displayed in the DataGrid (it still displays the old data). I know the new name is propagated to the PersonInfo object cause if I click on the row that was changed by the form the DataGrid decides to refresh itself, therefore displaying the new name. So, how do I update the DataGrid when the PersonInfo object is updated? I know the PersonInfo object should be notifying the PeopleCollection object, which should then raise the ListChanged event. The DataGrid updates nice and well on addition and removal of people from the the collection. Problem is only with modification of person objects. I've been working with a small sample program that you can download from microsoft's website. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet02252003.asp Hope you can understand my problem and help out.

    - very rookie VBScript ADO RDS Binding question Looking at what is posted here, I'm afraid this will be a real dumb thing to ask (I'm just getting into web programming after having worked in mainframe programming for a long time). I'm learning about ADO RDS Binding. My (simple) web page finally has been made to successfully retrieve a little data from my sample database (which has a "songs" table and a "users" table - joinable on a field called "username"). I'm now trying to persist the extracted recordset (eventually in XML and in a "stream") and to make a user fiendish (oops - I meant "friendly") "table" with sortable column headers and all that... To help me learn about the topic, I found a very interesting MSDN article that had a great looking VBScript at the bottom. The idea of the script is to present form input fields via the page and you can override defaulted connection info and have the script draw you a simple "table" from one of your database tables... Well - I can't get the VBScript to work... I get the form inputs to show up just fine but when I click the "run" button, nothing seems to really happen (and I sure don't get my MS Access info displayed in a "table" on the screen like is supposed to happen). So, my question is "can someone coach me as to how to get the script really to work?" I can share where to find version of the script if that would help. The MDSN article is at: (except for very minor tailoring like putting my column names in where they had different columns, my script is exactly like the one in the article)http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ado270/htm/mdobjaddataconx.asp Some of my connection info is as follows: ' CONNECTION STRING DataBasePath = Server.MapPath("..\db\fpdb\srtestdb.mdb") DatBaseDriver = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" DataBaseSource = DatBaseDriver & DataBasePath ' CONNECTION Set DBConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") DBConn.Open(DataBaseSource) ' Create an ADO recordset object Set rsSRDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") strSQL = "SELECT [songs].[songtitle], [songs].[songgenre], [songs].[songusername], [users].[username], [users].[emailaddr] FROM users LEFT JOIN songs ON [users].[username] =[songs].[songusername];" ' Open the recordset with the SQL query rsSRDB.Open strSQL, DBConn ********************************************************************** Sent via Fuzzy Software @ http://www.fuzzysoftware.com/ Comprehensive, categorised, searchable collection of links to ASP & ASP.NET resources...

    - Advice on filtering and using a Data View Using vb.net, I created a data view and would like to filter the view and determine if a record or group of records exists. My question..........is there a property I can check to determine if the view contains records meeting my criteria after filtering is performed? Also if the view does in fact contain records, is there a way to loop through view to get certain field values from it? Wil. Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85773

    - Web Services and SQL Server Stored Procedures I've written a very basic web service that is used by my PocketPC to add two numbers together. It works fine. So next I'm writing a WebService which accesses my SQL Server and returns rows appertaining to a specific OrderId. I have written a stored procedure called spGetConfirmedOrder to which I pass the OrderId and it works okay until I need to reference it in my code then it doesn't recognise it. Is there something that I'm missing out here do I need to get involde with SOAP and WDSL files or can I just use ADO.NET? Regards Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - batch query ?! I just watch an overview of ADO.NET 2 on MSDN TV. In that demo the SqlDataAdapter featured a batch mode where you cold submit update of many line with one query. (instead of the line by line update as now) I thought it was a great feature. Now in my own PocketPC database application (www.ihookdb.com :) I have my own "data access layer" and I thought it would be nice to use batch update too. (and because it's my code I could do it today :) And there a few question came to my mind (on about how to do that) 1. I was thinking, oh well man, it's simple, just queue the query with ';' in the middle. but there is a problem if I write UPDATE MyTable (field1, field2) VALUES (@field1_1, @field2_1) WHERE ID=@field3_1; UPDATE MyTable (field1, field2) VALUES (@field1_2, @field2_2) WHERE ID=@field3_2;..... N times (where N is my batch size) (notice I write @field_1 for 1st query, @field1_2 for the second, etc ...) but what if I use a batch size of 100 and they submit only 3 line changes ? should I create the query depending on the number of changes ? how to do that cleanly ? 2. but there is worst ! lest say I do an INSERT with an ID Identity column, I should have a SELECT @@IDENTITY after my insert. but what happened if I do many insert at a time ?!.... Any SQL Admin to rescue me ?!! Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85726

    - Common Database Interface I am trying to develop a program that would work with any database using ADO.NET. I am having a hard time because of the differences in SQL syntax between databases. One example is when I try to specify the column name, some databases require that I put the name between square brackets, others between quotes, etc. I had a similar problem with data/time fields, but I could solve it by using an algorithm with reflection and tags in the SQL sentences. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me if there is a standard syntax to specify column names that all the databases should accept. At this point I concluded that I will have to create settings in my program to enable the user to enter with this format, but something automatic (as I found for date) would be much better. My deadline for this project is next week, so I would appreciate if anyone could send me feedback as soon as possible. Regards, Lourenço. Tag: formatting datagrid column? Tag: 85703

    - DataSet problems - selecting on aggregate functions I have a dataset containing an already-populated single datatable which I which to perform an operation on. The structure of the table is below: Specifically, I want to get the most recent message for every unique {Group, User, Subject} subject to TimeStamp being less than an AsOfDate that is externally specified. I then want to bind this table to a DataGrid. I am having trouble since I am used to Access queries (new to the .NET arena), and do not know where to start. TableName: Messages Fields: Group (String) User (String) Subject (String) Message (String) TimeStamp (DateTime) Primary Key: {Group, User, Subject, TimeStamp} Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks for Bill's quick response!

Hi Kai,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to add a '$' before the unit
price value in DataGrid. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free
to let me know.

Bill has provided us with a good article. We can subclass DataGrid and then
can format the columns. Here I have another way. If your DataGrid is just
for read purpose, you can add a column to the DataTable and set the new
column's expression to '$' + UnitPrice. Then you can hide the UnitPrice
column by setting its ColumnMapping property to MappingType.Hidden. Now we
can only see the column with $ in the DataGrid.

HTH. If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.
