    - Problem with OracleClient and Dotnet Framework 1.1 Hi folks, after upgrading from VS2002 to VS2003 I have a big problem with my database connection. I have two Oracle databases, comunication via a database link and the Data Provider for Oracle. MDB references the first database BDB references the second database. The Databases are connected via a TCP/IP Network and are running on different servers. A call like "SELECT * FROM <TABLE>@BDB" on the first server results in the error ORA-02401 Remote Client did not start a transaction! The Exception occurs when I call the ExecuteReader() Method OracleReader reader = ((OracleCommand)command).ExecuteReader(); !!! This worked perfectly with the OracleClient addon for Framework 1.0 !!! When I use the old library of System.Data.OracleClient in my software it works properly, but this can not be the solution. My System: ************************** XP PROF SP1 VS2003 (Framework 1.1) Oracle 8.1.7 Server Standard Edition Any help is very welcome, because in the moment I have no more ideas. Thanx in advance Frank Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64535

    - GetXML doesn't show Computed Columns Anyone know if this is the way this is supposed to be working or any potential workarounds? I have a DateTime column 'DateExpires' which I am returning as a computed column via my SELECT statement. When I call GetXML() on the DataSet, it isn't returning the computed column. However, when I do a quickwatch on the DS, I see that the column is in the dataset. Also, I have a bound webform control which is getting populated with the value from this column in the dataset. strCmd = "SELECT ID, CAST((DATEPART(m, DateExpires)) as varchar(2))+ '/' + CAST((DATEPART(d, DateExpires)) as varchar(2))+ '/' + CAST((DATEPART(yy, DateExpires)) as varchar(4)) as DateExpires FROM Articles" sqlDA.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand(strCmd, sqlCN); sqlDA.Fill(objDS); objDS.GetXML() returns: <DSArticles xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Schema_Articles.xsd" /> <NewDataSet> <Articles> <ID>e75baa38-f084-472e-a14f-2517f00f3d67</ID> </Articles> </NewDataSet> XSD as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema id="Schema_Articles" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/Schema_Articles.xsd" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Schema_Articles.xsd" xmlns:mstns="http://tempuri.org/Schema_Articles.xsd" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata"> <xs:element name="Document"> <xs:complexType> <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="Articles"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="ID" msdata:DataType="System.Guid, mscorlib, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="DateExpires" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> <xs:unique name="DocumentKey1" msdata:PrimaryKey="true"> <xs:selector xpath=".//mstns:Articles" /> <xs:field xpath="mstns:ID" /> </xs:unique> </xs:element> </xs:schema> Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64522

    - Update Command / Data bound controls Problem Greetings All, I am currently working with VB .NET and having an issue with updating an ACCESS DB via ADO.NET.. Any help would be great. I am using the data object components. (oledbconn, dataAdapter, & Dataset).. The dataadapter fills the dataset just fine. The data is bound to several textboxes. My navigation controls work just fine as well. However whenever I make a change to a textbox field and hit update the changes are not made to the DB. Ive included a msgbox to say yeah or nah to changes. It always says false. I am using the generated UPDATE command. What am I doing wrong? Generic Code Snippett sub : LOADDB da.fill(ds,"Users") end sub sub UpdateDB messagebox.show(ds.haschanges) da.update(ds) end sub Thanks Rob Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64521

    - Speed/Complexity Concern of ADO.NET Hello everyone. I'm still new to .NET, but have experience with VB6, C++ and the Java language, so I think Im catching on fast. My question is, everything I have been reading seems to indicate that ADO.NET is a lot more complicated than ADO was, and in fact, requires more programming to do the same thing. Also, looking at the descriptions of the datareader and datatable objects, seems that the datatable objects would require more memory and resources that the previoous ADO recordsets. We are getting ready to do a complete application rewrite and I am attempting to determine the best methods for the program, where to use this and that, etc. Can anyone offer their opinions or experiences with regards to working with ADO.NET? Thanks. Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64498

    - DataTable.Select method problem (can't understand DateDiff) I've got a DataTable object which I want to filter using it's Select method, but it doesn't recognize the DateDiff function in the filter string (which is odd considering the DataTable was populated with a query containing the DateDiff function). Is there some way around this? Is there a different syntax for doing this in a datatable's Select method? - Don Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64496

    - Problem with NewRow of DataBindings. Hello, I need some help here, I will try to explain my situation in hope someone will can assist : 2 DataTables with Relations, 1 DataGrid on the form, 1 ListBox on the form. According the SelectedItem in the ListBox the data on DataGrid is changed (by using the Relations). The DataBindings is working perfectly ( DataGrid.DataBindings was set on the that Relation). The Problem : User add new item in the ListBox and then try to add new item to the DataGrid for the new item in the ListBox. The item will not appear in the DataGrid until I will change the item in the ListBox to other item and select again the new one. For Example : 1 DataTable for Shops, 1 DataTable for Customers, Relation between Shops.SHOP_ID to Customers.SHOP_ID. DataGrid.DataBinding set to that Releation, ListBox.DataSource set to DataTable of SHOPS. This way every click on the ListBox will display the Customers of that shop in the DataGrid Until here it's working perfect. The Problem occur when I'm trying to write this code : DataRow dr1 = dtShops.NewRow(); dtShops.Rows.Add(dr1); DataRow dr2 = dtCustomers.NewRow(); dtCustomers.Rows.Add(dr2); dr2["SHOP_ID"] = dr1["SHOP_ID"]; This code should display new item in the ListBox and new item in the DataGrid, but unfortunately the item in DataGrid can't display. If I want to it - I must change the item in the ListBox for other item and get back to the new shop I entered. Can it be bug in VS.NET ? 10x. Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64473

    - Analysis Services with ADO.NET (OleDB) + ADOMD with .net Hi! We've been experimenting a bit with Analysis Services and .net. We've gotten as far as getting a dataset filled with results from an MDX query using the OLEDB provider for msolap. But when we try to bind the dataset to a grid, only the first column (rows dimension) in the result is shown. The grid is set to build columns at runtime. How come? :P Secondly, we've been experimenting with ADOMD in .net. What we wanted was to return a CellSet from a webservice - The result was an error like "CellSet doesn't support serializing". Is this not possible at all? Or do we have to encapsulate it in another class that can serialize it? And if we make this work.. can we databind a cellset? Any hints appreciated :) Lars-Erik Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64464

    - Getting A List Of Installed Data Providers I want to get a list of the installed ADO.NET Data Providers on a machine. The only way I can see to do this is to look at each and every assembly in the GAC and use Reflection to see whether the classes contained within have the necessary signatures which identify them as data provider classes (i.e. they support the IDbConnection, IDbCommand etc. interfaces). This seems a bit unnecessary and a bit low tech. Does anyone know of a better way ? Is there some sort of RegisterDataProvider technique which data providers have to use to register themselves which I might make use of ?

    - DataSet Merge & Expression Fields Hi everyone, I've noticed something strange using expression fields with ds merge method in ado.net. First of all, I create the schema via code. I've added also an expression column in the Contracts Datatable: col = ds.Tables["Contracts"].Columns.Add("CompanyName"); col.Expression = "Parent(CustomersContracts).CompanyName"; I don't use a data adapter to fill the dataset in fact I need to call a web service method that returns a dataset. Once I get the dataset from the webservice, I merge the data retrieved in the Contracts Table. ds.Merge(RetrievedDataSet); If I try to read the expression field for the contracts retrieved they're all DBNull. This doesn't happen if I try to fill the dataset with a data adapter. Any idea? Do I need to call something before reading the expression column?

    - Help? Relational data... Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help? I have a need to display some data on my web page (the results of a search) for links. Here's the thing: Each link can belong to one or more category (yes, I have a many-to-many table). When the links are retrieved, I also want to retrieve the categories the link is found in. Let's say link A appears in categories X, Y, and Z, and a keyword search brings back link A - due to the way the query is structured (inner join), link A is retrieved three times due to it's presence in categories X, Y, and Z. The question is: How do I retrieve the categories (of which there may be 1 or more for each link) along with the link? Or can't I? I was thinking of multiple selects in a stored procedure (so they could be put into separate dataset tables), but that would need some correlation between the links found in the first query (i.e. the one that finds the links) and the second (the one that retrieves the categories for the links that have been found). Alternatively, I could just cache the category table, along with the LinkToCategory table and as I'm writing each entry to the page, look up the corresponding category then - if I'm using a DataRepeater, I think I can use the Item_Created event... However, I don't really want to do that, I'd rather do it at the database level. Any thoughts? Kind regards, Mike K. Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64386

DataRelation dr = ds.Relations.Add("MenuItemHierarchy", ds.Tables["MenuItems"].Columns["UID"], ds.Tables["MenuItems"].Columns["ParentID"]); The trouble is the ParentID was setup in the database to use int 0 where there should be Nulls to use this relationship. Is it possible to change the 0's to Null before I try and setup the relationship? That is without adjusting the database itself. Regards, Kim Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64375

    - BUG: Dataset Returned From A XML WebService Containing Error Data Caused Exeption To Be Thrown In A Window Form Application Hi, I'm working on a project which includes XML WebServices and Windows Form application. The Windows Form application will call the XML WebServices to retrieve data from database. The data will be returned as DataSet. Now, here's the problem. On .NET Framework 1.1, if any rows in the dataset returned contain errors (marked by calling the SetColumnError() method or setting the RowError property of the DataRow), I get the following error message in the Windows Form application, "There is an error in XML doument (x,xxxxxxx)" If I forced the Windows Form application to run on .NET Framework 1.0, everything works fine. Here's the partial code for the WebService project Code: <WebMethod()> _ Public Function RetrieveDataSet() As DataSet Dim ds As New DataSet Dim dt As New DataTable Dim row As DataRow Dim i As Integer dt.TableName = "TestTable" dt.Columns.Add("TestColumn1", GetType(String)) dt.Columns.Add("TestColumn2", GetType(Integer)) ds.DataSetName = "TestDataSet" ds.Tables.Add(dt) For i = 0 To 10 row = dt.NewRow row("TestColumn1") = "This is row " & i row("TestColumn2") = i dt.Rows.Add(row) ' The following code trigger the error after the DataSet ' is returned to the calling Window Form application row.SetColumnError("TestColumn1", "Error message here") Next Return ds End Function For the Windows Form application, you need to insert a datagrid control (assumed as datagrid1). It will look something like this, Code: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim ws As localhost.Service1 Dim ds As DataSet Try ws = New localhost.Service1 ds = ws.RetrieveDataSet Me.DataGrid1.SetDataBinding(ds.Tables(0), "") Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) Finally If (Not (ws Is Nothing)) Then ws.Dispose() End If End Try End Sub I really hope someone could help me out with this one. Thanks in advance. ps: Please, before anyone reply to state that I did not choose the appropriate groups when making this post a crossposts post, please know that I'm currently in blind on what is causing this error. Is it the WebService? or is it the ADO .Net? or is it Windows Form application? or is it VB .Net? Well, it has something to do with WebService as it only happens to the DataSet returned by WebService. It also has something to do with ADO .Net as I'm using DataSet. And it definitely has something to do with Windows Form application as if I force the Windows Form application project to run on .Net Framework 1.0, everything works fine.

    - Reading Excel files with Jet OLE DB Provider I have some ADO.NET code that uses the Jet OLE DB Provider to read Excel files. The reading of the files works okay. However, I get strange behavious when I have Excel running and run the program that reads the file that Excel currently has loaded. Excel will pop-up messages such as "File is now available for read-write." In other cases, if I use Excel to modify the file and save it, then run my program, I get the old data, not the most recent data. I think maybe I have to tell the OLE DB provider to open the file in read-only mode, but I don't know how to do that. Thanks. - Kevin Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64363

    - SqlDataReader C# Index (Item Property) I have a question about what the SqlDataReader index value returns exactly (in VB SqlDataReader.Item("Value")). According to the .Net SDK this property returns: Overloaded. Gets the value of a column in its native format. I translated this as this property returns the value as it's type, so an int type in my sql database would return as an int? If this is true then I'm guess that the following code *should* run with out error. Assume current is an sql feild of type int: if ((int) this.Reader["Current"] == 0) { table += "..."; } else { table += "..."; } Are my assumptions correct? Or am I about to run into some trouble.

    - Determine whether a query returns results or not (before running it) I'm writing a web-based "Query analyser" tool for our company intranet. It allows a user to type any SQL statement in a form, and execute it over the Web. The SQL can be a query that returns results (e.g: SELECT * FROM members) or it can be a T-SQL (e.g: UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT). What I want to know is, is there any way using either SQLCommand or DataSet or any of the other ADO.NET classes to determine what kind of query it is, BEFORE running it? Then, if it is a T-SQL, I can just use the ExecuteNonQuery method, and I can hide my datagrid that would contain the results. Or if it is a "SELECT" query, I can populate a DataSet and show the results in a grid. Do I have to manually parse out the SQL string to determine if it is SELECT query? Or is there a more elegant way ? Thanks! Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64330

Using dataAdapter1 to update Access table field and dataAdapter2 to display the value from the same Access data source. Problem is, although dataAdapter1 is updating the Access table (verified in Access), subsequent calls to the dataAdapter2 Fill method do not refresh from the Access source - the value coming out of the dataAdapter2 dataset is always the same value - the one initially read on application startup. According to the documentation the Fill method should refresh the dataset from the data source - but does it? Tag: formatting numbers & columns in datagrid Tag: 64323

I am still working away to get to grips with .NET web forms. Can anyone help
me with these conundrums?

How do I programmatically control the with of a datagrid itself and the
columns in it? At the moment my grid is wider than the columns, leaving a
spare bit to the right, and yet some of my columns are too narrow. Can I
even get them to adjust automatically, eg to the width of the widest cell
value?

Also, how do I get numeric data to display correctly? The data comes from a
sql query. I want it to display to 2 decimal places even if ".00", but at
the moment I can't get it to give me those extra zeros whatever I do.

I also had a problem figuring out how to right align the columns of figures.
I fiddled with the GUI and managed this, but more by accident than design
and I still don't know how I did it. In any event for future reference I
want to know how to do it programatically.

Has anyone any tips?

Set AutoGenerateColumns to False, and add columns in the html or using the
designer

You might be best off handling this in your SQL query

you might be better off doing this in the html. After you've set
AutoGenerateColumns to False and added some columns, you can set many
properties of every column. Play around with the intellisense to explore.
