    - This has to be a BUG After spending a few hours experimenting the typed dataset serialization (see previous post "How to include public properties in a typed dataset in serialization"), this is what I found which does look like a bug (I'm using the normal serialization with XmlSerializer): . The values for the public property are in fact written into the Xml. They are presented as the attributes of the Element for the Dataset. They have the namespace of "msdata". . If the public property is of Int16, it will be ignored and not written into the Xml. . For the public properties which are written into the Xml, the deserialization does not recover them. This means that the instance returned from the deserialization doesn't have these property values set. So it seems to me that something is only half done here. If the behaviour is by design, then I don't understand why these public properties were written into the Xml in the first place. And why properties with certain data type are not written into the Xml at the same time. Michael Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection? Tag: 121378

    - Data->Generate Dataset|Preview Data I am writing an ADO.NET provider for a specialized (non-SQL) data store, and wanted to support the options in the Data menu, specifically "Generate Dataset" and "Preview Data". The documentation on these types of features is near to non-existant, including when you download the VSIP package (I thought that would help but it doesn't). I have the following three problems: 1. I cannot get my DataAdapter implementation to enable these menu options. 2. If I add another adapter, which does enable these options, the Generate Dataset option gives me a dialog box titled "Microsoft Development Environment" with the following text in it: "Retrieving the schema for MyDataAdapter1 failed. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." 3. Also, with another adapter to enable these options, if you select my adapter in the Preview Data dialog, and attempt to "Fill Dataset", you get the following error message in another "Microsoft Development Environment" dialog box: "The data adapter "MyDataAdapter1" is not completely configured. To resolve this problem, configure the adapter by using the Data Adapter Configuration Wizard or by setting the SelectCommand property of the adapter." My question is this. Is there any place that defines what these option expect, or what calls they make to a DataAdapter implementation? Any place where this is documented in a useful fashion. The documentation for all of this is really sparse!!! Help! ;) Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection? Tag: 121375

    - Error converting data type numeric to decimal? I am running a stored procedure and getting the error 'Error converting data type numeric to decimal'. I just can't work out why. My stored procedure values are defined like so: @addOn1 decimal(7,2), @addOn2 decimal(7,2), @addOn3 decimal(7,2), @addOn4 decimal(7,2), @addOn5 decimal(7,2), @addOn6 decimal(7,2), @addOn7 decimal(7,2), @addOn8 decimal(7,2) These map to the precision/scale values in my database. I am calling the stored procedure from dotnet like so: sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn1", objPremium.addOn1); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn2", objPremium.addOn2); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn3", objPremium.addOn3); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn4", objPremium.addOn4); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn5", objPremium.addOn5); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn6", objPremium.addOn6); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn7", objPremium.addOn7); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("addOn8", objPremium.addOn8); try { sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); blnReturnVal = true; } catch(Exception e) { Debug.Trace.WriteLine(e); blnReturnVal = false; } And getting the exception there. the objPremium.addOn1 - objPremium.addOn8 values are all decimals. I am instantiating them like so and not setting them to anything else (for debug purposes): public decimal addOn1 = -1; public decimal addOn2 = -1; public decimal addOn3 = -1; public decimal addOn4 = -1; public decimal addOn5 = -1; public decimal addOn6 = -1; public decimal addOn7 = -1; public decimal addOn8 = -1; I'm sure it's something obvious, but can anybody spot what I'm doing wrong?

    - Cannot add integer or long column to microsoft access table using ado.net Hi, I have a problem. I can't add integer or long columns to ms access table using ado.net. Could you just take a look at it. I think sql syntax is correct. The weird thing is that in another program it is working and it is the same code. If you comment out these two lines of code: "IDParent INTEGER, "+ "Position INTEGER, "+ then everything is ok, the table is created. The problem is I can't add LONG or INTEGER columns. I don't know what's going on, maybe it's some kind of a bug? Sample usage: Test.exe c:\\test.mdb using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.OleDb; namespace Test { public class Test { /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { Test t = new Test(); if (args.Length ==1) { t.Execute(args[0]); } } private string connectionString = ""; private OleDbConnection connection; private bool CreateTableWorkTopics() { string sqlText = "CREATE TABLE WorkTopics "+ "(IDWorkTopic COUNTER, "+ "IDParent INTEGER, "+ "Position INTEGER, "+ "Title CHAR(255), "+ "CONSTRAINT WorkTopics_PK PRIMARY KEY (IDWorkTopic))"; ExecuteNonQuery(sqlText); return true; } private void ExecuteNonQuery(string sqlText) { OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sqlText, connection); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } public void Execute(string path) { try { connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"+ "Data Source=\""+path+"\";"+ "User ID=Admin;"+ "Password="; // create mdb file if (!System.IO.File.Exists(path)) { ADOX.CatalogClass catalog = new ADOX.CatalogClass(); catalog.Create(connectionString); catalog = null; } connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString); connection.Open(); CreateTableWorkTopics(); connection.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); Console.ReadLine(); } } } } Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection?

    - Kevin Yu [MSFT]- How to include public properties in a typed dataset in serialization? The public properties are not related to the typed dataset but defined in the typed dataset class. Although the typed dataset class is marked <serializable()>, these public properties are ignored when the class is serialized. This does not seem to be right. Kevin's reply indicated that dataset serialization is based on the xsd, means that it ignors the public properties which are defined in the partial class. This appears to contradict the basic serialization rule from .NET - public property of a serializable class gets serialized. It does sound like a BUG. So what do i need to do in order to serialize these public properties? For Kevin Yu, please provide a code sample as your pointed direction is just too vague for me to follow.

    - Invalid Operation Exception when adding Collection to Binding Source Hello all, Firstly, this is a .NET 2.0 issue. (C#) I have a DataGridView and a dataset that has been generated by the wizard from a strongly typed collection. In my form_load I am attempting to add an instance of this collection to the BindingSource eg. gridBindingSource.Add(myStronglyTypedCollectionInstance); I am getting an Invalid Operation Exception (Objects added to a BindingSource's list must all be of the same type). The collection in question is a strongly typed collection of abstract objects. That is, I have an abstract class which is generalised by two sub classes. I have built a collection to hold the abstracts. Note this happens even though the collection is empty. Is this a limitation of the BindingSource? Any help greatly appreciated.

    - AddingNew BindingSource Hi All, Need help with the following: I have a DataGridView bound to an SQL Server table. I would like to use the ocrresponding Windows Forms BindingSource's AddingNew event to default a column to a specified value. For example, when the user clicks on an "Add New Customer" button or the "New" button on the BindingNavigator control, I'd like to use the AddingNew event of the BindingSource to default certain values like CustomerID, Quantity, etc... to a value that I assign programatically (value may come from another object or table). The problem is that I have read that I cannot use the AddingNew event of the BindingSource when the source is bound to a table. In the AddingNew event of the BindingSource, I am using typed Datasets and would like to create a new "Customer" row, modify some properties (ID, Quanity, AddingNewEventArgs. That's where the error occurs. Any help? Regards, Giovanni Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection? Tag: 121320

    - Disconnected DataSets and DataViews For scalability we wish to use disconnected DataSets and hold them in the application cache. This means that multiple concurrent users will be reading the data (its read only) The DataSet is fairly complicated and contains many tables and many relationships What we would like to do is create a DataView that flattens the in memory DataSet so that we can bind this single view to a control We need to hold the separate tables in memory because there are some tables that have parent child relationships where the parent has many thousands of children (and grand children) think Products and Orders and we want to hold Products and Orders in Memory, the reason is that each Product row is large enough not to warrant holding it multiple times OK, the problem is that a DataView can only have one table and the row filter can only be for that table, what we want to do is an equivalent of a sql select (with a join) but from disconnected a DataSet e.g. Select Product.ID, Product.Code, Product.Image, Order.FirstName, Order.Price from tbl_Product PRoduct join tbl_Order Order on Order.ProductID = Product.ID Any help would be appreciated Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection?

    - DbConnectionStringBuilder I'm working on a general use query tool and in that project I'm currently working on building connection strings for oledb providers after I enumerate the installed oledb providers on a system (side question: this is a tiresome registry read - if you know a better way please let me know) I'd like to present an interface for the user to enter the parameters for the driver. In the msdn docs there a bit that reads "For providers that support specific key/value pairs, the connection string builder provides strongly typed properties corresponding to the known pairs" What I'm hopeing that means is that there is some way to get the known parameters for a particular provider at runtime, but i'm not seeing it. In some fashion visual studio is able to determine the parameters for a given driver..... how does visual studio do that? For example i have a syabse driver that supports all kinds of parameters that most other oledb providers dont. How does visual studio able to detmine what the parameters for a particular provider are?

    - Connecting to an oracle 9.2 Database with Visual Studio 2003 Hi, I have an Oracle database with about 30 tables all relations in order, data is present in tables that require them. I'm writing a windows service using vb .NET that polls a set of directories for new input files (which are flat files in txt). So far so good. The data contained in those files get parsed into an import entity that can be of the type 'sample' or 'standard'. Yesterday i noticed that my design was done rather poorly and decided to form a Business layer and a DAL layer. I created my business objects (still not all business is already in it). And now I'm trying to access my databank. I tried accessing it using OLE DB for Oracle as well as the Oracle connection; The problem atm is the following. When dragging either OLE DB Connection or OracleConnection to my DAL component. When I try to create a DataAdapter I get an errormessage displaying ORA-00162. I haven't got a clue where this error is comming from. Yesterday I was trying to connect to OLE DB and then an exception was thrown (which I read on this forums had something to do with permissions and read&execute rights on my ORA_HOME directory) Many thanks in advance Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection?

    - ADO.NET 2.0 Automatically insert records into child table Hello ! I've info in 3 tables of SQL database: 1. Users (user_id, login, private_flag, ...) 2. Private (user_id, name, e_mail, ...) 3. Business (user_id, account_number, bank_name, ...) If Users.private_flag equals to 1 then attributes of user are in "Private" table, if it's 0 - in Business one. I created a Windows Form where the main table is Users. And both Private and Business tables are attached to it with a DataRelation-s. When "+" button is pressed in BindingNavigator for Users table I need to insert new record into Private or Business automatically when user selects a value for Users.private_flag. I tried to use various events of BindingSource, DataTable and etc. and insert new record to one of child tables but all was helpless. New record always not inserted. I also noticed that new record not appears in Users table until anotrher record of Users is selected with BindingNavigator. Does anybody know how to realize such a logic ? Or how to allow user to enter Private/Business data after pressing the "+" on Users ? Or where can I read more regarding this ? Thanks.

    - ADO.NET 2.0 Validation Hi all, Real issue for me here: I'd like to know where it would be best to put validation and which are the events best suited to deal with such record-related operations. There are many options, and I seem to be a bit lost. Many people like the Partial Dataset class as opposed to putting client-side/control-based validation, while others, its the opposite. Do TableAdapters fit into the picture anywhere in terms of validation? How about BindingSource? Should I use that to respond to "Adding New row", "Deleting", "Modifying", etc... or should I use the DataNavigator? All this is kind of confusing. Thus, the best place to put validation code and the best place to capture record navigation (with the possibility to add some logic). I'd like to use the ErrorProvider, etc...

    - Oracle Updates with DataAdapter failing Well, it appears that the designer generated bogus code. When I drag/dropped the table onto my form the SQL statements seemed to be generated reasonably well, but all of the Parameters.Add() calls included the colon character in front of the parameter name. I noticed explicit documentation that the colon was not to be used in this situation. I fixed this manually, but my DataAdapter.Update() call still updates 0 rows even though I have just modified a row in the DataTable. No error, just doesn't update anything. I'm going to write my own update statement and blow off these time saving designer tools, but I would be curious if anyone knows why this fails?? PS: I see no way to determine exactly what the resulting SQL statement is from the Data Adapter (hm, SQL Logging seems like a pretty nice feature to add to VS.NET there, MS folks!!!

I load these records into a dataset, create the relationships, and then bind the controls on the form to the dataset. The ZIP Codes are loaded into a combobox. All the controls load quickly. However, It takes forever to load the form, to move from record to record, or update a record. If I remove the binding from the "ZIP_CODES" table, the problem is gone. The form loads quickly, navigation is quick and deleting/updating is quick. This defeats the purpose, though, as the record is no longer bound. Is there a way that I can still have the ZIP codes databound to insure referential integrity as well as speed up the form/dataset?

    - Connect using SQL Authentication in a non trusted environment Hello all, I need to connect to a SQL 2000 from a .net app using SQL Authentication. My connection string looks like this: Dim conn As New SQLConnection conn.ConnectionString = "user id = validuser; password = validpassword; Trusted_Connection=False; Intial Catalog=pubs; Data Source = 10.24.4.126,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN" This connection string works when I use a internal IP to connect to a internal SQL server but not when I need to connect to the outside world. SQL Server is set for mixed mode. Any thoughts. Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection? Tag: 121204

    - How do I find this piece of xml in a dataset? Hey all, this may be a noob question but... I am loading an xml file into a dataset but there is a piece of data in it that I can not find in the dataset. In the xml there is an element that looks somthing like this. <somegroupofpeople> <persontype>Male <person> <fname>John</fname> <lname>Doe</lname> </person> <person> <fname>Joe</fname> <lname>Dirt</lname> </person> </persontype> <persontype>Female <person> <fname>Jane</fname> <lname>Doe</lname> </person> <person> <fname>Joe</fname> <lname>Dirt in drag</lname> </person> </persontype> </somegroupofpeople> <somegroupofpeople>... This is just an example. The real data has elements that differ. What I can't seem to find or navigate to is what would be values "Male" or "Female" in persontype. My first impression is that this kind of layout is kind of goofy in that the sex should be an element or attribute of <person>. However I am no xml guru and any tool that I run it through tells me that it is well formed so what do I know. If I needed to do something for persontype in each group of people dependent on its value, how do I find this piece of the xml in a dataset? I hope this makes sense. Thanks all.

    - Request Advice: Big Tables, Expr. Complex Error It was suggested to me the reason why I'm getting a "Expression is to Complex" error message in my local ADO.Net application is because the generated update query has too many AND's in the WHERE clause and the the MS Access Jet provider is limited for this many fields (columns) ( max is 100 fields for DA). The data source/set is a MS-Access Main table with 110 fields (columns). The table grew from a little table to a big table overnight because of spec changes. I know how to normilize the table in Access but not in ADO.Net environment plus, that seems like a lot of work since the application is almost done. What are my options to remove the Expression is to Complex error message ? Since I'm using MS-Access on the server, is it time to step-up to MS-SQL Server? Does SQL Serverl use the Jet provider? Do you think the complex error will go away with SQL Server? Comments? Steve Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection? Tag: 121197

    - SQL statement under the covers As we all know, ADO.Net allows you to use a command object to execute a query. We all also know that the command object also exposes a parameter collection that you can use if you are building a parameterized SQL statement. I am assuming that internally, ADO.Net takes the parameterized query and the parameter collection to build the query statement that is sent to the backend database engine (SQL server, Jet engine etc). So for example, assuming that I have a parameterized query and that I add a parameter to the command parameter collection as show below: SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerName = @CustName myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustName", "Pupu Caca"); I am assuming that ADO.Net will take the information entered above and produce an SQL statement that is sent to the database engine such as the one below: SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerName = 'Pupu Caca' If this is true, is there a way to get this (already parsed) SQL statement?

    - SqlDataReader and Text columns Hi all, I'm using the SqlDataReader to read result rows returned from a stored procedure. One of the columns is a text column containing values longer than 8000 characters. I cannot find a way to get SqlDataReader to read the entire value - it always cuts it off at 8000 characters. I've tried GetString, GetSQLString and GetChars but they all cut the value off. Does anyone know how to read text values using SqlDataReader?

    - Calling Oracle Stored Procs A ref cursor data type can obviously be returned as an output parameter of a stored procedure, but can an ASP.NET application call an oracle proc that uses a ref cursor as an input parameter? If so, how? What object do you pass as that parameter? We are using System.Data.OracleClient, but if necessary, we might be able to switch.

    - Error "Cast from type 'DataRowView' to type 'String' is not valid" I've seen this problem posted several times, but have not yet seen a solution. I make a connection to a SQL database and use a DataAdapter object to fill a DataSet object with several tables. A DataRelation object links the tables by an ID column. I bind the parent table to a combo box and a child table to a DataGrid control using a DataView object. I want the DataGrid control to reflect the selection in the combo box. For the combo box, DisplayMember is a text string while ValueMember is the ID field (integer). In brief: Private Sub Form1_Load(....) ' Connect to database, populate Tables in DataSet, ' setup DataViews, and define DataRelations. Call Populate() ComboBox1.DataSource = MyDataSet.Tables(0) ComboBox1.DisplayMember = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Columns(1).ColumnName ComboBox1.ValueMember = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Columns(0).ColumnName Me.BindingContext(MyDataSet.Tables(0)).Position = 0 Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "ID = " & ComboBox1.SelectedValue MyDataView.RowFilter = strFilter DataGrid1.DataSource = MyDataView End Sub Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedValueChanged(....) Dim strFilter As String If (ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1) Then strFilter = "ID = " & ComboBox1.SelectedValue MyDataView.RowFilter = strFilter End If End Sub Strangely, the code works if I comment out the ComboBox1_SelectedValueChanged sub. I can hard code in Form1_Load to select the first (index=0), or any other item in the combo box, and the DataGrid reflects the correct item. But of course I cannot select another item in the combo box and have the DataGrid reflect this. The error is raised in CombBox1_SelectedValueChanged on the statement: strFilter = "ID = " & ComboBox1.SelectedValue and the error is "Cast from type 'DataRowView' to type 'String' is not valid. I've tried to use ToString and CStr to no avail. I think the key is that I assign a DataSource to the combo box, plus the DisplayMember and ValueMember properites, then attempt to use the SelectedValue property when the user makes a selection. Any ideas? Note. My code is based on "Using a Data Set with Tables in a Parent-Child Relationship" from Chapter 10 (pg. 402-408) of "Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET" by Rick Dobson.

    - SqlDataSource UpdateParameters supplies wrong number of params to storedproc If I try and update an SqlDataSource inside a DetailsView control, using a stored procedure, I get this error - Procedure or function DataViews_UpdateDetails has too many arguments specified However, if I just simply remove the stored procedure call, and use "inline" sql instead, and leave the UpdateParameters totally unchanged, and the sql totally unchanged as well (just copy it from the stored proc to the html section), it works fine, and there are no errors.

    - Column names and typed dataset I came across one thing/problem regarding typed datasets in the case where the column name has two words or has a dash in between the words in the column name like: "E-mail" or "Expiry date" In the select statment I use [E-mail] and [Expiry date] which works fine, but the problem is that the OleDbCommandBuilder(adapter) does not build correct update statements and I get an error ("Syntax error in UPDATE statement") when trying to update a row with "E-mail" or "Expiry date" Other colums with a single word column name works just fine. Any hints would be very much appreciated. Thanks.. Please see code sample below (not complete with all details, just to get an idea): string SqlString = "SELECT CustomerID, Firstname, [E-mail], [Expiry date] FROM Customers"; // Create new dataset CustomerDataset customerDataset = new CustomerDataset(); // Get customers db.Execute(customerDataset, "Customers"); // Select row 1 (could be any other row) CustomerDataset.CustomerRow row = (CustomerDataset.CustomerRow) customerDataset.Customer.Rows[1]; // Change some fields row.Firstname = "ZZ Top"; row._E_mail = zztop@zz.com; // Then update data base with the changes connection.ConnectionString = ConnectionString; command.CommandText = SqlString; // Auto generate update statements OleDbCommandBuilder up = new OleDbCommandBuilder(adapter); // UPDATE FAILS WITH "Syntax error in UPDATE statement" adapter.Update(ds, tableName); NOTE: everything works just fine if the column names are one word like "Email", "Expirydate" etc. Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection?

    - Adding a row with null columns to a typed dataset in ADO.NET 2.0 Hi, In ADO.NET 2.0 if you have a table with foreign keys in it, when you add a row using the strongly typed add row method you pass references to the foreign rows rather than the foreign key value itself. If any of these foreign key row references are null, I get an exception. The only way I have found to work around this is to use the following for each column with a foreign key that can be null: TypedDataSet.SomeTableRow myNewRow = ds.SomeTable.NewSomeTableRow (); TypedDataSet.ForeignTableRow foreignRow = ds.ForeignTable.FindByID (id); // // repeat for each foreign key column that allows nulls... // if (null != foreignRow) { myNewRow.ForeignKeyID = foreignRow.ID; } else { myNewRow["ForeignKeyID"] = DBNull.Value; } ds.SomeTable.AddSomeTableRow (myNewRow); I must be missing something here - surely the generated code is smart enough to detect null values for foreign key references and insert a DBNull.Value in the appropriate foreign key columns (where null values are allowed of course). What am I missing here? Thanks, Todd Tag: is it possible to use ip:port instead of sid for oracleconnection? Tag: 121183

    - Avoiding escalation to MSDTC with multiple TableAdapter inserts I'm trying out the new TableAdapters in ADO.Net 2.0. I was a bit surprised to see control of transactions being somewhat taken away from me and placed into the System.Transactions namespace. I had a read and saw all the stuff about distributed transactions, which seems quite cool for managing access to multiple resources of different types. However, for plain old SQL Transactions, it seems like if you're not careful, you might end up paying a performance hit. So I wrote a small app that inserts rows in a few tables in one function. This all needs to be inside the one transaction. So I use the TransactionScope, and everything seemed sweet while I was only posting the first TableAdapter. Once I started posted the other two, I received exceptions complaining that the MSDTC was not running. After reading the generated code for the TableAdapters, it appears that what I have to do is ensure that the first adapter's connection is open before it posts (otherwise it will close it again), and that the other adapters all have their connections assigned to be the first adapter's connection. This seems to leave SQLServer 2005 happy enough to do it all on one transaction and not involve the MSDTC. Is this the "proper" way to get around your transaction getting promoted up to the MSDTC? Also, can I/should I close the SqlConnection I manually opened before/after completing the TransactionScope, or should I leave it?

    - Data Grid and table binding Hello newsgroup, i am not sure if i am asking at the right place. If not, please forgive me. I want to bind a table to a datagrid and make it editable. I know how to data bind and so, but I got trouble with the dataadapter. at runtime, the user selects a table from a list. with "Select * FROM table" I can show the content of the table in the grid. but how do I make it updatable? I would have to define a update command from the table. is there a way to generate such a command or is there an alternative? thanks for the help!

for example:

connectionstr="DATA SOURCE=192.168.1.11:1521;UID=bnd;PWD=bnd;" instead of
connectionstr="DATA SOURCE=sid;UID=bnd;PWD=bnd;"

new oracleconnection(connectionstr);

is it ok, and what is the format of data source?

Hi,

I haven't seen such a thing in use myself, because all the IP address + port
numbers are usually stored in the tnsname.ora file, IINM, so it would be the
right way to connect using the name, instead of the IP address.
