Using ADO.NET Or regular queries on SQL Server, is there a good way of
determining if a Stored Proc will be returning a result set or if it is
a non-query that does all I/O through parameters?
Thanks.
Hello All,
I am working on constructing a software layer around some features of the RDL language that would allow me to programatically generate reports.
I am reading the RDL specification language, and I do not understand three things:
1) How the DataSet element is populated by the query or more precisely how do the <Field> elements capture all the rows inside the table that is being queries?
To my understanding I wilkl have to define several fields that correspond to all columns of interest in the query.
But that is only for one row (?!) How do the rest of the rows get populated? Does the server recursively create new rows based on my definitions until it matches row for row all the data in the table?
2) Once the elements are inside a DataSet how do make use of that data to render it in a table.
I understand how the DataSource, DataSet, and Table work individually, yet I do not understand how to establish a flow of data between DataSet and Table.
3) Do I even need to use a <Table> as an RDL element in order to organize the data in an excel table?
I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

Hi
I have a main report and sub report. The subreport has some fields like SYS, LOC, MSG etc.
But the report should display the values filtered basis on system. i.e. I must have a sub report
for SYS1 , SYS2 , SYS3 and so on. I can create a sub report for each system. But I want to create only subreport and
call them from the main report. How do I do this?
Thanks

Can anyone please direct me to an easy to understand Description, Article or Video tutorial that shows an example on how to programatically connect to an SQL database and retrieve data from a collumn using C# and VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION. Also, what namespace should be imported to do this? (From what I have gathered out of the help, it seem that System.Web.UI.WebControls is the one)
I am trying to create a "news letter" web page. I have a basic form and when I hit "send" then the code in the background should access the database with all the recipient info, and retrieve all the E-mail addresses, Names, etc. and include it in each e-mail.
( I don't know if it is just me, but the help included with VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION is extremely difficult to understand - from a beginner point of view).
Thanks!

Hi, I've written a SELECT statement that returns columns dependant on a bitwise parameter @Populate.SELECTCASE WHEN (1 & @Populate) = 1 THEN [Column1] ELSE Null END AS [Column1],CASE WHEN (2 & @Populate) = 2 THEN [Column2] ELSE Null END AS [Column2],CASE WHEN (4 & @Populate) = 4 THEN [Column3] ELSE Null END AS [Column3],CASE WHEN (8 & @Populate) = 8 THEN [Column4] ELSE Null END AS [Column4],etcIs this the most efficient way to acheive this since I am only seeing a small performance gain. It still returns all columns but depending on @Populate will leave some columns with Null values.Any help much appreciated, thanks.

In VS2003 I have a user defaults table that I would call in the OnLoad - No Postback section to get the user defaults and then used some of the fields from that recordset as Parameters for other recordsets that would also load in that same section and might even issue a different Sql statement based on the field. In VS2005 (VB.NET), I can no longer figure out how to accomplish this. I can use the SQLDatasource Control which seems much improved but I cannot even find the generated code which I would use as a quick way to create my own datasources in the OnLoad event. Where is this code now stored and how can I accomplish my objectives in VB.NET 2005 with the current framework or programatically create data sources as necessary as I did before?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a list box populated by a SqlDataSource with a basic statement of Select name where location = @location. Location is bound to a dropdownlist control. I want to have a checkbox for the Location dropdownlist and a checkbox for another dropdownlist (for the alphabet) that will select only those people with a last name of the letter selected. Changing the checkbox would change the sql statement.
OK so there are two questions here:
1. How can I write a sql statement that would select only people whos last name begins with a certain letter. Would it use some sort of convert function to a string with only 1 letter?
2. How can I programatically change the sqlDataSource's 'select' statement. I need to switch between sorting by location and sorting by alphabetical last name. All of my previous experience has had me configuring the datasource in the asp.net code.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi SQ Gurus,
Please help me with this issue that I am facing. I want to create a table programatically but want to pass its name as a variable. I would like to do something as follows:
CREATE PROCEDURE BS_Create
(@Name nvarchar(25))
AS
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[@Name](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[Prod_Name] [nvarchar] (75) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
The table name is passed in as a parameter. No matter what I pass as a parameter, the table name is '@Name', which is not what I want. Instead, if the variable contains the value 'Product', I would like to see a table with the name 'Product' to be created.
How can I solve this problem.
Any help is appreciated!

OK, so I'm working on a project that requires the dynamic generation of SQL statements. Now in Visual Studio .NET I'm sure many of you have used that wonderful visual database tool that allows you to magically "verify sql syntax" at the click of a button. It takes a query that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.EMail, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductId, P.BuyerId FROM Affiliates A, Purchases P WHERE (ProductId > 0) ORDER BY 1"
and transforms it into something that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.Email, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductID, P.BuyerID
FROM Affiliates A CROSS JOIN Purchases P
WHERE (P.ProductID > 0)
ORDER BY A.AFFID"
My question is: is there anything in the .NET platform that would allow me to achieve the same kind of result programatically (i.e. transform standard sql to tsql syntax and verify the syntax of the query at run time)?
Any help would be appreciated! Cheers.

Hi ,
Could anybody point me to an NT/DOS script ( e.g a batch file ) that could check if the MSSQL Server and SQL Server Agent Services are running ?
I am trying to write the following script to check for the status. Each of the following commands gives a 1 as output if the service is running and 0 if it is not. The problem I am facing is that I am not able to check the output after the command is executed. I am neither able to assign it to a variable or include the whole command in an IF statement.
net start | find /c /i "MSSQLServer"
net start | find /c /i "SQLServerAgent"
Is there any other way to do this programmatically ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

What is the best way to programatically stop/start SQL Server? I want to stop it to do backups and then restart it.
I was hoping to do it within SQL Agent but it depends on SQLServer so you can't do a restart.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys,
I am trying to figure out a way to restore a database programatically. Here is how I do it now. Right click on the database, select Restore. Browse out to my computer and find the .BAK file. Select the database and go into 'Restore Options' I have to physically change the .MDF and .LOG paths since I am getting this backup is not coming from my computer. I select 'Overwrite the existing database' then click restore.
My problem is that I have to change the paths to the MDF and LOG files. How could I automate this? Thank you!!

Hi All,
I want to programatically deploy the report in VS2005 environment,ie.from an asp.net page if i click deploy report Button ,the report should be deployed into the report server automatically.So that i can view the report in report server.
the input to the asp page would be the.rdl file...
If anyone could help then it would be good.
thankyou.
Need to ask three questions regarding this component I am creating programatically:
1) How do you select "Modify the SQL statement" programatically.
2) How do you change the actual sql.
3) How do you add a parameter, also programatically.
I have manged to select "Enable memory restriction" by using
instance.SetComponentProperty("CacheType", 2);
but can't add a paramater and modify sql statement. Have used
instance.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", statement); and
instance.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommandParam", statement);
with no luck. Any ideas, have searched the web but found nothing.
Thanks.

I use Visual Studio and VB.
If I want to create an SQL data table on the server, I go to Server
Explorer and make a small table with the corerct columns. Then I add
rows programatically as needed from the Application I'm working with.
It would suit me, for a current job, to be able to create the table itself programatically.
I don't know how to do this. Can it be done ? If so, could someone give
me a starter, please ? Four cols with a key in the first.

Does anyone know how to check when a distribution job has finished
distributing a snapshot programatically?
I am writing an app that adds subscribers programatically. It first add the subscription (which creates a new snapshot) and after the snapshot is done, the distributor gets invoked automatically. Because I need to access the subscriber database after the publication is pushed I need to wait until
the distributor has finished its work.
Any help would be greatly apreciated! Thanks.

Hi
I've read the MSDN documentation about creating calculated members and states that we can only create session scope or query scope members.
