I have this code that I hacked together from someone else's example. I kind of understand how it works. I just don't know if it will and i am not in a location right now to check. I was wondering if I did this correctly first, second how can it improve and should i do something different. Basically i just want to check the password in a database. I am passing the username and password to this function from another functioprivate bool authUser(string UserName, string Password){ string connectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DBConnectionString"]; SqlConnection DBConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString); bool result = false; DBConnection.open() SqlCommand checkCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT password FROM Users WHERE userName='" + Password + "', DBConnection) SqlDataReader checkDataReader = checkCommand.ExecuteReader();
if(checkDataReader.GetString(0) == Password) { result = true; } else { result = false; } checkDataReader.Close(); DBConnection.Close();

Hi Everyone, I am looking for some help, as i am pulling my hair out looking for information. I have been using asp for many years and am now starting to learn .net. so far so good.... I am now wanted to connect to a database, execute a simple select statement and then read/write the information out. I can't help but think in old asp code and i am having a hard time finding what i need to perfom this simple task. I have used the grid controls etc, and these are very good - however, i need to connect to a database in the code-behind file and perfom various functions in the background. If any of you could be so kind as to perhaps show me some demo code i would be grateful. I would like to do: A) Connect to a database (sql server 2000)B) Execute a simple SQL select statementC) Read the returned informationD) put this information into variables used elsewhereE) how do you check if no records are returned? such as the .EOF in asp? Many thanks Darren

Hello,I'm successfully using SqlDatSource to read data from SQL Server on a networked machine. Obviously I'd like to be able to update, edit or delete data, but the 'Advanced Sql Generation Options' in the SqlDatSource are greyed out.The result is that when I try and edit, update or delete I get this message Updating is not supported by data source 'SqlDataSourceDetails' unless UpdateCommand is specified. Which makes sense because the options havn't been specified.I'm thinking this is probably a server side permissions issue but I've been through everything I can see and am now basically stuck.Any help would be appreciated Many thanks
Hi all I've a page which shows data (25-30 entries) that are retrieved by an SqlDataSource. The query is very simple since i don't have to join any table.unfortunately sometimes I get the following error message. It's strange, since the page often works fine but the error occurs a couple of times per day.Who has an idea of how I could solve this problem?
I have created a typed-dataset AuthorsDataSet and created a table in with name Authors, manually by right-click > New > Table. I have kept the data-types, sizes and contstriants exactly same as the table in the database, though I have kept the Column names different. I am filling the AuthorsDataSet with the following code on Form_Loadif (!IsPostBack) { SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["pubsConnectionString"].ConnectionString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state, zip, contract FROM authors", conn); using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd)) { conn.Open(); da.Fill(ds.Authors); grdAuthors.DataSource = ds.Authors; grdAuthors.DataBind(); conn.Close(); } conn.Dispose(); cmd.Dispose(); } The connection string is as follows:<connectionStrings> <add name="pubsConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source = localhost; Initial Catalog = pubs; Integrated Security = SSPI"/> </connectionStrings> The following error occurs when I run the page System.Data.ConstraintException: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.

I have a database that contains news items. There's a column that contains the actual article. In that field, there are paragraphs with page breaks. The page breaks in the database are represented as squares (unrecognizable characters I guess). When I try to read in the data, it doesn't recognize the page breaks, and it comes out all in one large paragraph. Is there any way to get around this?
Hi, I have a data structure called 'Quote' which contains a number of different variables and controls ranging from text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons, i need to be able to read and write this from a database.
First I think a description of my overall project is needed:
Project Description I have been given a brief that basically says: i have to create a programmed solution in VB to solve a problem. This problem can be anything we like, and I personally have chosen to create a program that manages quotes for building Log Cabins (this is very contrived and far from anything someone would do in the real world).
My solution will allow a generic user to create a quote (using a form with controls such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons) , and then save this to file. These users may then wish to load/edit this quote at a later date, from another form.
Whilst completing this project, i'll only have up to about 5 records (quotes) within the system, so i dont need the ability to store hundreds of records. And each record will be relatively short, with only about 10-15 data items within the data structure.
Also the Admin (or business owner in this case) need to be able to view all saved quotes in a presentable format, and edit them if needs be, from within this same program.
This solution does not need to be absolutely perfect and 100% efficiently coded, or have all the bells and whistles a real-world program would have. This is for an A level computing project by the way.
So basically, i need to be able to read from the database (to populate a Data Grid (i imagine this is best way?)) and so Admin can access any quote and edit it (editing is not vital, but viewing/printing is. Maybe i should stop at just viewing any quote?). Also i need generic users to be able to fill in the Edit Quote form and then save this data into the database.
And is a data structure really required for me to use a database?
I've never used databases in VB before (but have used them elsewhere, mainly Access) and so am completely new to this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi, i'm writing a SOCKET Port Listener for a Database, it must be multi-threaded and listen on a port for a record that when it comes in, it must write the record to the SQL database (MS SQL Server). I've got the listener to read the data over the port already and write the record into a string which i have already sliced up. Now i need to create a connection to the database and insert the variables into the database.
If Someone will please be able to give me a rough idea of how i could accomplish this with some sample code, then i will be greatful, i'm new to C#, but here is my code that i have so far.
//This is the Connection that i have made and where i am currently stuck, i dunno how to go further. Any help will be welcome.
public class ConnectionToMSDatabase { public void InsertDataIntoDatabase(string TableName, string connectionString, string dataFields) { string InsertSQLStatement; InsertSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO " + TableName + " VALUES (" + dataFields + ")";
Hi everyone I have a directory that contains a lot of text files that have data I need to draw from. I want to know if it is possible to write a program that will read all of the text files in the directory and pull out data and save it to a new textfile. For example: Each text file is formatted this wayColumn1, Column2, Column3"1","xxxx","yyyy""2", "xxxx", "yyyy""3", "XXXX", "yyyy" I want to put all lines that begin with 1 in one text file, all the lines that begin with two in another text file, and the same with all lines that begin with 3. my problem is I want to be able to point at the folder that contains those files and have it read every text file in the folder and perform the operation. If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction on how to get started.Thank you for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi guys, Can anyone advise me how how to read an excel doc i have stored locally? I need to be able to start the read from say row number 6 and finish the read once i get to a row that contains a pre-determined word signifying the end of processing. I intend to store the parsed data in an array that will be used as the data source for a gridview or repeater object on another asp page. I'm using ASP.net 2.0 and C# by the way. thanks in advance for any help!!!
Dim objCon2 As New SqlConnection() objCon2.ConnectionString = "a standard connection string" objCon2.Open()
Dim objCommand As SqlCommand objCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, objCon2) Dim objReader As SqlDataReader objReader = objCommand.ExecuteReader()
Label1.Text = objReader("email")
strSQL is a select command which I've checked (using SQL Query analyzer) does return data. I know the connection string is valid (and I presume if it wasn't that it'd fail on objCon2.open, which it doesn't).
So why oh why do I get this error on the last line (and yes, there is an "email" field in the contents of the reader)
System.InvalidOperationException: Invalid attempt to read when no data is present.
Does anyone know how to read transaction log besides trace and profiler. The current situation is some one in our org. deleted an item and I'm trying to find out who and when.
I have some records that have been deleted. I need to find out who did it and to do that I need to read the logs. Are there any utilities that will allow me to read login 7.0? How about 6.5?
We are having continual problems with our transaction log filling up on one of our major applications. Does anyone know of a way or tool to read the transaction log? We want to determine what is causing this problem.
Is there a way, in SQL 7.0 to print out or view what's in the Transaction Log? In 6.5 you could view the table syslogs, but I don't see any documentation anywhere on how to do this in 7.0.
I received a SQL Server 6.5 database (.dat file) on a removeable drive. I'm currently running 7.0. Is there any way to read/import/link to this data without installing 6.5. And if I have to install 6.5 how do I get the system to see the database?
