How can I populate options in a dropdown (combo?) box based on data pulled from a SQL database compared against certain paramaters (if it is not equal to x, equal to y, etc)?
Thanks.
I am trying to populate a dropdownlist from a sql data source in my codebehind using c#. I thought I had the code correct but I keep getting the following error and I am stuck: "Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement"
Here is the code:protected void populateOppNameList(){
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT empname FROM opportunity WHERE (username = " + userName + ")", conn);
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
try
{
conn.Open();DataSet ds = new DataSet();DropDownList ddl_OppNames = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("dropdownlist1");
ddl_OppNames.DataSource = ds;
ddl_OppNames.DataBind;}catch (Exception e)
{
}
finally
{if (conn != null) { conn.Close(); }
}
}
I have been attempting to populate a dropdown (combo) box from a SQL query (SQLConnector) in Web Matrix and I have so far been unsuccessful. I have been able to populate a DataGrid just fine from the query, so then I limited it down to one colum (so itd be in the dropdown box) and set all the properties I could find (DataSource, DataMember, DataTextField, DataValueField) (and in all possible combinations) for that dropdown box to the SQL stuff (SQLConnector for the DataSource and then used the dropdowns for the others), and nothing shows up in my dropdown box. How can I make this populate off of my SQL query properly?
Additionally I will need to do the same thing for a Checkbox List so if it is the same and you know how to do that and could let me know for that too that'd be great.
Thanks a million in advance!
Hi,I have table (tbl_a) that get it values form three Dropdown List and the PK of this table is FK in different table(tbl_b).Since tbl_a get its values from three Dropdown List the number of rows in this table is limited to the number of combinations the three Dropdown List is offer (in any case the number of raws in that table will be final).Assuming tbl_a and tbl_b are both empty.
The problem is that if i want to insert row to tbl_b i have to check first if there is a row that holds the values (or combination of values) i am getting from the Dropdown List in tbl_a .Then, if such row is exist i have to get the PK of that raw and insert it to tbl_b (as FK),if such row does not exist, i have to insert it and then get the PK of this row and insert it to tbl_b (as FK).
In the end, tbl_a will have all the combination the three Dropdown List can offer so checking if raw exist in this table will not be necessary.
In my opinion this is not effective way to do that.Can someone offer me better way to do it?
Thanks

Hi,
I am currently trying to develop an application which would help in retrieving data from cubes (Microsoft Analysis Services)! The user would not be accessing the Business Intelligence Studio, etc. but would be viewing the data from a custom made application developed in VB.Net2005.
While implementing this, I want to populate the drop-down-list in the VB(.Net) Form, by retrieving the various hierarchies in the dimensions of the cubes (along with dimensions if possible). This should be done dynamically and in real-time!
Can you please help in implementing this? Any code/method, etc would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes!

I apologize about the newbie-ness of these questions, but I am a total newbie (I have used VB for a while but this is my first 5 hours with ASP ever).
I just asked how to populate dropdowns, which I have found out how to do, but this question is quite a bit more difficult for me.
I have a SQL database, and in that database is a table, with a few columns. The first columnis a list of user id's, and the second is list of "options".
I want to make it on my webpage so that if the userid matches the column1 data, then it will display a checkbox for the column 2 option. Ie, if its "USERID1,OPTION1" in the SQL table, then if userID = "USERID1" then it will make an checkbox with caption/name "OPTION1". It has to loop through all the rows in the SQL table and make all the checkboxes for these options that match.
I have no idea how to do this, any help would be great.
I have the following 2 tables:
Table: classes Columns: classID, hp
Table: char_active Columns: name, classID, hp
The classes table is already populated.
What I want to do is insert a new row into char_active using the name and classID column, and have the HP column auto populate based on the corresponding value in the classes table. This is the trigger I wrote but I'm getting the error
Incorrect syntax near 'inserted'.
I'm new to sql, this is actually the first trigger I've tried writing.
create trigger new_hp on curr_chars.char_active
instead of insert
as
declare @hp tinyint
select @hp=lists.classes.hp from lists.classes where lists.classes.classID=inserted.classID
insert into curr_chars.char_active (name, classID, hp) inserted.name, inserted.classID, @hp
go
I have two parameters on report both will be populated in dropdownlist boxes.
How can i trigger parameter2 based on parameter1 selection.
but when i fill parameter2 i also need to pass the selected value of parameter1's data.
Please i have done this on aspx form using vb.net but don't know here how to do that. haave difficulty in making a search on google, confused to form right words to search.
Thank you all very much, fot the information.
I need to, ultimately, create a flatfile for exporting insurance information to a third-party vendor. Each individual is to have no more than 1 line per file, which contains their coverage information, if any, on 4 different type of insurance. What i need is for 2 fields in a table to determine the output for multiple fields in the flatfile.
What I have so far works, to an extent. If I have insurance types 1, 2, 4 (of types 1-4) required output is (__ = 2 blank spaces):
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
Y N __ MD XX Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
If they have coverage, A always = Y, B always = N, C always = blank(null), D is their ins. type, E is their cov. type(CASE statement). if they DON'T have that type of coverage, A always = N and the remaining field are NULL.
After a lot of work, and scouring a forum or 2, I attempted a whole lot of CASE functions. Below is an sample of code representing the 1x statements. This same code is repeated 4 times with the 1x being altered with 2x, 3x, 4x.
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N' END AS 1A,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'N'
ELSE ' ' END AS 1B,
' ' AS 1C,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN HB.BENEFIT_PLAN
ELSE ' ' END AS 1D,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN (CASE WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='1' THEN 'XX'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='2' THEN 'YY'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='3' THEN 'ZZ'
ELSE 'WW' END)
ELSE ' ' END AS 1E,
It works to an extent. While the desires/required output it above, the output this produces (same scenario) is:
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
N __ __ __ __ Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
While there is supposed to be 1 line, regardless of number of insurance types, it only produces 1 line per type. I first tried this in Access, and was able to get it to work, but it required multiple queries resulting in a crosstab, export to Excel and manually manipulate the data, export to text file to manipulate, import back into Excel to manipulate, import back into Access and finally export into a flatfile. Far too much work to produce a file which is why I'm trying to convert it to raw SQL.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
My basic goal is to try to simplify inputs for the user. I have 3 parameters: Begin Date, End DAte and Duration. Duration will contain 3 choices: All, 2 Years and Range and is meant to give them a shortcut to dates as described below:
All - Would automatically populate the start date to 10/01/2005 and an end date to current date
2 Years - Would automatically populate the start date to current date minus 2 years, and the end date to current date.
Range - Would allow the user to select any dates as desired.
I'm able to get the dates to populate based on the duration field using non-queried values based on the Duration value, but the problem is that if I want to allow them to select Range the calendar control is not available and a text box is displayed.
I've tried to create some code in the properties that would populate, but I keep getting that this item is Read Only. The code I've created is as follows:
public function populateDates(Duration) as String
Select Case Duration
Case = "Range"
Report.Parameters!pBeginDate = Report.Parameters!pBeginDate
Report.Parameters!pEndDAte = Report.Parameters!pEndDAte
Case = "All"
Report.Parameters!pBeginDate = #10/01/2005#
Report.Parameters!pEndDAte = Now().Today
case = "Two"
Report.Parameters!pBeginDate = DateAdd("yyyy", -2, Now().Today)
Report.Parameters!pEndDAte = Now().Today
end select
end sub
My only goal is to give the User the 3 choices, but still keep the calendar control available, and I can't seem to do this?
suggestion please!
Thanks!

I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
- First_Name
- Last_Name
- Email
- User_Field_2
- Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?
Hi,
I have a table1 which points to a dataset1
I was wondering how I use the 'data region' dropdown selection which is present when i click the properties of a cell in table1, it always appear to be blank.
I would like to know how this works as i feel it will be useful in specifying various data regions within a table, I cant seem to find any relevant information on it, can someone tell me how this works ?

I have a report with multiple datasets, the first of which pulls in data based on user entered parameters (sales date range and property use codes). Dataset1 pulls property id's and other sales data from a table (2014_COST) based on the user's parameters. I have set up another table (AUDITS) that I would like to use in dataset6. This table has 3 columns (Property ID's, Sales Price and Sales Date). I would like for dataset6 to pull the Property ID's that are NOT contained in the results from dataset1. In other words, I'd like the results of dataset6 to show me the property id's that are contained in the AUDITS table but which are not being pulled into dataset1. Both tables are in the same database.

Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value?
Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)...
I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school.
I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table).
I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school.
Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up...
The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'.
The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid.
...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter?
Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you
Dear Friends,
I want your help to know the best way to cache the data of a dropdownbox returned by a SQL Query.(SELECT FIELD FROM DBO.TABLE)
This data returned by database is used in more than one dropdown on multiple pages. I want to cache only the dropdown control, not the entire page. Which is the best way to do it? The data isn't refreshed often, probably once per month.
Could you tell me the best way?
THANKS

Here is what I have and (somewhat understand). I’m using Visual Web
Developer 2005 Express Edition and have setup my application to use form authentication
(which automatically creates the ASPNETDB.MDF file with several default tables
and views). I’m using the CreateUserWizard
which is fine…but I need to collect additional information like (firstname,
lastname, address…and on..). What I’ve
done. I’ve created a tabled named
UserProfile and set UserId as the primary key (uniqueidentifier).
I then setup a 1-to-1 relationship
between aspnet_Users and UserProfile (which I think is correct). On my UpdateContactInfo.aspx page (where
users go to update their personal information) I use a hidden label control
(UserValue) to receive the UserId during the page_load event as below:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load UserValue.Text = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey().ToString() End Sub Now with the UserID available I need to populate the
UserProfile table with the UserId, firstname, lastname, address of the
currently logged in user. How can I do this and am I on the
right track..?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
My ASP.Net app is multilingual and all my translations are stored in seperate MSDE tables, for example, tblEN for English, tblES for Spanish and tblTH for Thai.
When I send the installation files to my clients, I get them to double click on 4 MS DOS batch files that use OSQL to run 4 scripts.....
1. DataBase&Tables.sql - creates the database and tables
2. Logins&Users.sql
3. StoredProcedures.sql
4. Permissions.sql
This worked great before my language table came along to spoil the party and I now need some way of getting the data stored in the language on my server into the table on the client.
If I export the data to a text file and then send it out with the rest of the installation files - what are my options for transferring the data into the table ?
Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm trying to write a stored procedure that will parse XML attributes and populate columns within a DB with the stripped data. I'm a complete novice who prior to this week knew nothing about SQL commands, My understanding at least is that I need to perform a bulk insert.

I have a table which is already populated with data (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have now created a new column (int) which i want to populate with sequential numbers so that the new column created will serve let me know how many records exist in the table at a glance.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly created column with 1,2,,3,4,5 etc so that I can sort of number the records within the table.
I have 50000 records which I need to number and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.
I have 5 or more tables to join to get a particular output which has to be sent to a destination table. In the 5 tables some are inner joins and some are left outer join. I am opting for stored procedure at this point. But I would like to know how can this be done in data flow transformations having multiple souce and merge joins or any other alternates. I tried using merge join, but this does not accept more than two tables.
I saw this simple post which kick started me to use ssis transformations to stored procedures. But I encounter issue.

I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
