I'm trying to update my e-commerce approach from ADO-heavy code to a more modern approach based on the SqlData Source. I also want to move away from Stored Procedures for the moment, if I can, though I may return to them later (mainly for educational purposes at the moment).
In the past I used @@Identity in a stored procedure to return an ID# which I passed on to the end user as their "order number". Unfortunately this approach seems to only apply to SPs.
In short, what's the best way to handle this using SqlDataSource and minimal ADO code?
Just to add a bit more detail, I've got basically three tables, in a fairly obvious relationship. Orders stores the main order info (Customer's name and address, total, etc), OrderDetails lists the line items, and Products contains detail on the items.
(Put another way, the auto-generated tags in the SqlDataSource object either don't include the OrderID param because it's toggled for Identity in the database, or if I toggle Identity off then I don't know how to trigger it to toggle the next number in sequence. And either way I don't know how to feed that information back to the program.)
Is it possible to write the InsertCommand for a SqlDataSource to return the value of the AUTONumber of a field generated when a new record is added to a database table and display that value on label1.Text after the postback of ItemInsersted event? For example, <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NearMissConnectionString >" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [NearMiss] ([Branch], [Division] VALUES (@Branch, @Division); SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()" SelectCommand="SELECT [NearMissID], [Branch], [Division], FROM [NearMiss]" <InsertParameters> <asp parameter Name="Branch" Type="Int32" /> <asp parameter Name="Division" Type="String" /> </InsertParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
NearMissID would be the value of the autonumber generated by the SQL Server
I am trying to retrieve the value of the autonumber generated when a new record is inserted into a SQL 2000 Database using a SqlDataSource attached to a FormView. Is this possible? Can some give me a short example of how to retrieve that value and display it in a textbox? Thanks for any help with this. It seems like it would be a common issue for .net developers.
Hello all,I have a sqldatasource that inserts data to the database but I want to get the ID from an Identity field after I am done inserting the data. How can I best do that? I'm not using a stored procedure to do this. <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:onepduConnectionString %>" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [tblaccounts] ([fname],[lname], [address], [city], [state], [zip], ,[phone],[credits]) VALUES (@fName,@lname, @address, @city, @state, @zip, @email, @phone, @credits)> <InsertParameters> <asp:FormParameter Name="fname" FormField="FirstNameTextBox" Type="String" /> <asp:FormParameter Name="lname" FormField="LastNameTextBox" Type="String" /> <asp:FormParameter Name="address" FormField="AddressTextBox" Type="String" /> <asp:FormParameter FormField="cityTextBox" Name="city" Type="String" /> <asp:FormParameter FormField="stateTextBox" Name="state" Type="String" /> <asp:FormParameter FormField="zipTextBox" Name="zip" Type="String" /> <asp:FormParameter FormField="emailTextBox" Name="email" Type="string" /> <asp:FormParameter FormField="phoneTextBox" Name="phone" Type="string" /> <asp:Parameter Name="credits" DefaultValue=0 /> </InsertParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
is there a way that I can use the sqldatasource with a form view where my sqldatasource select statement is like this select * from tblUsers where vcUserName=@vcUserName <selectparameters> <asp:Parameter Name="user.identity.name" Type="String /> </selectParameters>
Is there no way to pass identity info back through SqlDataSource? You can only do that with ADO.NET code? In other words, if I want to run a complex INSERT statement to a table that uses Identity, I can't take that key value back through something like SCOPE_IDENTITY() and use it? I know how to do this with ADO code, but I can't figure out how to do it purely with SqlDataSource. I was hoping to do this without having to write a new Insert statement -- just using the one that's already in the SqlDataSource control. But there doesn't seem to be any facility for Identity in there. I tried embedding a separate select statement after the insert statement and a semi-colon, but that didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!
I apologise if i have not posted this in the correct Topic before i start. But was uncertain where to post this query. This is my first project in ASP.NET, MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have relatively little experience, so please bare with me. I have managed to create a form that inserts data into a table and then inserts the Automatically Created Primary Key(as a foreign key) in another table. I have done this by inserting what is highlighted in red in the code of my InsertCommand below (Please scroll across to the end of the code):-InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [PrinterModel] ([Model], [PrinterMakeID], [CartridgeCode], [PartCode], [Duplex], [NIC], [Wireless], [Parallel], [USB], [Colour], [PrinterTypeID]) VALUES (@Model, @PrinterMakeID, @CartridgeCode, @PartCode, @Duplex, @NIC, @Wireless, @Parallel, @USB, @Colour, @PrinterTypeID) INSERT INTO [Model] ([PrinterModelID],[TypeID]) VALUES (@@IDENTITY, 3)" Can you see any problems that may arise from using this method. This project is an Asset Management System and will be used by no more than a handful of users. My Concern is the use of the @@IDENTITY (As it only stores the last Key used). Should I be using it here? If there is more than one user inserting into tables (Chances of this happening are very low), will the correct Primary key be insert to the table in the above code?Thank you for your comments.
Ok, So I am trying to do 1 insert into a table and then insert more information into another table but I need to get the [TKTNUM] (the column with the idenity increment on it) value that was auto-generated when the insert was done. I have done a search and I am well aware that this are tons of posts on this subject already that is how I found out to use the SCOPE IDENTITY(). But nobody is using the insert syntax that I am using and since I am new, I don't understand any of it. I think they are using ADO.NET. I am extremely new to ASP.NET so take it easy on me ok guys... But can someone take a look at my code and tell me what the problem is. Again, I'm new so I am learning as I go so I might be missing something really stupid. Any help would be greatly appreciated. O yeah, I am running this code in a button click event NOT in a stored procedure (dont really know now to use those anyway).Here is my code:Protected Sub submitBtn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)Dim newTktNumIf Page.IsValid ThenDim it3Conn As SqlDataSource = New SqlDataSource()it3Conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1").ToStringit3Conn.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [IT_TICKET] ([REQUEST_DATE], [LOGGED_BY], [REQUESTED_BY], [TKTSTATUS],[NEEDED_DATE]) VALUES (@REQUEST_DATE, @LOGGED_BY, @REQUESTED_BY, @TKTSTATUS,@NEEDED_DATE); SELECT @newTktNum = SCOPE_IDENTITY()"it3Conn.InsertParameters.Add("REQUEST_DATE", DateTime.Now.ToString)it3Conn.InsertParameters.Add("LOGGED_BY", User.Identity.Name)it3Conn.InsertParameters.Add("REQUESTED_BY", User.Identity.Name)it3Conn.InsertParameters.Add("TKTSTATUS", "NEW")it3Conn.InsertParameters.Add("NEEDED_DATE", needByTB.Text.ToString)it3Conn.Insert()End IfMsgBox("Ticket Number: " & newTktNum & " has been created", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Ticket Created")End Sub
Hi,How do I get hold of the HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name from within an sqldatasource? I want to create a WHERE clause that says WHERE UserName = @UserName and the @UserName parameter be filled with the current user name. I would be able to do this in code, but I don't know how to get at this information from within a datasource. At a guess I tried to use the Cookie option from the drop down list, and use the name of the FormsAuthentication Cookie, but this didn't work. Is there a way I can do this? If so how? I don't want to resort to using a hidden field or anything like that if I can help it. Many thanks, Steve
What is the C# code I use to do this? I'm guessing it should be fairly simple, as there is only one row selected. I just need to pull out a specific field from that row and then insert that value into a different SqlDataSource.
While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?
I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,
barkingdog
P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?
Ok,I just need to know how to get the last record inserted by the highestIDENTITY number. Even if the computer was rebooted and it was twoweeks ago. (Does not have to do with the session).Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Trint
i am using visual web developer 2005 with SQL Express 2005 with VB as the code behindi have one database and three tables in itfor manipulating each table i am using separate SqlDataSource() is it sufficient to use one SqlDataSource() for manipulating all the three tables ? i am manipulating all the tables in the same page only please help me
Hi, I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time. thanks. varun
I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
when i alter non identity column to identity column using this Query alter table testid alter column test int identity(1,1) then i got this error message Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'identity'.

hi all, in all my 2.0 learnings and books i keep coming across the page element <asp:sqldatasource>. I have always (in 1.1) used server side connections and adapters to bind my Sql datasets to any control needed. Now that im learning 2.0 im finding it difficult to understand using control on the page to bind my data. Can someone explain the benefits of using this data source? Ideally i would like to keep my data access layer separate from my presentation layer but i'd really like to understand why this method seems so popular. thanks in advance, mcm
Hi, I am new to ASP.NET 2.0 and I am trying to use VWB to bind my web site to a SQL Express edition. I used SQLDataSource to specify the .mdf file so I can connect to my tables but when I click on the advanced button to generate the Insert, Update, Delete SQL I find it grayed out and it cannot be clicked. I looked into several tutorials online and I couldn't find the problem, can anyone explain what I am missing or doing wrong? Any suggestion is very appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to go through a checkbox list and inserting them into a database using a sqldatasource with the following code:For Each li As ListItem In Locations_Checkbox.Items If li.Selected = True Then
Dim DataSource2 As SqlDataSource = CType(InsertProgrammeLocations, SqlDataSource) DataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("ProgrammeID", li.Value) DataSource2.Insert()
End If Next When more than one checkbox is ticked, I'm getting the error 'The variable name '@ProgrammeID' has already been declared'. How do I close or reset my Datasource before I try and use it again? Thanks for your help
Hi, I want to know when to use an sqlDataSource object because I used to populate for example a listBox control in visual studio net 2003 from AQLK server database by using a connection object, command object, dataAdapter object and a DataSet object. I discovered if I use sqlDataSource object (using visual studio net 2005) ,all I need is to write the connection string and a Select statement as properties for that sqlDataSource, so why to use the above mentioned objects(connection,command,adapter,dataset) while I can access any database in sql server through the use of sqlDataSource? I appreciate if you can explain to me the difference and when to use an sqlDataSource thx
Hi, I have an application w/ n-tier design so I've never used the SqlDataSource up to this point but having to do my own sorting for GridViews is not something I want to keep dealing with. I'd like to take advantage of some of the packaged features too. My question is: are there any purists out there who opted to use SqlDataSource. If so, what do you think about it? It's nice that SqlDataSource makes things simple but having data classes and dealing w/ exceptions in those classes certainly make an application pretty robust. Should I entertain the idea of using SqlDataSource or stay as a purist and keep doing things the old fashioned way?
