I've got a GridView, a datasource, 2 textboxes and a button. If I choose to bind the GridView to the datasource the correct data is shown. But if I modify the datasource and chooses the TextBoxes as Parameter Controls it doesn't work out as I expected.
Can I please have a step-by-step response which will work? And expecially if one if the TextBoxes eguals nothing/null. Because this is very important, too, and that part doesn't work either.

Hey guys,
I am pretty new to reporting software and I was just wondering in reporting services 2005 when working with multiple datasets and data connection string in order to populate text boxes if the data is a number it is prefixed with SUM at the start of the expression and if it is text it is prefixed with FIRST even though it is just for one value.
I was wondering if this is normal or have I messed up somewhere?
Many thanks.
I'm would like to replace all occurrences of "99999" and "-99999" with "" in a column using SSIS. I can use the REPLACE function in a Derived Column to replace one of those strings, for example: REPLACE(mycolumn,"99999",""). Or to replace both I could use REPLACE(REPLACE(mycolumn,"-99999",""),"99999",""). This seems kind of cumbersome and would get very complicated if I were replacing more strings with "". I'm guessing there is a better way. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,

Hi There,
Can anybody suggest me what is the best way to take a column with comma separated stings and output them into multiple columns with strings?
for example if I have a column with "watertown, newton" as a string, I need to separate them to two columns with watertown and newton values?
Is Derived column transformation the best way to do it?
Thanks.
Sam.
Hi everyone - I'm getting myself into a right muddle and am looking for advice.
How do people deal with connection string matters when taking a dataset defined in one assembly (and by default using the connection strings defined within that assembly in the settings files) and then using that assembly in an app (which also has a requirement to see the same physical database).
I'm not sure I've explained that terribly well but what I'm trying to avoid is duplicate copies of my database which so far seems to be the only way that I've managed to make stuff work. I'm not very experienced with SSCE data access (I'm a serices/sockets/ip person) and this may just be ignorance. Most of the examples seem to assume that the data is in the same place as the app whereas I'm trying to collate a whole series of functions into a helper assembly that I'd like to re-use for other things.
Ideally the dataset designer would provide an easy way of choosing from centralised connection strings - perhaps this is what the Dataset Project implies - but again the docs are mostly focused on SQL Server? Otherwise the best I've been able to do is make the connection properties public and try to update them that way or use a post-build action to copy the database from my datalayer project directory to that of my application |DataDirectory|
I suppose the question might be if you have a dataset containing multiple tableadapters that assumes one connection string, is there any easy way to keep such strings co-ordinated between projects without hardcoding them? With a server resource, the same non-specific connection string resolves to the same server (if that make sense) and this seems to be were I can't make the logical shift.
Does anyone have any thoughts and can they please point this SSCE noob in the right direction?
Cheers
I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?

I am trying to develop a web site. I have a local ms sql database on my machine.
I am trying to connect to a ms Sql database on a goDaddy server from the application.
I am trying to understand the connection string and its total properties.

<
add name="Personal" connectionString="Server=whsql-v12.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;
Database=DB_XX10;

can someone please tell me where I am going wrong, Thanks for your help.....
I am using query strings to pass data from web form to web form and I have two questions. First if i use a asp:sqldatasouce to fill up a grid view and I have my select command set to a paramater that get whatever is in the query string it will not work because whatever is in the quers string gets a " ' " put in front and in the back of it. So if the query string was 5 whene it does the sql statement it sets my paramater = '5' not just 5 so its wont work. How can I fix this using the asp:sql datasource my aspx code looks like
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Rental PropertiesConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [APARTMENTS] WHERE ([PROPERITY_ID] = @PROPERITY_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="PROPERITY_ID" QueryStringField="key" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Also since i have not been able to get around this so i have been wrting code in vb.net to attact a dataset to a grid view to populate it based on the query string i would do the following in vb.net to get ride of the ' in front and behind the query string
Dim y as string = "'" // " ' "
key = Request.QueryString("key").trim(y.tochararray)
But now i am doing another project in C# and I have re-written the above code in C# it will run but it will not take the " ' " out form infront or behind key. How does this need to be changed up?
string y = "'";
key = Request.QueryString["key"].trim(y.tochararray());
How can i make a sum (concatenation) of strings of one column in a table.
for example i have a table like this
field1 field2
1 abc
1 bcd
2 sdf
2 sdd
I want to get these strings added group by field 1
Thanks
I am submitting a telephone number into a table. I have 3 boxes for the telephone number. Telephone1,Telephone2,Telephone3. I need to insert the values of the 3 text boxes into a column called phone in my table.
so like
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO customer_mod (phone) Values (@Telephone_1)
<asp:formparameter name="Telephone_1" formfield="Telephone1+Telephone2+Telephone3" />
I don't think that is gonna work, so can you please help me make that code work?
I developed an application and deployed it onto a hosted provider. I use SQL 2005 Express for development SQL 2000 for production. Both systems work.
I backed up my production database and wish to use it for my development testing. I restored it as a SQL 2000 database on my development machine and changed my connection strings to point to it. I added it as a new Data Connection in Database Explorer and can see all of the data through it, but I see that all the tables now have the owner name in parenthesis as part of the table name.
My application now fails trying to find any of the tables. It works if I include the owner name as part of the SELECT statement. So much for data separation.
I don't know where to start. Is this an issue between SQL 2005 Express and SQL 2000, or is it an issue between SQL and ASP.NET, or is it a hosting provider issue, or what?????
Hey guys, don't know if this is in the right place but here goes.
I'd like some advice on optimizing the way I write my code. Here's the scenario. I have a select string for 3 different tables. One for the main gridview, and two others that are binded to dropdownlists.
So I created a Sqldatasource1,2,3 and had to create the connection strings for each one.
ex. SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource2.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString = "blah"the thing is, the connection string itself is the same. Is there a way to consolidate that? So that when I use a select/update/insert command for each sqldatasource i dont have to have another connection string? Also, having multiple connectionstrings, does that slow down the performance?
In an ASP.NET app, where is the preferred place (or your preferred place, I should say) to store any SQL Statements (updates, selects, stored procedure calls, etc.) you have? I have been using a key/value pair in AppSettings in my web.config but just feel like that isn't the best way. What say you?

I have a small problem that I can't figure out. Here's my table:
----------------------------------------
Members
----------------------------------------
ID | Name | Image
----------------------------------------
When a user signs up to become a member, they can upload an image, which will be stored under Image. It will also be stored in a folder. For example, if the user with the ID of 14 uploads an image, it will be stored in 'livefiles/Members/14/image.jpg'. If the user does not upload an image, NULL is stored under Image, and the user has a default image, which is stored under 'livefiles/MembersDefault/1/image.jpg'.
What I want to do is return the path of where the image is in the folders. Basically...
If Image is not null
SELECT 'livefiles/Members/' + ID + '/' + Image AS ImagePath
If Image is null
SELECT 'livefiles/MembersDefault/1/image.jpg'
I'd rather not do this with an IF statement, I'm doing a lot of other SELECTS, and I don't want to have to copy all that code. Here's what I tried...
COALESCE (NULLIF('livefiles/Members/' + CONVERT(varchar(20), ID) + '/' + Image, 'livefiles/Members/' + ID + '/'), 'livefiles/MembersDefault/1/image.jpg') AS ImagePath
but that gave me an error saying:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'livefiles/Members/' to data type int.
I everyone, I have been on the admin side of IT for the past 20 years and recently started to do some scripting (VBscript) and a little SQL.
I have developed a solution to meet the needs of some federal auditors, but not really met my needs yet.
What I have done is this.
I use MS Logparser to go out to 64 servers and copy the event logs into a DB on a SQL 2000 Ent. Server.
On the SQL server I have one StoredProcedure that parses out information from the security event log DB and put that info into a temp DB.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stp_SecurityAuditReport]
AS
TRUNCATE TABLE SecurityEvents_Tmp
-- Parse Bank Number & UserName
INSERT INTO SecurityEvents_Tmp(DepartmentNumber, UserName, EventLog, RecordNumber, TimeGenerated, TimeWritten, EventID, EventType, EventTypeName, EventCategory, EventCategoryName, SourceName, Strings, ComputerName, SID, Message, Data)
SELECT
DepartmentNumber = '001',
UserName = CASE
WHEN Strings LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[a-z]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE 'Account Unlocked. |%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,21,charindex('|',Strings,21)-21)
ELSE SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
END,
Events.*
FROM Events
JOIN EventsToLog on Events.EventID = EventsToLog.EventID
WHERE SID NOT LIKE 'S-%'
-- Update blank usernames
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET UserName = 'NO USERNAME'
WHERE UserName = '' OR UserName = '-'
-- Update DepartmentNumbers with zeros
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET
DepartmentNumber = CASE
WHEN UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][a-z]%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]#%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]$%'
THEN SUBSTRING(UserName,1,3)
ELSE '001' END
As you can see, we use 3 didgit numeric prefixes on all Departmental employee accounts. This is later used to produce departmenntal user audit reports.
I then have this script in a DTS that exports the report to an excel spreadsheet. (All works well for this purpose!)
DECLARE @TimeGenerated datetime
SELECT @TimeGenerated = TimeGenerated FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
DECLARE @TimeGeneratedEnd datetime
SELECT @TimeGeneratedEnd = TimeGeneratedEnd FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
SELECT DepartmentName = CASE WHEN b.DepartmentName IS NULL
THEN 'All Department' ELSE b.DepartmentName END,
a.EventID,d.EventDescription,a.UserName, a.TimeGenerated,c.Email1,c.Email2,c.Email3,c.Email4
FROM SecurityEvents_Tmp a
LEFT JOIN DepartmentList b on a.DepartmentNumber = b.DepartmentNumber
LEFT JOIN EmailToList c on b.DepartmentNumber = c.DepartmentNumber
JOIN EventsToLog d on a.EventID = d.EventID
WHERE b.Departmentnumber in (select Departmentnumber from Departmentlist)
AND a.TimeGenerated BETWEEN @TimeGenerated AND @TimeGeneratedEnd
ORDER BY b.DepartmentNumber,a.EventID,a.TimeGenerated
This combination of utils and scripts does very good for producing generic security reports for branch officers.
But now I am getting requests to justify/explain what is in these reports. The problem I have is that the information needed to delve further into the event logs is in a field called Strings. This field not only changes in length and the amount of fields within this string, but the information in this field changes depending on the type of event record it came from.
This is the Strings field from a failed logon (529)
200jenil|DOMAIN|10|User32 |Negotiate|SERVER|SERVER$|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x3E7)|6920|-|10.190.12.10|48397
And this is from Event ID 642 which was an account being created.
-|381$cmiller|DOMAIN|%{S-1-5-21-3554868564-134719009-1577582102-7972}|Jmotta|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x58F635E)|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|%%1792|-|-
Now, my script does a good job of getting the first user name out but as in the 642 event the second users name would be useful as well. This is the person that created/modified the user account.
So what I was hoping was that I could use a function (or whatever) to automaticaly split the Strings value into it's individual components and put them into an auto-sizing temp table as something like Field1, Field2, Field3, and so on until the end of string.
I could then use a case to get the information needed.
HELP PLEASE!!
Thank You,

Guys,
I have following table where I need to concatenate varchar column.
For example
IDCOMMENT
__________________
1JOHN SMITH
1 SURRENDER
1TO COPS
I want to be able to group by ID and concatenate COMMENT field to 'JOHN SMITH SURRENDER TO COPS' for ID 1
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Any suggestions and inputs would help
Thanks
I find myself between rock and hard place.
My requirement is to simply output a flat file from an OLE DB source containing three types of records.
The output records should look something like this:
Type 1 contains field1, field2, field3
Type 2 contains field1, field3, field6
Type3 contains field1, field4, field5
The source table contains all six fields.
If I simply map the input to output columns, I get all fields output in each record, which is not what I want.
So I run the source through a derived column transformation, inspecting the record type field and creating a new column containing the relevant fields concatenated together, e.g field1 + field 2 + field3 for the Type 1 record.
The problem is that the fields are now all scrunched together, i.e all the trailing spaces are being stripped out of each field during concatenation.
Is there any way to string these fields together while maintaining the original field length?
I'd like the output to look like
ABC FGH XYZ instead of
ABCFGHXYZ
Hi,
Whats wrong with the following T-SQL?
DECLARE @SQL NCHAR(4000)
SELECT @SQL = 'xxxx'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' yyyy'
PRINT @SQL
I'm only seeing 'xxxx' in the debug window so it appears that its not adding the 2 strings?
Weird?!?

I have created a SSIS package, and got it to perform as I want.
I am having a problem though with connecting to my data source (OLE DB Source) using SQL Server Authentication.
If I use Integrated security, I have no problems. If I use SQL Server Authentication, I get errors.
Here is the connection string that works:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=.SqlExpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase
Here is the connection string that fails:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=.SqlExpress;Persist Security Info=True;Password=**********;User ID=myUserid;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase
The strange thing is that when I use the Connection Manager dialog screen and click on "Test Connection", I get the response that the connection succeeded. It is only when I try to run the task that I get an error.
Here is the error I am getting:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "MyDataBase" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "MyDataBase" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.
I have eliminated the obvious errors (incorrect Userid or password). Also, I am unable to use Integrated Security as this package needs to be distributed to various systems that may or may not be on our company's primary domain.
It seems I am missing something really basic here, but am not seeing it.
Any thoughts?
Hi,
I have a strange problem I can't solve. I have a log table where a have for example a timecreated column where I store dates in the format 0704212112538707
What I want to to is to search for log posts that are in between two dates.
I have this SQL query: select * from log where timecreated >= '070421' and timecreated <= '070422'. With this question I only get hits from the date 070421. I would like to get both 070421 and 070422. I get no difference if I use < or <=.
How would I solve this
