I'm very new to ASP.NET and have recently begun using the databinding functionality. So far, all I've had to do is drag and drop the various controls and then use the data source wizard to set up an appropriate query. However, now I've got a bit of a different need. In the VB codebehind, i need to be able to ask whether something is true in the database, and then if it is, carry out functions. So, for example, what I need to do is:
if (SQLStatement "Select charttype FROM charts WHERE datasource = " & dropdownlist1.selecteditem.tostring()) Then
'do whatever
end if
Trouble is, I don't know how I would go about binding the data so that I could access it in this way. Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
HiI'm using sqlexpress on development machine and on client server. I'm building a webapp using membership and role provided for asp. In web.config I have definet membership provider and role provider to point to my database.After web site deployment I get allways message : Failed to update database "c:appapp.MDF" because the database is read-only, and I'm forced to apply rights for ASPNET.

I ´d like to know if there is any way to access an Informix database from sqlserver 2005.
We are trying to build a data warehouse in SS2005, and I want to know If I could avoid the generation of hundreds of flats files from Informix and loading them into SS2005, directly recovering all information from SS2005 across any kind of migration or connection.
I have a asp.net 2.0 web applicaiton which is connecting to the remote SQL server 2005. When I run the Web app, then Iam connecting to the DB and its displaying the records on the page.
When I browse the same page from the IIS, then iam getting the following error: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'mydomainuser' "
I wrote a vb 2005 application that access sqlexpress for data using sqlconnection (.NET). The program works fine. When I run debug on my code that is in my laptop, it access my xp server box with sqlexpress running and I see all my data in my application. My question is..When I compile this program and install it on a client machine that has no sqlexpress tools, no SQLCMD etc....will the application run and access the xp server box, or do I have to install something on the client machine.
I am trying to load data to a sql table from flat file..I have a script component which will validate the data. I am also firing the errros when data validation fails. Once I encounter an error I want the whole package to be aborted. What I have done is declared a variable called errorcount (Scope :Package) and I am incrmenting this variable everytime an error is raised and next I have a Conditional Split which will check if this variable count is greater than 0 if yes I will not update the table.This is the only way I think this will work.
error I am getting is :The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute.
I understand they r in the same data flow thats the reason I get this error but how can I by pass it ?
MY dataflow-> Flat File Source-Script Comp-Condtional Split-(If errorCount==0)-SQL Table
How can I redo the dataflow so that this err is not raised.
I have tried to add an output column (blnContinue) and use that in conditional stmt but as this is stored at row level values which have blnContinue as true are getting processed, I dont want this I just want to stop the package execution even if a single validation fails
Lets say I have a Sqldatasource that uses the following SelectCommand="SELECT category,name FROM table". How do I get the value on category from my datasource in code behind if I know that my selectcommand always will return one row? Can I write something like datasource.items["category"].Value? Thanks for your help!
hi to all,i am kinda crazy now... i have this problem regarding codebehind codes... i am kinda still a beginner...can you please give me an example of codebehind codes in which selectcommand (and other commands) in sqldatasource to be written in aspx.vb not on aspx..on how to execute it and so as its parameters...i know that those commands are easy to configure on aspx page... but there some reasons why i need to put it in aspx.vb page... so is there any way...? is my problem clear?hoping for a reply asap.. thank you...
I am trying to use the SQLDataSource from the codebehind. However, I have a problem accessting the ConnectionString.I declare my connection string in my web.config file, and I declare this as:Dim DBConn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DbConnString").ConnectionString)My problem arises though when I get to the SQLDataSource. How can I reference DBConn via the SQLDataSource.ConnectionString?Karls
Hi, I have a SQLDataSource, button, textbox, and label. I take the text from the textbox, count it's occurance in the database, then assign the number to the label. The code works but I would like to provide a button that will execute/invoke the SQLDataSource. I have this in the click event for the button: Me.label1.Text = SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty) How do I execute a SQLDataSource from the code-behind for the button click event? Thanks.
Hello...Can someone help me?I´m getting info of a product via sqldatasource in this way:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="myData" runat="server" ConnectionString="..." SelectCommand="spGetProduct" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="Id" QueryStringField="Id" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>In my ASPX page I get the data in this way:<asp:Repeater ID="repProduct" runat="server" DataSourceID="myData"> <ItemTemplate> <p><%# Eval ( "ProductName") %></p> </ItemTemplate></asp:Repeater> My problem is in my code behind because I need some data from this DataSource.For example, I want the Product Name as the page title. So the question is how I get something like this in my code behind:protected void Page_Load ( object sender, EventArgs e ){ this.Page.Title = Eval ( "ProductName") ;}Thanks!
Hi, I don't know if i's a silly question. Now I want to get data from sqldatasource by only write some code,I don't know without creat some data control components if it can be true? If it can do,how can I write the codes? Especially I don't know how to write the code witch can "read" data.
Hi Folks, How can i pass a string variable from code behind page to html page on event fire. i want to pass sql qerry to SelectCommand (SELECT * FROM [Tickets] WHERE ([TicketNo] = @TicketNo)) in some variable from codebehind on some event fire. <asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqldsTickets" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:IMTicketingConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="" > <SelectParameters> <asp:SessionParameter Name="TicketNo" SessionField="test" Type="Int64" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> Thanks in advance
This is probably an easy one. What is best way to determine if a SqlDataSource is empty (i.e. the query produced no results) in the CodeBehind? I'm using this: if (SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand.Contains(String.Empty)) { //Add code for scenario here. } It seems to work, but something just doesn't feel right about it for some reason. Thanks
I have a database with columnsuserOwnListsuserID uniqueidentifieruserName nvarchar100userList nvrachar100createdDateI have created successfully a gridview controller to edit these values in database. The Gridview data is populated by SqlDataSource.I have also created a EmptyDataTemplate and created a form into it. There is only one textBox and submit button to create the First entry to userOwnLists -table.Now I collect the value from EmptyDataTemplate textbox with id userList1 and create a codebehind logic for the submitbutton.protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { TextBox listName = (TextBox)this.FindControl("listName1", GridView1.Controls);SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["userId"].DefaultValue = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey; SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["userName"].DefaultValue = Membership.GetUser().UserName.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["listName"].DefaultValue = listName.Text; SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["createdDate"].DefaultValue = DateTime.Now.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.Insert(); }The problem is now that I get error: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to uniqueidentifier is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.OK. So I Googled a bit and found this:http://scottonwriting.net/sowblog/posts/4690.aspxMy Question is: How do I convert userId so I can insert it to database successfully?This does not work:String userId = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["userId"].DefaultValue = Convert.ToString(userId);
Hi, I am a newbie in using ASP.NET 2.0 and ADO.NET. I wrote a hangman game and want to record statistics at the end of each game. I will create and update records in the database for each authenticated user as well as a record for the Anonymous, unauthenticated user. After a win or loss has occurred, I want to programmatically use the SQLDataSource control to increment the statistics counters for the appropriate record in the database (note I don't want to show anything or get user input for this function). I need a VB.NET codebehind example that will show me how I should set up the parameters and update the appropriate record in the database. Below is my code. What happens now is that the program chugs along happily (no errors), but the database record does not actually get updated. I have done many searches on this forum and on the general Internet for programmatic examples of an update sequence of code. If there is a tutorial for this online or a book, I'm happy to check it out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

whenenver i run cold fusion, it automatically gets my tables out of the master database instead of the new one i have created. i've added a user that has a default to the new database instead of the master, but i need to know how to use that new user correctly, and what i will need to do once i start adding more databases so that cold fusion will go to the appropriate database and not to the master.
I have been using MySQL as the back end of my .Net 2.0 applications for a while using a custom membership provider without any problems.Having now switched to a new webhost which supports both MySQL and MS SQL Server 2005 and also creating a new site thought I should set up the new site to use MS SQL..... I am having trouble however setting up the SQL server to act as the membership provider. Following the advice on here I tried using aspnet_regsql.exe... Firstly, when trying to get the list of databasses on the remote server I get the following error: Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL Server. Invalid object name 'Sysdatabases' If I then just type in the name of my database and go through to the end I get the following error:Exception:An error occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallCommon.sql'. The SQL error number is 8152 and the SqlException message is: String or binary data would be truncated. I can connect to my MS SQL server remotely without any problem using the likes of MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. Is there any other way I can setup the databases needed for user and roles access control or is the usage of MS SQL much more complicated than what MySQL was?
. The BPA recommend that the model database setting for the items below be set to on. I can accomplish this task through the query analyzer and run the set command. (Set ANSI_NULLS on). The response is positive but when I re-run the report the setting are back off.
I'm in the process of trying to set up my first SQL Server database and things aren't going as per the book! (surprise, surprise).
The 'Identity Specification' option during Table creation, is 'greyed out' and won't let me set (Is Identity) to 'Yes' or anything else for that matter.
I guess that there's a simple answer to this one, but as a newbie to SQL Server ( and VB 2005) I'm curently at a loss.
I'm having trouble changing data in my database. It is actually a VB cuestion, but you see, i just finished lesson 9 of the begginers Visual Basic 2005 video series and in my last run i can't save the data i've changed into the database. no errors are shown, it just does't change the values. i know for a fact that the code is well written and there is no problem with the configuration of buttons and such, because i folowed the steps 50 times so I believe it must be a SQL configuration problem. does anybony have any insight on what the problem might be.

we have a database that only serves Select requests (no OLTP) for our very high traffic websites. what are the benefits of turning on read-only setting for the database if there are no transactions occuring in the database? does sql server put locks on tables for SELECT statements?
There has been a lot of discussion about moving single databases or devices in same server. Can someone suggest the most simplest method to set up a identical server with all the logins, permissions and password etc?
Building a new server with sp_help_revdatabase and dumps/loads is relatively easy but moving the master is confusing to me. I should run the new server and databases for a little testing period (with diffrent server name, of course) and then go live by dropping the old and by adding the new. I remember someone said that this would be as easy as copying master.dat to new machine (when servers are identical), any experience or other suggestions?
Does anyone know how to set a database priority? I have a SQL Server that contains multipule databases. One of the databases is very high priority. I need to make sure that no matter what is running on the server that this database's processes take priority and nothing slows it down.
Is there any practical downside to setting ANSI_NULLS and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER to ON at the database level? Almost all devs will simply leave these default settings at the top of a stored proc script anyway.
I want to query my databases to find out if Auto Shrink is set. I know the status column in sysdatabases holds this value as a bit setting but I don't know how can I check this value using a query.
Hello everyone, I am fairly new to SQL Server Express and I have a question I was hoping someone could help with. I know this will sound very wacky but please entertain the possibility of such scenario taking place...
Is it possible to connect to an instance of an SQL Server Express 2005, using asp, without having a database created and without configuring anything such as permits or users first ?
The SQL Server Express was installed on a PC that runs a web server as well but nothing else was done, I only have the instance name and I know the SQL Server is configured for local access only.
I was hoping to create a database and begin using it with an asp file that runs SQL commands I can input on a text window, but I can't find connection strings that work without specifying a database name, and also I don't know which user and password to use because it is set to windows authentication.
I thought the code would go something like this:
Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=SQLinstance;Address=localhost,port;Database=;Uid=;Pwd="
To top things out the web server is configured to send out a generic error message, so I can't see what the error I'm getting actually is...
Hi,When I create a new database from Enterprise Manager (right click ondatabases > New Database) I noticed that I am not prompted to create apassword or user name. Can I take it then that all databases under thesame local group will have the same password and user name?I have tied to access the newly created database using the samepassword and username but haven't had any luck.Thanks
I am new to Sql server and hope that someone in here might be able to help me out with a little advice on how to go about how to achive the following.
My boss wants me to set up a copy of one of our production databases, the copy is supposed to be used for running questions against thru businessobjects. There will be aprox 10 simultanious users, the original and the copy must never be further apart in time then 15 min. The database is today about 25 gigs and to make it even more complicated the copy must be available at all time during business hours (8-17). The solution is also supposed not to influence the production databases perfommance to much (really low impact to the performance is a key issue).
The options I have thought of is: 1. Use mirroring and then take a snapshot of the mirror for the users to connect to. 2. Replicate only the data that is needed. 3. Log shipping in a combination with the online restore option in sql 2005 server. 4. Log shipping and then take a snapshot of the copy for the users to connect to.
I have also thought about if the need for current data is that high it might even be better to let them run their questions directly against the production db instead since there will not be so many simultanious users.
Any of you guys that have any ideas, all tips will be very appreciated!
