Storing And Retrieving Line Breaks/newlines From Multi-line Textbox (C#)
Aug 31, 2007
I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum (forgive me if I'm not) since I'm not sure if this is an issue with inserting an item into a db or the processing of what I get out of it. I wrote a basic commenting system in which someone my post a comment about something written on the site. I wanted to keep it very simple, but I at least want the ability for a user to have newlines in their comment without having to hardcode a <br /> or something like that. Is there a way for me to detect a newline if someone, for example, is going to their next paragraph?
Let me know if you need a better explanation.
Thanks in advance!

I am fairly new to SQL Server. I work for an Internet sofware company building web sites for our customers.
I am trying to insert JavaScript ad tags into a text field in my db. It seems that when the calling web page is rendered the line breaks are removed from the js code and it does not function properly. I've doubled up all of the single quotes and the line breaks appear in the insert statement but do not make it to the front side of my web site.

I have a field in a db table which is like a chat history.I need to update the field with a user's input (put into a multiline text box) and append that to the beginning of the field.The problem is that I want to maintain line breaks when I retrieve the field into a multiline textbox (aka textarea) and can't figure it out.I've searched around and have seen lots of solutions for converting line breaks into <br> tags, but those people are trying to output to a label.I'm using an update command in my SqlDataSource like this: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + history WHERE [id] = 1"With a parameter declaration like this: <UpdateParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="history" ControlID="TextBox1" PropertyName="Text" /> </UpdateParameters>If I try to concatenate in a or CHR(10), the characters are literally inserted. Like this for example (this is the last variation I tried).... UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + CHR(10) + history WHERE [id] = 1"How do I store a CrLf programatically?

I have e-mails saved in a SQL database with all HTML formatting information.
To remove all HTML formatting I craeted a function on the RS report:
Public Shared Function removeHtmlChar(ss)
try
Dim l as integer
Dim i as integer
Dim ch as string
Dim x as integer
Dim t as string
t = ""
l=len(ss)
for i=1 to l
ch=mid(ss,i,1)
x=i
if(ch="<") then
x=i
do while(mid(ss,x,1)<>">")
x=x+1
loop
else
t=t & ch
end if
i=x
next
t = t.Replace("nbsp;"," ")
removeHtmlChar = t
catch
removeHtmlChar = ""
end try
End Function
When I look at the report on the screen the report is showed correct.
If I print or export the report it add a lot of line breaks in the e-mail text.
Why does it not print it as it looks at the screen?

Hello,
I have a series of fixed width files, all with the same schema. I need to import the data into a SQL Server table. Each record in the flat file begins with 'D1'. The length of each record (string) is 380. There are cases where the record ends after position 193, and a new record appears in the current string beginning at position 194. So at position 194 'D' appears, and '1' appears at position 195.
In the flat file, I need to insert a line break after position 193 if position 194 = 'D' and if position 195 = '1'. I'm guessing I would do this with a Script Component Transformation. Once the file is edited, then I can bring the data into the table.
What might the script look like? If you have any suggestions, samples, or know of examples on the web you can point me to, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Is there something I can do in layout mode to cause line breaks to only occur when data changes? I am creating a list of students and their degrees, but some students have multiple degrees and some only have one. If I place the information in a table with a blank row for a break, it breaks after every degree, but without the break there are no breaks at all.
Here's what I want:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
But what I have is:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
Is there any way to fix this, perhaps with an expression of some kind?

Hello,
Since SQL 2005 Express doesn't appear to let you paste multiple lines of data into a cell -- a task as "basic" as the Commodore 64 -- I'm forced to enter the data for 2 records directly. I'm trying to insert line breaks, which SQL 2000 allowed you to do by simply pressing the Enter key. However, 2005 just moves you to another record. How do I do this extremely simple task?
Many thanks for a speedy reply!

I can't figure out how to get my line chart to break when there isn't a value. For example, I have a trend line over 4 time periods. The 3rd time period is missing a value. Instead of the line ending at the 2nd period and picking up again at the 4th time period, it's connecting the line 2nd to the 4th period. I'd like it to break and for there to be no line appearing in the 3rd period. I bet that's as clear as mud, but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

I am storing formatted data (including spaces and line breaks) in a single field in a table.
When I run a report on that field, the preview of the report is automatically removing all the extra spaces and line breaks, making the report unreadable.
When exporting the report to PDF or printing it, it shows the line breaks and spaces as expected.
Does anyone know how to make the report preview show the spaces and line breaks?

Hi All,
I have a simple SSIS package that runs a query on the db and outputs a fixed width flat file. I have all my column widths defined and in the connection manager i can preview the output. Everything looks great. All the fields fall where they should and each record is on it's own line.
When i run the SSIS program and then go open my text file with a text editor the ouput is all on the same line. I have tried changing my file format from fixed width to ragging right and adding a row delimiter but that doesn't work either. I feel like i'm missing something small here. It could even be an issue w/ my text editor (although i've tried to open the text file in multiple editors). In the flat file connection manager I have my file defined to be 187 characters long, So figure every 187 characters it should output a new line (it should add the carraige return right?).
Has anyone encountered an issue like this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Using Visual basic 2005
I have a form and set up my datasource, bindings etc.
All works well, adding, updating, and deleting via form to sqlexpress except.....
I have 2 columns set up in sqlserver that get data from muliline textboxes on my form.
Column 1 "Material" is nvarchar(50)
Column 2 "Quantity" is int
The first multine textbox "Material" works fine, eather updating in the textbox or in the Datagridview cell.
the second multiline textbox "Quantity" works when I just put in a number in the first line of the multiline textbox, when I put in the 2nd number on the second line, nothing gets updated.
I I do that in the datagridview cell (Shift-Enter), I get an error.
"System string was not in correct format".
I tried integer.parse, but that dosn't work. I'm assuming it has something to do with the next line ascii code or something like that.
Can anyone out there help with this

Hi,
for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line.
for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS)
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line.
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
Thank you all.

We have a line graph which plots the actual data points (x,y), everything is working fine with this graph. Now we need to add a trend line to this existing graph after going thro. the articles we came to know that there is no direct option in SSRS to draw a trend line. So we need to calculate the trend values ourselves which we need to plot as atrend line. This trend line is similar to the trend line which comes in Excel chart, do anyone know how to calculate the trend values from the actual data points. We got through several formulas, but were not clear, have anyone tried out exactly the same, if so please help us out by providing an example to calculate the trend values.

Hi,
When creating a line chart, I would like to be able to show Markers for the data points, but no line between these points (as you can do in excel).
I have set the line setting to none (for the lines of interest), however the lines still show.
Is this a bug, or am i missing something obvious settings-wise?
Cheers,

Hi chaps,
I have the following SQL query (SQL 2005).
Its basically retrieving some values using simple joins.
However there appears to be a problem with the LEFT OUTER JOIN:
"LEFT OUTER JOIN DDDispatchedOrder ON (OrderLineItemTransaction.OrderLineItemTransaction ID = DDDispatchedOrder.OrderItemTransactionID)

Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "OrderLineItemTransaction.OrderLineItemTransactionI D" could not be bound.
Any help would be appreciated.

My question is about coding style for specifying constraints when creating tables.
Two styles for defining constraints:
In-line:
CREATE TABLE Fruit
(
FruitID INT IDENTITY(1,1)
CONSTRAINT PK_fruit PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
FruitName NVARCHAR(50),
FruitTypeID INT
CONSTRAINT FK_fruit_fruit_types FOREIGN KEY
REFERENCES FruitTypes (FruitTypeID) ON UPDATE CASCADE,
DateCreated DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
Out-of-line:
CREATE TABLE Fruit
(
FruitID INT,
FruitName NVARCHAR(50),
FruitTypeID INT,
DateCreated DATETIME
)
ALTER TABLE Fruit ALTER COLUMN FruitID INT NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE Fruit ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_fruit PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (FruitID),
CONSTRAINT FK_fruit_fruit_types FOREIGN KEY (FruitTypeID)
REFERENCES FruitTypes (FruitTypeID),
CONSTRAINT DF_fruit_date_created DEFAULT
GETDATE() FOR DateCreated
Which style do you prefer and why?
