I have verified that Label1.Text has a value that looks like an integer. What is causing the problem? Is there a better way of creating a new record in the child table and making one of the fields match the primary key of the parent table? Thanks.

Code SnippetSQL: select max(id) from t1 Input string was not in a correct format. at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal) at System.Number.ParseInt64(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt) at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader.internalGetInt64(Int32 i) at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader.GetValue(Int32 i, TypeMap typemap) at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader.GetValue(Int32 i) at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand.ExecuteScalar()
really strange error
this is the table t1 name varchar id bigint
select name from t1 works. select id from t1 gave me the same error as above too.
Is it because of its compatible with odbc connection for SQL Server 2005?
what is causing the problem?
Further updates!! select id from t1 works if data type is int instead of bigint !!! is this a problem with the SQL Server driver?

Ok, when I bind a textbox in my FormView I'm changing the format to currency (<%# Bind("TotalValue","{0:c}") %>). When I click Update I get "Input string was not in a correct format" since TotalValue is Int32 data type.
Shouldn't it convert it back to Int32 when it updates the db? Or do I have to do it manually, and if so how?

Assume I have an asp.net/sql server 2000 web app in a shared hosting environment. I then encrypt the connection string using ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider") in the page load of my default.aspx page.
Am I understanding the following concepts then correctly?
1. I upload the site to the shared hosting server. 2. The first time I run the app eg. www.whatever.com/default.aspx, the ProtectSection method above is executed. 3. Now the conn string area of my web.config is encrypted, and asp.net will decrypt as needed.
4. If someone were to hack the server and view the web.config -- whether via getting into the server or via ftp, they would see an encrypted connection string. Thanks very much!

I have the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite trial version and the SQL Server 2005 trial (which came with team suite) installed in my machine. When I installed the SQL Server 2005 I installed it in the Windows Authentication mode. So every time I open SQL Server 2005 it doesnt ask for Username/Password (Its greyed out). The only thing available were: Server Type: Database Engine ServerName: ServerSue Authentication: Windows Authentication. Here is my Problem: I created a small application in C#. In the web.config file I created the following: <appSettings> <add key="resumecon" value="SERVER=ServerSue;database=Resume;"/> </appSettings> Then in the Code behind I created the following string: string strResCon = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["resumecon"].ToString(); Then in method (for a Login page) I created the connection string as follows and wrote code to insert some values into the Resume database. I called this method on a button click event. SqlConnection conLogin = new SqlConnection(strResCon); When I run the page and when I click the button I get the following error: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. I think some thing is wrong in the addkey of webconfig? How do I change this?

hi friends, I have search in my project based on strings(surname, firstname).. but it does'nt works wen name consists of only two letters.... could somebody please help me on this.
Ok, here's my setup. I've got a named instance in a SQL 2000 cluster. I only have dbo rights on my database, because it is a shared infrastructure. Here's my current web.config connection string (the meat, anyway): When I'm at the office, this is my connection string, pretty normal: connectionString="Data Source=ServerNameInstanceName;Initial Catalog=blah..." But, when I connect through the VPN, I can't just connect through the named instance - I have a specific port. This is where things get odd. First, if I try to connect through SQL Server Management Studio (2005), i get nothing. If I try to connect using "ServerNameInstanceName, (comma) Port Number" it connects, but not to my instance. I get a seperate set of databases that I believe are in the default instance. So, I changed the comma to a semicolon (;) - and it still connected to the same thing - connected to the database, but to the wrong set of databases. So, on a whim, I tried plunking my string, which was now "ServerNameInstanceName;(semicolon) PortNumber" into the SQL 2000 Tools and it worked in both Query Analyzer and in Enterprise Manager. So, I thought, I'll just slam this into my connection string and all will be well. No. I can't use a semicolon in my connection string, and I can't find an escape character to use. Double semicolons don't work, a comma doesn't connect me properly, double colons don't work, the JDBC brackets don't work {} - so I'm at a loss. I'm out of ideas. I've set up aliases, and those don't work earlier. I'm using ASP.net 2 with VB & C# and Visual Studio 2005 Professional. Thanks for any help anyone can give on this!
