i have created a webpage so that my images are stored in a database, however i have linked it to a gridview but when i go to run the page it doesnt show the actual picture saved in the database. in the gridview row it does recognise that there is a picture present but all it shows on the web page is that little x that appears when it cant view a picture, does anyone know how i can solve this problem? i will paste my code behind page and aspx page.
thanks for any advice given,

When generating a SQL report, external images from a Sharepoint image library are not shown (red X).
An unattended execution account is set correctly, the image exists. I have tried with setting the UseSessionCookies to true/false. nothing seems to work.

Hi, I am seeking a hopefully easy solution to spit back an error message when a user receives no results from a SQL server db with no results. My code looks like this What is in bold is the relevant subroutine for this problem I'm having. Partial Class collegedb_Default Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub submit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submit.Click SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [college_db] WHERE [name] like '%" & textbox1.Text & "%'" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() If (SqlDataSource1 = System.DBNull) Then no_match.Text = "Your search returned no results, try looking manually." End If End Sub Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [college_db] ORDER BY [name]" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() End Sub Protected Sub reset_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles reset.Click SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [college_db] ORDER BY [name]" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() End SubEnd Class I'm probably doing this completely wrong, I'm a .net newb. Any help would be appreciated. Basically I have GridView spitting out info from a db upon Page Load, but i also have a search bar above that. The search function works, but when it returns nothing, I want an error message to be displayed. I have a label setup called "no_match" but I'm getting compiler errors. Also, next to the submit button, I also have another button (Protected sub reset) that I was hoping to be able to return all results back on the page, similar to if a user is just loading the page fresh. I'd think that my logic would be OK, by just repeating the source code from page_load, but that doens't work.The button just does nothing. One final question, unrelated. After I set this default.aspx page up, sorting by number on the bottom of gridview, ie. 1,2,3,4, etc, worked fine. But now that paging feature, as long with the sorting headers, don't work! I do notice on the status bar in the browser, that I receive an error that says, "error on page...and it referers to javascript:_doPostBack('GridView1, etc etc)...I have no clue why this happened. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
When running practically any report in FRx (we use it to generate reports in Solomon) we are getting the following error:
FRx Reporting Engine:

This just recently started happening. Is anyone familiar with this? It doesnt give much information after that, it just will not generate the report after the message pops up.

I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.

In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?

Hi I have a business search box and gridview pair. When the user enters a business name, the search results are displayed. I also generate a "more information" link which takes the user to a new page, passing the business name ("memberId")to this page (see the template field below). The problem I have is if the name contains a QUOTE (') or other special characters. The "memberId" is chopped off at the quote (e.g. "Harry's Store" is passed as "Harry"). Can anyone tell me a way around this please? Is there anything I can do with the Eval method? Kind regards, Garrett

I have a gridview that has AllowSorting="true" however I need to implement my own sorting because I have DateTime and Integer data types in several of the columns and I don't want an int column sorted like 1,12,2,23,3,34,4,45,5,56, etc. So, I've added SortParameterName="sortBy" and adjusted my stored procedure to accept this. For only ASC sorting, I've got ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortBy='' THEN DateCreated END, CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated' THEN DateCreated END and so on. However, columns can also be sorted with DESC. I tried CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated DESC' THEN DateCreated DESC END, but I get a syntax error on DESC. How can I do this?
Hello:I have add a DropDownList to my GridView and binded the dropdownlist to a field from a select statement in the SQLDataSource. I have EnabledEditing for my GridView. The GridView is populated with information from the select statement. Some of the information returned from the select statement is null. The field where the dropdownlist is binded it is null in some cases and does not have a value that is in the dropdownlist so I get and error when I attempt to do an update. 'DropDownList1' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: value Is there a way to get around this besides initializing all the columns in the table that are going to be binded to a dropdownlist to a value in the dropdownlist?

I have a simple gridview displaying data from an MSSQL server 2005. Every now and then I get a sql timeout error. Listed below. Can anyone explain why I am getting this error? The connection pool is 100 and the timeout is set to 360. I have checked to current connections in SQL and they never max over 23. There are not locks in SQL when the problem occurs. The query is a stored procedure in sql and when sent sample data it normally takes about 5 seconds.

Hey guys, Am in need of help please, basically the program im working with at the moment is when you add a New Contract, it will grab the Contract Number you have entered, Post it over to another page, then using that number bind a Gridview. The SQL being "SELECT Contract_ID, Contract_Number, Start_Date, End_Date, Quarterly_Rent FROM ECS_Contracts_Test WHERE Contract_Number = " & conNoVar (this being the Contract Number of the recently added Contract), however then it comes to Bind the Grid it kicks up an System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '2009P7899' to a column of data type int.But the Column Contract_Number is set to Varchar and all I really want to do is to create this gridview using this criteria and not convert anything! The Contract_ID is an int, which is needed as I increment it. Heres the error code: Public Sub BindtheGrid()'Bind the Contract Grid, where ContractID is used Dim SQL As String = "Contract_ID, Contract_Number, Start_Date, End_Date, Quarterly_Rent" Dim objConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString) Dim cmdstock As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT " & SQL & " FROM ECS_Contracts_Test WHERE Contract_Number = " & contractQueryID, objConn) cmdstock.CommandType = CommandType.Text objConn.Open() GridView1.DataSource = cmdstock.ExecuteReader() GridView1.DataBind() objConn.Close() End Sub If you need any more information then please let me know. Mucho Aprreciated
