Sorry I dont think I made myself clear..
I have already succeeded in populating my dropdown list. It shows:
"Surname, Forename"
I am referring to doing the same for a datagrid column. The column is already populated using an SQL View as shown in original post. Instead of having the column display:
"Surname"
I want it to display:
"Forename, Surname"
see what I mean ?
|
|
|
|
|
in ur view instead of surname set forename and instead of forename set surname
i.e
select ........ forename + ', ' + surname as fullname<br />
<br />
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "fullname";
|

Thank you very much for your replies..
Works now! 
Turns out I had to remove the following bold entry:
SELECT ..., tblUser.Surname, ... FROM ...
and place:
tblUser.Forename + ' ' + tblUser.Surname AS Fullname instead!
Lol, Thanks.. it helped a lot. At least just to show me how trivial this was!

Hello,
I have two tables with the following fields:
1. Table "web_Content"
Fields: [ContentId] > Primary Key;
[ContentName];
[ContentPage].
2. Table "web_ContentLocalized"
Fields: [Content_LocalizedId] > Primary Key
[ContentId] > Joined to ContentId in table "web_Content"
[ContentCulture]
[ContentHtml]
I want to INSERT a new record in both databases.
What I mean is that a new record will add values to [ContentName];
[ContentPage]; [ContentCulture] and [ContentHtml].
[ContentId] and [Content_LocalizedId] are autonumbers.
[ContentId] in table "web_ContentLocalized" should be the same as in
[ContentId] of "web_Content" table.
Anyway, I tried but until now I was able to make this work.
This is what I have:
INSERT INTO web_Content ( ContentPage, ContentName )
SELECT web_Content.ContentPage, web_Content.ContentName
FROM web_Content INNER JOIN web_ContentLocalized ON
web_Content.ContentId = web_ContentLocalized.ContentId;
Thanks,
Miguel

An INSERT statement can only target one table.
It is possible to target an INSERT statement to a view in SQL Server if you're prepared to create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view, but this trigger will have to be coded to perform an INSERT into each table separately.
The general way of handling this is to use the SCOPE_IDENTITY() function to discover the identity value of the last row inserted.
You could consider creating a stored procedure:
CREATE PROC uspInsertWebContentLocalized
(
@contentName varchar(n),
@contentPage varchar(n),
@contentCulture varchar(n),
@contentHtml varchar(n)
)
AS
INSERT INTO web_Content ( ContentName, ContentPage )
VALUES ( @contentName, @contentPage )
INSERT INTO web_ContentLocalized
( ContentId, ContentCulture, ContentHtml )
VALUES
( SCOPE_IDENTITY(), @contentCulture, @contentHtml )

Hi,
I want to search a DataSet (dataset contains several tables) for a specific value. (Writing a login method that shall verify if the user exists and has the correct password)
I am bit confused about; DataSet, BindingSource, DataTable etc.
thanx in advance
Regards

What specifically are you asking?
You seem to know what a DataSet is...It is a collection of DataTables.
Or are you asking about connecting to a Data Source like an access database or something? In that case you would need to research command objects, connection objects, and data adapters. I'm sure you can find a bunch of articles about connecting to a datasource here at codeproject.

Hi,
Thanx for your reply.
What I am a bit confused about is once you have "imported" data into the DataSet how do you search for a value in the dataset? Is there a common/standard way to do this? I think of a DataSet as an interface to the datastorage and therefor expect methods like getDataByUniqueKey(), searchForData(DataTable table) etc. I now understand that this is not the case. So should I write an interface to the DataSet? Maybe the problem is that I do not fully understand the relations between TableAdapter, BindingSource, DataSet?!
:-/
Hope this clarify the issue/question?!
cheers

I think you've probably had trouble finding information on this because you don't really search a DataSet...You would do the search on a DataTable. There are a number of ways to perform a search on a DataTable object, I'll tell you about one. First of all, since a DataSet is a collection of DataTable objects, you can reference a table IN a DataSet like this:
dsMyDataSet.Tables("myTableName")
or, if for example you knew the table you wanted was the first table inserted into the DataSet:
dsMyDataSet.Tables(0)
So one way to search the DataTable requires that you first have a primary key constraint on the table. If you got the data for this DataSet from a data base by using a DataAdapter and doing a .Fill the constraints are not necessarily carried over into the DataSet. You may have to do something like this:
With dsMyDataSet.Tables("dtMyTable")<br />
.Constraints.Add("pk", .Columns("PrimaryKeyColumnName"), True)<br />
End With
The "pk" parm gives a name to the new contraint for referencing it later, the .Columns("PrimaryKeyColumnName") parm specifies which column in the DataTable is the primary or unique key, and the True parm specifies that this is a primary key. This works when just one column makes up your primary key, if you have more than one column as a primary key the .Columns("PrimaryKeyColumnName") parm should be replaced by an array of DataColumns from the DataTable that compose the Primary Key.
Once you are sure that your DataTable has a primary key constraint you can search for a row like this:
Dim rowFound As DataRow<br />
rowFound = dt.Rows.Find("myKeyValue")
or if your primary key is a number:
Dim rowFound As DataRow<br />
rowFound = dt.Rows.Find(1003)
I hope this helps.

I m trying to execute the following store procedure
create Procedure sp_sys_getMax
@FieldId int,
@tablename varchar(255)
as
select Max(@FieldId) from @tablename
the following error is occuring:
Must declare the table variable "@tablename".
i want one store proc for all tables. plz help me in this.
|
|
|
|
|
create Procedure sp_sys_getMax<br />
@FieldId int,<br />
@tablename varchar(255)<br />
<br />
as<br />
<br />
select Max(@FieldId) from tablename
|
|
|
|
|
You can't pass table names as parameters. What you want to do will not work.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what you are passing as your first parameter, but if you make the following procedure and pass in the Field Name and Table Name, you should get what you're after.
create Procedure sp_sys_getMax
@FieldName varchar(50),
@tablename varchar(255)
as
declare @sql varchar(300)
set @sql = 'select Max(' + @FieldName + ') from ' + @tablename
exec(@sql)
GO

Say for example you have two companys using the same database...but each table in the database has a company id so you can keep track of which company ownes the data...now the question is, I need to insert a record and return the id for that record, but IDENT_CURRENT is going to give me the current ID for that table...not respective of which company inserted the ID...so what is the best way of getting the correct id? Here is the wraper class so far...I dont mind if you re-use it in your projects, but help if you can please 
Thanks in advance guys(and girls  )

How to excute parameterized storeprocedure in LinkedServer.
Rickey

Hi guys,
Got this problem that's really annoying me as I can't find an answer and I know it's going to bug the hell out of me when a simple solution comes up.
Anyway, I'm using C# to connect to an Access database using the following code:
cmdFindLenders.CommandText = "SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyNameID='" + strCompany + "'";<br />
SqlDataReader rsFindLenders = cmdFindLenders.ExecuteReader();
However, due to Access and the crappy proprietory SQL is uses, it needs the string (the company name) to be passed through using double quotes, not single. So the SQL should read SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName="Microsoft" rather than SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName='Microsoft'
If I use the \" escape character in my SQL string, then the command text passed to Access isn't what I intended and it comes out like this: SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName=\"Microsoft\"
Grrrrrr!!!!  Any ideas any one?
Baz

Use '' to replace ' quote and access does not use \ as the escape sequence
|
|

SqlDataReader
First of all, shouldnt you be using an OledbDataReader rather than an SqlDataReader? The SqlClient namespace classes are intended only for use with SQL Server, and it is surprising to me that they work at all with Access. Not sure how you are constructing the string that caUses the escape sequence to be ingored (you're not prefixing with an @ are you?), but try this:
public const string sQuote = "\"";
public string QuoteString(string strToQoute)
{
return sQuote + strToQuote + sQuote;
}
...
x.CommandText = "Select ID from Company where CompanyName = " + QuoteString(strCompany);
....

Thanks for that Rob - yeah my bad! I am actually using the OleDbDataReader and not the SqlDataReader class in my code. I was trying to get this question up there before CSI came on the TV!!! (it comes on at 9pm here in the UK)
Anyway, the method you have presented there is the same method I am using, and the CommandText that gets passed to Access is actually:
SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName=\"Microsoft\" and obviously not what I want!
EDIT: Woah! After rebooting my machine, it now seems to pass through the correct string... i.e SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName="Microsoft"
Not sure what happened there... anyway, the query never finds the company regardless of the name supplied, even though the company is in the database! Any ideas on this one? I have seen a similar situation when searching on Google, but couldn't find a fix

Can't you use SqlParameter instead? I'm not 100% sure whether it works with Access but it's safer than using concatenated Sql strings and you don't need to worry about the quotes.
