The war still rages, eh? 
At this point, I recommend that you get back to basics (no, I don't mean quit your programming job and start farming). If I were you I would create a new app, a test app, which has three things in the GUI: a textbox, a button, and a grid. In the button's Click handler, call into your stored proc. Forget about using the SqlHelper class for now. Eliminate as many variables/unknowns as you can and try to narrow in on what the F is going on! 
Best of luck,
Josh

I'm kind of to that point. I went back to my old one with the SQL stuff in the code behind. That pulls the data beautifully. But I'm trying to add a blank row using this:
DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable();<br />
myDataTable = ds.Tables["Rest"];<br />
DataRow row;<br />
row = myDataTable.NewRow();<br />
row.ItemArray = dt.Rows[0].ItemArray;<br />
row["PartNumber"] = DBNull.Value;<br />
myDataTable.Rows.Add(row);
This gives me
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: There is no row at position 0.
I'm basically trying to create a blank row in the main datagrid. Any ideas oh wise and wonderful Josh?

Where did 'dt' come from? Are you certain it has rows (it doesn't look like it does)? Check that out in the debugger.

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :->
I am not an ASP.NET developer, so I can't really help you much there. I would assume that what you're doing (adding a blank row) should do the trick. If it doesn't work out, try posting to the ASP.NET forum (after checking/googling for a solution first, of course).

I was trying different code snippets with different naming conventions and somehow they ended up together. I fixed the stored proc stuff (giving length to varchar) and no difference. I basically have two applications: one with the SQL in code behind, and one with the SQL helper. I get the error or no row on line 0 in both cases. I did post to ASP forum so hopefully someone will pick up on it.
Funny you mention farming. Sean Penn is filming a movie close to my hometown and they did casting this weekend. But they still need people who can drive a combine. I just need a headshot!

The problem must be that the table just doesn't have any rows in it. If all else fails, you can create a new DataRow and populate the Columns collection manually. Anyways, why are you trying to set the ItemArray on the new "blank" row if you want it to be blank? Setting the ItemArray will give it values.

I hear that babes love men who drive combines in Sean Penn movies. You'll be a star, baby! Don't forget about me when you're a rich and famous Hollywood star.

I found about 5 articles on inserting a blank row and this method seemed the best for my needs. That's how he set it up.

nah?

As I mentioned above, this is how the guy did it in his example...and it worked on the northwind database. Of course he was just dumping out records as opposed to filtering like me.

Ok - but the new row won't be blank. That's all I'm saying.
Cheers,
Josh
P.S. When you're a famous Hollywood combine driver, don't forget the little guys (like me) who helped you get there.

Shouldn't the varchar have a size assigned to it? e.g varchar(64)
Or does your stored-procedure only take one character as its parameter?

Good catch!

Yes, I did forget to assign a size to it. I have fixed that but trying something else now. My main problem now is I am trying to add a new line to the grid and keep getting "no row at position 0." i'm clicking a button to insert the line...
DataTable dt = ds.Tables["Rest"];<br />
DataRow row;<br />
row = dt.NewRow();<br />
row.ItemArray = dt.Rows[0].ItemArray;<br />
row["PartNumber"] = strPartNumberInputReference;
|
|
|
|
|
Have you verified that dt.Rows.Count is not 0?
|
|
|
|
|
um, no. That's probably it. Since they are hitting the add part button, there is no data in the datagrid yet. I'm wondering if I can bind a blank datagrid so it technically has a row, or if it is just null.

Why are you trying to assign the values of row 0 to the new row?
When there is no data in the table, you won't have a row 0
Can't you just do
row = dt.NewRow();
row["PartNumber"] = strPartNumberInputReference;
dt.Rows.Add(row)

Okay, at least got it to compile and have a blank row. However, not showing what I entered in the textbox in the PartNumber column.
DataTable dt = ds.Tables["Rest"];<br />
DataRow row;<br />
row = dt.NewRow();<br />
strPartNumberInputReference = txtPartNumberInput.Text;<br />
row["PartNumber"] = strPartNumberInputReference;
Just shows blank. Any ideas?

After the call to dt.Rows.Add(row), is the information in the DataTable?

Let me try to explain what is happening.
In the text box enter '123' and click the Search button.
Nothing for '123' so grid comes back empty. Just the headers.
Click the second button 'add part' and that's where I want it to add a new line, with the column part number filled with that '123' entry.
I'm not sure what I did now. When I click the 'add part' a row does show up, but it is returning data that has nothing to do with the entry.

What data is it returning? Data that is in the table or some other.
I use similar techniques to what you are trying a lot and haven't had this problem. Is this an ASP.NET or WinForms app?
Is it the display that is wrong or is it the actual datatable? When you put a watch on the DataTable, does it get the correct data in the new row.?

I'm having problems with creating a process to show a webpage, and the object returned not having a valid handle. The page loads fine in all instances, but without a working handle I'm stuck on some activities to perform on the open window. I'm stumped as to the pattern involved. This seems to not work at boot, and at some point spontainiously begin providing a handle and then continue to do so for the remainder of the session. Once it started working hte only time it stopped again was after I un/redocked my laptop to attend a meeting. Any thoughts on what's going on here?
m_helpBrowser = new Process();
m_helpBrowser.StartInfo.FileName = "IExplore.exe";
m_helpBrowser.StartInfo.Arguments = indexPath;
m_helpBrowser.Start();
if (this.m_helpBrowser.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32() == 0)
MessageBox.Show("browser opened with no handle");

Hi!
Seems to be a timing problem.
Immediately after the process has been started, IE sometimes doesn't seem to have had enough time to create the main window, so you'll get IntPtr.Zero.
The documentation for Process.MainWindowHandles suggests calling Process.WaitForInputIdle to make sure the process had enough time to start up completely.
Regards,
mav

Adding the WaitForInputIdle call's removed the null handle problem, instead I'm occasionally getting an "invalid window handle" error when using the win32 api call GetWindowThreadProcessId and passing the process handle. The handle number my error catcher displays appears to be a random int. Eventually it spontainiously starts working again.

Based on about a dozen reboot cycles, the garbage value for the handle is only occuring in the first instance of my app launched, and is present for multiple close the browser/open a new one cycles. A 2nd copy started and running concurrent to the first will be able to successfully use the Process's handle each time even while the 1st is still creating new garbage values. Delay in starting the app, delay between starting the app and opening the browser, and delay between opening the browser and trying to use the handle all have no apparent effect.
If this is a timing issue, could it be that IE's taking longer to startup than WaitForInputIdle's maximum timeout? I'm using an old p3-550 for my reboot testing, so a timeout intended for a faster machine might be inadequate here.

2nd followup it's the 1st instance of IE that's the problem regardless of how it's started. starting IE before my app and I never see this.

I'm developing a Windows App in C#. I've been researching ways to pull my tooltip text and HelpString text (from a helpProvider control) from an external file (such as .html) instead of hardcoding it into my controls. So far I haven't found any documentation. Has anyone had experience doing this, and if so, can you enlighten me?

I'm familiar with HelpProvider.SetHelpString, but that requires you to type the help text that you want to be displayed directly into your code:
this.helpProvider1.SetShowHelp(this.zipTextBox, true);<br />
this.helpProvider1.SetHelpString(this.zipTextBox, "Enter the zip code here.");
What I want to do is create a file (not sure what kind of file - .txt, .html, .chm?) that contains all of my help text associated with each control. The code in my windows app project would then pull the help text from this external file, instead of having to type the help text directly into my code. I want to do this so that I have one file with all of the help text, so I don't have to go through each form in my project in order to update the text.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
