Thx for your answer but I will a third method becaus my SQLCommand is issue from my Database class so I can't make a new each time.
Here is my solution :
<code>
Dim mParDesc As New SqlParameter("@CAT_Desc", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 250)
With mCmd
.Parameters.Add(mParDesc).Value = Me.aCAT_Desc
End With
mCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
mCmd.Parameters.Remove(mParDesc)
</code>
I don't know what is ths impact on perf. but I don't need an answer in the last 0.0001 seconds 
Regards

In my home installation of VS.NET 2002, I now cannot create a new project (of any kind, WIn WEb etc.) because I get the error "Automation Sever cannot create object". I can run existing projects and even fill in the broken Solution/Project stub with files created at work. When I do that the projects will run fine.
The "stun" that is left behind consists of the sln and proj files without any other IDE generated files that are appropriate to the type of project selected. Un the simplest case (a Class Library project) there is now default class cs file generated.
This installation ran fine for a long time then broke. I had just finished deleting some projects. Perhaps I deleted something that I shouldn't have?
Any clues?

This is Gary at work. Noone seems to have any suggestions. See my problem in Soapbox section. I thin the solution is to change my e-mail address in the Profile section of this site to the one of Garya at home. If Gary at home can edit this message from work then he can be the sole user of the site since he can read his home e-mail when he's not home.

I have no experience in this area, but have something to say anyway
SQL Server 2000 is a licensed software product, each copy of which must be legally licensed. Unless you have licenses from Microsoft for each distributed copy, it would be illegal to distribute it with your software.
MSDE (the stripped down version) is a different matter. That can be legally distributed in many cases. You may find more of what you are looking for if you focus your searches/enquiries on MSDE.

I'm using the following command to select all the columns from a table
SELECT * FROM table When the command executes it's not returning the columns in the same order they were added to the table. For example if I created the table with column1, column2, column3, column4, they're being returned as column1, column4, column2, column3 (for example). Is this normal? Is the best way around it to simply specify the columns in the order I want them in the query? Thanks. I'm using MSDE.

You should always specify the columns you want. Mainly because it means that if the data model changes then any existing queries will still return the data in the form that you are expecting. (Assuming that no columns are deleted / moved to different tables etc.)
IIRC specifying the columns in a select is faster at execution time.

Where do i begin. I am very new to all of this. I have a class using visual studio.net where i have to creat a single record display that shows data one record at a time, on a form. I have to use ADO and SQL. I have the SQL it is:
Sort by Name
SELECT Customer.CustomerId, Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName
FROM Customer
ORDER BY Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName;
Non Zero Balance
SELECT Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName, Customer.Balance
FROM Customer
WHERE (((Customer.Balance)>0))
ORDER BY Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName;
Select by State
SELECT Customer.CustomerId, Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName,
Customer.State
FROM Customer
WHERE (((Customer.State)=[@WhatState]))
ORDER BY Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName DESC;
Sum Balance
SELECT DISTINCTROW Sum(Customer.Balance) AS SumBalance
FROM Customer;
Insert customer
INSERT INTO Customer ( LastName, FirstName, Balance )
VALUES ([@newlast], [@newfirst], [@newbalance
I also have my form code which is
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.

If Not (components Is Nothing) Then

The file i am getting the information for the table to display the records is customer.mdb. From what i gather I think i have to change the button event to be something like me.bindingtxt(customer.mdb,"customer"). Is that right? I won't post my next question until i get a response, this one's long enough!

I'm not sure exactly what problem you are having.
Have you connected to your database yet?
Have a read of http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbtskcreatingconnectiontoaccessdatabase.asp[^]
The other articles in the section should give you a clearer idea of how to proceed to bind your dataset to controls.
Alternatively, you could use the DataForm Wizard to generate an example form and study the code to get a better understanding.

i'm stuck
im trying to save a text file to sql server(in a 'text' column ); have no problem with unicode text, but with non-unicode strings after saving to the sql server i read garbage from the columns
here's my code
_bstr_t bstr_text = adoStream->ReadText(adoStream->Size);
// dumping bstr_text shows the text here in bstr_text is ok
recSet->Fields->GetItem(item)->Value = bstr_text;
// debugging down to Field20::PutValue shows that correct data is being put in the field

If your source data is 8-bit character-oriented, you should use a text column and ensure that the client's thread locale is the same as the locale used by the column.
If your source data is 16-bit character-oriented, use an ntext column. You should also use ntext if your client's locale will be different from the server's.
If you're just interested in storing and retrieving a file with no conversions at all, use an image column to treat it as binary. Obviously you can't do full-text search on an image column.
When you assign a char string to a _bstr_t, the conversion to Unicode is performed using the thread's default code page. When the opposite process occurs to store the data in the database, SQL Server uses the configured locale's code page. If the two settings don't match, the conversions may not be a round-trip.

thank you, but i know all of this already.
i think i found the problem: it turns out that whenever i call _bstr_t bstr_text = adoStream->ReadText(adoStream->Size);
no matter if the file is unicode or not, the data is saved to the wide char member of _bstr_t
so some hacking is needed to get correct results with C char* data
|
|
|
|

Yes, this is because ADO is an Automation interface designed for access from Visual Basic, and hence uses BSTRs throughout. It isn't really designed for use with C++.
You can access char-based data directly, without intervening conversions to and from Unicode, using the OLE DB interfaces. Visual C++ supplies the OLE DB Consumer Templates, which can simplify the task somewhat.
If you need to get char-oriented data back out of a BSTR, see WideCharToMultiByte.

I’m having a problem connecting my application to an MySQL server at an web host, have no problem on my own system.
The host doesn’t seem to know what’s wrong.
I’m using .Net Framework 1.1 and System.Data.ODBC and when connecting to the server get this error.
ERROR [S1000] [TCX][MyODBC]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
ERROR [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The driver doesn't support the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested (see SQLSetEnvAttr)
I have tried different connections strings, OleDB, SqlClient. But it just doesn’t seem to work.
If you have any ideas or know where I can find some information about this, I would be very happy since I can’t find any.
|

|

You must use System.Data.ODBC. SqlClient is only for Microsoft SQL Server databases.
First, try the MySQL client directly (if you can). This will isolate whether there actually is a MySQL server running.
Error number 10061 looks like a Windows Sockets error code, where it means WSAECONNREFUSED. Typically this means there wasn't a server listening on that port.

I am using System.Data.ODBC.
There is an MySQL server running since I have edit the MySQL database thru phpMyAdmin.
Im not declaring any port in my connectionstring.
Thx for trying.

|
|

As indicated by the error message, you are trying to connect to a server on your own machine i.e. localhost. Recheck your connection string. See http://www.connectionstrings.com.

do any of u have an idea if there is anything similar to the Hierarchical Recordset of ADO in ADO.NET

Can anyone explain me how to convert a date with the format YYYYWWD (where WW is weeknumber an D is day (1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday, 3 for Wednesday, 4 for Thursday, 5 for Friday) to YYYYMMDD.
|
|
|
|
|
An obvious way would be to find out which day number January 1 of the given year was, then add WW lots of seven days. SQL Server's date manipulation functions are capable.

I want to do a simple select * of all the fields I have in a table, but there is a text field in it and if I do "SELECT * FROM table" almost all pertinant information scrolls out of the screen and buffer (I'm using MSDE with OSQL) because the text field is so long. Is there a way to limit this without having to specify every field I want to select? Thanks.
