Hi,
I have a category table in my SQL server database. I'm a bit confused and I'm hoping someone can help me. Each of my categories can have a sub category, and each sub category can have it's own sub category, and so on. I would like to know how to design my table(s) in such a way to link the various categories with its sub categories. I can create a subcategory table, but the only thing is I don't know how far the subcategories structure will go.
Can someone please advise me?
Brendan

You would use a self-referential join. In other words you join the table to itself.
Category
---------------------------------------
ID int not null
Name nvarchar(256) not null
ParentCategoryID int null
The ParentCategoryID is a foreignkey that refers to the ID column in Category. If it is null then it is a root category, if it has a parent then it is a sub-category. You can go as deep as you want (2billion+ subcategories deep if you need it)
This design also does away with the category and sub-category tables and replaces it with just one. Unless you need extra/different things in category and subcategory I'd stick with my design above, if category and sub-category require a different set of columns then the design will have to be with two tables.
Does this help?

Have a problem with the Server.MapPath command.
This works on the local ServerA
Server.MapPath("\FSDIR\WORK\track.mdb");
If I want access it from ServerB, programm requires UNC path. This is UNC, isn't it ? He doesn't accept \\ServerB
Server.MapPath("\\ServerB\FSDIR\WORK\track.mdb");
Background :
I have a Connectionstring and need access to an external server. Is there another method to do this ? Has anybody an example for a connectionstring which handles external access ?

It's almost certainly a permissions problem.
IIS runs as an anonymous user, which probably won't have access to your share.
Try enabled NTLM (Integrated Windows Authentication) on your webserver, and then logging into your web application like that. IIS will then use your credentials, and it'll probably work.

IIS runs as a special user, not anonymous. The user name is different depending on the version of windows being used. In IIS you can set which user will be used when the end user is logged on as anonymous. This user can be configured as a domain user, by default it is a machine user.

Is Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine comes along with the distribution of VS.net 2002? I really do not know how to identify such. After installing VS.net 2002, I do not get any SQL shortcut or executable for me to access it. Or I have to download it from Microsoft's Site?
And another thing, in case I got MSDE or Microsoft SQL server express 2005, is it possible to package it with local based application using it as its database? Just MSAccess where you do not need to install access to a local computer for your program to run?
Thank you in advance for your helps.

I found a message in my Visual Studio install that reads: Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not include Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE). To download MSDE, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=13962[^]. So, yes you have to download it.

Yes. There should be some instructions that come with it. If not, there there are a few articles about it[^].

Thank you very much, these things save me a lot of time. And I'm planning ahead for future project. About local use of the SQL Desktop Engine, I have 2 questions..
1. Is it the same if I use Sql Server express 2005?
2. Will it act like access where I do not need to install the Sql Server Express 2005 on the computer that I'm installing my program on?
Your help are fully appreciated

1. No. SQL server exress 2005 is a newer version of SQL server (Yukon - not yet released) than the MSDE distributed with VS. Net 2003 (SQL 2000). Most SQL 2000 functions should work the same on Yukon (It is backwards compatible), but there is no gaurantee at this point since it is not released.
2. No it will not work like Access, you will need to install the server if it is not already present, and attach or create your database to the server.

I'm new to .NET and C# coming from VisualFox background.
I'm having a tough time with this control, namely determining which row has been selected.
I have four columns, three of which are visible, the fourth contains an id which becomes the parameter to a Stored Procedure which then populates a DataGrid.
e.g.
private void listView2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
cmdSelectZoneCosts.Parameters["@zoneid"].Value=this.listView2.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[3].Text;
dsZoneCosts.Clear();
daZoneCosts.Fill(dsZoneCosts, "ZoneCosts");
}
For some reason, the code is executed TWICE(?) the first time the .SelectItems.Count = 0 which crashes the line. If I "trap" for that i.e.
if (this.listView2.SelectedItems.Count !=0)
{
cmdSelectZoneCosts.Parameters["@zoneid"].Value=this.listView2.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[3].Text;
dsZoneCosts.Clear();
daZoneCosts.Fill(dsZoneCosts, "ZoneCosts");
}
It works this way, but why is it running the code twice ??
Can anyone point me in the right direction to a sample walkthrough of a simple form which will display records from a database, Add, Edit, Delete functions.

I want to practice my SQL on Excel spreadsheets. When I have a project open in VS2003.NET and open the 'Server Explorer' window, it tells me (as it should) that there are no SQL Servers to connect to.
When I was learning SQL in school we would connect to the Oracle 9 Database on the Network. Now I want to continue practicing SQL/C#, but have no network/database or internet connectivity.
Is there a way I can add an add an "SQL Server" to this path when in fact the "Server" is located on the same laptop.
Please forgive my ignorance on the subject. I'm in no way pretending to know what I'm talking about but very much want to learn...
thanks for your time....

Hello,
I want to use the command Server.MapPath and need the Server object. Where I can found it for reference ?
|
|
|
|

The Server property is an intrinsic object accessible from within ASP.NET. You cannot simply use Server.MapPath (which is actually HttpServerUtility.MapPath) because 1) it's an instance method and you cannot instantiate the HttpServerUtility class yourself, and 2) it only works with a given virtual path because it needs to map a virtual path to a physical path. This is specific to both the virtual host and the virtual directory. Even on two different virtual hosts, a virtual directory will map differently to the same physical directory.
For future reference, if you have a question about what assembly a class (not object, which is an instance of a class) is defined in, you can view the bottom of the class documentation topic in the .NET Framework SDK that states what namespace and in what assembly the class (or any Type) is defined.

Hello, thx for response. Yes I am working on an ASP.NET project and need the MapPath Method. But if I cannot instantiate it, i have no possibilities accessing it ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have read it, but still not the correct hint.
This is what I've looked for :
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath 
Because I didn't found the Server object, I thought I need an explicit IIS dll. But now I found this in the web by chance ( all other places show System.MapPath instead the right ASP.NET Version ).
