Can Sqlcommand Parameters Provide Names Of Database Columns?
Feb 24, 2010
Like this: select * from foo where @nameofdbcolumnprovidedbyparam = 1? Whenever I attempt this with sqldatasource or in ado I get errors such as: Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'foo' to a column of data type int.
i've got a gridview and sql datasource. Its connected to a stored proc that has four optional parameters. In VS when i set up the data source, if i use the test option, and dont supply any values for the sproc, it returns all the values in the table which is what it should do. Now when i try to fill the gridview, it wont return anything at all unless i provide values for all 4 parameters.
It's not even trying to search because i had sql profiler open and nothing shows up until i provide all 4 values. any idea why it's doing this? How do i get it to actually bind even if provide less then all 4 (or none) of the values?
I am trying to arrange the report parameters in three columns instead of two columns. I have about 13 report parameters . Is there a setting anywhere to be done.
tried to use gridview.columns.count to see if there are any columns bt it shows zero, second how shall i et the names of columns in the gried view at runtime i need them to be stored in an string array
I have a gridview that I am loading from a stored procedure. I need to be able to hide certain columns and change the column names. Since it is loading with stored procedure the columns aren't listed in the gridview->edit columns properties.
I have DropDownList displays all server present in my network I want to populate the databse names when i changed it into another dropdown I want a LINQ query to get this.
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
Given a string in my database like "Computer Gadget", I am trying to achieve a url format like "http://xyz.com/products/details/computer-gadget" when a user clicks a link to the item "computer gadget" from a list view.In my list view for the products, I have Action links that read like this
[Code]....
When I hover over this link on the rendered page I get a link that looks like "http://xyz.com/products/details/computer+gadget"and the correct product detail is returned after I have url.decoded the string in my Details method. However, the returned page displays a url that looks like "http://xyz.com/products/details/computer%2bgadget"How can I get the returned url to show "computer-gadget" instead?Also when a name has "&" or "/" the server throws a Http 400 error message. I know these are unsafe values, but is there a way to work around this safely to allow the strings keep these characters?
We are buling a hosted ecommerce shopping cart solution and I would like to use asp.net's built-in membership provider. We dont really want to have a seperate database for each domain, we want to share the same database across mupltiple domains for different customers. Each domain is a seperate store.
My problem is that since it's a shared hosted solution people coming from different domains might use the same user name and it would show as if already existed. Is there an addional field I can use to store the domain name so basicly would be unique by username and domain name. We don't want to share information between stores.
Rather than having a details button next to the database entry I would like to make a link out of the name field.basically i want the item.Name field to be the name of the link in theHtml.ActionLink(" **here*** ", "Details", new blablalba)What is the syntax to do this in asp.net
I have a mssql table of names. This table contains names from A thru Z. However, I want to be able to display names by their beginning alphabet...Like first Display names A thru CThen Display Names D thru F and ..so on....and so forth....thru ZI using asp.net and have a grid view with paging enabled.....
I've watched the Slideshow videos and created a number of examples that run fine. The code I've attached at the bottom is the smallest one, but instead of hard coding the image locations, I would like to select the slides from either of the following statements, which return the top 5 images selected randomly from our floorplans database.
<asp:AccessDataSource id="AccessDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="../fpdb/J3_2005.mdb" SelectCommand="SELECT TOP 5 [Elev_Pimage] FROM [PLANS_Active] ORDER BY RND(INT(NOW*[SF_Total])-NOW*[SF_Total])" /> or,
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:J3_2005Slideshow %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:J3_2005Slideshow.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT TOP 5 [Elev_Pimage] FROM [PLANS_Active] ORDER BY RND(INT(NOW*[SF_Total])-NOW*[SF_Total])" /> <title>SlideShow</title>
I am trying to generate a Grid view from database, in one of my database columns the values are 'y' and 'N'. and i need to show this values in a check box .I tried to keep a check box in item template and tried to bind it, but could get much success.
Here is what I am basically trying to accomplish I want to upload images to the server separated into categories and save the file path into the database. I have found plenty of documentation on saving to a file and the file path to a database. But, I haven't found anything that will allow me to seperate the images into categoies.
I have made three tables in the database
[code]....
What I am trying to do is create a gallery for our clients to browse and download different vesions of posters and ad cards.
I have a gridview, where I have made autocode using the wizard. However I need a dynamic SQLcommand from server side. I have tried this code, but it doesn't work, it works if I use this code from HTML (setting the sqlcommand in the SQLDataSource. I have deleted the sqlcommand from the HTML and instead I have implemented the code in the page_load event:
Code:
Dim str As String = SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT DISTINCT Beregning.bId, Informationer.Dato,Beregning.bType, Informationer.pNavn, Informationer.pNr, Informationer.Beskr, Beregning.uId FROM Beregning CROSS JOIN Informationer WHERE (Beregning.UserId = @UserId) AND Beregning.uId = Informationer.uId AND (Beregning.bType=@berType2) ORDER BY Beregning.bId DESC" SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = str But this code works, when I apply the SQLCommand in HTML:
I have another class that creates the connection (see refined class half way down page) and I believe it connects or at lest I do not hit any of the exceptions in run time.
I would now like to insert data into my database but nothing is updated.
I am trying to follow this example but it is for reading.
I did run "querystring" on the show SQL Pane and it does execute correctly. It inserts data properly as a new row.
a) SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery is used for update, insert and delete operations.
Besides the fact that by using ExecuteNonQuery instead of ExecuteReader we automatically know there won't be any query results returned, are there some other benefits/reasons why ExecuteNonQuery should be used?
b) Similarly, if we want a database operation to return a single value, we should use ExecuteScalar instead of ExecuteNonquery ,where with the latter result would be returned via SqlParameter. Is there any particular reason why we should prefer ExecuteScalar over ExecuteNonQuery?
Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server='h'; user id='w'; password='w'; database='w'; pooling='false'") conn.Open() Dim query As New SqlCommand("DECLARE @investor varchar(10), @sql varchar(1000) Select @investor = 69836 select @sql = 'SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(db,''SELECT * FROM table WHERE investor = ''''' + @investor + ''''''')' EXEC(@sql)", conn) dgBookings.DataSource = query.ExecuteReader dgBookings.DataBind()
I need to add in an If statement basically saying if the SQLCommand query returns no rows then show a specific label Can this be done?
