DataSource Controls :: Method To Retrieve Random Data From Dataset?
Apr 15, 2010
Is there any method by which we can retrieve random data from a dataset or rather directly from a table.
For example, I have around 30 questions in my table, I just wanted to display 20 among them and that too in a random order without the same item repeating. Can we achieve this using SP or through some Dataset manipulation?
I have a dataset where I would like to upper all string fileds and when done check each field for a value. The other way i thought to do it is to do an upper of each string when I do the conditional check. I would like to know what is quicker upper of the values in the dataset or upper in the conditional statement? Knowing the dataset will contain a max of 10.000 rows and there are multiple conditional statements in the complete process.
it is apparent that "string builder" is better for building large string compared to sMyString = sMyString + "something";
what is a better way to search large in memory datasets? (like the example above - i know i could use loops, is there another way that i dont now about?)
I added a new table to my type dataset. When the code tries to execute the new row on that table I get the error message.
(if you can't see the error. "MissingMethodException was caught" "Method not found: 'MyTableDataTable MyNamespace.get_SSCase().")
I've tried the wizard and also click and drag the table from solution explorer to the xsd file. The other tables work, just this one table won't work. What should I check?
when I insert any character to column Name then A new string random will auto insert into column Random (picture below) I had used Trigger but It was error !
I want to column Random use to code :
DECLARE @myid uniqueidentifier SET @myid = NEWID() insert into table_1 values(@myid, substring(CONVERT(varchar(255), @myid), 1, 5))
but It must auto like column Number (column Number is Identity)
I dont know why my GridView.DataSource is become nothing when the Page.IsPostBack = true.What i did is bind the dataset to the GridView.DataSource when page load. Then when the button click event is trigger i need to get all the records from GridView. But when i debug and check i found that the GridView.DataSource is become nothing. how should i get all records from the GridView and assign to dataset. I'm using VB.net to work on.
how do i copy required row in dataset to a new dataset. i have bind a xml into a dataset and i need to display say row 3 to 5 only so i do a for loop but i have encounter problem when trying to copy the rows to a new dataset.
do i have to write the xml to datatable and bind it to dataset and from there copy over ?
I'm building a Remoting Demo, and here's my scenario:
There are 4 projects:
ServicedCOM: This project I've built a ServicedComponent, this component using for access data from database.
RemoteLoader: I using this to load ServicedCOM to RemotingServer.
RemotingServer: This is an console application, and this application can be running from another computer.
WebApp: Client, this is inteface using for End User.
and my results: I can access and retrieve data with function is called SpeakHello (test function), but I cannot do the same thing to get sectors using this model, I think I'm doing something wrong. and here's my code snippet:
1. I have a ServicedCOM and a function to get Sectors is called GetSectors (I test OK)
Dim RandomNumber As New Random() Dim num As Integer num = RandomNumber.Next(1, 75).ToString Try Dim Cnn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("File Name=E:WebRHIUDLShelf_Life.UDL;") Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT tbMaster_List.dbMFG, tbMaster_List.dbDescription, tbInStock.ID, tbInStock.dbMFG_Lot_Code, tbInStock.dbDateReceived, tbInStock.dbDateOpened, tbInStock.dbExpireDate, tbInStock.dbLocation FROM (tbInStock INNER JOIN tbMaster_List ON tbInStock.LnkToMaster = tbMaster_List.ID) ", Cnn) Cnn.Open() Dim dtt As New DataTable() da.Fill(dtt)
This is were I am stuck.
I need to filter all rows out except where row(index) = num
Me.GridView4.DataSource = dtt Me.GridView4.DataBind() Catch Label1.Text = "Error: Unable to Pull Data" End Try
How can I select a random row and then update or delete it? I've found how to get a random row, using SELECT TOP 1 column FROM table ORDER BY NEWID() do I have to make another select using this result in order to update the row, or it can be done more efficiently?
i have two sqldatasource controls. one i use to display data in textbox's ,filter'd by a select parameter in page behind code. Once checked, i want to copy this data to the other datasource ,by selecting checkbox.Then display this data in detailsview control.
At present the two datasource controls declared , render data to the page simultaneously during pageload. I want to first check data in textbox's from first source, before second datasource is rendered to screen. note, both are filtered by a page variable. i wish to leave the textbox datasource control in situ, as other controls and code depend on it.The other detailsview datasource is my problem?
I have an application that needs to read data from a view and do some extensive manipulation prior to delivering it to a chart control (without modifying the original data in the database). I have the chart control on the page, and in the code-behind I've built a dataset which I load and manipulate programmatically to have the table, columns and rows needed (no datareader involved) I'm having considerable trouble binding the chart to the 'in memory only' dataset. Chart Control;
[Code]....
Code-behind; The arrays arDate(), arPropBase(), arPropRisk() and arProject() are declared and loaded prior to this code. I am certain that the arrays do contain valid data - I have verified that while debugging
[Code]....
I have tried many different ways to bind the chart to my dataset at runtime without any success;
I am having trouble inserting data into the table using dataset..following is my code:
[Code]....
The m_id is a primary key..I want to auto-increament it everytime a data is inserted into the table so I have configured (isIdentity) to Yes and Identity increament to "YES"..I don't know if its right or not..I already added some data manually into the table but now I want to add more data using the above code..but its not working..
