I have a datatable for which i'm defining a dataadapter. I'm specifying an updatecommand with sqlparameters for the dataadapter I set the updatecommand's parameters using the following overload:
[Code]....
The length 16 is used because this is the length of the field according to sql (the image datafield is a pointer of size 16) I noticed .Net is actually truncating the string because of the length i'm setting. An image of size 3kb will properly upload if we set the length field to be greater than 3kb The question I have is what is the proper value (or strategy) to use in order to set for the length field so that ALL images will properly update to the database, with each using the appropriate size.
I guess i could theoretically set the length to be maxint, but this seems sloppy. Looking at sqlparameter documentation i didnt see an 'unlimited' or 'default' length i could set, which would allow each update statement called to use the appropriate size for the data length for that row.
I want to filter by database result based on the current date. I have a grid layout which will display the result based on the current date. I am using parameterized query for getting the result but it is not working.given below is the query i am using
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT TestID, Title, Description FROM aspnet_Test WHERE (Date
=@testdate)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="testdate" DbType="Date" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
and the result should filter on the basis of testdate
String testday, testmonth, testyear,testdate;
testday = System.DateTime.Now.Day.ToString();
testmonth = System.DateTime.Now.Month.ToString();
testyear = System.DateTime.Now.Year.ToString();
testdate.Text = testyear.ToString() + "-" + testmonth.ToString() + "-" + testday.ToString();
but this is not working .It is not showing any error but i am not getting any output.

View 3 Repliesi need to save multiple documents stored in SQL server as Image type to disk.
What i want to do is "backup" all files in a table (column) to disk, zip them and Response.TransmitFile(FilePath) to client.
I could use C# ot VB but that would require a lot of connections to database or a lot of server memory and i don't want that, becauze there are a lot of files to be saved Since SQL can write files to disk i was thinking about saving those files to disk directly from sql. Something like when u're doing a backup

I would like to write an MVC application that accesses multiple data stores (SQL Server, MySQL, Cloud based, etc.).Most of the examples I see use LINQ to SQL for their data access but I read somewhere that LINQ only supports SQL Server - it may have been an old post.I was wondering what the best way to access these different data stores would be. Can I use the Data Access Application Block from MVC to access these data stores?
View 4 RepliesI have a form that submits one entry to a 'Listings' table and multiple entries to a 'ListingLocation' table depending on how many cities the user selected. When the listing is created, I need the auto generated 'id' field to input into each of the the listing rows of the 'ListingLocation' table. This seems like it should be simple but I cannot figure it out. I currently have it hardcoded to enter '22' where I need it to enter the listing id.

I want to upload files from fileupload control and save them as varbinary Filestream in the database.
First of all, does this make sense? Would you recommend this?
Then, how does it work? I want to be able to upload Imagefiles as well as .doc and .xls.
so when i have uploaded a .xls, how would i save it to the Database(i'm going to use Linq2Entities).
I'm trying to define a sqldatasource for writing out SQL Filestream data. For example, I have a SQL table with a column named Data, which is FileStream. The column type is VarBinary(max)
InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO MYTABLE (Data) VALUES (@Data)"
<asp:Parameter Name="Data" Type = ???? What goes here????>
In the code-behind to load the data, I want something like,
e.Command.Parameters("@Data").Value = StringToByteArray("HERE'S THE CONTENTS OF MY FILE")
I have StringToByteArray defined as Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(String.Empty+inputParameter)

I need to select a field value from a database table. If the value read is '1' then I need a 'Y' to display as output in the select statement. I haven't figured out how to do this yet and queries I tried that did not work.

select IsIata CASE WHEN (IsIata = '1') THEN 'Y' from Table_1
I have a table added to a dbml file in my website. The website is already deployed to Live server. Now I have been instructed to a add a new field to the table. The field will be defaulted as getdate().
I don't plan to modify my dbml file for this change since the filed holds a default value. Will it cause any issue(performance related or any other). I am sure that I will not have to use the newly added field in the website. I am new to LINQ.
I have a SQL Server table with a number of fields that are defined with the "Float" data type. I'm running a simple query to retrieve the data from this table and use it to populate a Data Table in my C#.net application.
I just discovered that the data type of the Data Table fields is Double, not Float as I expected. As such, when I store a value like 0.157 it ends up getting stored like this: 0.15700000524520874
I'm aware that such extra "noise" occurs when such a conversion occurs. My major question has to do with why .Net didn't set the Data Type to Float (ie. Single) when the table was first populated?

Is there anything special you have to do to retrieve Filestream data using a SqlDataSource? I'm using VB and have this as my sqldatasource:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceReadPD" runat="server" etc...
SelectCommand="SELECT [PDIPAttachment] FROM [PositionDescriptions] WHERE ([CP_IDString] = @CP_IDString)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="CP_IDString" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
PDIPAttachment is a FILESTREAM column in my table called PositionDescriptions
and this is some of my VB cod:
Dim dv As DataView = DirectCast(SqlDataSourceReadPD.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty), DataView)
Dim dr As DataRowView
For Each dr In dv
Dim data as Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(dr("PDIPAttachment").ToString())
Next
The Filestream data has a PDF file in it, but what I"m getting back in "data" are 13 bytes consisting of: "System.Byte[]".
