DataSource Controls :: SqlDataSource And Parameters Query / Trying To Accomplish Is Building Dynamic Query
Aug 22, 2010
1. I have a GridView on my page and it uses sqldatasource with parameterized query. What I want to do is, on page load (where nothing has been selected so no parameter supplied), I want it to query everything (something like SELECT * FROM [this_table]) but since my SelectCommand is something like
SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE [this_column] = @someParameters AND [that_column] = @someParameters.
Can I play around with default value to achieve something like that but how ? Now, when the page loads, it doesn't show anything (No Gridview).
2. On my page, I made something like (username, gender, address, and more) and one single search button. That means, no single control enable auto postback. What I am trying to accomplish is building dynamic query
(if username specifed -> SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE [username] LIKE @username).
If both username and gender are specified (SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE [username] LIKE @username AND [gender] = @gender) and you know the rest. How can I do this using GridView and SqlDataSource ? To my knowledge, I can only specify one SELECT statement in a sqldatasource.
I have an editable grid where user can add/edit data. They also have the option to load previously entered data from last month. When the user then clicks save, i want to readd this newly modified data as a new record for this month. So basically I want to call the insertcommand, but it does not work. My 'save' method just 'updates' the records.
Providing sqldatasource, grid and save method <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceLoadActivities" runat="server" [code].....
I have a strange problem...I am programatically adding an SQL SELECT query to my SqlDataSource that my GridView is bound to. If I use the follwing statement it works fine:
[Code]....
But if I use the following one, the gridview fails to load. The only way that this is different is it uses RTRIM and CAST on one of the fields:
[Code]....
I don't understand why this can be. If I try the statement exactly how it is in the query builder and run it it returns the rows no problem.
I have a gridview which I connect by C# and SqldataSource. I use asp.net 2.0 - 3.5.
I want to parameterized the queries and how do I do this in the C# file ? how do I set the selectparameters in C# ?. I do not want to do this in the aspx fil.
My code in C# is:
SqlDataSourceMachineName.SelectParameters.Clear(); SqlDataSourceMachineName.SelectCommand = "Select MachineName from tblMachine inner join tblLocation on tblMachine.MachineLocationID = tblLocation.LocationID where tblLocation.LocationName = 'New York' and tblMachine.StatusID = '1'";
Currently, I have long script which does major processing and then puts data into temp table.
Finally I read data from this temp table to show on the chart, based on user's selection of parameter. So I can divide my query into two parts and while I am researching this,
Is it possible to do processing in one Datasource and read table from second datasource?Is it even possible?
If not, what is recommended method for this (breaking large processing into small one)?
<asp:sqldatasource id="SqlDataSourceX" runat="server" connectionstring="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConn%>" providername="System.Data.SqlClient" selectcommand="SELECT ItemNum, MIN(DateAdded) as [DateAdded] FROM Items WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE [DateAdded] between @DateFrom AND @DateTo
[Code]....
When I call select in codebehind, after 30sec it throws timeout expired SqlException:
[Code]....
again , this select took up to 3 sec to be executed. In application I tried to use SqlConnection and SqlTableAdapter instead of SqlDataSource, with the same query, and again it took up to 3 sec.
If I choose tighter interval (e.g '2011-01-20 00:00:00' - '2011-01-21 00:00:00') , there is no timeout exception, so I know that sqldatasource select is executed correctly. So the conclusion is that sql server is not using index while executing query sent from sqldatasource, but is using index whenever else. I have also checked the index statistics on sql server and it is like that. In profiler i can see slight difference between this two cases. As for SqlDataSource, in events table, in first column "EventClass" after 30 sec, there is this: "RPC:Completed" and application throws timeout. If i use SqlConnection and SqlTableAdapter then at the same place there is this: "SQL:BatchStarting" and "SQL:BatchCompleted" and application does not throws timeout(the index has been used).
what is so special on SqlDataSource connection, that Sql Server performs differently compared to other types of connections?
with query parameters in ASP.NET. For example, if I have query:
[Code]....
for parameter @id I intend to use combobox. Everything is just fine with this example, problem begins when I try to use IN clause.What I need is query like this:
I have a query that I want to test the performance of when the query is included directly in the SqlDataSource versus when I call a stored procedure. Does anyone have suggestions on how I would be able to closely watch the actual steps here? I was thinking of turning on tracing and adding Trace.Write for each of the events that fire along the way. This doesn't seem efficient and I wanted to see if there was a better approach.
I've a requirement that I need to read an excel sheet programmatically using asp.net/C# and write the data obtained into a mysql table.The excel sheet contains something around 50 columns and 2000 records.I am able to read the data from the excel sheet and store it in a dataset.I am using the following code to write the data into mysql table.
for (int i = 1; i <= myDataSet1.Tables[0].Rows.Count - 1; i++) { MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(); for (int j = 0; j <= myDataSet1.Tables[0].Columns.Count - 1; j++) { paramset[j] = myDataSet1.Tables[0].Rows[i][j].ToString(); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("val" + j, paramset[j]); } cmd.CommandText = "Insert into faqimport cmd.Connection=con; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; int x=cmd.ExecuteNonQuery; }
When I try to run the above code I am getting 'Unknown column 'val0' in 'field list'' error.I understand that i am manually creating the parameters val0,val1,val2.....instead I am creating them dynamically using the integer 'j'.But I do not want to create around 50 parameters to insert data into the database table.
Also is there a way i can get the column datatypes from the excel sheet in order to create a new table in mysql with the columns in the excel sheet?
here is my query which is not working properly. I have 5 fields in my table Company, Reseller, Item, Code, Price. How can i get minimum Price when i pass parameters for Code is dublication value
Company Reseller Item Code Price A A-1 I1 C1 20 B A-21 I2 C2 13 C A-B I1 C1 19
select Company,Reseller,Item,Code,Min(Price) from Table1 where code='C1' order by Code HOW CAN I GET THIS BELOW TYPE OF RESULT
Company Reseller Item Code Price A A-1 I1 C1 20 C A-B I1 C1 19
here is my code for selectiong some records from db table
string strSql = "select * from mtblNBD where SentTo=@SentTo and InternalStatus Is NULL order by DeadLine desc"; SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(strSql, con); com.Parameters.Add("@SentTo", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = (string)Session["uname"];
here I am using parameters for SenTo field but not for NULL so it is ok... or should I use parameters for this field where value is NULL , if yes then how can I use parameter for this
i have a query like this and its running correctly
SELECT CAST(REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(P.Telephone, 2, LEN(P.Telephone)))), ' ', '') AS BIGINT) FROM P INNER JOIN PCommunication ON P.ID = PCommunication.ID WHERE P.Telephone IS NOT NULL AND CAST(REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(P.Telephone, 2, LEN(P.Telephone)))), ' ', '') AS BIGINT) > 5000000000 AND PCommunication.TypesID = '7667d187-5fe1-4aaf-9e31-79761561da58'
i am trying to use it with dynamic query like this but its not working
What ive been using now is getting datas in code-behind, passing datasource into a Session, re-binds it to a gridview whenever there's paging/sorting needed. What i want to know is what is better if its performance we are talking about?
Is it datasource into a session Or SqlDataSource for which I know whenever paging/sorting needed is that sqldatasource opens up a DB connection to get the datas again?
I have SqlDataSource with a few parameters (code below). If I understand this code correctly if parameter is NULL I should receive all items from the query. It works fine with query editor. But when I try to use this query on my page - with DropDownList and Textbox controls as source of parameters - it doesn't work. I suspect that main reason of problem is value which these controls pass to the query. Instead of NULL this is an empty string. Is it possible to pass NULL value from DropDownList or TextBox to the SqlDataSource?
By right clicking on my database i created a query in server explorer. But where are this query stored can't find them back. I should aspect that their is a folder query's like there is a folder tables but this isn't the case.
Dim MediaQuery = From m In dB.DOWNLOADS _Where m.ID = id _Select
which returns a record from the database. One of the fields in the record is a FK to another table. I need to read this value to be able to set a dropdown based on the ID but I can't work out how to access it. For a standard record I can just do the following txtTitle.Text = MediaQuery.FirstOrDefault().TITLE
However with the foreign key it doesn't work like that. I've tried drpGroup.SelectedIndex = MediaQuery.FirstOrDefault().DOWNLOAD_GROUPS.ID where DOWNLOAD_GROUPS is the FK field but it returns Object reference not set to an instance of an object. If you're simply wanting to read some values from a single db record in the entitiy framework and one is a foreign key how should I go about getting the value?
I have asked similiar question before where I have two control on the page header says "username" and "gender". User can select both the control or either one and the page will execute searching based on the criteria supplied. So if username supplied
SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE username = @username and if gender supplied SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE gender = @gender and if both supplied SELECT * FROM [this_table] WHERE username = @username AND gender = @gender
I know this sounds not very complicated but in my case, I am having like more than 10 controls up there. It is something likeusername, gender, age, date of brith, title, father name, frst name, last name, blur blur blur and it's a lot then I started to lost. if i were to use if else caluse on code-behind and produce query, it would end up writing a lot of if-else and if i use stored procedure (with if-else) then my stored procedure would contains a lot of if-else statement. I am fairly new to this concept and if I'm on the wrong track, please correct me. Is there any better way to save my hair without actually going through each if-else statement to build the query ?p.s. I'm using GridView and SqlDataSource command to display the result back on .aspx page.
I am trying to check whether a username exists in my database before inserting the new row & display a message to the user if it does.
On my SqlDataSource my InsertCommand looks like this:
InsertCommand="IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = @UserName) BEGIN INSERT [Users] ([UserName], [FirstName], [LastName], [City], [State], [Country], [CompanyName], [Active], [PasswordHash]) VALUES (@UserName, @FirstName, @LastName, @City, @State, @Country, @CompanyName, @Active, @PasswordHash) END"
This works as expected: If the username is unique, the row is created.
If the username already exists, the row is not added.
The problem is, if the row already exists, the insert is rejected but the user is not notified.
So my question is, is there a way I can notify the user?
Maybe something like: InsertCommand = "If Not Exists (select....) Begin Insert...Else Notify User Somehow End This is a basic database, I'm not using the built-in membership provider nor will be.
I've been wrestling with this for a while. What I want to do SEEMS like it would be very simple, buy nothing about it so far has been. Any assistance would be absolutely outstanding.Basic concept of what I want to do is...
I have a FormView which is bound to an SQLDataSource. When a user clicks on a save button the form, I need to write any changes made to the FormView back to the table.
I have a Stored Procedure on my MSSQL 2005 database that should be executed when the user clicks on the save button.
It appears the Update is firing, but when I trap the DbCommand object in the SQLDataSource's 'Updating' event, all of the parameters that should be passed to the Stored Procedure are coming through as NULLs. Consequently, the Stored Procedure isn't updating anything.
In the click event of the save button I'm explicitly firing the SQLDataSource's Update method:
[Code]....
The parameters in the SQLDataSource <UpdateParameters></UpdateParameters> section appear to be correct.
Can anyone give me an idea on what to investigate to figure out why it appears the Update is only picking up NULLs?
