DataSource Controls :: Best Way To Allow The User To Import Data From A .CSV File At Runtime - That Is Dynamically?
Feb 19, 2010
I'm writing my web application in VB. Is there any way to allow the user to import data from a .CSV file at runtime - that is dynamically? I intend to have the table structures in place, then just have it such that they can append or replace the data that currently exists in the system.
I have a project where an Excel file is dumped out in a specific format. I can't change how it's dumped. I need to make a website with .NET & C# where I can look for the Excel file (will always be in the same location - probably same name with .xls extension), dynamically get the sheetnames and import each sheet into 1 sql database.
I just need the user to go to a webpage and click "Import" button, or something like that and everything happens behind the scenes.
I was going to do it in SSIS but there were problems with dynamic sheet names and it wouldn't catch all the columns ..
There is an Excel document that is being updated and stored in a Sharepoint list. I am using the Import wizard in MS SQL to import the Excel data. Since the file is in a list in Sharepoint can I get access to it? I can see the file in Explorer in a web folder, but this file will not import. I have been able to import the file from my hard drive. What is the best solution for this? Should I import the Excel into Sharepoint? How can I get the data stored in the Excel file in Sharepoint into MS SQL?
i have different tables for product details, images, category mapping
is there any way to import/export products by excel file in database along with category mappying and pictures in one go rather that importing just the products and then categorizing each product and adding image one by one ?
Im trying to import a semiolon seperated file into mssql db 2000 table and I need your help.I can read the file and present the content in a for loop, but I would like to extract values at certain possions.Like "Fel Beskrivning;Konktakt förare; and so on.
i have bind jqgrid at runtime using append method like this:
Public Sub intializegrid() Try Dim sb As New StringBuilder sb.Append("<script type='text/javascript'>") sb.Append(" $(document).ready(function() {")
[code]....
while binding the record it throws error like "system.web.http unhandled exception" at server end.and also none of the button is working after binding the Jgrid.
I am trying to explode some data from an ntext field into a cvs for import, here is what i have so far,
DECLARE @XML as XML DECLARE @hDoc as INT SET @XML = (SELECT billaddress FROM order WHERE id=7 ) exec sp_xml_prepairedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @XML SELECT firstname FROM OPENXML (@hDoc, '//') WITH (type text './type/@text', FirstName text './FirstName/@text') exec sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc OUTPUT
here is the errors:
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 4
Could not find stored procedure 'sp_xml_prepairedocument'.
Msg 8179, Level 16, State 5, Line 6
Could not find prepared statement with handle 0.
Msg 6607, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_xml_removedocument, Line 1
sp_xml_removedocument: The value supplied for parameter number 1 is invalid.
My issue is that , need to change the column name(following some format) of the gridview (which is binded with XMLTextReader). Without changing directly XML file, Required to change the column name dynamically at runtime .
I have a gridview, in an update panel, that's populated by an object data source when the page loads. This same Grid View is going to use a different data source and slightly different columns collection at runtime. The columns collection will be very similar, with one column added and three removed. Is this the best way to do this?
The other solution would be to create another grid view and data source to use when needed. The two Grid Views can be toggled off and on to use the correct one as needed. I've done this and it worked well, as far as I can tell. I'm curious if there are performance implications because of the additional Grid views and data sources. Or, if there are other reasons not to do this.
Which of these two ways is the best way to do this? Should I toggle between the two Grid Views at runtime or modify the grid view(datasource and columns) at runtime in the code behind?
I have an application which imports data from csv to sql server 2005. It is taking long time to import data from csv to sql server 2005. it has a timer. on tick of timer, I am checking if current rown in csv exists in database. If it exists, It is not added to sql server otherwise, It is added that row to sql server 2005. Also, In page load, It checks on each tick, whether user is logged in or not. it adds value to log file that user is logged in. How can I optimize this ?
i am developing an application using ASP.NET with C#.Net and SQL SERVER 2005. here i am importing data from excel sheet to database.in my excel sheet some fields have large data.and for those fields i had taken NTEXT as data type in my database.when i am trying to import the data,the fields which have large text are not inserted completly.i.e some data is missing. the field in database accepts the data upto some characters only.what would be the reason for this? and which data type can i use for inserting large data?
In the above mentioned article at "[URL]" instead of selecting the existed table in dbserver is it possible to create a dynamic database table based upon the structure of the excel file to be loaded??
You know how when you put your cursor over the line that seperates 2 columns of a grid, the cursor turns into a 2 headed arrow and allows you to adjust the width of the column? How do you allow this with a gridview?
