DataSource Controls :: Display Varchar Values In Descending Order Like MM-YY Format
Jan 25, 2010
I have a column of type varchar that lists the values in this format:
SEP-09
SEP-08
OCT-09
OCT-08
NOV-09
NOV-08
MAY-09
MAR-09
JUN-09
JUL-09
JAN-10
JAN-09
I need to sort this list by descending order treated as actual date. I tried converting it to date and then tried to extract the year and month out but I keep receiving conversion errors. Does anyone know how to get this in the descending order to it shows up like this:
JAN-10
NOV-09
OCT-09
SEP-09
JUL-09
NOV-08
OCT-08
SEP-08
JUN-09
MAY-09
MAR-09
JAN-09
This is the closest I got but it keeps sorting the list alphabetically:
select distinct periodname, Convert(varchar,periodname,112) from periodtableorder by Convert(varchar,periodname,112) desc

I have a stored proc which returns months year in nice words, but having problem ordering them:
SELECT count(id) as counter, datename(MONTH, PublishDate) + ' ' + datename(YEAR, PublishDate) as date
from BLG_BlogPost where active=1 group by datename(MONTH, PublishDate) + ' ' + datename(YEAR, PublishDate)
And that returns:
April 2009 (8)
August 2009 (3)
February 2009 (2)
How can i order them?

I need to retrieve and display directory files in descending order. For example:
file-02_01_2010.txt should display before file-01_01_2010.
I am using DirectoryInfo.getfile(searchPattern) but that will return files in random order (or maybe ascending order, I am not sure). Is there a way to specify the order in which I need files to be returned? I know I can load them into an array, sort them, etc., etc., but is there any cleaner way?

I want to write a LINQ to Entity query which does order by ascending or descending based on input parameter, Is there any way for that. Following is the my code.
public List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> GetPendingApproval(SortOrder sortOrder)
{
List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> returnList = new List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
int pendingStateId = Convert.ToInt32(State.Pending);
//If the sort order is ascending
if (sortOrder == SortOrder.ASC)
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.ActiveStatusID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName ascending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;
}
else
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.StateID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName descending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;
}
}

I am using dropdownlist to select whether the gridview should be filled by data arranged in ascending order or descending order with Gridview Paging. The problem i am encountering is that when i fill the data in ascending order it works fine but when i arrange the data in descending order the first page loads fine but the other pages are not filled properly in paging.

I have a little problem developing a SQL Select Statement on a column that is formatted pretty badly. Firstly, the Database has already been created and filled with Data in a Test Environment, I'm not sure if the format is the same or has been updated in Production but since I'm only able to work with the Test Environment right now I'm stuck with using what I have. The Column in one Table shows a Snapshot of a clients account which is set to VarChar(50) but the actual data in the column is formatted like a money format (with a $ and decimal point so for example "$5,000.00" would be an entry in one Row).
What I'm trying to do is a create a WebService that will be used in a iPhone Application and one of the Methods needs to just give a quick display of the total value of all Clients with each specific company but I can't perform a SUM function on a VarChar column and I've tried to CAST and CONVERT the column into money, int, decimal and just about every format I can think of but I keep getting an error stating that I convert the data type varchar to which ever one I'm trying. I think it has something to do with the $ already listed in the Column, so I wanted to know what I could do to either remove the $ sign (like a Trim option) or if there is a better way of doing this that I can't think of. I know the best option would be to convert the column to the appropriate format but as I said, this was a previously designed system and I'm not sure if the Production area is the same (most likely not).
Here's what I've tried so far:

i want to convert all my database columns whose data type is char,varchar, nchar to nvarchar datatype. But the main problem is that some of my primary key, foreign key columns are also of varchar datatype. So when i try to change their datatypes to nvarchar then i receive the errors related to constraints of Primary Key, Unique Key and indexes. how to change the datatypes to nvarchar after droping the constraints and after changing all constraints will apply again. I also want that no data loss will occur.

to provide a link to documents held in directory so directory contains [URL] or [URL] Agenda contains

I want to retrieve the full SQL that my Web Application generates and executes on the database. So when the INSERTED or UPDATED events are triggered on the SqlDataSource, I want to get that particular SQL Statement.
The problem I've got there though is when I use "e.Command.CommandText" that gets the SQL statement with the paramter names NOT the paramter values. I specifically need the values.
So... how can I get it to display the full SQL statement containing submitted values!?

I have an output parameter called '@packIds', that I create in ADO.Net using the code below:
SqlParameter packIdPara = new SqlParameter("@packIds", null);
packIdPara.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar;
packIdPara.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(packIdPara);
How will I specify that the parameter '@packIds' is of max size? I cannot find any code for this.
