DataSource Controls :: How To Get The Primary Key Of The Newly Inserted Record
May 10, 2010
I am using a FormView to populate data, then inserting it using a LinqDataSource. The primary key is an autoincrementing identity. I'd like to handle the ItemInserted event to update some other tables, but I cannot find how to get the primary key of the newly inserted record. The insert happens fine, but nothing for the PK.
I realize I can change to using a SPROC, or change to creating the new row and doing the insert myself, but I'd prefer to continue with the LinqDataSource's automatic insert.
after a DetailsView (DV) 'Insert' (triggered by a DropDownList (DDL)) the DV shows the first record (in the DDL)!Are there VS2008 means to keep / show the just entered data - again ready with the command row "Edit/Delete/New" enabling me to e.g. "Edit" the just entered data?This DDL/DV scenario works just fine but to show my just entered record I have to leave this page and start calling this .aspx page again in order to see the name in the DDL and, hence, in the DV.I.e. I'm looking for a kind of automatic 'postback' bringing my just entered data back
I thought this would be easy before I started, but I should've known better.
I just need to get the value of primarykey from the newly inserted record so I can pass it in the query string to the next page the user will be directed to.
Here's my code:

I had found what looked like a good soultion yesterday by the moderator "ecbruck" at this post:
[URL], but after spending many hours trying to figure out why I couldn't get it translated and working in my own project, I found that MS Access does not allow use of an Output Paramter. And unfortunately I don't have time to teach myself a new database platfrom and am stuck with MS Access for the moment...teaching myself asp.net has my head spining enough as it is.
I need to insert two rows into a tableadapter - and then take the identity column from each row and update them into a column on each row.
My problem is that I cannot update a column on a newly inserted row. Stepping through the code seems to indicate that I have updated the column, but when I check the database - the column indicates null.
I have tried calling Update on the TableAdapter, then performing the update on the column, and then calling Update again, but the update still isn't taking.
I have an SQL Server table named "Fields" with an autoincrement identity column "FieldID" as the primary key, an nchar column "Phrase" that textbox entries are to be stored in from a web page, and another column that is defaulted to null. The following is the recommended example on how to use Scope_Identity() to get a newly inserted table row identity value:
//C# string query = "Insert Into Categories (CategoryName) Values (@CategoryName);" + "Select Scope_Identity()"; int ID; string connect = @"Server=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Northwind.mdf;" + "Database=Northwind;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"; using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connect)) { using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn)) { cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CategoryName", Category.Text); conn.Open(); ID = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); } }
Obviously, this example uses a Categories Table in a Northwind database, which I do not have. So I am confused by how to adapt this example for my application. The following is my data context:
DataClassesDataContext db = new DataClassesDataContext();
Could you explain how I can adapt the example for my "Fields" table in my "EFMDB" database?
I am using an auto-numbering index column as the primary key for many of my tables. Is there any way for me to know what the new row count is for newly inserted rows?
I'm inserting data into a database with Linq to SQL and would like to access the primary key of that record WITHOUT doing a query for the values I've already captured.
Here is my insert startment:
[Code]....
There is a value in the table that is an auto increment integer.
Rather than doing a query for the pagetitle, description and content I'd like to just access the primary key that I would have just generated by performing the insert.
Is this possible or would I have to perform the query as I've just mentioned to retrieve it?
I am creating an album using the following stored procedure, which returns the primary key for the newly created record:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[fpa_sp_albums_update_insert] @album_id int, @album_name nvarchar (50), @album_descr nvarchar(250), @album_img_cover_id_FK int, @album_creation_date date AS If @album_id > 0 UPDATE [fpa_albums] SET album_name=@album_name, album_descr= @album_descr, album_img_cover_id_FK = @album_img_cover_id_FK, album_creation_date = @album_creation_date Where ((album_id = @album_id)) Else INSERT INTO [fpa_albums] ( album_name, album_descr, album_img_cover_id_FK, album_creation_date) VALUES ( @album_name, @album_descr, @album_img_cover_id_FK, @album_creation_date) Return SCOPE_IDENTITY();
I execute the above stored procedure using the SQLHELPER. The VB.NET code for the page is as follows:
[Code]....
However, the createdAlbumID always shows -1 instead of the id for the newly created album.
i cannot retrieve the new identity value from an inserted record(via DataAdapter.Update) in my DataRow.
I'm using a strong typed Dataset as DAL. The table i want to update is joinded with other tables in the SelectCommand, hence the designer cannot automatically generate the insert-/update-/delete-commands and also it cannot "Refresh the DataTable" automatically. [URL]
I've tried to set AutoIncrement=true/false on the primary-key's DataColumn but the result is the same: last MAX-ID+1 instead of the actual ID the database generated(SQL-Server 2005 EP; pk datatype:int, Is identity:yes, Identity Increment:1).
This will be the wrong value f.e if another instance of the application inserted a record that the first instance yet not knows and therefore generates an ID that already exists.
To retrieve the new identity from db i've appended following to my insert-command's CommandText:
;SELECT CAST (SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS int) AS newIdRMA
Also i've tried to add an Output-Parameter to it's parameter-collection:
This is part of my code that updates the database and sets the new ID(that doesn't work):
I followed this BRILLIANT article and found out how to make a data layer, i just need the insert method in this code to return the ID of the record inserted.
For example, when the user captures the details, the save button is clicked, i will want to display in a label "Your Reference Number is "
try and have look at the article so you will understand how the code is, so it will not be hard to edit my code.
how can i retrieve the all foreign keys against a single primary key. i mean to say that if a table contain a primary key then it becomes as foreign keys in which tables.
i want to take that nam of that tables and on the base of that tables then i am to delete from all the entries. e.g: if a primary key's column entry deleted then all foreing key entries should also be deleted.
there are 988 tables in a single database. it can't be possible to go for each table to setup foreign key to ON DELETE CASCADE.
.can it have any way to delete against foreign key priority wise? mean to say that parent table contain primary key, child table contain foreign key , now there is another child table which dependent previous child table. then how can i delete all record against it?
i want to do it from programatically. i am using sql server 2005
i have completed this till to that , it retrieves all foreign keys but how to delete now on the base of priority.
I setup my gridview to handle the edit,delete, and insert operations correctly. My grid also supports paging and sorting. My question is how to highlight and go to the newly inserted row in my grid?

I have a repeater control and a text box, and likewise a button to post data to database.after i insert the data to the database in thwe click event of the button, the datalist will not update the displayed content. at the end of the button's click even, i added the code line:
 Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl)
But still, the datalist will not update automatically. What do I do next?
I am currently binding my Detailsview and Gridview together by a "ID" field selectedvalue "1". Which works great except for the fact that I don't want the user to have to go down to the gridview and select the page and then the record to view it in the detailsview.
I have 1 sqldatasource for detailsview and another sqldatasoure for the gridview. Both have the exact same select statement.
I want the gridview and detailsview to automatically display the last record inserted not the first record in the table.
This would seem to be quite a trivial task, however I am having trouble retrieving the identity of the record inserted using the detailsview.insert() in the code behind. It would seem that detailsview.DataKey.Value would contain this value, but it is null after the insert is performed.
I have a DetailsView using a LinqDataSource. I have it connected to DropDown so the user can select a record to edit. This configuration works. However when I add a record after I enter the data and press insert link the DetailsView reverts to another record. How can I make the DetailsView stay on the newly added record?
I have written code for displaying an alert when a record has been successfully inserted.....but it is not displaying the messagebox...i dont know what is the error
Here's a simple code snippet where I create a new Entity object and call SaveChanges() to create a new record in the mapped database table.
[Code]....
What I'm trying to figure out is whether there is a way to derive this new key for my entity, e, from the ObjectContext, m? The reason for this is that the way my actual code is structured, my entity object is already out of scope at the point where I call the SaveChanges() method.
I have a FileSystem based asp.net 2.0 app that uses Sql Server 2005 Express database.
I have only one dataset for this app with only 4 tables. After i have completed it to a part, a co-worker have added some Classes to it, which are not in same namespace of myBLL classes.
Then i tried added a new table to the dataset. It like all other tables in that dataset uses SQL Statements to access and manage data.
The problem started after i added that new table. I cannot access it from code. I can access all previous TableAdapters but not this new one.
