DataSource Controls :: Set Or Reset A Boolean Column In A Data Table?
Mar 20, 2010
I have defined some binary bit columns in an SQL database table to indicate yes/no conditions, but I don't know how to set or reset them. I tried to use "profile.Volunteer = 0;" C# code in an event handler to reset a voluntary state for the Profile table of members, but what I got back was an error message that said, "Constant value '0' cannot be converted to a bool'. So, if a '0' cannot be used to reset a boolean value, what can be used?
Resetting IDENTITY column to a new valueDuring application development we always entry some test data also our tester test with test data and as a result if the table contains IDENTITY columns( specially ID column) which incremented to the number of data already entered.
However, when the application goes running with real data to the client and the client want his ID values from starting 1, then we need to RESEED the value of the IDENTITY column of the table after clearing all data. This can be done as bellows:
DBCC CHECKIDENT (TableName, RESEED, 0)
However, can be reseed with any values instead of zero(0) in the above statement.
I have an identity column that increment by 1 on every insert. I have deleted all the rows using delete query but the identity coulumn is still not reseting to zero, how do i reset it, as it was when the table was first created.
So I have an <asp:Gridview> and in my C# file, I am setting the datasource to some database table, and doing .DataBind().
However, I want to hide a column in the table based on a Boolean variable.
Something like this:
gridview.Columns['Field5'].Visible = false;
Or perhaps:
int c = gridview.Rows.Count(); for(int i = 0; i < c; i++){ gridview.Rows['Field5'].Remove(); }
Perhaps I cannot make it invisible, but I'm sure I can at least loop through and remove all rows related to the column "field5". I don't know how to go about doing this.
Does anyone perhaps have a proper link to using the GridView Class and how all the methods are suppose to be used because it's not clear, perhaps not written by microsoft?
the internet seems to lack a lot of C# documentation (or maybe it's just cluttered with too much useless ASP.net information).
I have a boolean column in a datagrid that I would like to display as red/green image (I have already created these) instead of false/true. Or maybe I could display the "True" in green text and "False" in red text. Can someone point me in the right direction?
In trying to improve 'user experience' with a GridView, I have an administrative application where a GridView is displaying records from a SQL table. One of the columns is a bit column, and is displayed as a checkbox in the GridView. I want the user to be able to simply check or uncheck the box while viewing the GridView, and the value in that column for that record is immediately updated. So I set AutoPostBack="true" on the CheckBox in the GridView's Template Field.
But tests are indicating that the column value is not actually getting changed, even though the page appears to post back and displays the newly checked (or unchecked) checkbox correctly. But if I check the SQL table directly the column's value has not changed.
I attempted to change a table columns data type and in the process caused a lot of issues. I had a date column in one of my tables and stupidly changed it from varchar to date. When I tried to run queries on it I keep getting the 'cant find column 3 error'. Now that tables structure is :
[Code]...
So column 4 is actually the date column. All other queries work for this table. I then tried to change it back and then copied all data to a new table and now I am using the new table and converting the dates as needed but I am still getting the error.
SELECT * FROM postlinks WHERE postlinks.date >= CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(varchar(10),GetDate(),112))
I'm currectly tryin to access a specific value in my database in a specific column. I'm tryin to use the primary key of the table to access the actual value in the row of that ID.
The current code:
[Code]....
Just iterates through the table and looking for any row with the boolean 'checkin' value is True, then it takes the 'id' value of that row and stores it into an array. Is there a way that I can access a another entry, and only that entry, in the table with the 'id' stored in the array?
Like if my data base contained and int, primarykey, `id` value, a boolean, `checkedin` value, and a `time` value, is there a way to access, lets say, the row with `id` equalling 3 and and the checkIn value from that row?
I have tried to query a table with an xml column by using XQuery and I can't get the Select to work.
All my knowledge/understanding of the subject comes from this MSDN article:
[URL]
so I am probably overlooking something minor:
I tried this query Select col1, Phone.Query('element CellPhone {I am not sure about what goes here} I tried {data('Phone/cellPhone} from aTable Where Phone.Exist('/Phone/cellPhone/text()[contains.,"412-8977"]') = 1 This syntax is definitely not fun.
I come across the technique on how to apply a different CSS class to make a row stand out from the others. However, the original code is for gridview whilst I am trying to get it works on a listview. The original code for the gridview is as follows and how to get it done on listview.
I have a datagrid control, the first column is Revno, currently presenting info in linkbutton. i want to do a condition based on another field docid, which gets true or false value from database. if true then present Revno in linkbutton otherwise show the revbnno just as a label., thatway users does'nt have ability to clickit.
<ItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton ID="lblRevision" runat="server" CssClass="Textboxes" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "RevNo")%>' CommandName="FileDownloadRecord"></asp:LinkButton> </ItemTemplate> this docid field has flag true or false. if true meaning show the revno as LinkButton, otherwise show the revno as label. GetDocdetail(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Docid") on the codebehind side i can use this function. Public Function GetDocdetail(ByVal DocID As boolean) As String If DocID = "true" Then Else End If End Function
I want to copy data from a table[tblExcel][No.of columns:2] to another table[ev_event] which has 5 columns, 2 columns from the another table, 3 columns from user defined value
However has anyone ever seen a situation where, when you try to access the value of a column in a DataRow, you get the error "Column... does not belong to table.." when, in fact, it does?
The column name in question is called "ByWeight". I am wondering if either that, or maybe one of my other column names, is a reserved keyword and that's causing/masking this error.
If I look in the locals window and expand the DataRow, one of my columns is DBNull - by that I don't mean that the column value is DBNull, I mean the actual column itself is DBNull so it doesn't expand. I think there's a clue there.
I am able to store the current time of day in a column defined as time with the C# code as:notestable.NoteTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;The hour, minutes, seconds, and even millionth of a second is stored. But now, I need to retrieve the time and convert it into a string. I tried to use DateTime statements to accomplish this as with:
Regarding the 'nt' variable, I got an error message that said: Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.TimeSpan?' to 'System.DateTime'.Regarding the 'Hour' designation, I changed the definition of 'nt' to 'var' and got an error message that said: System.Nullible<System.TimeSpan>' does not contain a definition for 'Hour' and no extension method could be found.So, how do I access the time from a table and convert it into a string for display in a TextBox?
i want to pass null value into varbinary(max) column n to by table
if i do like this i have this function in my app_code .vb class
Public Function Remove_Attachment(ByVal Id As Integer) As Integer Try Dim db As New dbAccess db.commandText = "SP_RemoveAtt_DML" db.commandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure db.addParameter("@InOutVal_Id", Id) db.addParameter("@Document", System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlBinary.Null.Value) db.executeQuery() Catch ex As Exception Throw ex End Try End Function
i got this error. Data is Null. This method or property cannot be called on Null values.
I want to Update Column of a Table where ColumnName will be DropDown.SelectedValue. Example: A set of RECORDS will be displayed from a Customer Table where CUstNo ='1234' and City= 'Chicago' and Grade ='B' Once displayed I want to Update the grade to 'A' of all those customers from the above criteria. In My case I have like 100 Columns, so in where Clause Column Names will be selected from a DropDown. In My Query, Update Customer SET ColumnName= 'some value' where ColumnName ='ActualValue' So how can I pass the ColumnName which is Dropdown Selected Value. I believe I can't give as Update Customer SET DropDown.SelectedValue = 'some value' where DropDown.SelectedValue ='ActualValue' how can I resolve this ?...

I have an SQL table which looks similar to the following:
Title | Author | Tags 'title1' 'author1' 'horror, steven king, clowns' 'title2' 'author2' 'childrens, roald dahl, chocolate'
Let's say I wanted to find the name of a book that has the tag 'clowns' in it...how can I do this? 'clowns' is a substring of the tag for 'title1'...but how do I search for substrings? I have tried to use the "LIKE" keyword but obviously it doesn't work in this situation.

I need to insert a Boolean value into an SQL Server datatable. I'm having a problem with what I'm trying. I don't see the option for a Boolean data type in SQL Server so I used Binary(1). Is this the right data type for storing Boolean in SQL Server?
