Reading CSV File With OLEDB Ignores First Line Even With HDR=No In Connection String?
Jan 4, 2011
We're converting a Classic ASP site to an ASP.NET site. One function was to upload a 'template' of data in CSV format for importing into the database. There were several different record types in there (the first field always indentifies the type of data).
The task was to get the CSV into a DataTable so it could be validated (new project is to have MUCH better validation rules)
The code seemed pretty straightforward - watered down (taking out comments, Try/Catch, etc) it is as follows:
Dim da As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim cn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDirectory & ";" & "Extended Properties=""Text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited;""")
Dim cd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM " & strCSVFilename, cn)
cn.Open()
da.SelectCommand = cd
da.Fill(dtData)
The DataTable (dtData) is populated, but only starting with the second line of the CSV file DESPITE the fact that "HDR=No" is in the connection string. What am I missing here?

my ASP.NET application reads an xml file to determine which environment it's currently in (e.g. local, development, production).
It checks this file every single time it opens a connection to the database, in order to know which connection string to grab from the Application Settings.
I'm entering a phase of development where efficiency is becoming a concern. I don't think it's a good idea to have to read a file on a physical disk ever single time I wish to access the database (very often).
I was considering storing the connection string in Application["ConnectionString"].
[code].....
I didn't design the application so I figure there must have been a reason for reading the xml file every time (to change settings while the application runs?) I have very little concept of the inner workings here. What are the pros and cons?

I know this is probably a pretty easy thing to do and it is if I can upload the file and store it onto the hard drive of the server. What I need to do is read the text file into memory and then parse through it one line at a time. Anyone have any code that demonstrates that?

I am trying to read data from excel file in asp.net. I have added the connection string to webConfig file:
<add name="xls" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=HPM_DB.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"/>
But it shows me an errormessage when I run this query:
string query = "Select * from [IO_Definition$]";
IO_Definition is the name of the spreadsheet in my excel file. I also added the excel file to the App_Data folder of the website.
The error is:
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'IO_Definition$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
The thing is, when I write the absolute path of the excel file in the connectionString it does work. Is there anyway I can make it work without writing the absolute path?

I have an input type, so a text box which has a browse button next to it. When it is clicked, the file that is selected has it's full path placed into the text box.
<input type="file" runat="server" id="txtFilename" style="width:400px" />
Where is the event!
Now that I have the path to the file in the textbox of the input type, I want to load each line of this file into a textbox that is able to handle multiline text.
I don't want the file to be uploaded to the website. I just want to contents of the file read and placed in a textbox all with one click on the browse button.

I have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?

I'm using Fluent NHibernate and need to get my Connection String from the connection.connection_string property on hibernate.cfg.xml file to create my Session Factory:
private static ISessionFactory SessionFactory {
get {
return = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MySQLConfiguration.Standard.ConnectionString(c => c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("MyConnStr")))
.Mappings(m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<FooMap>())
.ExposeConfiguration(c => c.Properties.Add("hbm2ddl.keywords", "none"))
.BuildSessionFactory();
}
}
I want to replace MyConnStr (that is in my web.config file) "c => c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("MyConnStr")" for the connection string from the hibernate.cfg.xml file.
I've tried use NHibernate.Cfg.Environment.ConnectionString, but it didn't work.

I am having trouble connecting to a ms sql database on the server. The hosting company said that the .sql file was imported successfully, but when I try to use the 'login' or 'create account' features im getting an error page saying:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.
I am sure all the connection info is correct so it is really frustrating trying to work the problem. I have listed the connection string in my web.config file to see if anyone can see anything wrong with it.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Developer to create a website.
I'm trying to test a connectino to a local database in my computer.
What I did is create a connection string in the webconfig file like this:
[Code]....
Then I want to call that connection string like this in the default.aspx.cs file I write the following code:
[Code]....
I'm not getting any error or warning in any of the code but when I run the page I throws me an error telling me:
The connectionstring property has not been initialized.
If I run with debug on it shows this:
[Code]....
Line 22 in red.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong since VIsual Studio does not tell me there is an error, it just seems like it cannot make the connection.

I have this in the web config file <connectionstrings> section. Why is there an add and then remove and then again an add...what is it trying to accomplish here? and in the second code section, I use that string in a sqldatasource control. Second question: Can I just use the name attribute value "localsqlserver" form web config file, in place of the connection string in the data source? is it why that attribute is for?

I have a web project with a data model defined in an edmx file. The connection string starts like this:
metadata=res://*/;
This has worked fine for a while. But somebody else working on the project created a dll that also uses the entity framework and added it to the bin folder. Now when I try to create my connection there is an error loading the metadata.
Aside from totally changing the way one or both of us is doing things, I wonder if the problem can be fixed if my connection string can be changed to only look for the metadata defined in my edmx file. The problem is, for the life of me I can't find the right syntax to do this. The metadata is embedded in the output assembly, so there are no physical metadata files to point to. How exactly should I specify the metadata location in the connection string?
