I would like to check and see if a record exists before doing an insert. Here is the code I have tried:
[Code]....
I want to check if the record is already exists before insert using Ajax ActionLink in Create View. I am getting error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' Here is a code in View :
<div class="editor-label">
<%= Html.LabelFor(model => model.PolicyId) %>
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.PolicyId) %>
<%= Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.PolicyId) %>
<em>can not be changed later.</em>
//error occurs here
<%= Ajax.ActionLink("Check", "CheckIfExists", "Life", new { PolicyId = Model.PolicyId }, null)%>
</div>
And Controller action :
public JavaScriptResult CheckIfExists(string PolicyId)
{
if (lifeRepository.IsExists(PolicyId))
return JavaScript("alert(' Already Exists');");
else
return JavaScript("alert(' Not Exists');");
}
I am very new to this and have watched a lot of the videos. While trying out VWD2010 and SQL2008 Express, I come across many things, I just don't know how to do. Here is the latest:
I have a Table
UserId - Int - AutoIncrement
FirstName - Var(10)
LastName - Var(10)
I also have an ASP web page that allow the user to enter a first name and last name. It also has a button to submit. What I would like to do is have a Select statement check to see if the name already exists, then send a comment back to the user via a label. If it doesn't exist, then I would like to Insert the info and then again inform the user via label.
SelectCommand="SELECT COUNT (UserId) FROM Users WHERE ((FirstName=@FirstName) and (LastName=@LastName))"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO User(LastName, FirstName) VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName)"
<InsertParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbFirstName" Name="FirstName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbLastName" Name="LastName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
</InsertParameters>
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbFirstName" Name="FirstName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbLastName" Name="LastName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
On the code behind, I get lost. (Obviously this doesn't work, but I don't know how to go about getting a results back. Protected Sub bSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bSubmit.Click
SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty)
(get a return)
(check return value, if <>0 then
lblResults.Text = "exists!"
else
SqlDataSource1.Insert()
lblResults.Text="added!"
end if)
End Sub
Is there any benefit (performance wise) to check if a record exists before updating it or do I just go straight in with an UPDATE WHERE?
View 2 RepliesI tried to illustrate the problem by providing the following instructions, unfortunately the data was deleted and the example failed. It is now working. I have been working through one of Scott Mitchells ASP.NET Application Tutorials Title "Using TemplateFields in the GridView Control"
The URL is ...
The example demonstrates a temporary field being used in different ways, one of which involves dates in a Calender. If the HireDate in the example is deleted or not available the program fails. Providing the date is a valid date it works fine....
I have a SQL database that creates a record for every document uploaded by the user to the server. I want to check this table before a user uploads a document to ensure they don't upload a file with name that already exists.
I know how to make the connection and make the SqlCommand to query the table for an existing record. But I don't know how to check the record count from the sqlCommand I made.
Does that make sense?
Using myConnectionCheck As New SqlConnection(myConnectionStringCheck)
Dim myCommandCheck As New SqlCommand()
myCommandCheck.Connection = myConnectionCheck
myCommandCheck.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Req_Docs WHERE Doc_Name =" & DocName
myConnectionCheck.Open()
myCommandCheck.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
Just have a problem, I want people to join a mailing list, I just have a textbox and button. When a user enter's their email address, the address and time are inserted into a database. However, if the same email is added again I would like for a message to appear saying the record already exists.
Can someone show me how to do this, here is my current code:

View 2 RepliesI have a asp:Button and asp:Textbox on Default.aspx page
Code is as below:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Save" Width="80px" CommandName="Update"
OnClientClick="EnableDdlCompany();saveButtonClick();" CommandArgument="Save" OnClick="btnSave_Click"/>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBarcodeNumber" runat="server" MaxLength="11" Width="230px"
Text='<%# Bind("BarcodeNo") %>' Display="None"
OnTextChanged="TextChanged" AutoPostBack="true"></asp:TextBox>
On button click, I want to call a javascript code to check that If the entered BarCode Number in Textbox already exist in Database, then show an alert "Number already exist" else allow user to save and navigate to Default2.aspx
I can able to do the same checking on TextBox OnTextChanged event using c# code, as below:
protected void TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
TextBox txtbarcode = fvIPRForm.FindControl("txtbarcodenumber") as TextBox;
if (txtbarcode.Text.Length > 0 && txtbarcode.Text.Length < 11) {
string error = "The Barcode Number " + txtbarcode.Text + " is invalid, the barcode length must be 11 character.";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(string), "Successful", "alert('" + error + "');", true);
[Code] ....
Here, IPRRequest is the class/.dll file name and IsValidBarcodeTest is a function defined in the class file
But same checking I tried using the c# code on button's OnClick="btnSave_Click" event, but dont know why this event is not firing, I guess due to CommandArgument on button, but I am not sure.
That's why I want to achieve it using Javascript.

I'm looking for a hand with:
When inserting, i would like to check if the record exists in the table, then if it doesn't, insert it, else either redirecting to a different page, or showing a message box saying "Record already exists" ...
I would like to check if a particular value already exist in the database Gidview row. If the value already exist, tell the user that he has already entered the record and don't save. otherwise save the record. In my case I want to check the "Random number".
<asp:TextBox ID="txtRandomNumber" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
Maybe it could be done with a foreach loop statement.
When processing many records starting from 10,000 System.OutOfMemoryExceptio get the error. There would be some way to handle this type of memory error ?.

I need a way of doing the following:
I receive data in .csv format. I have a some records on a table, so what I need to do is to check if the data I receive exist on the table of records that I need to match against.
If the record exist, then an email/sms should be sent to notify me that the records has been matched and then that record should be flaged that it has been tested so that I don't test it again as the incoming data are saved.
I'd like to use a simple switch to display one image or another but I need a way to find out if the image exists.
If FILEEXISTS("pathtojpg") Then
'Display jpg
Else
'Display "no_image_yet.jpg"

I want to be able to check if a value exists before inserting a new record in the table. I am taking a nvchar value from a textbox and want to compare it to existing values in the table. My codebehind is:

It is also important to filter down by CompanyID which is held in a Profile table. So the value can be equal in records where the CompanyID does not equal the loggedin Profile.CompanyID. So a user with a CompanyID of 2 can have a value in the table for SubType as "laptop" but a user with CompanyID of 3 can still enter "laptop" if there is no match for "laptop" and companyId = 3.
Trying to check if an insert of a new record into an SQL table is happening successfully. I can see that the insert is occuring OK but am not getting the verification to happen.
I'm a little new to C#, I'm thinking it may be in the syntax I'm using in my method in the .cs file line 45. Can't seem to fix it right though.

I am developing a website in ASP.NET with SQL SERVER as backend.
I want to find the best(FASTEST) way by which I can find if USERNAME exists or not.
My application is taking a bit of time finding that out. Do I need to look into my TABLE structure,indexes.
Is there any replacement for the query
Select username from usermaster where username=@Username
Banging my head with this one...
I have a SQL query that pulls data for charting based on a per month basis. The month range is dynamic and selected from the front end. My issue is when no data for a month within the month range is present, that month is skipped. Is there a way/method to have the query give a 0 value for the columns when no data for that month exists? Below is my current query
