I have a column in my table that is named 'startDateTime' and 'endDateTime'. I need to select all the rows where current time stamp is in between the startdatetime and enddatetime. Note that the datatype is smalldatetime. How to do this?
View 1 RepliesI have a column (data type timestamp) in SQL Server 2008.Now I want to show this timestamp value in ASP.Net C# app as string. Is there any way to do that?I tried it using regular data fetching in ASP.Net but it produced System.byte[] as output rather than actual value. In SQL Server Management Studio values are represented as 0x000000000000B3C0

View 2 RepliesI touched on this last year sometime, but I was frustrated at the time and might not have made much sense. I'd like to try again to see if I can get some constructive advice. I am having an issue in choosing a persistence engine. My first choice is FluentNHibernate / NHibernate. However, I am having severe difficulties with their criterion and projection mechanisms. Searching for examples is difficult and when I do find something, I really don't understand what I'm looking at. After a year of trying to bring this together, it still eludes me. I know I could just ask here for help with certain things, but you guys have more things to do than sit and teach me nhibernate criterion. My second choice is Entity Framework 4. I am leaving the CTP 5 off the list for now as there is a major bug in how self-referencing tables are handled at the moment. Now, I have two sub-choices here. The first involves using code first by turning off code generation in the designer and place my enities and edmx in separate libraries (.Domain and .Persistence.Mapping) but this involves a bit of extra work. Then again, for simplicities sake, I could just dump the edmx designer right in the domain library. But this means having the mapping info in the domain library. Not ideal, but it'd work. I still retain the ability to map collections, references and properties as protected or private, and add logic-checking accessors to the entities, as well as setting a protected and public constructor. The entities would still be strong, valid business entities. With these points in mind, what direction should I head?

View 4 RepliesI was following a MSDN walkthrough [URL] which is a very simple ASP.NET example with Visual Studio 2010:
·
I have a simple database table with a timestamp column;
·
I created a "Linq to SQL Class", and drag the table from Server Explorer onto it;
·
I dragged a LinqDataSource onto the web page and pointed it to the dbml;
·
I dragged a DetailsView onto the web page using the LinqDataSource.
·
I enabled editing on the data source.
When I run, the time stamp column is also displayed on the DetailsView as something like "AAAAAAAAB9Y=". Then, when I change the "EmployeeName" and update, I got following exception: Failed to set one or more properties on type person. Cannot convert value of parameter 'tstamp' from 'System.String' to 'System.Data.Linq.Binary'. I was strictly following the MSDN walkthrough. I tried multiple times, I even installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta. But it consistently through this exception. Can someone shed some light on this? Not a encouraging start form someone thinking to learn the lastest Microsoft stuff!

I'm making a simple forum using MySQL and I use a repeater to display a list of all threads in it. I have two tables for posts, one for threads and one for replies, and I want to sort the threads by either when they were posted or when the last reply was posted in it. My SQL query is really long and hard to read so here's some psuedo code similar to it (easier to understand these column names, etc):
SELECT
threads.id,
threads.title,
threads.timestamp,
users.username,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM replies WHERE thread_id = threads.id) AS number_of_replies,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM views WHERE thread_id = threads.id) AS number_of_views,
(SELECT timestamp FROM replies WHERE thread_id = threads.id ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1) AS last_reply_timestamp
FROM threads
LEFT JOIN users
ON threads.user_id = users.id
ORDER BY ************** DESC
What I do here is I fetch the values id, title, timestamp, the author's username, the number of replies and views for a specific thread, and I also get the timestamp for the last reply to this thread.
Then, what I want to do is sort the whole list so that the threads are displayed in an order matching when either it was posted or the last reply was posted in it (you know, like a normal forum) but I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
I tried this:
ORDER BY CASE WHEN last_reply_timestamp > threads.timestamp THEN last_reply_timestamp ELSE threads.timestamp END DESC
but that, I guess, maybe only looks at the first row and determines which one should be used so the order is not correct.
I'm not sure if it's possible to create a sort of variable that holds the value for each row of the timestamp that applies, if that's possible you could sort by that. For example:
(CASE WHEN last_reply_timestamp > threads.timestamp THEN last_reply_timestamp ELSE threads.timestamp END) AS last_activity_timestamp
...
ORDER BY last_activity_timestamp DESC
So each row has a field "last_activity_timestamp" containing either timestamp, whichever is the later than the other.
Can this be done somehow? How does everyone else solve this? It's so hard to search google because I just get lots of forums but no code.
I have a question about lists. So let say i have a list with 2000 objects, object has a text and a timestamp. So i want to return the list and i wan to only show text which timestamp is > or < then datetime.now, that is example, yeah, so how should i do it better, faster? Ofc i can make another newList and then just circle tru the list and add to newly created list(newList) the items that i want to show, comparing the items timestamp, but it might take too much time and resources, is there an easier way? Cuz that list with 2000 objects can become bigger after some time.

Does anyone knows why HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath within a server control works when I run the server control but gives and error whilst in Design mode?
View 2 RepliesI added a column of type "timestamp" to a table in SQL Server to use for concurrency control. I deleted all my tables from the Linq surface and then added them back. I see that the "Time Stamp" attribute is set to True for the timestamp column and False for all the other columns. I also see that the "Update Check" attribute is set to Never for all columns, including the timestamp column.
After watching some demo videos and reading some tutorials, I had expected to have to manually set the "Update Check" attribute values on the columns - to Never for all columns but the timestamnp column where it should be set to Always. But, before setting the "Update Check" to Always on the timestamp column, I decided to test it the way it was, and Linq seems to be doing the right thing - it seems to be using the timestamp column for concurrency control correctly even with "Update Check" set to Never on the timestamp column.
So my question is - does the fact that "Time Stamp" is set to True trump the "Update Check"? Or is there any other reason one could or should set "Update Check" to Always on a timestamp column? Is there any change in behavior?
I have a Timestamp column in my Table. I want to read the date time value and display in UI.
In Linq the Timestamp column is represented as System.Data.Linq.Binary.
I dont know how to retirve date time value in "MM-dd-YYYY" format from this Linq.Binary
- Why I am using Timestamp?.
I want to perform some operations based on the last modified date time of the particular row. Since I am using TimeStamp column in my Table as version column, It will contain the last modified date details, So i want to read the date time value from this time stamp column to do some other operations.
This problem is trivial to duplicate. Do any query on a table which contains a timestamp / rowversion column. Set a breakpoint and examine the resulting query in the Linq to SQL visualizer. Click on Execute which displays the results in a DataGridView. For each row you get "System Argument Exception: Parameter is not valid" when it tries to display the timestamp / rowversion in the grid. What is most annoying is that there is no way to get out of the visualizer without going to Task Manager and killing the Visual Studio process, devenv.exe.
This is definitely a bug. How can you presume to be able to display a database query when you can't display an essential datatype like timestamp / rowversion? Is there any way around this ? I would like to add that in general the CLR is woefully inadequate in the way it handles timestamp / rowversion fields. It would be nice if they could be defined, copied, compared, displayed and serialized in some standardized automatic way.
I have a SQL table containing a timestamp column. This table is displayed in ASP using GridView control. The timestamp column is indicated in the DataKeyNames property of the GridView. I'm using TemplateFields for all columns and a ItemTemplate HiddenField control connected to the timestamp column using Eval.
<asp:TemplateField
ItemStyle-Wrap="false"
Visible="false"
HeaderText="timestamp"
SortExpression="timestamp">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField
ID="gv_hid_timestamp"
runat="server"
Value='<%#
Eval("timestamp") %>'
></asp:HiddenField>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
The data is displayed properly. I'm trying implement the optimistic concurrency in C# using the value of above mentioned timestamp and a stored procedure. The SQL stored procedure expects the @timestamp as varbinary(8). I'm not sure how to pass the value of gv_hid_timestamp back to the stored procedure. I'm using the following:
command.Parameters.Add("@timestamp", SqlDbType.Binary).Value = Byte.Parse(((HiddenField)gv.Rows[row].FindControl("gv_hid_timestamp")).Value);
resulting in the following error: "Input string was not in correct format." (I also tried different data types but with similar result). I want to be able to pass this parameter programmatically from C# and not have to specify it on the UpdateParameters list.
My web application is hosted on a loadbalanced and whenever the requests are routed to one of them(say Server B), the request fails. Now I want to redirect my requests to the working server (Server A) which always works.

How can I do this. Do I need to create a new HttpContext Object ?
I have some code that works fine when I need to delete some image files from a directory on my web server:
Dim ImageURL As String = dsImages.Tables(0).Rows(iImgRow).Item("ImageURL")
Dim physicalName = Server.MapPath(ImageURL)
oUpload.DeleteFileFromServer(physicalName, iAdid, iImgID)
.but I am running into a problem when a maintenance task running in a separate thread at set intervals determines that files like the above need to be deleted:
Dim ImageURL As String = dsImage.Tables(0).Rows(i - 1).Item("ImageURL")
Dim iImgID As Integer = dsImage.Tables(0).Rows(i - 1).Item("ImageId")
Dim physicalName As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ImageURL)
oUpload.DeleteFileFromServer(physicalName, iAdID, iImgID)
In this latter case, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ImageURL) has a value of Nothing.Is there a way to get the full path for this case?
