C# - How To Insert A Copy Of A Row (with A New Identity) Using LINQ To SQL

Feb 16, 2011

I have a number of tables that together make up a "Test" that somebody can take. There are multiple types (scripts) of Test a person can take. I'm working on an Edit function that will allow somebody to edit the Test Questions. I want these edited questions to show up on all new Tests of that type, but still show the old questions when viewing past test scores.

To do this each "Test" has a TestId auto-increment identity (along with its name). When a test is edited I want to make a copy of the test with a new TestId and present the questions for editing.

So what is the best way to make the copy and insert it into my table using LINQ to SQL? This:

DataContext db = new DataContext(ConnectionString);
//Copy old test into identical new test but with a different script ID
var oldScript = db.TestScripts.Single(ds => ds.TestScriptId == oldScriptID);
var newScript = oldScript;
db.TestScripts.InsertOnSubmit(newScript);
db.SubmitChanges();

of course tells me that I Cannot add an entity that already exists.

Is the only way to do this to go through every column in the TestScript and copy it manually, then insert it, and the database will give it a new Id?

DataSource Controls :: Retrieve The Identity Value After Insert?

Jan 21, 2010

I have been searching on here for many hours and read many posts but for some reason I am being slow and cannot figure this out. I am writing a record and need to get the identity field back. I have tried many combinations based on what I have read but the below code is where I am sitting at now. it has appdatasource.ExecuteScalar() underlined and the error says 'ExecuteScalar' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.SQLDataSource'. I would be very grateful if someone could point out what I am missing to get this to work.

Protected Sub SubmitApp_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SubmitApp.Click

Dim appdatasource As New SqlDataSource
appdatasource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1").ToString
appdatasource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
appdatasource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO APPLICATION (FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,AcceptTerms,IPv4Address,DateInserted) VALUES (@FirstName,@MiddleName,@LastName,@IPv4Address,@DateInserted);select @@SCOPE_IDENTITY"
appdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("FirstName", fname.Text)
appdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("MiddleName", minit.Text)
appdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("LastName", lname.Text)
appdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("DateInserted", DateTime.Now())
appdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("IPv4Address", Request.UserHostAddress.ToString)
Dim appid As Integer = appdatasource.ExecuteScalar()

DataSource Controls :: How To Get The Current Identity Number When Doing Insert

May 20, 2010

The scenario is that I wanna insert a record to the database via INSERT query and I need to user the identity number of this record in the INSERT query.

But I don't know how to achieve this.

Here is my table structure and code for your better understanding.

There are three columns in the Table: categoryID, categoryName, categoryPath. I need the path based on the categoryID which is an identity int column.

Now I used this code to do INSERT:

VS 2012 Formview Control - Insert And Return Identity

Jun 5, 2013

I want to know if it's possible to return the identity value after an insert working with just the insertCommand and the insert parameters - something like this (but this isn't working):

Code:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlCustomerInformation" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SloanLEDLightingSystemsQuoteToolConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT quoteCustomerInformationId,contactname FROM QuoteCustomerInformation order by quoteCustomerInformationId"

[Code] ....

Not sure what's wrong with my code. Should I be doing this in the code behind? I'm also confused as to how I would then retrieve the identity value in the code behind - on iteminserted.

DataSource Controls :: Copy Data From One Table And Insert With Extra Values?

Jan 27, 2010

Is there a way to copy a row from one table and insert to another but at the same time insert extra values to destination table?Let's say source table Item has values:

ItemID
ItemType
ItemProducer
ItemModel

Destination table ItemHist:

ItemID
ChangeDate
ChangeReason
ChangedBy
ItemType
ItemProducer
ItemModel

I want to copy row from source table where itemid is 25, insert it into destination table and add extra values: ChangeDate, ChangeReason, ChangedBy. I tried:

INSERT INTO ItemHist (ItemID, ChangeDate, ChangeReason, ChangedBy, ItemType, ItemModel) VALUES (ItemHist.ChangeDate=GetDate(), ItemHist.ChangeReason="why not", ItemHist.ChangedBy="me")
SELECT ItemID, ItemType, ItemProducer, ItemModel FROM Item WHERE ItemId=25

but obviously it didn't work ("The name 'ChangeDate' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted.").

Forms Data Controls :: How To Access The Returned Identity From A DetailsView "Insert"

Mar 4, 2010

I am trying to use a DetailsView to enter a new row into my database, but need to enter a further row in a linked table at the same time.

I am able to use the "iteminserted" event to gain control after the event has completed, but I need the key to the row i just inserted into the main table.

I am using a dataset, so the insert is managed by a tableadapter which has been configured to return an integer with the newly created identity of the row i just inserted.

Does anyone know how I can get access to that identity? is it in the "e" object of iteminserted? how do i find that if it is?

Here is the VB CodeBehind I am using to insert the row in the linked table (the DetailsView has just inserted a row into the "Books" table and the database has just assigned it an identity which should have been returned to somewhere by the tableadapter. I need that identity as a key to the "BookAuthors" table):

[Code]....

This is the ASP code for the DetailsView and the DataSource:

And here is the code for the tableadapter i am using

Forms Data Controls :: Error When Inserting Into Table - Cannot Insert Explicit Value For Identity Column In Table

Aug 11, 2010

I am working on a web app for an online photo album. It is the last project in Scott Mitchell's book: "ASP.Net 2.0 in 24 hours".

I am creating a page where users can enter new photo images. The functionality for uploading an image will come later. I am working on just inserting a new row into the Pictures table with an optional category, a required title and a required description.

I am getting an error when I try to insert a new row.

Here is a screenshot of the page with a shot of the dropdown list.

The Categories are user-specific. I am getting the correct values retrieved.

[URL]

There are two pretty simple database tables involved here.

NOTE: The CategoryID and PIctureID are both autoincrement integer columns.

[URL]

The page uses a DetailsView that uses a SqlDataSource that uses the Pictures table. (The DetailsView's Default Mode property is set to "Insert". The "Enable Inserting" checkbox is also checked.)

The dropdown list uses a dropdown control that uses a SqlDataSource that uses the Categories table.

When the "Insert" button is clicked the CategoryID value associated with selected (Category) Name on the dropdown list will be used along with the Title and Description values to insert a row in to the Pictures table. (If no Category value is selected, then a null value will be used for the CategoryID. This is OK because the CategoryID column in the Pictures table allows nulls.)

My problem is that I am getting this error:

Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Pictures' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

(FYI: I have the full version of both Visual Studio and SQL Server.)

Here is my source code for the page:

DataSource Controls :: Sqldatasource Insert Method - Copy Data To The Other Datasource By Selecting Checkbox

i have two sqldatasource controls. one i use to display data in textbox's ,filter'd by a select parameter in page behind code. Once checked, i want to copy this data to the other datasource ,by selecting checkbox.Then display this data in detailsview control.

At present the two datasource controls declared , render data to the page simultaneously during pageload. I want to first check data in textbox's from first source, before second datasource is rendered to screen. note, both are filtered by a page variable. i wish to leave the textbox datasource control in situ, as other controls and code depend on it.The other detailsview datasource is my problem?
