IPhone To MS SQL Image Data Type Conversion

Mar 2, 2011

I am currently developing an iPhone app that will work as a security check-in system for events at a church. The main goal is to be able to search a pre existing MS SQL database for a participant, and then save them to a list on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. Easy enough. One of the fields in the MS SQL database is of Image data type, and its function is to store the participant's image in binary form. I currently am not allowed to switch to varbinary(MAX). From the iPhone, I use:

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"nameOfImage.jpg"];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image,1.0);
NSString *imageString = (NSString *)[[[NSString alloc] init] base64StringFromData:(NSData *)imageData];

You may be wondering what the base64StringFromData is. It's a category discussed here, Any base64 library on iphone-sdk? In the category, it returns a string as NSASCIIStringEncoding. I then send that string to a Visual Basic web service using POST. Assume in the following that I have already set up and opened my SQL connection, and initlialized a SQL Data adapter and command. So the function looks similar to this:

Public Function sendCommand(ByVal image As String) As String
Dim commandString As String
commandString = "insert into phoneApp(image) values(@image)"
Dim encoding As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding
sqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand = (commandString, sqlConnection)
sqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(@"image", SqlDbType.Image, image.length).Value = encoding.GetBytes(image)
sqlDataAdapter.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Function

Now, finally, here's what is happening. In another function, I call Response.BinaryWrite(SqlDataReader.Item("image")). In Internet Explorer, doing this would then make the image appear in the browser. Instead, it displays the string in base64 form. Copy and pasting that string in a base64 converter off the net, and it works. So the encoding on the iPhone did encode to base64 properly. Here's the question. Do I even need to be encoding to base64 to save into Image Data Type, or should I be focusing on learning how to encode the NSData into a different binary string?

Forms Data Controls :: Conversion From Type 'TextBox' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid?

Sep 6, 2010

I have a FormView that allows a user to register for a company event. I want to do a couple of things with this form.

1. I need to write this data to a MS SQL database

2. I need to send an email confirmation of their registration to their email.

I know how to do both of these things, but i am having trouble doing both at the same time.

It would be nice if I could do it in one click, but I coded it into two pages to try to help simplify it.

The first page allows the user to input their information into a formview and when they click the submit button, it places those answers into session variables:

[Code]....

[Code]....

The Second page confirms the users information by taking those session variables and placing them into labels:

[Code]....

[Code]....

However, after I place information into the formview on the first page, it throws up this error:

"Conversion from type 'TextBox' to type 'String' is not valid".

DataSource Controls :: Conversion From Type 'DBNull' To Type 'Integer' Is Not Valid?

Jan 22, 2010

I get the error - Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid. - on the line.....

Dim newid As Integer = e.Command.Parameters("@latestRowId").Value.........in vb code behind.

I have the identical code for another page with the exception of the field names and it works fine. The only thing I did differently, as far as I know, is I copied the asp and code behind from the page that works into this page and manually changed the field and table names. I don't know what the problem is. Does anyone see any problems?

MVC :: Getting Error: The Parameter Conversion From Type 'System.String' To Type 'Models.Organization' Failed?

Oct 15, 2010

I seem to be having issues with posting forms with DropDownLists. I've looked all over the net and tried various solutions, but none seem to work for me.

I'm getting the following error: The parameter conversion from type 'System.String' to type 'Models.Organization' failed because no type converter can convert between these types.

Here's my ViewModel:

[Code]....

Here's my controller:

[Code]....

The objects are generated by ADO.NET Entity Framework. Organizations is its own object, but also a property of Profile (each user belongs to one organization). Now I understand what the error message is saying, just not sure how else I'm supposed to do this.

Page1 contains GridView1 which displays info from Table1.GridView1 contains a CommandButton which, when clicked inserts the values of all columns, plus a calculated value which goes into an extra column into Table2 handled in the RowCommand event handler of GridView1.Page2 contains GridView2 which displays info from Table2.GridView2 allows the user to alter the value of one of the columns in Table2 using the standard Edit/Update link.All this worked well until...I added UserId and SessionId fields to Table2 (uniqueidentifier and varchar(MAX) respectively,I added the following code to Page1 Code Behind to insert these values from the RowCommand handler:

All of this works beautifully. But... I then added this code to GridView2's RowUpdating event handler:

SQL Server :: Convert Label.text To Int / Error Conversion Failed When Converting The Nvarchar Value 'Label' To Data Type Int.'?

Jul 14, 2010

I have been messing about with this for hours surely this should be an easy task ....... I have a stored procedured that creates a invoice on a Quotetable one of the parameters is a output parameter Invoice Number this is passed to a label. (Label1) This works great.

I then need to add items to the invoice on a item table so my next stored procedure should take the value of Label1 and update the foreign key quotenumber on the itemtable with the value from label1.

On the aspx page I have a small section for a gridview which shows the current quote with however many items on it using the control

On the ASP page the control for @Quotenumber = Label1 but I get the following error

Conversion From String To Type 'Date' Is Not Valid

Aug 24, 2010

Im receiving a strange error Error Message: Conversion from string "15/08/2010 22:21:35" to type 'Date' is not valid.

I know this is generally down to cultural date formats etc, however the reason this is strange is it just randomly occured twice in the last week, the website has been running since october and nothing has changed,

The error constantly occured until the IIS was reset and recompilled the site, its been running fine since, however im just trying to figure out what could cause such an error to occur.

I've narrowed it down to a line of code which is:

bktime = DReader.Item("Bktime").ToString
bktime = Year(CDate(bktime)) & "-" & fmt(Month(CDate(bktime)), 2) & "-" & fmt(Day(CDate(bktime)), 2)

Has anyone else encountered this randomly occuring and is there anything i can put in place to prevent this in future?
