I'm trying to learn How to use Databases from a book,it gives me this code to input and it runs fine except it doesn't write any of the lines to the console as it should. I dont get any error messages. I moved some of the code around and the problem seems to be that it stops processing after the conn.Open() method. Anybody know why or how to fix it?
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
namespace Chapter04
{
class SqlServerProvider
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Set up connection string
string connString = @"
server = .\sqlexpress;
integrated security = true;
database = northwind
";
// Set up query string
string sql = @"
select
*
from
employees
";
// Declare connection and data reader variables
SqlConnection conn = null;
SqlDataReader reader = null;
try
{
// Open connection
conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
conn.Open();
// Execute the query
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
// Display output header
Console.WriteLine(
"This program demonstrates the use of "
+ "the SQL Server Data Provider."
);
Console.WriteLine(
"Querying database {0} with query {1}\n"
, conn.Database
, cmd.CommandText
);
Console.WriteLine("First Name\tLast Name\n");
// Process the result set
while(reader.Read()) {
Console.WriteLine(
"{0} | {1}"
, reader["FirstName"].ToString().PadLeft(10)
, reader[1].ToString().PadLeft(10)
);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + e);
}
finally
{
// Close connection
reader.Close();
conn.Close();
}
}
}
}

The code looks fine, how exactly does it stop?
It could be that you are getting time-outs on the connection.

Hello Coders!
appologies if this is in the wrong forum, as it involves C# and XAML. Also, im a noob which cant be helped.
Im attempting to create a viewer application to display information in an XML file.
Whenever i assign data to a class variable, like so:-
PortfolioItem.m_ID = xID.GetAttribute("id")
i get the following error message:-
http://www.klog.co.uk/images/xamlerror.jpg
I have my classes in a separate cs file, and all my coding is being done under the public Window1() method in the windows1.xaml.cs code behind file
any help would be fantastic

All that can be devised from that screenshot is that an error occurred when an instance of Window1 was being created. Check throught the construction code etc for anything that'd throw an exception.
|
|
|
|

This is a typical case where the inner exception is the only source of information.
Can you try again and check the inner exception of the exception? Usually this gives the real error.

Hi,
I am having some confusion of abstract methods and inheriting.
Lets take my example:
abstract class MyClass
{
public abstract void Method1();
public abstract void Method2();
}
class YourClass : MyClass
{
public override void Method1()
{
// Implementation here
}
public override void Method2()
{
// Implementation here
}
}
Everything I understand till the next part:
MyClass mc = new YourClass();
Why I do not understand it is because if YourClass has extra methods, then how can it save that instance in mc?
Please can someone explain this to me in a little more detail?
Regards
ma se

Sure. Classes are reference types. So MyClass mc; only creates "pointer" to MyClass.
new YourClass() creates instance of YourClass somewhere in memory and returns reference (again, think pointer) to to it. It should be clear now that MyClass mc = new YourClass(); does not save instance of YourClass IN mc - it assigns reference to YourClass. That's why it fits.
I am not 100% correct now but you should get the idea.

Adding to that, you can save a reference to a very specialized thing into
a very dumb thing, so it is perfectly OK (but maybe not very useful) to write:
object myThing=new VerySofisticatedFormWithLotsOfFeatures();
unfortunately you can't do much more to myThing than call its ToString() method;
unless you cast it again as in:
VerySofisticatedFormWithLotsOfFeatures aha=
(VerySofisticatedFormWithLotsOfFeatures)myThing;
aha.NowICanShowOfThoseFancyThings();

Hello!
How can I determine at runtime if my .NET is running as a Unicode Windows application?
For example, if I run my application on Windows 98, all the window controls are used in ANSI mode. If run on Windows 2000 and higher, the Unicode versions of the window controls are used. Is there a way to see which version is currently used?
Thanks and best regards

Dear all,
I have the following code :
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
NpgsqlConnection conn = new NpgsqlConnection("Server=192.168.24.24;Port=5432;User Id=postgres;Password=S3cr33t;Database=Database;");<br />
<br />
NpgsqlDataAdapter mySqlDataAdapter = new NpgsqlDataAdapter("Select * from points", conn);<br />
DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();<br />
DataRow myDataRow;<br />
<br />
<br />
NpgsqlCommandBuilder myCommandBuilder = new NpgsqlCommandBuilder(mySqlDataAdapter);<br />
<br />
mySqlDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "points");<br />
myDataRow = myDataSet.Tables["points"].NewRow();<br />
<br />
<br />
myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows.Add(myDataRow);<br />
<br />
foreach (DataRow myDataRow1 in myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows)<br />
{<br />
myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows[0]["track_easting"] = "665544";<br />
}<br />
mySqlDataAdapter.Update(myDataSet, "points");<br />
}
This code 'appears' to run fine. However, if I check back in the database, it has only updated the first row. But I want it to update every single row in the Dataset / Database. So I dreamed up the Foreach statement but I think I'm using it wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction ?
Cheers

Your previous posters point is here!
foreach (DataRow myDataRow1 in myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows)
{
myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows[0]["track_easting"] = "665544";
}
You are iterating through all rows, but only updating the first row(ie Rows[0])
try
foreach (DataRow myDataRow1 in myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows)
{
myDataRow1["track_easting"] = "665544";
}

Sweet .. that is something that I am going to try. Luc ( in the previous reply ) pointed me in exactly the same direction, So after a little bit of tinkering, I came up with this :
for (int x = 0; x < myDataRow.Table.Rows.Count; x++)<br />
{<br />
myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows[x]["track_easting"] = "665544";<br />
}
Is there a significant difference between the two ?
Kind regards,

Sure, readability is much better with foreach, as pprice has shown;
and readability or clarity leads to better maintainability.
Performance wise I dont expect a significant difference.

The main differenc eappears to be your understanding of foreach. In your new version you are using a for each loop which is fine, but for simplicity you could revert to the for each loop
here is my original example
foreach (DataRow myDataRow1 in myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows)
{
myDataRow1["track_easting"] = "665544";
}
Here is your original example
foreach (DataRow myDataRow1 in myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows)
{
myDataSet.Tables["points"].Rows[0]["track_easting"] = "665544";
}
The difference between the two is that I am using the row populated by the foreach statememnt, you are using foreach to iterate through the list, but then calling the update directly on the table.
The foreach command in this case will step through every row in the table returning a reference to the row as myDataRow1, which can be directly altered. The benefit is simply not having to work out how many objects are there etc as per a for loop.
look foreach up, it is useful and as per another previous post, easy to read. whats more it is type safe.
Hope it helps

Could someone point me at the risks of embedding forms from one development invironment into other development environments? For example writing an application in python and embedding it into a windows application or vice versa and the two apps have to communicate with each other.
I have been tasked with writing a windows app with a composite Gui which will have a COM facade and then have it embedded into an Omnis Studio form. For those of you unfamiliar with Omnis Studio think of Visual Studio on acid.
What are the dangers of writing an application in C# then embedding it onto another development platforms form?

I don't know. But the Eiffel guys have done this. You might like to consult them. See:
Full Eiffel on the .NET Framework[^]
About 2/3 of the way down in the section on Eiffel libraries there is a screenshot of a Win Forms datagrid running inside a native EiffelVision window.
It says:
"Particularly interesting is the ability to combine Eiffel mechanisms, such as EiffelVision, with .NET Framework mechanisms, such as Windows Forms. For example, you can embed, in a possibly complex EiffelVision application, an advanced Windows Form control such as a Datagrid providing direct display of a database through ADO.NET. The figure below shows such a Datagrid displayed as part of an EiffelVision window."
Also, can't you do the same with MFC - embed Windows Form in an MFC window? Still, the Eiffel example is interesting in that it illustartes doing this with a non-MS host.

Hi,
I needed to add 80,000 records. I do following, see following pseudo:
1. While(Readline != EOF)
2. Create a row
3. Add the Row to the DataTable (this starts slowing down after 30,000 records, and goes completely blank around 80th,000 record)
3. End While
4. Dump the DataTable in to MS Access database.
Although I am using a background worker thread, but all is in vain.
public void RunThd(object theFile)<br />
{<br />
<br />
Thread thd = new Thread(Go);<br />
<br />
thd.IsBackground = true;<br />
<br />
thd.Start(theFile);
<br />
}
Following code is working OK. Reads the StreamReader, prepares Rows, and dumps the DataTable into the MYTABLE1 table.
void Go(object theFile)<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
StreamReader Reader = (StreamReader)theFile;<br />
<br />
string sqlSelect = "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE1";<br />
<br />
string sqlConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[@"conString"].ConnectionString;<br />
<br />
try<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
DataTable dTable = new DataTable();<br />
<br />
OleDbConnection oleConnection = new OleDbConnection(sqlConnectionString);<br />
<br />
OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlSelect, oleConnection);<br />
<br />
OleDbCommandBuilder cmdBuilder = new OleDbCommandBuilder(oleAdapter);
<br />
oleAdapter.Fill(dTable);<br />
<br />
string strLine = stReader.ReadLine();<br />
<br />
<br />
DataRow thisRow = null;<br />
<br />
while (!Reader.EndOfStream)<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
strLine = stReader.ReadLine();<br />
<br />
<br />
thisRow = dTable.NewRow();<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
thisRow["Col1"] = strLine.Substring(0, 1);<br />
<br />
thisRow["Col2"] = strLine.Substring(1, 11);<br />
<br />
thisRow["Col3"] = strLine.Substring(11, 1);<br />
<br />
dTable.Rows.Add(thisRow);
}<br />
<br />
oleAdapter.AcceptChangesDuringFill = true;<br />
oleAdapter.Fill(dTable);<br />
<br />
oleAdapter.Update(dTable);
<br />
}<br />
<br />
catch (Exception e)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(e.Message);<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}
Problem with the code above:
Performance Issues. The app goes down. System starts getting slow, etc. Although, I am using a Background thread, and not using ExecuteNonQuery() that will make app more slower. All that is going good, is really not so well.
Resolution:
Things that I was thinking are:
1. Dump every 10,000 records, and then refresh the DataTable, then fill next 10,000 and dump into the database, and so on so forth. But how to achieve this, needs a Flood Light to be thrown upon (0:
2. Cannot think of any other option?
Thanks for reading all of it. I'd appreciate ideas, helps, comments, suggestions, codes, pointers, etc. Bottomline, need help resolving the performance issue.

How much memory do you have in your PC that you are running this on? If things are slowing down it seems to me that you are running out of memory. It doesn't really make sense you are having problems since you are only taking 13 bytes of memory for each row. So even at 80,000 records that doesn't take up that much memory.
Here is my idea. First you can try adding some code like dTable.AcceptChanges
after the Add rows line.
If that doesn't help you could try a totally different approach. The basic xml of a dataset is:
<newdataset>
<dTable>
<column1>1</column1>
<column2>1234567890</column2>
<column3>1</column3>
</dTable>
<dTable>
<column1>2</column1>
<column2>2345678901</column2>
<column3>2</column3>
</dTable>
<dTable>
<column1>3</column1>
<column2>3456789012</column2>
<column3>3</column3>
</dTable>
</newdataset>
If you wrote out a file and saved it, you could then load a dataset with that data. Of course if you have a memory issue, that is not a long of memory this is going to take more memory then your other solution.
If you saved this file you can load it into a dataset, so the code would be something like:
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.Load(@"file.xml");
Assuming you saved the xml above to file.xml
Anyway, just another idea.
