first of all: who/what is it (a component from your runtime environment or the database) ?

I guess it's the database? I can remember that MS SQL has a pretty narrow constraint on the length of identifiers, and I don't think that other DBMS are very different in this respect. If that's the case, you have no other choice than shortening the table name (you should do that anyway...).

What is too long? The table name or the column name? I don't think that it's the datatype that's causing trouble. Try this one for comparison;

CmdStr = "CREATE TABLE MyTableName ([MyColumName] TEXT";

That means that this part:

[abcdefghi a abcdifg abc, abcef a abcdefg ab abcdefgh abc abcdefghij]

is too long in Access' opinion. She can be like that at times Frown | :(

I suggest you use a shorter, more descriptive column name. What things do you want to store in there?

LONGTEXT means that the column can hold data up to 64000 characters in length. Not that its name can be up to 64000 characters.

Several people have already told you that the column name you are using is too long. Access has told you thet the column name you are using is too long.

Why don't you believe them?

For goodness sake use a shorter column name!!!

You can have a shorter name, it just means re-arranging the data. Create another table to hold the names of the columns give each name a column number. Whenever you need data from one of the extra long column named columns, look up it's name/number and pull data from that column of the actual data table.

Good Afternoon All

As you know in South Africa today is a Election day, i think my ado.net code went to the Elections tooo

i have this code in my DAL

public DataSet Lis_Databases(String DB)
        {

            Strcon = GetConnectionString(DB);


            con = new SqlConnection(Strcon);

            cmdselect = new SqlCommand();

            cmdselect.CommandText = "[dbo].[sp_ListDatabasesOfType_Booking]";

            cmdselect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

            cmdselect.Connection = con;

            da = new SqlDataAdapter();

            da.SelectCommand = cmdselect;

            DataSet ds = new DataSet();

            try
            {
                con.Open();

                da.Fill(ds);
            }
            catch (SqlException)
            {
                throw;
            }
            finally
            {
                if (con != null)
                {
                    con.Close();
                }
            }

            return ds;

        }

and i call this code in my BLL like this

public DataSet Lis_Databases(String DB)
        {
            DAL.DAL obj = new DAL.DAL();

            DataSet ds = new DataSet();

            try
            {
                ds = obj.Lis_Databases(DB);
            }
            catch (SqlException)
            {   
                throw;
            }
            finally
            {

                obj = null;
            }
            return ds;
           
        }

And call use it like this in my PL(Presention Layer)

private void List_Databases_Grid()
    {
        
            BLL.BLL obj = new BLL.BLL();
        
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();

        try
        {

            ds = obj.Lis_Databases(Convert.ToString(Session["ActiveDatabase"]));

            if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
            {
                GridView_Database_list.DataSource = ds;

                GridView_Database_list.DataBind();
            }
            else
            {
                lblMessage.Text = "No Booking Database Avaiable,Create one";
                lblMessage.Visible = true;
                lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            }
        }
        catch (SqlException ex)
        {
            lblMessage.Visible = true;
            lblMessage.Text = "The List cannot be Binded, Please Contact ITS" + ex.Message;
            lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
        finally
        {
            obj = null;
        }

    }

when my code Comes to this line

if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
           {

The evualuation, it passes and that mean records had been returned, now when it gets to this line

GridView_Database_list.DataSource = ds;

it says

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

i have Initialized the Dataset everywhere as you can see above

what have i done wrong?

You can still Comment on my Error handling

Thank you

change that code to

Good Day Mbah Dhaim

I have added such a Code to Check if there any rows and your code will check if there any tables in the dataset. but my Problem is here

GridView_Database_list.DataSource = ds;

i get

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Error

Thank you

OK, which object is it failing on, the gridview or the dataset?
(I don't see how it could possibly fail on the dataset though).

Is the Gridview actually in your controls collection?
Do you add it dynamically (in which case, before you add it do you actually instantiate it properly?) or is it a control in your aspx page?
And if so, if you're using frames are you not trying to access a control that is in a different frame?
Or maybe the gridview is in a content holder of and you're trying to access it from a master page?

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

Eddy Vluggen21-Apr-09 23:48

21-Apr-09 23:48

According to your logic, ds can't be empty. I guess that you already added a watch to verify that. Let's break the statement that the compiler is complaining about into some smaller parts;

GridView_Database_list.DataSource = ds;

Could it be that "GridView_Database_list" is null? Assigning a null-value to a variable isn't likely to cause errors, but assigning a value to something that is null, probably will.

--edit--
Read Greg's post - he's right in noticing that there may be some action triggered from the Grid itself once there is an assignment to the DataSource property Smile | :)

DataSet is referenced type, as you see in your BLL and PL in finally part you destroy your object (DAL and BLL) : finally {obj = null}, your dataset in PL will be lost reference too.
remove finally part of your code.

hope it helps

No No the Finally Part will only Destroy the object not the Dataset, the Dataset will be Teturned Correctly. Thank you for your help i have the problem
