Hello CP,
Really unsure whether or not to post this here or with SQL.
I'm currently working with C# and Sql Server 2005 Express.
I've got two tables:
<br />
_Cases_<br />
CaseID, (PK, Identity (+1 increment))<br />
ClientID (FK)<br />
Description,<br />
DateRegistered,<br />
etc<br />
<br />
_Tasks_<br />
TaskID (PK, Identity (+1 increment))<br />
CaseID (FK)<br />
CompanyCost<br />
ClientCost<br />
As you can see, tasks depend on a case.
My form contains a lot of info for the Case and a small datagridview for the tasks.
I save my case and wish to add tasks to it.
Problem is that I don't know what CaseID the case has gotten.
I can query for Max(CaseID) possibly with a DateTime in the 'where' clause.
Although my method works, I was wondering if someone has a better idea, preferably in C# code.

Your problem is to get last inserted caseID or selected caseID from gridview?

You can't rely on the Max, or (necesarily) the datetime. If you do get two close-to-simultaneous updates, then there is a very good chance that the dates will be the same anyway.
Instead, do not rely on the database to ensure unique ID's - change the Id field type to Guid, and assign them yourself, before you insert the new record to the table. Advantages: you never have to search for the record you just inserted to find out the ID because you knew it before you inserted it. If you put a try-catch block round the insert, you can handle the (extremely unlikely1) event that you do get a duplicate and assign a new Guid for a retry.
I stopped using int IDs except for log entries a few years ago, and use Guid nearly exclusively.
If you must use DB assigned ints, then you can get round the problem using a stored proceedure to insert the record and return the ID, using IDENT_CURRENT: MSDN[^]
1 You are more likely to win the lottery every draw for the rest of your life than to get two matching Guids, in theory!

Does one really need an SP, last week I successfully used a compound command on MySQL, basically like this:
string cmd="INSERT INTO myTable (field1, field2) VALUES(@value1, @value2); SELECT last_insert_id()";
using (MySqlCommand dbCmd=new MySqlCommand(cmd, dbCon)) {
dbCmd.Parameters.Add("@value1", MySqlDbType.String).Value=value1;
dbCmd.Parameters.Add("@value2", MySqlDbType.String).Value=value2;
PK=(long)dbCmd.ExecuteScalar();
...
}
on a table with an integer auto-incrementing primary key. Are there arguments against that?

You don't actually need an SP to do it, but it makes it a bit more maintenance safe if you do. A new bod looking at it could easily "bleep over" the end of the insert and miss it. Plus I am not sure how SQL handles compound commands internally: could it process another command in between the two? I'd rather go with Guids and be safe every time.

Both the lottery and Microsoft telling you so, I'm still not sure it would be correct as it would strongly depend on the number of inserts you're performing, their frequency could be a lot higher than that of you buying a lottery ticket.

This is true, but with a space of 3.4E38 versus 1.4E7 it's a big difference!

Sounds alright.
So you actually do hope to win the lottery. Good luck then.

Hi,
I am planning to develop an ERP project for Windows using Visual Studio 2008? I just wanted to know what's the way to do it? is it just one project or many projects in one Solution? or it's many Solutions?
|
|
|
|
|
It's up to you, but does depend a bit on the size of your project. If it's quite large, then multiple solutions would probably be best.
Since you haven't told use anything other than it's an ERP project, there's very little anyone can say.
|
|
|
|
|
i didn't tell anything because i am just starting
for example, it will have billing, payroll, purchase, customer details, etc...
so you still say multiple solutions is better? specially for future maintenance and improvement?
|
|
|
|
|
One always starts with one solution.
If that becomes too cluttered or too slow to build, you can always create additional solutions, add some existing and some new projects to it, and continue. Time will tell. Why worry now? I move projects from one solution to another quite regularly.

Definitely lots of smaller projects/apps.
At least if you'll make a mobile version of it such as on mobile scanners running windows CE(5 or 6 or above).
You'd want small and dedicated apps for all the major transactions.
That's my opinion.
All the best,
Dan

Any decent ERP is sufficiently large to need many projects at least. I'd go with one solution until it becomes more of a hassle to leave it in one place than separate it. If you are using TFS you can branch the projects out anyway, but integration can be a headache.

You're approaching the problem in completely the wrong way here. You're starting off with a title and a physical structure, without getting to the finer points of what your requirements actually are. That's the thing you should be looking into first - once you've sorted the requirements and your design out, then the organisation of the solution architecture should become apparent.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree. Like most applications, ERP are usually specific to the organization, so rarely(if not impossible) can you build an ERP system that has the most features that will be reused on your future projects. Like Pete said, understand the requirements before building an architecture.
Ignorance of the ability brings disability.

|

|

There are lots of things you have to plan before start developing.
1) What are the module you want in the ERP. (Like,- Sales, Purchase and all that).
2) Who will be your client.
3) Other requirements.

Are you serious? Do you know how much work is involved in developping an ERP?

I've spent the entire night trying to do one simple thing - populate a ListView from a DataTable and display it. That isn't asking so much, is it? From MSDN, I learned that I have to use Details view to display multiple columns containing subitems, so I tried that. In VS2010 the IDE claims that View.Details is not defined, though in Designer View I can set the View Property to Details. All examples in MSDN include the line: ListView1.View = View.Details but it doesn't exist in VS 2010. Having made the proper setting in Designer View, I set about creating something useful. Or so I thought.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to display a list of SQL Server instances on the network, and ask the user where to create a new database. Enumerating the available instances is easy, as the SqlSourceEnumerator.GetDataSources() method works great, returning a table with 4 columns of text. Using the DataTable.Columns.ColumnName() method does a nice job of populating the headers for my ListView, too. And adding ListItems and SubItems works fine, as well, as I can see the data being transferred when I step through the code using the debugger. But when it finally gets down to displaying the ListView, nothing is displayed but the headers! And even though I've set the AutoResizeColumns property to HeaderSize, they don't resize at all! My code follows, and any suggestions would be most welcome, especially if they involve sacrificing small animals - I'm in that sort of mood.
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataStuff MyData = new DataStuff();
DataTable MyTable = MyData.GetSources();
lvDataSources.HeaderStyle = ColumnHeaderStyle.Nonclickable;
lvDataSources.AutoResizeColumns((ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize));
if (MyTable != null)
{
for (int i =0; i < MyTable.Columns.Count; i++)
{
ColumnHeader hdr = new ColumnHeader();
hdr.Text = MyTable.Columns[i].ColumnName;
lvDataSources.Columns.Add(hdr);
}
foreach (DataRow row in MyTable.Rows)
{
ListViewItem lvItem = new ListViewItem(row[0].ToString());
for (int i =1;i < MyTable.Columns.Count;i++)
{
if (row[i] != null)
lvItem.SubItems.Add(row[i].ToString());
else
lvItem.SubItems.Add("N/A");
}
}
lvDataSources.Show();
}
}

You have missed out on adding item to the listview in the foreach loop. BTW View.Details is available to me.
Missed out on the AutoResize thing. Do it after you have added the columns and it will work.

Bingo! How could I have missed that rather obvious step? 
Note to Self: Do not stare at the same non-working code block for 6 hours straight. Walk away... 
On the resizing thing, it seems to have two styles; one according to the header width, the other to match the data. What if some headers are wider than the data, and others not?
