We can't read your mind, and we can't see your screen. If you don't tell us what the error is, we can't help you.

Well, i provided the code and i asked you to look over it, maybe you discover something wrong, which i haven't seen before. That was the main purpose of my post.

But if you don't tell us what error you're getting, we have no way of finding out what's wrong with your code.
If you took your car to the garage to get it fixed, would you say, "There's a problem with my car. Here's the car. Fix it.", or would you give them the details of the problem so that they'd know where to start?

Why are you constantly turning IDENTITY_INSERT on and off (it's always on by default)?? This should normally be turned on and left alone. It should be turned off only for importing existing data, for example, during a migration of the database. This should not be done as normal course for inserting a record.
|
|

|
|
So you're suggesting to only remove the identity_insert off from the finally block? I tried to do so, but now i get the error;
ExecuteNonQuery: Connection property has not been initialized.
Which probably refers to the part:
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SET IDENTITY_INSERT Clienti ON");
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
What does this mean?

You are executing a Sql command without assigning a connection to it. You can either include it in the constructor on the SqlCommand or you can add it explicitly through
command.Connection = ...

Do i need to say:
command.Connection = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=JOHN-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=subiect1;Integrated Security=True");
or something like that?
I repeat, i am new with C#. If someone knows and is willing to answer my questions, i will be very grateful. If they don't have anything useful to say, they are asked to keep their opinions for themselves.
Thank you very much!

I would tend to do something like this:
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(... put connection details in here...)
{
command.Connection = connection;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}The reason you would do this is that the connection to the database is closed as soon as possible after you have finished with your query.

Thanks, i solved the problem. It works now!

On top of what Pete said, you don't need either of those IDENTITY_INSERT commands being executed. It appears you have no idea what they're for and are just copying and pasting code from the Internet without trying to understand what it does or why it's there.

I am sorry i forgot to mention i am new with c#.
And i inserted those commands because i got the error IDENTITY_INSERT is set off. So, what should i understand from that error? I thought i needed them, but i didn't know where i they are needed.I repeat, I've just put them there because of the error i received. How can i know it is wrong what i have done since i am new with c#?
This is the purpose of my question, people, to tell me what is wrong, not to receive reproaches. If i was smart enough, i didn't ask questions in forums, i would have solved my problem alone.

You're trying to insert an explicit value into an IDENTITY column[^]. The value of this column will normally be allocated by the database, which is why it gives you an error when you try to insert an explicit value.
In certain restricted cases, it is necessary to allow explicit values to be inserted into an identity column. This is the only time that IDENTITY_INSERT[^] is used. This should only be done as a maintenance operation, and not part of a normal insert.
If you want to insert explicit values into the column, then remove the identity property. Otherwise, don't specify the identity column in your INSERT statement.

Thank you for clear explanation.

Hello,
I need to encode a string to a 6 or 8 digits hash and decode it to original string. Encoded string has to include only numbers and alphabetic characters. Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
My understanding is that the whole point of a hash is that it cannot be decoded back to the original string - let's see if I am proven wrong on this.

It can be hash or something like that, I need to convert a 12 characters long string to 12 characters long string or smaller meaningless one. Thanks for your reply.
|
|
|
|
|
In which case just use some sort of algorithm that is applied to the ascii value of the first character, then use the output from this together with the value of the second character to convert the second character and so on(this way it is a little bit harder to crack the sequence of characters).
To decode it all you need to do is reverse the process starting from the first character again.

Come on! You want to convert *any* string and reduce it to 6 or 8 digits, and then be able to convert it back again?
Well, if you find a way I'll be impressed. Not to mention that we'll be able to zip anything up in just 6 digits..!
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

That would be an incredible compression ratio if one could achieve that

Maybe someone can help you when you explain What it is that are trying to achieve? Why do you need to generate the 'hash' and translate it back?
|

I need to generate a meaningless code that includes last 4 characters of MAC address and a date for example; F28D31122014. Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
Creating a meaningless code is easy, but it is impossible to regenerate a MAC address from only the last 4 characters.
Still don't understand WHY. WHAT are you trying to accomplish?

That is not possible. And it is proven as well.
Now if you want to take a string or binary data and create another string which will only contain alphanumerics then that is fairly easy. In most cases the second string will be longer than the first. You can look to Base64 encoding to see an example of how you might do this. (Base64 is similar to but not exactly the same as what the output you are asking for is.)

Hi, I have c# dll and I am using that dll in c++ with the help of COM Interop by importing the corresponding .tlb file in my .cpp file(#import "com.MyIntrop.tlb") and its working absolutely fine but now I want to use same dll in my C code but because I can not use #import in C how to use same dll which I have register as COM assembly in C.

The .tlb file is typically created by the MIDL.exe from the .idl source file. It has an option to generate .c/.h file to be used by C programs. But since you did not create the .tlb file (I assume it was auto-created by a tool), I don't think you can do much about it.
Here's a workaround. I'm not sure if it will work. You can use OleView.exe to reverse engineer the .tlb to .idl and then use MIDL.exe to compile the .idl back to .tlb with the option to generate .c/.h files. You can then use these files in your C program.
