Re: Is the a max row count for SQLDataReader?

Ben - what could you possibly do with this many records? You certainly couldn't present this to a user - are you meant to be passing this to some other process (say to store to a file).

I suspect you've got two problems - one, the record at position 726,301 is invalid in some way which you aren't catching in your code and two, the number of records is too great. BTW - it's never a good idea to just consume exceptions. You should actually do something with it, even if it's only log the exception. I normally use a variation of this function to parse the items (I'm typing this from memory so it may need a bit of tidying up):

public static T ParseValue(this SqlDataReader reader, string fieldName)
{
  int ordinal = reader.GetOrdinal(fieldName);
  if (reader.IsDBNull(ordinal))
    return default(T);
  return (T)reader.GetValue(ordinal);
}

Then you use this as

NewRecord.PAR1 = Reader.ParseValue("PAR1");

How to use a COM Interface Dll within C# code???

Hi All,
i'm try to take the VB script and Dll in this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935635
and make the functionality work with C#.
i can add the ExIpSec.dll type library and with the using statement (using EXIPSECLib) i can expose the Interfaces and i can some of them to work. but when i try to retrieve the list if IP addresses i just get System.object[]. i have tried converting this to a string[] but i get nothing back.

can anyone tell how to correct call this dll? - DllImport does seem to work either!!

Many Thanks,

Phil

Well, without more info, we can not do anything with it. But all you did so far seems correct.

In fact, .Net will wrap up the COM for you(if you add COM dll from the Visual Studio), we do not need to worry about the interface. I am intended to say maybe you miss something in your code, such as initialize certain parameter.

the lines in the VB script are:
Set objDsIpSec = CreateObject("ExIpSec.ExIpSecurity")
objDsIpSec.BindToSmtpVsi "someSMTPserver", 1, "someDC"
objDsIpSec.GetRelayIpList
listToDisplayIp = objDsIpSec.IpGrant
listToDisplayIp appears to be a string array.

the lines in using in C# are:
ExIpSecurity ipsec = new ExIpSecurity();
string[] s;
ipsec.BindToSmtpVsi("someSMTPserver", 1, "someDC");
ipsec.GetRelayIpList();
s = ipsec.IPGrant.ToString().Split(' ');

foreach (string i in s)
{
MessageBox.Show(i.ToString());
}

if i run the VB script i get a list of IP address but if i run the C# code i get one popup box saying System.Object[]

what am i doing wrong?

Did you debug the code and check what the value of IPGrant is?

hello,

done it!
when debugging i could see all the entries in IPGrant, the problem was converting the object array into a string array, i managed this with:
ExIpSecurity ipsec = new ExIpSecurity();
ipsec.BindToSmtpVsi(someSMTPserver, 1, "someDC");
ipsec.GetRelayIpList();

object[] o = (object[])ipsec.IPGrant;
string[] s = new string[o.Length];
Array arr = s;
o.CopyTo(arr, 0);
s = (string[])arr;

foreach (string i in s)
{
sw.WriteLine(i);
}

thanks for your help mate,
have a good weekend.

How to get the value from a variable and use it eg Form.VariableValue

Hi all, can someone help with the following issue I'm having.

I am returning a dataset with a list of names of screen objects for a form.
I am trying to loop round the dataset, pick up the name then get the type of the control.

As follows...

foreach (DataRow row in dataSet_Groups.sp091_load_user_screen_components_layout.Rows)
{
strObjectName = Convert.ToString(row["ScreenObjectName"]);
strXMLText = Convert.ToString(row["XMLText"]);
intX = Convert.ToInt32(row["X"]);
intY = Convert.ToInt32(row["Y"]);
intWidth = Convert.ToInt32(row["Width"]);
intHeight = Convert.ToInt32(row["Weight"]);
intPosition = Convert.ToInt32(row["Position"]);

ctrlOnForm = frmToProcess.strObjectName;
switch (ctrlOnForm.GetType().FullName)
{
case "textEdit":
break;
}

}

frmToProcess is the form in question. How do I get the the value out of strObjectName and link it onto the the form name so I can check it's properties (see bold part in code). It's almost as if I need to perform Macro substitution (from my old FoxPro days)!
Sorry if my description is confusing.

Thanks.

Hi, Here is below code as i am trying to populate two combobox for different values but getting OledbException while running:

I have two tables called
Packing and Products
Packing=id,name
Products:id,prodname,price,packing [defined by number]

I have setup relation between them in MSAccess which is done..

Product.Packing=Number
Packing.PackingName=Text

Code:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            
            string sql ="SELECT distinct ProductName FROM Products";
            string sql2 = "SELECT  pac.PackingName FROM Products prod,Packing pac where prod.Packing=pac.PackingName ";
                        
                        DataSet ds=new DataSet();
            
                        try 
                        {
                                database = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
                database.Open();

                        }
                        
                        OleDbDataAdapter adp=new OleDbDataAdapter(sql,database);
            adp = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql2,database);
            
                        adp.Fill(ds,"ProductName");
            adp.Fill(ds,"PackingName");
                                                        
                        foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) 
                        {
                                comboBox3.Items.Add(dr[0].ToString()) ;

                        }
            
 
            }

Any help please...Thanks,

you are using the same data adapter for box queries. Is this what you want to do?

You need to process the first data adapter before reusing it or use different data adapter, even better, refactor your code and call it as many times as you want, for example

FillComboBox(comboBox, sql)
    {
      DataSet ds = new DataSet(); 
      try 
      { 
        database = new OleDbConnection(connectionString); 
        database.Open();

        OleDbDataAdapter adp = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql, database); 
        adp.Fill(ds, "tableName");         
        
        foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) 
        { 
          comboBox.Items.Add(dr[0].ToString()); 
        }
      }
      catch (Exception x) 
      { 
        MessageBox.Show(x.Message); 
      }
    }

I got the solution of how to tackle and did it by doing SQL query again to be bit corrected..and now no exception...

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            
            string sql ="SELECT distinct ProductName FROM Products";
            string sql2 = "SELECT DISTINCT Packing.PackingName FROM Packing INNER JOIN Products ON Packing.PackingID=Products.Packing";
            

			DataSet ds=new DataSet();
            
            
			try 
			{
				database = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
                database.Open();
			}
			catch (Exception x)
			{
				MessageBox.Show(x.Message);
			}
			
            OleDbDataAdapter adp = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql, database);
            adp.Fill(ds, "ProductName");

            adp = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql2, database);
            adp.Fill(ds,"PackingName");
							
			foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) 
			{
				comboBox3.Items.Add(dr[0].ToString()) ;
                                comboBox1.Items.Add(dr[1].ToString());
             		
			}

But now in combobox1 i get the same values as in combobox3? Confused | :confused:

I think so pb in foreach loop?

Any advise please...

Lotus Notes (ConvertMIME)

Hi,

I have a problem with connecting Lotus Notes via OLE. The connector itself is working and I can generate an E-Mail. But I cannot access the property ConvertMIME.

I have played around a little bit and found out:

Type NotesSessionType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Notes.NotesSession");
object NotesSession = Activator.CreateInstance(NotesSessionType);

bool obj = (bool)NotesSessionType.InvokeMember("ConvertMIME", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, NotesSession, null);

Works fine. But:

NotesSessionType.InvokeMember("ConvertMIME", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, NotesSession, new object[] {false});

Crashes with „TargetInvocationException“. HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED). What I’m doing wrong?

Hi i'm looking for some tips and tricks about how to insert into relational data (Master/Detail) at the same time.
for example, user want to create new Customer, open Customer form to set it's values and insert some Orders for that Customer (which did not inserted into database yet) in Orders section, then save all together at the same time to database.
can anybody help me and has experience for this issue ?
thanks

A transaction could be used to wrap both insert statements into an atomic operation that would "behave" like a single statement.

I know this which run these operations under a single transaction, but my problem is that how to insert foreign key (from Customers) in to order record (because new customer has not been inserted yet, hence it does not a valid Primary key). i'm looking for some tips and tricks about this operation.

I think I don't understand exactly what you want/need. Would this help, or am I missing something in your question?

BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO Customers (CustName) VALUES ('John') -- Id field is identity, and therefore not named in the fieldlist.
DECLARE @custId AS BIGINT
SELECT @custId = @@IDENTITY -- put new custId key into "@custId" var
INSERT INTO ORDER (OrderId, CustomerId) VALUES (1, @custId)
COMMIT TRANSACTION

It's good for an employee and an order. You can put as many SQL-statements in there as you want, SQL Server will keep treating them like an atomic operation Smile | :)

Put the start-transaction and the identity-retrieve statements in a string, and concatenate insert-statements for each order. When done, add the commit-transaction statement (or a rollback in case of error) and execute the string.

What you need to do is that after installing the customer. Fetch the customer id..

And then you can make an overloaded method to save an order where you provide the customerid..
And in that method code it in such a way that the customer id given differently is used and not on the table of orders. .

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
