Another Tip:
Put the variable hr in the debug watch window, append ", hr" (without the quotes) to it to have Visual C++ translate it for you!
Or you can use pseudo variable $err as $err,hr in Watch window.The $err pseudo variable provides the value, and the hr format specifier tells the watch window to format it as an error code.

Which one?

Hi,
I'm developing an application and i would display data from database(access, sqlserver, oracle) in a bcg grid.
So can someone help me by a simple example of code or how can i do for this.
Thank you very much.

is this solution will work with SqlServer and Oracle database ?

Had you bothered to go through the links given to you, then you would have noticed the answer to your same exact question in the CP article:
"The sample has been tested with both MS Access and SQL Server, in theory you should be able to use it against all data sources that support OLE-DB."

Below is the code to append Bstr, but in debug mode it gives error
' ::SysFreeString(dest); ' and in release mode if i dont write ' ::SysFreeString(dest); ' it corrupts heap. What optimization i do.
BSTR StringAppend(const BSTR dest,const BSTR src)
{
long destLen=::SysStringByteLen(dest);
long srcLen=::SysStringByteLen(src);
BSTR st3 = ::SysAllocStringByteLen(NULL,destLen+srcLen);
try
{
if(st3==NULL)
{
throw "Insufficient Memory";
}
else
{
wcscpy(st3, dest);
wcscat(st3, src);
::SysFreeString(dest);// here it gives error in debug mode
}
}
catch(char * error)
{
throw error;
}
return st3;
}

A const BSTR dest ?
Why const ?

Why are you freeing dest?

Because if i do not free, it gives error that heap is violated in release mode and when i traced down it goes in the NULL condition.

It looks like the problem is in your bad mixing of char and wchar calls:
with the following line
BSTR st3 = ::SysAllocStringByteLen(NULL,destLen+srcLen);
you're allocating (destLen + srcLen + 1) bytes.
while in the following calls
wcscpy(st3, dest);
wcscat(st3, src);
you need, (destLen + srcLen + 2) bytes.

Thanks working great now .
i don't know the +2 funda , actually i am c# developer but my firm wants me to develop project in c++.
::SysFreeString(dest);
can i free this in StringAppend function itself or after my function returns.

Technically you can do it inside. However you probably should revise your design, for instance using a prototype like the following for your function:
HRESULT StringAppend( BSTR * pdst, const BSTR src);
or, better, using, as suggested, the handy _bstr_t wrapper.

1. BSTR * pdst
why pointer here.
BSTR is itself a pointer.
2. What code you have write for StringAppend function ?
I want to take some idea from you.It would be very helpful for me.It's a humble request from a programmer to a professional.

BSTR is itself a pointer.
Because the function will internally change the value of the original pointer, i.e. pdst is a INOUT parameter (this way you state clearly that the function may alter the original dst string).
Mogaambo wrote:

Something like
HRESULT StringAppend(BSTR * pdest, const BSTR src)
{
if (pdest == NULL) return E_FAIL;
long destLen=::SysStringLen(*pdest);
long srcLen=::SysStringLen(src);
BSTR tmp = ::SysAllocStringLen(NULL,destLen+srcLen);
if( tmp == NULL) return E_FAIL;
wcscpy(tmp, *pdest);
wcscat(tmp, src);
::SysFreeString(*pdest);
pdest = &tmp;
*pdest = tmp;
return S_OK;
}
Beware: I didn't check this code (moreover I've used just the very basic E_FAIL failure
return value, a good function should be more informative on failure.

BSTR tmp = ::SysAllocStringLen(NULL,destLen+srcLen);
dude you haven't added +2 bytes, it is crashing as that of mine, but when i added +2 it is running fine, so whenever i want allocate BSTR do i have 2 add + bytes.
BSTR tmp = ::SysAllocStringLen(NULL,destLen+srcLen+2);

I know, I don't need to (I'm using SysAllocStringLen, not SysAllocStringByteLen).

This is very strange.
Mogaambo wrote: so whenever i want allocate BSTR do i have 2 add + bytes
Nope. Even if your point about the crash is true (and is true, I know) this is a wrong conclusion.

I made a silly error in my code, now fixed (please see again the posted snippet).
It should be OK now, the following test runs fine:
BSTR dest = SysAllocString(L"Hi ");
BSTR s1,s2,s3,s4;
s1 = SysAllocString(L"People, ");
s2 = SysAllocString(L"How do ");
s3 = SysAllocString(L"you ");
s4 = SysAllocString(L"do?");
HRESULT hr;
hr = StringAppend(&dest, s1);
hr = StringAppend(&dest, s2);
hr = StringAppend(&dest, s3);
hr = StringAppend(&dest, s4);
MessageBoxW(dest, L"Info");
SysFreeString(s1);
SysFreeString(s2);
SysFreeString(s3);
SysFreeString(s4);
SysFreeString(dest);

If you run your code in debug mode , it crashes at line where you freeing the variable, but runs in release mode.

My test works fine in DEBUG mode on my machine. What inputs are you providing?

I recommend CComBSTR::AppendBSTR or _bstr_t::operator+

I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.
