Here is a Picture of My Table Named CategoryTable
I used The Following Code to Delete Data from the Above Table using a ComboBox which is named as SelectCategoryComboBoxBut it does nothing.it acts like an un-programed button.
here is my code:
try
{
String conString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["mfcdb"].ConnectionString;
String query = "DELETE FROM CategoryTable WHERE CategoryName='" + SelectCategoryComboBox.SelectedText + "'";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
catch{
MessageBox.Show("Error");
}
Change
SelectCategoryComboBox.SelectedText
to
SelectCategoryComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()
I tried to get data in a drop down list and it's not working. I don't understand what's the problem.
string connString = #" Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename='C:\Users\oshri\Documents\Stock scores.mdf';Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";
string queryLecturer = "select name_student from student";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
//SqlCommand cmdL = new SqlCommand(queryLecturer, conn);
conn.Open();
//SqlCommand SQLCommand = new SqlCommand();
//cmdL.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
//SQLCommand.CommandText = queryLecturer;
//conn.Close();
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(queryLecturer, conn);
adapter.Fill(subjects);
DropDownListID.DataSource = subjects;
DropDownListID.DataBind();
DropDownListID.DataBind();
conn.Close();
You are assigning a DataSet containing DataRowView items to your drop down. Your drop down (is it a System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox?) is not smart enough to extract the real values from this DataSet. Instead, use a SqlDataReader to read your string values and add them to a list that you can use as data source for your drop down.
string connString = #"Data Source=...";
string queryLecturer = "select name_student from student";
using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
using (var cmd = new SqlCommand(queryLecturer)) {
conn.Open();
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()) {
var list = new List<string>();
while (reader.Read()) {
list.Add(reader.GetString(0)); // 0 is the column index.
}
DropDownListID.DataSource = list;
}
}
The using statements automatically close the connection and dispose resources at the end of the statement blocks. They do so even if the statement blocks are left prematurely because of an exception or because of a break or return statement.
I'm trying something out but cant figure it out. So what i'm trying is that if the user inputs something inside txtISN and it already exists inside of the database, the record wont be inserted. I also want a error msg to pop up when a record wasnt inserted and when a record is inserted I want an message to pop up saying that the record was inserted succesfully.
Thanks for the help y'all!
string _connStr = #"Data Source = EJQ7FRN; Initial Catalog = BES; Integrated Security = True";
string _query = "INSERT INTO [BES_S] (ISN,Titel,Name) values (#ISN,#Titel,#Name)";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connStr))
{
using (SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand())
{
comm.Connection = conn;
comm.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
comm.CommandText = _query;
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ISN", txtISN.Text);
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Titel",txtTitel.Text);
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Name", txtName.Text);
try
{
conn.Open();
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
}
}
}
You need to change your query a bit, but you can use MySql's DUAL keyword to do this:
string _connStr = #"Data Source = EJQ7FRN; Initial Catalog = BES; Integrated Security = True";
string _query = "INSERT INTO [BES_S] (ISN,Titel,Name) ";
_query = _query + " SELECT #ISN, #Titel, #Name FROM DUAL";
_query = _query + " WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT ISN WHERE ISN=#ISN)";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connStr))
{
using (SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand())
{
comm.Connection = conn;
comm.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
comm.CommandText = _query;
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ISN", txtISN.Text);
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Titel",txtTitel.Text);
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Name", txtName.Text);
try
{
conn.Open();
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
}
}
}
DUAL is like a dummy table that you can use to SELECT from.
Let the database take care of this using a unique constraint/index:
alter table bes_s add constraint unq_bes_ISN unique (ISN);
This will cause the database to generate an error if a duplicate ISN is inserted. You can put one or more columns for the unique constraint (in case this single column is not the exact definition of uniqueness).
I have a very basic and beginner problem. I got a 5 line code and I got exception in that.
My database :
It has one table and two columns inside the table viz. id and name.
I made a form.
Here is my code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=(LocalDB)\\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=\"C:\\Users\\Nicki\\documents\\visual studio 2012\\Projects\\WindowsFormsApplication2\\WindowsFormsApplication2\\Database2.mdf\";Integrated Security=True");
conn.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Table (id,name) VALUES (1,'" + textBox1.Text + "')", conn);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
}
I get the following exception on running the code:
It says that I have syntax error even though the syntax error is correct. Any help would be appreciated.
Thankyou!
You should use a using clause to properly manage resources and use parameters to avoid security problems. It is not recommended to use reserved words as "table". Try this:
const string commandText = "INSERT INTO [Table] (id,name) VALUES (1,#Name)";
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString))
{
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);
command.Parameters.Add("#Name", SqlDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters["#Name"].Value = textBox1.Text;
connection.Open();
var rowsAffected = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
I have a table student (id, name). Then I have one textbox, for entering the name, when click on submit button, it inserts the data into the database. So how can I insert only to name, not id because id is auto increment?
I tried this
insert into student(id, name) values(,name)
but it is not insert to my table.
This is my code :
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string test = txtName.Text;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Person.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
string sql = "insert into student(name) values ('test')";
try
{
conn.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException ex)
{
string msg = "Insert Error:";
msg += ex.Message;
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
}
INSERT INTO student (name) values ('name')
Omit the id column altogether, it will be populated automatically. To use your variable, you should parameterise your SQL query.
string sql = "INSERT INTO student (name) values (#name)";
conn.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#name", SqlDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters["#name"].Value = test;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
You should never attempt to do this by constructing a SQL string containing the input value, as this can expose your code to SQL injection vulnerabilities.
You better use parameters when you insert data.
try
{
string sql = "insert into student(name) values (#name)";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
conn.Open();
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#name", test); // assign value to parameter
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
string msg = "Insert Error:";
msg += ex.Message;
}
You don't need to mention the ID in first part.
insert into student(name) values('name')
I was facing this problem and after trying various solution found at stack overflow, i could summarize the experience as follows:
commands executed in command shell of mssql like:
insert into table_name (val1,val2,val3,val4) VALUES ("val1","val2",0,"val4")
go
or
insert into table_name VALUES ("val1","val2",0,"val4")
go
work when typed directly in the mssql database prompt,
But when it is required to use the the insert statement from c#, it is required to be kept in mind that string needs to be surrounded by an additional pair of single quites, around the strings, like in:
SqlConnection cnn;
string connetionString = "Data Source=server_name;Initial Catalog=database_name;User ID=User_ID;Password=Pass_word";
cnn = new SqlConnection(connetionString);
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("insert into table_name (val1,val2,val3,val4) VALUES ('val1','val2',0,'val4');", cnn);
//or
//SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(insert into table_name VALUES ('val1','val2',0,'val4');", cnn);
cnn.Open();
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
cnn.Close();
the problem here is that most people, like myself, try to use <\"> in the place of double quotes <">that is implemented as in the above command line case, and SQL executor fails to understand the meaning of this.
Even in cases where a string needs to be replace, ensure that strings are surrounded by single quotation, where a string concatination looks like a feasible solution, like in:
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("insert into table_name (val1,val2,val3,val4) VALUES ('"+val1+"','val2',0,'val4');", cnn);
string sql = "INSERT INTO student (name) values (#name)";
conn.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#name", SqlDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters["#name"].Value = test;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Try the following query,
insert into student(name) values(name)
SQL Server internally auto increments the id column when u insert the data since u said it is auto increment. If it is not working, the u have to check the identity column in the db.
use the key word "identity" to auto increment the id column
Refer : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa933196(v=sql.80).aspx
create table table_name( id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY )
and you no need to mention the "id" in the insert query
