Suggest me a solution.

changing value of cell on condition in gridview - c#

I have fetched the data from SQL server to datagridview but I don't know how to change the cell value. I have to change the fetched value 1 and 0 to available and unavailable. here is my code for fetching data ... please help.
private void btnsearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("server = 192.168.100.6;Database=sms;UID=sa;Password=1234;");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select id as 'Book ID',name as 'Name' , status as 'Status' from book where Name = #name", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#name", txtFirstName.Text);
try
{
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.SelectCommand = cmd;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
BindingSource bsource = new BindingSource();
bsource.DataSource = dt;
dataGridView1.DataSource = bsource;
}
catch (Exception ec)
{
MessageBox.Show(ec.Message);
}
// chage_value();
dataGridView1.Show();
}
}

Please find below answer
private void btnsearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("server = 192.168.100.6;Database=sms;UID=sa;Password=1234;");
string sSql=#"Select id as 'Book ID',name as 'Name' ,
Case when status=0 then 'unavailable' else 'available '
End as 'Status' from
book where Name ='"+txtFirstName.Text +"'"
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sSql, con);
try
{
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.SelectCommand = cmd;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
}
catch (Exception ec)
{
MessageBox.Show(ec.Message);
}
// chage_value();
dataGridView1.Show();
}
}

First of all, try to store your queries in variables. This will help you in the long run. Also, it is good practise to check whether you are connected or not before trying to send a query away to the server. It is important to remeber that when you fetch data from your server, it will most likely be seen as a string, so if you want to compare it as a number, you need to convert it first.
What you could do is something similar to what i've written below. You count the amount of answers your query returns, then loop through them and check whether they are 0 or 1. Then just replace the value with Avaliable or Unavaliable.
if (dbCon.IsConnect()){
MySqlCommand idCmd = new MySqlCommand("Select * from " + da.DataGridView1.Text, dbCon.Connection);
using (MySqlDataReader reader = idCmd.ExecuteReader()){
// List<string> stringArray = new List<string>(); // you could use this string array to compare them, if you like this approach more.
while (reader.Read()){
var checkStatus= reader["Status"].ToString();
Console.WriteLine("Status: " + checkStatus.Split(' ').Count()); //checks how many items you've got.
foreach (var item in checkStatus.Split(' ').Select(x => x.Trim()).Where(x => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x)).ToArray()){
var item2 = 0.0; // your 0 or 1 for avaliable or unavaliable..
try{
item2 = double.Parse(item.ToString());
if(strcmp(item2,'0') == 1){ //assuming you only have 0's and 1's.
item2 = "unavaliable";
}else{
item2 = "avaliable";
}
}
catch (Exception){
//do what you want
}
Console.WriteLine("item: " + item2);
}
}
dbCon.Close();
}
}
return //what you want;
}

display data to listbox C#

Listbox does not show data. Verified data is in database and I am not getting an
error. Not sure where/what is wrong. Thanks in advance. My code is attached.
private void UpDateList()
{
// add data connection and fill data set.
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(dataSource);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
string sqlString = "select * from Suppliers";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
try
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
conn.Open();
cmd.CommandText = sqlString;
da.Fill(ds);
conn.Close();
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
foreach(DataRow dRow in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
ArrayList values = new ArrayList();
foreach(object value in dRow.ItemArray)
{
values.Add(value);
_Suppliers.Add(values);
}
}
lstSuppliers.DataSource = _Suppliers;
lstSuppliers.Update();
}

It's kinda pointless to enumerate one bindable data collection and transfer data into another bindable collection so it can be bound. Just have your list use the default view of the datatable that already holds the data (allows sorting, filtering etc)
E.g.
LstSuppliers.DataSource = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
LstSuppliers.DisplayMember = "column name goes here of what to show eg SupplierName";
LstSuppliers.ValueMember = "column whose value to use for lstSuppliers.SelectedValue e.g. supplierId";
And then for example, not required but an example possibility:
ds.Tables[0].DefaultView.Sort = "[SupplierName] ASC";

How to get the data when I select a datagridview cell or column

I have 2 datagridview controls in a Windows Forms application.
I would like to get the info of a person when I select first datagridview cell or row to next datagridview:
try
{
ConnectionStringSettings consettings = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["attendancemanagement"];
string connectionString = consettings.ConnectionString;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
con.Open();
adap3 = new SqlDataAdapter(#"SELECT Date,Attendance,Remarks FROM dailyattendance where employee_id='"+DailyGV.CurrentRow+"'", con);
ds3 = new DataSet();
adap3.Fill(ds3, "dailyattendance");
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds3.Tables[0];
}
Im trying the above code. But it's not working.

I'm not too sure what DailyGV.CurrentRow is but basically you can use the RowHeaderMouseClick...see MSDN documentation. To use it, hook an event handler to it when initializing the form components (you can use VS designer as well...
dataGridView1.RowHeaderMouseClick += dataGridView1_RowHeaderMouseClick;
void dataGridView1_RowHeaderMouseClick(
object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
}
this event handler will get fired everytime you select a row header in the DataGridView control which will pass information about the event through an instance of the DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs class (see MSDN documentation). This argument has a RowIndex property that provides the index of the row clicked which you can use to retrieve the values of the cells in that row...including the person id (if provided)...for example...
void dataGridView1_RowHeaderMouseClick(
object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
string personId = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["PersonId"].Value;
//TODO: implement your own query to retrieve data for that person id
}
notice that you need to provide a proper column name when access the cells collection indexer...Cells["columnName"]

I will not give any description about the solution because Leo and Arsalan Bhatti has already suggested the solution. I am just telling you how your code should looks like and how it should be written.
string connectionString = consettings.ConnectionString;
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
try
{
con.Open();
string empID = DailyGV.CurrentRow.Cells["employee_id"].Value.ToString();
SqlCommand Cmd = con.CreateCommand();
Cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Date,Attendance,Remarks FROM dailyattendance where employee_id=#employee_id";
Cmd.Parameters.Add("#employee_id", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Int32.Parse(empID);
adap3 = new SqlDataAdapter(Cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
adap3.Fill(dt);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
con.Close();
}
catch
{}
}

try
{
cn.Open();
string query = "select employee_id,Employee_Name,Image_of_Employee from Employee_Details where employee_id='" + dataGridView1.SelectedCells[0].Value.ToString() + "'";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, cn);
SqlDataReader sdr;
sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (sdr.Read())
{
string aa = (string)sdr["employee_id"];
string bb = (string)sdr["employee_name"];
txtEmployeeID.Text = aa.ToString();
txtnameofemployee.Text = bb.ToString();
byte[] img=(byte[])sdr["Image_of_employee"];
MemoryStream ms=new MemoryStream(img);
ms.Seek(0,SeekOrigin.Begin);
pictureBox1.Image=Image.FromStream(ms); cn.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception e1)
{
MessageBox.Show(e1.Message);
}

You are passing the current row's index as employee id in SELECT query. Pass employee id for the selected record. Then it will work fine.

Fill ComboBox with Access DB data

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and C# to create a windows form with a combobox that should contain employees initials. I have spent the last few days searching through every solution I can find and I still can not get my combobox to populate.
This is what I've got as of now:
public static void FillComboBox(string Query, System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox LoggedByBox)
{
using (var CONN = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\Users\\Documents\\Service Request Application\\bin\\Debug\\servicereq1.mdb"))
{
CONN.Open();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
try
{
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(Query, CONN);
OleDbDataReader myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
dt.Load(myReader);
}
catch (OleDbException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
return;
}
LoggedByBox.DataSource = dt;
LoggedByBox.ValueMember = "ID";
LoggedByBox.DisplayMember = "Initials";
}
}
Then I call it when the form loads
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FillComboBox("select ID, Initials from [Fixers and Testers]", LoggedByBox);
}
When I run the program, the combobox is still blank. I'm positive that my column names and table names are correct. Any suggestions?

I finally got my ComboBox filled and I wanted to share what I changed for anyone else who stumbles across this question in their searches. After spending a bit more time searching through other questions and MSDN, I was able to come up with this.
private void LoadComboLogged()
{
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("DataDirectory",#"\\prod\ServiceRequests");
string strCon = #"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DataSource=|DataDirectory|\servicereq1.mdb";
try
{
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(strCon))
{
conn.Open();
string strSql = "SELECT Initials FROM [Fixers and Testers] WHERE [Status] ='C'";
OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(new OleDbCommand(strSql, conn));
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(ds);
loggedByComboBox.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
loggedByComboBox.DisplayMember = "Initials";
loggedByComboBox.ValueMember = "Initials";
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
I also found that I needed to call
LoadComboLogged();
when I initialized my form. Without that line, the ComboBox would only show a blank dropdown list. Hope this helps someone else who runs into this problem.

Passing control to static method causing this issue. Instead of passing control to the method make that method returns the table and within the load method load the control.

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=RUSH-PC\\RUSH;Initial Catalog=Att;Integrated Security=True");
con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select name from userinfo", con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
DataRow dr;
dr = dt.NewRow();
dt.Rows.InsertAt(dr, 1);
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "name";
comboBox1.ValueMember = "name";
comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
con.Close();
This may help you...
Good luck...:-)

Another possible solution would be to query and return a list of strings. Perhaps it may be less efficient, but it's what I used in a recent project of mine. Here's an example that would reside in a method, possibly called GetInitialsFromDatabase():
using(var conn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString)
{
conn.Open();
using(MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand())
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Initials FROM [Fixers and Testers] WHERE [Status] ='C'";
MySqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while(reader.Read())
{
// initials is a List<String> previously defined (Assuming strings)
initials.Add(String.Format("{0}", reader[0]));
}
}
conn.Close();
}
And then return the initials List, and then in your GUI you could say:
comboBox1.DataSource = returnedList;
comboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
