• Windows Forms Check if underlying dataset was updated

  I've looked everywhere. This has to be an easy one. How do you check if the data has been updated when using data binding in Windows Forms 2.0. I know you can check each row individually to see if it was modified, but that seems like a lot of work for such a simple task. This will be used to check if something was not been saved during the form closing event. Hello. I guess it really depends on what you're binding to. It sounds like you're bound to a dataset of some sort. If so you can just check the HasChanges property on the dataset instance. For example: Dim MyDataSet as SomeStronglyTypedDat ...Show All

• Visual C# Removing the double quotes from a CSV file.

  I would like to remove the double quotes from a CSV file but am having a bugger of time doing so.     My input file looks like this: "Book1 number 1",120.00,140.00,,,"Great Book" "Book2 number 1",12.00,99.99,,,"Losy Book" "Book2 number 2",19.00,34.00,,,"Do not read" First I break up the line into an array so as to be able to manipulate each field easily. string [] strSplitData = strDataLine.Split(','); I now have the line split into an array and can easily do whatever I need to do. But I do not require the " that is leading an trialing in array element 0 and array elment 5. So I try to remove the " with the repla ...Show All

• SQL Server Inconsistent Errors Using Bulk Insert with a Format File

  As part of a c# program, utilizing .Net 2.0, I am calling a sproc via a SqlCommand to bulk load data from flat files to a various tables in a SQL Server 2005 database. We are using format files to do this, as all of the incoming flat files are fixed length. The sproc simply calls a T-SQL BULK INSERT statement, accepting the file name, format file name and the database table as input paramaters. As expected, this works most of the time, but periodically (to often for a production environment), the insert fails. The particular file to fail is essentially random and when I rerun the process, the insert completes successfully. A sample of the ...Show All

• .NET Development Inserting large amount of rows using ADO.NET

  Hi , I have a requirement to read rows from Table A on Server A and insert into Table B on Server B. Unfortunatley, Server A and B are not linked , so i can't use a Insert SQL to do the inserts. I am thinking of reading rows from Table A and inserting into Table B using ADO.NET. My question is : 1) Is there a way in ADO.NET 1.1 to do bulk inserts The insert will be done by a stored procedure , but I don't want this Stored proc to be called for every row in the datatable. 2) In case I do have to call the Insert Stored Proc for each row in the table, will it be efficient enough for a datable with say 1 million rows 3) Is there ...Show All

• SQL Server Large objects and the transaction log

  Hi there! I'm a little bit in doubt because of the behavior of the transaction log in the case i have large transactions inserting and deleting a lot of (i.e. 100) large objects (data type image) with a size (each) about 20MB. I expected that the transaction log should grow with 2GB each of this large transactions. But it does'nt. Are these large transactions not logged - so that in case of disaster all lobs since last diff- or full-backup are lost Some experience with that Greetings, Torsten First off, I assume that your database in not in Simple recovery mode, right If it is, then the tra ...Show All
