TableAdapter

Hi all,
I have three tables; in fact they are two that I will present in a later step. What I want is to use the table adapter but I am getting a problem.

Tables:
1) Movie
MovieID,MovieTitle,MovieGenre,MovieTrailer,MoviePoster,...
2) Cast
CastID,CastName,CastBIO,CastDOB,CastPicture,...
3) CastMovie
MovieID,CastID

The problem is that I want to use a formview by using the table adapter; this table adapter should retrieve the movie information from the movie table and retrieve the cast name from the cast table, so that we can have the movie with the entire cast name within it.
How to do that with the available tables, by the way I am using the objectDataSource?

if anyone have another tools that we can use to insert, delete and edit other than the formview just provide me with it

RegardsYou could use SQL JOINs, probably CROSS JOIN (http://www.java2s.com/Code/SQL/Join/CROSSJOINinMySQL.htm).
thanx for your fast reply, but i already made a cross table by joining the cast and movie; the table which is called castmovie. however this table will not work.
All I can think of, in that case you would need a column common to both Tables, and related to each other. But wait, somebody could prove me wrong!
SELECT M.MovieID, M.MovieTitle, M.MovieGenre, M.MovieTrailer, M.MoviePoster, C.CastID, C.CastName, C.CastBio, C.CastDOB, C.CastPicture FROM Movie M LEFT JOIN CastMovie CM ON CM.MovieID = M.MovieID LEFT JOIN Cast C ON C.CastID = CM.CastID

Or something similar. It will get you multiple rows per movie though.
thank you alot
Wouldn't that require you to have CastMovie table in your database?? you said that you will remove it later. :confused:
i want to be able to enter more than one cast per movie as well as i want to be able to delete the movie info without the cast info, thats why i think its required to have a third table (many to many relatiobship).

TableAdapter: How do I create one which inserts values from a form into two tables?

I am creating a simple booking system. The system requires the users
to provide information regarding themselves and also the booking
detail. I want to send the data into two tables. One, the personalinfo
table and another bookinginfo. The bookinginfo, also has a column for
personalID which links it to the personalInfo table. How can I do this
with eiter an ASP button control use a table adapter to do it.
Sorry if this sounds trivial but I am really new to ASP and SQL.
RegardsYou'd need to simply write the data out to the table. Have a look at the
connection objects in .NET there is actually a lot of code that already does
what you want posted all over the web.

Alvin Bruney

TableAdapters Created in Dataset (XSD) Issues

Hi,
I've been trying to work with the XSDs and ran into a few road blocks.
1. Stored procedures that uses temp tables, i.e. #TempTable. The
wizard complains that #TempTable is an invalid object. What gives?
2. How do you programatically change the connection string at runtime
when using these TableAdapters via databinding in the IDE GUI?
Thanks,
Nick HustakNick,
Is the stored procedure creating the temp table itself, as opposed to
using a temp table that is created on the same connection by another
procedure?
Also, the connection string handling within 2005 for datasets (XSD) is
pretty weak in my opinion. If you're using the dataset within your
application, then it can use the application or web config file to
store the string. But if you're using a common dataset in a class
library then it uses the connection string from the sql server you have
registered in your IDE and stores it *programmatically* within the
settings designer code. It's because it is a class library and so will
use the configuration from the parent application.
The only way that I know of to override this is to change the
InitConnection method within the dataset designer code to use the
application config connection string from the parent application. This
works, but the obvious problem is that if you then need to change
anything with the adapter from the designer, it will overwrite this
code.
So I guess what you (and I) have to do is wait until right before the
application is to be deployed, and change the InitConnection methods to
use the configuration file settings. This, in my opinion, is not an
acceptable solution, but I'm not sure how else they could implement the
functionality.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
First, thanks for a well 'typed (spoken)' reply. My stored procs use
temp tables for intermediate calcs and things ala CREATE TABLE
#Temp...
I've since seen from another thread that MS KNOWS about this and did
nothing about it. It would appear you can still use the proc in a
dataset, but forget getting a schema in the IDE GUI - it won't read
it. Kind of silly IMHO.
And unfortunately you have confirmed my fear - they let this out the
door without serious consideration for how it works. Why in the world
they would not provide an easy way to override the connection strings
to datasets is beyond me. Wow they dropped the ball on the designer
- I'm a bit suprised seeing as they grabbed Anders from Delphi, which
has excellent designer support for databases work.
Oh well - thanks for the detailed explanation. I really am not happy
with having to remember to swap around the init string in the web
config. I toyed around with trying to manipulate it on the fly, but
it would seem it's completely locked out from programmatic
modification. That would have solved a lot of these issues.
I wonder if DLINQ is going to have the same silly issues. So
close..but these are damn near brick walls. I have zero urge to hand
code all my table objects - such a waste of time.
Thanks again,
Nick

TableAdapters using values

I have created a data access layer, have a datset with several tables. In VB I would like to access a the value of a particular cell, put that value into a variable. I am unsure how to do this. So far I have,

1Imports DataSet1TableAdapters2~~~~~~34Dim testID = Request("tid")56Dim levelAs Integer = 07Dim testsTableAdapterAs New TestsTableAdapter89level = testsTableAdapter.GetTestsByTestID(testID).Rows(0).Table.Columns(1)10

I know that this is incorrect, however I wish to get the value held in row 1 column 2. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Based on my understanding, you want to get the value held in particular cell by DataAdapter. If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to tell me, thanks.

 
Dim constrAs String =""'your connection stringDim connectionAs SqlConnection =New SqlConnection(constr)Dim sqlselAs String ="select * from test"Dim sdaAs SqlDataAdapter =New SqlDataAdapter(sqlsel, connection)Dim dsAs DataSet =New DataSet() sda.Fill(ds,"table")Dim levelAs Integer = ds.Tables("table").Rows(1)(2)
 

 Hope this can help you.

Try this

SqlConnection conn= new SqlConnection("YOUR CONNECTION STRING")
sql = "select * from TableName"
SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, conn)
DataSet DS = new DataSet()

ad.Fill(DS,"TableName") // OR ad.Fill(DS.Tables(0))

Dim lvl As Integer
lvl = (int) DS.Table(0).Rows(1)

thanks for replying.

I was hoping to do it without setting a connection string or inputting SQL into the code. I want the dataset in my DAL to take care of this. Is there any way for the tableadapter to populate a new dataSet?

Please refer to this thread below

tables

I have created a fully functioning website but there is one problem - it comtains 2 tables on the default page which have a gap!

I have entered padding="opx" border="0px" and it hasn't worked??

there is no <br /> between the tables or a nbsp;

help?!!

Can you provide a link to your website?

Try put

For CSS, set the padding to 0 and the MARGIN to 0.

Tables

Newbie here.

I'm hasving trouble with tables in Visual Web Developer Express.

I've set cellspacing and cellpadding to zero, but there's spaces around
objects in my table.

Any idea what's going wrong?Hi

Check whether you have assigned some width for every table cell (<td>),
which is giving you this experience. Try to set the width as zero and see how
it appears.

Where do you see those spaces? In the designer or in the resulting
webpage in the browser?
The designer might show spaces (and borders) to make the layout clear.
If in the browser, check the resulting html code ("view source") to see
if you can find a reason for those spaces there.

tables ;-(

Hello,

I am trying to stop some behavior going on with a table. I have been
using Visual Studio C# 2005.

Basically, the table has certain column widths to start out with. When
data is added to it (and the size of the column is too small), the data
(in this case text) in the column wraps ;-/

How can I keep the data from wrapping? What would be nice is if no
wrapping to place at all and to just be able to adjust the size of
columns manually. You know - where you place the cursor on the boundary
of the column, the cursor changes and then you can lengthen or shorten
the width of the column in order to see more (or less) data.

So, in a nutshell, I would like for the column widths (as well as the
table length and width) to remain the same size as did from the start.
Adjustment of column widths would take place only when using the mouse
;-)

How can I do this?

TIAIm guessing here, but if you think about what the system would need to do in
order to assess the column width Its unlikely that it is going to do it for
you.

In order to assess the column with of any column, one would have to loop
through each cell and get the context, font and size and then measure this
graphically; For each iteration, one would need to adjust the column width
for each lager than previous cell until the end were reached.

If there is no automatic way of doing this then you would have to do this
manually with code.

Other comments ?

Watch out for a too-exact layout, one that is "perfect" on your development machine.
A user might use a different browser, have different installed fonts or uses
by default a font with a different size -> gone is your careful layout!

Hans Kesting
set absolute width and overflow style for each td's content, so it can honor
the width. you would need to write client code to resize the table column
widths (adjust the content widths).

<table border=1>
<tr>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this fits</div></td>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
doesn't fit</div></td>
</tr>
</table

How would one approach the writing of clinet code to support the
widths? Is there any sample code available?

You could easily ammend this code to suit your table control.

tables & rows & columns

I have a table that doesn't line up the way I want it to. I have 6 rows and
3 columns. The 3rd column spans the 6 rows and contains a grid. If the
data in the grid has more than 6 rows of data, the other rows spread out
vertically, as if there is extra space in there. I don't want that to

tables & rows & columns

I have a table that doesn't line up the way I want it to. I have 6 rows and
3 columns. The 3rd column spans the 6 rows and contains a grid. If the
data in the grid has more than 6 rows of data, the other rows spread out
vertically, as if there is extra space in there. I don't want that to
happen, I want the 6 rows to be together as if there is no space between
then. I have tried using height, valign, using a set height and using a
percentage height and it doesn't work. How can I make the 6 rows on the
left align all the way to the top?

Tables and column sizes

What do I have to do to get a column in a table to stay the same size no
matter what is in the other tables?
I've tried setting the width in px, in percentages, and nothing seems to
work; for example, the columns that are colored #cccccc I want to stay the
size of the menu control, which doesn't change.
However, if the column to the right of it, with the ucGeneral and ucDetails
controls, has nothing in it, or something very small, the #cccccc column
spreads out and I don't want it to do that. What's the secret.
<table runat=server bgcolor=white border=0 bordercolor=black height="100%"
width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 ID="Table1">
<tr height="10%" width="100%">
<td colspan=5><uc1:ucHeader id=UcHeader1
runat="server"></uc1:ucHeader></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td bgcolor="#cccccc" rowspan=3 style="WIDTH: 10px"> </td>
<td bgcolor="#cccccc" rowspan=3 style="WIDTH: 10px"><uc1:ucMenu
id=UcMenu1 runat="server"></uc1:ucMenu></td>
<td bgcolor="#cccccc" rowspan=3 style="WIDTH: 10px"> </td>
<td bgcolor="white" rowspan=3> </td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top width="100%"><td valign=top><uc1:ucGeneral id=UcGeneral1

<tr valign=top height="100%" width="100%"><td valign=top><uc1:ucDetails
id=UcDetails1 runat="server"></uc1:ucDetails></td>
</tr>
</table>
Thanks.In the column you want to be fixed, add the "nowrap" option in the TD tag.
For the column to the right, set it's width to 100%.
You could also try putting the contents of the fixed cell in a table of it's
own with a fixed size and aligned either center, left, or right. If the
right
column changes, it won't change how the nested table looks to the user.

tables ;-(

Hello,
I am trying to stop some behavior going on with a table. I have been
using Visual Studio C# 2005.
Basically, the table has certain column widths to start out with. When
data is added to it (and the size of the column is too small), the data
(in this case text) in the column wraps ;-/
How can I keep the data from wrapping? What would be nice is if no
wrapping to place at all and to just be able to adjust the size of
columns manually. You know - where you place the cursor on the boundary
of the column, the cursor changes and then you can lengthen or shorten
the width of the column in order to see more (or less) data.
So, in a nutshell, I would like for the column widths (as well as the
table length and width) to remain the same size as did from the start.
Adjustment of column widths would take place only when using the mouse
;-)
How can I do this?
TIAIm guessing here, but if you think about what the system would need to do in
order to assess the column width Its unlikely that it is going to do it for
you.
In order to assess the column with of any column, one would have to loop
through each cell and get the context, font and size and then measure this
graphically; For each iteration, one would need to adjust the column width
for each lager than previous cell until the end were reached.
If there is no automatic way of doing this then you would have to do this
manually with code.
Other comments ?

Watch out for a too-exact layout, one that is "perfect" on your development
machine.
A user might use a different browser, have different installed fonts or uses
by default a font with a different size -> gone is your careful layout!
Hans Kesting
set absolute width and overflow style for each td's content, so it can honor
the width. you would need to write client code to resize the table column
widths (adjust the content widths).
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this fits</div></td>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
doesn't fit</div></td>
</tr>
</table>

How would one approach the writing of clinet code to support the

You could easily ammend this code to suit your table control.

Tables and Design

I am using a table in grid layout and position my controls where I want them. Does anyone know why when I view it in a browser my controls are not positioned like the way I have them in design view. Some images are overlapping other images.

post your html table code here.

Tables and CSS

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes:
I'm using VS.NET 2003 to create a Web app and have defined a table as
follows:
<table border=3 bordercolordark="#006699" bordercolorlight="lightgrey"
width="100%">
As I'm going to be reusing this style all over the app, I'm trying to
replace it with a style, as follows:
<table class=tblBorder>
and in my stylesheet I have the following definition:
.tblBorder
{
border-style: outset;
border-bottom-color: "#006699";
border-right-color: "#006699";
border-left-color: "lightgrey";
border-top-color: "lightgrey";
border-width: 3;
}
But it doesn't look right. I'm obviously missing something...
Any assistance gratefully received.
Mark RaeHi Mark,
You aren't missing anything. The bordercolorlight and bordercolordark are
rendered differently than CSS styles are so things may not look the same
when applied differently. Also, border in the <table> tag is expressed
differently than border-width is in CSS (border-width in CSS can take
different measurement units including pt, px, em, etc). You will have to toy
around with your CSS settings to get them closer to what the browser
actually renders if those values were supplied in the tag.

Tables automatically resizes

I am using a nested table to control different elements of my layout.
The problem I have is that I create the outer table and set the size
properties to what I want them to be, then, if I put another table
into the first cell, when I resize that nested table, it automatically
resizes the other cells also. If I do the same type of thing in
Dreamweaver, this doesn't happen. Is there a setting of some sort in
..NET that I can turn off to prevent this from happening?

Here is the html code for the table. Sorry about the formatting.
It is the tblMenuBar table, that when I resize it, vertically, resizes
the other cells in the outer table.

<body class="BasePage" bottomMargin="0" leftMargin="0" topMargin="0"
rightMargin="0">
<form id="frmLogin" method="post" runat="server">
<TABLE id="tblBase" height="100%" cellSpacing="0" cols="4"
cellPadding="0" width="1000" border="0">
<TR>
<TD class="MenuBar" width="177" rowSpan="3">
<TABLE id="tblMenuBar" height="100%" cellSpacing="1"
cellPadding="1" width="177" border="1">
<TR>
<TD height="50" width="100%">
<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1"
runat="server">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
<td class="FormSpacer" width="22" bgColor="#ffffff"
rowSpan="3"></td>
<td class="PageHeader" vAlign="top" align="middle" width="601"
style="HEIGHT: 0.64in">
<uc1:pageheader id="PageHeader" runat="server"></uc1:pageheader>
</td>
<td class="FormSpacer" width="200" rowSpan="3"></td>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD class="WorkSpace" vAlign="top">
<div align="center">
<asp:hyperlink id="hplSecureSession" runat="server"
NavigateUrl="https://statslink.streck.com/">Click here for SECURE
INTERNET SESSION</asp:hyperlink>
</div>
<DIV align="center" class="WorkSpace" noWrap>
</DIV>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<td class="PageFooter" height="50">
<uc1:pagefooter id="PageFooter" runat="server"></uc1:pagefooter>
</td>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</form>
</body
Thank you!
KalvinGive tblBase a specific height of 50.

Give tblMenuBar a specific height of 50, as well as the first cell in the
first row of tblMenuBar; give it a height of 50 too.

In fact, for anything that shouldn't be taller than 50 pixels, give anything
involved in it a hard-coded height of 50.

Avoid putting anything taller than 50 pixes in the cells of tblMenuBar.

This may or may not fix your problem, but it's good practice to be very
specific with tables when you need them to behave in a precise manner.

Tables Asp.Net Visible property

Hi guys,
im having serious trouble with my tables in asp.net. i inherited a
system that allowed me to set my tables visble property to true and
false. When i try and create a table using html i do not have that
property.
does anyone know of a different way to create a table '
the system i inherited with the visible property in the tables uses
the following in the top part of the code -
system.web.ui.htmlcontrols.htmltable
is this the reason for the extra property '
my tables dont seem to have this in the code.
thanks
CGHy,
put an asp:panel around your table and you can set the visible property.
<asp:panel id="pan" runat="server">
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</asp:panel>

You can operate with css rules display and visibility.
