Re: C# Sql calling function - SELECT from two diffrent Sql folders

The JOIN syntax doesn't look like that:

SQL

SELECT a.columnName, b.ColumnName 
FROM MyTable a
INNER JOIN MyOtherTable b
ON a.ID == b.MyTableID

I'm really not sure exactly what you are trying to do - your description doesn't make a lot of sense, and we have no access to your data or the relationships between your tables - so start here: SQL Joins[^] and if you can't work it out, give us sample data for your tables, and show what result you expect and why.

Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.

Thanks that's a good help. But when you are referring to tables I do not know what that would be since -
- I have two diffrent cs files, each file has 2 classes "public 1 ,
public 2). Within those to classes I now have the "myTable a"
and "myTable b". So I first have to refer to the cs. file, than
the class, than the "myTable b" or "myTable a" which im unsure how
to.
So the tables are not created in the same cs file thus when using
SELECT how do i tell c# to go to the class, than the
- When referring to table, you would refer to the SQL table that you
have created i.e. sql file name is "myTable a"?

Thanks for your patience!

You don't use SQL for classes - SQL is for querying data direct from a DB: it's the source from which you get your data to populate your class instances! And the DB is external to your app, and often managed by a different app altogether: SQL server.

I think you need to sit back and rethink how you are managing data in this app - you don't seem to have quite worked out what gets stored where and how it gets loaded into what, when.

You're welcome!

It's worth considering breaking your app into three parts (either logically or physically using three projects in one solution) to separate what they are doing: Presentation (user interface in and out), Business Logic (the rules and classes that process them), and Data (access to the DB and / or other storage)
That way, you make a more "rigid" interface between the parts of your application, which makes it easier to understand and maintain later.

I have a problem. I'm trying to get just a company Name from the database and place them in the listbox and when selecting the name the program would show the org. number and notes in text boxes next to the listbox (and later to be able to delete, add and edit companies). I'm already stuck in showing data in the listbox. I'm getting this error "listBoxOrg.Items.Add((tempRow["Name"]));" -->"Argument 1: cannot convert from 'object' to 'string'. I'm pretty new to this so I don't know how to solve it. Is the code all crap or what am I missing? Been wondering also if my database adress is correctly done.. Anyone that can help me out?

This is my code so far:

using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Configuration;

    {
        public static ArrayList Files = new ArrayList();
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string str = "Data Source=BIG-BAD-WOLF-CO\\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=15;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True;ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite;MultiSubnetFailover=False";

            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(str);
            string com = "select Name from Companies";
            SqlDataAdapter adpt = new SqlDataAdapter(com, con);
            DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
            adpt.Fill(myDataSet, "Companies");
            DataTable myDataTable = myDataSet.Tables[0];
            
            DataRow tempRow = null;

            foreach (DataRow tempRow_Variable in myDataTable.Rows)
            {
                tempRow = tempRow_Variable;
                
                listBoxOrg.Items.Add((tempRow["Name"]));

First off, to identify what your problem is, we need to know exactly where in that code the error is being reported. This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do. Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.

Second, your connections string looks OK for yoru dev system - but we have no idea if it works as we have no access to your system to check. But it's unlikely to work in the real world, as it uses integrated security and SQLEXPRESS, and that's unlikely to be the case once you leave your dev machine.
You can try looking here: Simple SQL Connection String Creation[^] which will help you test it.

Third, Connection strings should never be hard coded: you should load them from the web.config file and keep separate web.config files for prod and dev.

Why not just use the DataTable as the DataSource for the ListBox?

Hi! Thanks for answering. Like I said I'm pretty new... actually extremely new to this. Yeah I guess I was pretty unclear with the question. The error shows in the end:

listBoxOrg.Items.Add((tempRow["Name"]));

My Visual Studio 2015 gives that.

This is a work I'm doing for my own "company" and everything I've tried is from educational videos. I thought it just would be a fun thing to know how to do. I've mostly written html and done a bit of java programming. I just can't understand why this works for them in the videos and not for me.

I've tested the connection and it works.

Umm sorry for a stupid question but what do mean with using the DataTable as the DataSource for the ListBox?

Rather than answering your questions, can I make a suggestion?
"Picking it up as you go" is a bad way to learn anything, particularly when it's as complicated as a new language and / or framework. And trying to learn by looking at Java code and assuming it's the same in C# is just not going to work well at all! For example, ArrayList is fine in Java, but it was supperceded in .NET back in 2005 and certainly shouldn't be used for new projects - the type safe List<T> and other Generic Collections should be.
But learning as you are, you don;t know that, and probably aren't even aware that Generics exist, much less the specifics of List<T>, Queue<T>, and so on.

Get a book - Addison Wesley, Wrox, and MS Press all do excellent ones, and there is also the free Yellow Book[^] which will at least touch the basics.
All of them will introduce you to better ways of handling data that you are currently using, and will make your life a whole load easier in future!

Going on a course is an even better method - if you don't understand something the tutor can try different ways to explain, which books can't.

The worse way to learn is via YouTube videos. Most of them are created by people who have no idea how to make a video, how to teach, and in the majority of cases know little more about the subject that the people watching them ... There are good ones out there, but it's really hard to find the quality items in a sea of dross.

listBoxOrg.Items.Add((tempRow["Name"]));

The message implies that tempRow["Name"] does not return a valid string (and we know it returns an object*), so you could try

listBoxOrg.Items.Add((tempRow["Name"].ToString()));

That actually did work (atleast the debugger won't whine about it anymore) but I'm getting a new error at:

adpt.Fill(myDataSet, "Companies");

"An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Invalid object name 'Companies'."

I have created a database with two tables: Companies and Stores. So Companies exists.

Again, documentation... DataAdapter.Fill Method (System.Data.Common) | Microsoft Docs[^]

If you're going to fill a DataSet object, your 'myDataSet', you also need to supply a string next, which you did, but you also have to supply an IDataReader, and a couple of integers.

Don't. You don't need it. Just get rid of the "Companies" string.

Yes, but that code won't even compile, much less run.
And if it did run, it wouldn't do what you wanted.
What is e?
Why are you testing an Event? They aren't bools!

Stop guessing, and look at your course notes: you should have covered dynamic label creation, and if they haven'y then you need to learn what to do properly.

As a suggestion, create a new project with a form. In the designer, add a label, and add handlers for the MouseDown, MouseUp, and Move Events. Then fill in those event handlers so that you can move the label around on your form.

When that works, look at your form.desigtner.cs file (go to your form constructor code and right click the call to InitializeComponent , then select "Go To Definition" and it's take you to the right place in the right file).
Look at what it does to create the label - that's the code you need to start thinking about.

Give it a try - it's not really complicated, it just takes a little thinking about instead of guessing and hoping! Laugh | :laugh:
