Your problem is not how to deal with the error, the problem is what is the CAUSE of the error. There is no excuse for primary key violation and it is up to the developer to make sure the exception cannot arise in the normal flow of the program.

I suspect you are inserting instead of updating a record.

You're right in that - but the OP didn't have a primary key violation he had a unique constraint violation - which is legitimate.
For example, I am adding new products each of which has a unique id (maybe a GUID or an integer) which will be the primary key.
But the product also requires a human-readable Code - which is also required to be unique.
At some point the user needs to type in the code for a new product - you can check the DB at this point, and tell them to go ahead. Meanwhile another user can try to use the same code, pass the 'does it exist' test, and attempt a commit.
Whoever gets there first will be fine, the 2nd person's commit will fail.

Ok I missed that mainly b/c I make no distinction between the 2 constraints, if that scenario existed then I would still do a select on the code field before inserting and feed the result back to the user. In the case of your new product I would return the record/info on the product entered by the first commit.
I admit there is a potential for a conflict on a really high volume system but I have yet to meet such a system.

Welcome to my world!
Imagine, if you will, something like a public facing web site that requires registration using a user name (rather than an email address which reduces but doesn't eliminate the problem).

I can just about see the latency issue getting into it there, I would think even that would need to be a fairly high volume system. Have you ever tracked the number of constraint violations?
I think I'll stick to my corporate systems and stay hidden behind the firewall thank you!

Catch it and interpret it -- which database engine?

hey guys thanks for all your replies
i use MsSql 2008 express..and i tried something like that
try
{
dr[j] = xnl.Item(i).ChildNodes[j].InnerText;
}
catch(SqlException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("This Record is already exist");
}
but still on the screen it shows the same error which is shown in Sql screen
and sometimes it gives error like object reference not set to an instance of an object in that line
dr[j] = xnl.Item(i).ChildNodes[j].InnerText;
what is wrong here.i read a Xml file over website and put it in a datatable is it because it cannot connect that site ?

In this case, I'd suspect that xml.Item(i) doesn't have any child nodes, so attempting to do anything with it would cause a problem.

I think exception try..catch.. can only save you from this trouble.
Just use Try and Catch SqlException.
And check the detail in SqlException,If it Contains word 'UNIQUE' then you'll get sure that the exception is regarding UNIQUE Key Constrain and further more you can notify to users with a formatted message.
That's not a big deal.

And what do you do when you deploy it onto a localised version of SQL Server, say the Japanese version?

Hi,
how to change (override) selected (highlighted)listviewitem background color in listview control.
|
|
|
|

Subclass the control and handle the OnPaint method. Or use WPF and apply a template.
I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

You could use THIS[^] for complete information about parsing PDF file.
Underneath that page you will find one link which will redirect to our own Codeproject article and that is THIS[^].
Hope this will make you clear about your doubt regarding PDF parsing.

Dear Friends,
I need to add a customized DateTime picker control onto my webpage. As in my database table; the data is being stored in the following format:- "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm" so the user needs to select the date and time in the following format only in order to get the correct data from the database.
But I am not able to make such control. Could anyone help me out, how should i proceed with making this control?

As far as I understand your question, You don't need to make such a custom control to display value in format you want. there's inbuilt property in DateTime Picker control of Custom format you can set custom format as you want accordingly.
See this MSDN[^] Article for more detail.
Regards,
Hiren.

You should never store a date, a time or a datetime as a string if there are alternatives. Most databases do have some kind of date or datetime field type, so use it. A database cares about storing data, not formatting it; your app must deal with formatting data when presented to the user.
This[^] little article may tell you more about datetime type.

I have two pieces of advice for you:
1.
I would suggest you select, buy and study an introductory book on C#. You have been asking a number of pretty elementary questions lately, reading a book would teach you much more in a shorter time. Visit a book store (if none around, look at Amazon), and get to it.
2.
Learn to help yourself, use Google and MSDN. Operations on files are most likely handled by the File class. Maybe WriteAllText() is your friend. Look them up, read about it, and try.
