Hi,
I need to generate menus at runtime for a sample Windows application. I'm using vs.net winforms with c#.
Every user in the application does not have access to all menu options, so the menu items being displayed is as per user login.
I need to generate the form code at run-time. Any info you can provide OR links about this particular topic will be very helpful and appreciated with a zillion thanx...
It seems i need to following at runtime...
1) Retrieve data from the sql database about the menu options available to the current user
2) Declare each Menu item
private System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu mainMenu1;
private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItem1;
...
2) Initialize each menu item
this.mainMenu1 = new System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu();
this.menuItem1 = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();
...
3) Declare Menu Collections - add list of menuitems
this.mainMenu1.MenuItems.AddRange(new
System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem[] {
this.menuItem1,
this.menuItem5});
...
4) Define each Menu Item
i.e. specify Index, Shortcut Key, Text (with hotkey) and declare eventhandler for each Menu item
this.menuItem2.Index = 0;
this.menuItem2.Shortcut=
System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut.CtrlN;
this.menuItem2.Text = "&New";
this.menuItem12.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.menuItem12_Click);
5) Assign the menu to Form as the current menu
this.Menu= mainMenu1;
Hope u guys will be keen to help. Thanx in advance.
Sunny.

What I usually do, is build the whole menu in the application. Then, when the user login in the application, I get an arraylist with all the menu options. After that, I execute a loop on the array list, and turn of all the options the user doesn't have access.
May be that could help you
Free your mind...

Hi Guillermo,
Thanx for your post. Your method seems to make much, much more sense than what i was trying to do. I just checked out the help files - i can either disable a menuitem or hide it completely.
>> menuitem3.enabled=false; // to disable a menuitem
>> menuitem3.Visible=false; // to hide a menuitem
I'll try out your method. Hope u can guide me, if i get stuck somewhere. Thanx a lot again.
Sunny

Concurrency violation: the UpdateCommand affected 0 records.
I get this error when I try to call Update() on an SqlDataAdapter using a DataSet which has been changed by another class. I've checked that the UpdateCommand.CommandText is properly set, all the parameters have the right SourceColumns, and that the DataSet has actually been changed. So what else could it be?
I'd post some code up here but since all those things are working OK I don't know where the error would be. Has anyone else solved this problem before? It's really baffling me.

I believe it means that someone has modified the underlying data from how it was before the data set was modified.
The DataSet object remembers what your original selection was. It then compares the rows in the data source to that original version, and if they've changed, it throws an exception rather than perform the update. This is to allow you to resolve the conflict between the change you're trying to make and the change that has already been made.
I seem to recall that there was an article in MSDN Magazine or on MSDN Online recently, but I can't seem to find it.

Hey, I think I found the article you mean. It didn't really apply to me since I'm not using the command builder, but it did point me in the right direction - I had to call GetChanges or else it wouldn't let me update at all (even though I know for a fact that the records couldn't have been changed). Still calling GetChanges (or refilling the dataset, my original tactic but an expensive one) makes the exception go away.
|

This may or may not relate to you situation, but I got the same exception when I had the wrong number of parameters added to my Update command using the OleDbDataAdapter. If you remove fields from the CommandText, but don't remove the related parameter from the commands ParameterCollection, it'll throw this exception for some strange reason. I would have thought it would just ignore the extra parameters, but it doesn't.
|

Thanks for your reply. I solved the problem - I just had to call GetChanges and get a new set before it would let me update. There are certainly a lot of quirks in this system! I'll keep your tip in mind if I get that error again - I can't imagine what you must have gone through to work it out.

I have a batch file where I am put a file into ftp site. The problem is that my file name are changing every day. How do I supply this file into batch file?
Or is any other way to do this?
open ftp.site
user test
pass test
lcd C:\
cd ..
put test.txt
bye
|
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of possible solutions:
1. Create a simple program that creates a fresh FTP script each day. Example BAT file:
@echo off<br />
echo open ftp.site > myftpscript.txt<br />
echo user test >> myftpscript.txt<br />
echo etc >> myftpscript.txt<br />
echo put %%1 >> myftpscript.txt<br />
echo bye >> myftpscript.txt<br />
ftp -n -s:myftpscript.txt
2. Use "mput *.txt" instead of "put test.txt" to transfer all matching files from your source directory.
Hope this helps.
Andy
PS: This was probably the wrong forum to post this question to.

anyone knows where can I get a Beta version of this enterprise server??!!
nevhile.net
|
|
|
|

There's a very small beta program at the moment; the SQL Server team normally does three betas, at 100, 1000 and 5000 customer sites.
Beg nicely at http://www.betaplace.com/[^].
Bear in mind that the CLR functionality (writing stored procedures and functions in .NET languages) is yet to be fully set in stone.
If you go along to the PDC[^] there might be a hand-out of Yukon beta code.

Hello folks, I have been traversing the net for information on this particular thing I want to have happen:
1. Execute a FROM XML EXPLICIT SQL Server 2000 query to get an XML document, which lists users per role, eg.
<Role role_id="1" role_name="administrator">
<User user_id="1" user_login="admin"/>
<User user_id="2" user_login="drikusr"/>
</Role>
2. This result is read into a Dataset (C#), eg.
objXMLReader = (XmlTextReader)objCommand.ExecuteXmlReader();
objDataSet.ReadXml(objXMLReader, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);
3.I seem able to easily manipulate the dataset when employing the following code:
strXmlDocument = (objDataSet.GetXml());
this.xmlObject.Document.LoadXml(strXmlDocument); Which enables the XML document to be read into a string variable, ie. strXmlDocument
On the other hand, synchronizing the Dataset with an XMLDataDocument, eg.
xmlDoc = new XmlDataDocument(objDataSet); and loading a transformation, eg.
XslTransform xslTran = new XslTransform();
xslTran.Load(xsltPath);
upon which the following code is executed:
stringWriter = new StringWriter();
xmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(stringWriter);
xmlWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xmlWriter.Indentation = 2;
xslTran.Transform(xmlDoc,null,xmlWriter,null);
this.txtFormattedXML.Text = stringWriter.ToString();
stringWriter.Close();
xmlWriter.Close();
returns an XSLT processed XML document, but with the actual data missing, which was read from the database.
For example:
The first set of commands produce this XML document that has the Role data included:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<NewDataSet><Role role_id="1" role_name="administrator">
<User user_id="1" user_login="admin"></User>
<User user_id="2" user_login="drikusr"></User>
</Role></NewDataSet>
The XMLDataDocument and XSLT transform (with missing data) results in:
<html xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css_stylesheets/netLc_Styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Has anyone done an end-to-end FOR XML EXPLICIT to ADO.Net solution and hence manipulated the XML (all in memory) displaying it on the UI and getting back changes which are written to the Database by ADO.Net?
All the examples on the net keep stuffing around with XML documents located on the file system and every single "FOR XML EXPLICIT" and ADO.Net example (usually the same one re-hashed on different sites  ) stop short at the Dataset, with no client rendering.
As you might be able to tell, I don't have a lot of .Net experience, so I may be overlooking the obvious.
Your help is appreciated!
Regards
Drikus

Well, I sort of got this resolved. After reading volumes on the synchronisation of the Dataset and XMLDataDocument (andapplying XSLT, for an SQL Server FOR XML EXPLICIT query), I have conluded that the XMLDataDocument is not the way to go.
Instead, after executing the stored porcedure (which gets the Explicit XML result), eg.
objXMLReader = (XmlTextReader)objCommand.ExecuteXmlReader();
and reading the result into a Dataset, eg.
objDataSet.ReadXml(objXMLReader, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);
rather create an XPathDocument, eg.
myXPathDocument = new XPathDocument(objXMLReader, XmlSpace.Preserve);
and load the XSLT transformation, eg.
XslTransform xslTran = new XslTransform();
xslTran.Load(xsltPath);
then perfrom the transformation and output both the HTML result, as well as the HTML code to web objects for display, eg.
stringWriter = new StringWriter();
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(stringWriter);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.Indentation = 2;
writer.QuoteChar = '\'';
xslTran.Transform(myXPathDocument,null,writer,null);
writer.Close();
this.txtFormattedXML.Text = stringWriter.ToString();
this.lblHTMLOutput.Text = stringWriter.ToString();
The quest has but begun...

In nutshell, there is DataTable within DataSet. One of DataTable's columns is expression-based. Afer I tried to update database (via use DataAdapter.Update(DataTable)), following exception occured:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.VersionNotFoundException' occurred in system.data.dll
Additional information: There is no Original data to access.
HELP!

Try writing yourself the Update command for the DataAdapter, omitting the calculated column...

Hi,
Environment of web application is: Windows 2000/VB.NET/ASP.NET/SQL 2000
I am passing an XML to the sproc and reading it using OPENXML. There is a date value coming as one of the parameters. Sometimes, the date can be blank.
Now how can I use CASE..END in WITH section to decide, if its a blank then use NULL else pass the incoming date? See the following scenario.
Select *
from OPENXML (@idoc,'/TaskDetail',1)
with
(
ClosedDate smalldatetime 'ClosedDate',
)
Please advice.
Thanks

I have a c# application that does frequent checks to the database to see if a status flag in a table has changed.
After the query, I close the connection and command objects with
connection.Close() and
command.Dispose()
If I look at the current activity in SQL Server, I see each of these queries as sleeping processes that just continue to accumulate. What am I missing that keeps these processes around after the query completes?
If it makes a difference, I am using MSDE.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce

Hi!
I am using sql server 2000. How do I make my DB case sensitive without reinstalling sql server 2k?
Please help me on this.
"To teach is to learn twice"

Reinstalling won't help. You bought the wrong product. You should have purchased SQL Server 2K.

If you just want to change a single database, you need to run an ALTER DATABASE query, e.g.
ALTER DATABASE mydb
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CS_AS This only alters the new default and how object names are interpreted; you'll need to alter any existing tables as well.
If you need to change the default collation of the database server (including the tempdb database), you should run the rebuildm tool. See also KB article 273572[^] about a problem with this tool when the source files are read-only. rebuildm lives in the 80\Tools\binn directory under the SQL Server install directory.
Note that rebuildm and setup use 'friendly' names for the collations, whereas Enterprise Manager and queries use a different naming convention. The names used in setup are listed in Selecting a SQL Collation[^], while the names used in queries may be found under SQL Collation Names[^].
There are two types of collations: those implemented using the Windows national language support functions (Windows collations) and those implemented independently by SQL Server (SQL collations). SQL collations have names beginning SQL.

I have an update string like this:
<br />
UPDATE pms_tools_tasks SET Status='ToDo',Assigned='kluch',Priority='2',Title='Anything',Descript='No',Notes='Just Work',CreateDate=NULL,CompleteDate=NULL,Project='',TicketBased='0',TicketID='0',UserUpdate='',Private='0' WHERE ID=7<br />
Which works fine, But if a user enters any text with an apostrophe like for instance "doesn't work" in the title field. The update no longer executes successfully. What can I do about this?
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know 100% true for mySQL but in most databases, doubling the character tells the database to use the apostrophe as a character rather than the string terminator.
You might explore escape characters as well. Take a look at the docs because you'll want to take into account any of the characters the database treats as "special". Some are treated by doubling the occurrence of the character but others may require an escape character.
