I have a small problem that I am sure is due mostly to my inexperience with threading. I have used simple entirely self-contained threads before, but not to a great extent.

We have an assignment to create some XML outputs from data in SAP R/3. We are using SAP .NET Connector, for doing this. The problem we are facing is that there are some fields which are not exposed by any standard BAPI. Unfortunately we cannot create customized BAPI on this particular system.
We are therefore restricted to whatever standard BAPI are available. I have seen on internet that tools like ERPConnect can provide access to tables directly using RFC. How can this be performed in VB, without purchasing any such tool, using or without using .NET Connector.

View 8 RepliesI have a combobox that is bound to a BindingSource that contains a custom object with multiple Properties.
Is there a way to access a Datamember that is not displayed in the combo box and display it elsewhere. For example, When a user selects a name from the combo box, texboxes (or Labels) populate with Title, PHone, email, etc. All of this data is loaded in the custom object that is bound to the datasource so the info has already been pulled from the db and is in memory.

say you have a database that you want to store 100 different recipes in. Out of that 100 recipes 20 have 5 ingredients, 30 have 7 ingredients, 30 have 4 ingredients and 20 have 6 ingredients. So what's the best practice for storing an unknown number of items in a database?
Currently what I am doing in these situations is storing them in a single field in a database separated by a comma. Then when I have to retrieve them I split them by the comma into an array. This doesn't seem right to me but I haven't noticed an impact on speed or efficiency, so what would be the best practice to handle this situation?
How do I handle user submitted data to ensure best practice programming? I would like to know what are the best practice programming tasks in relation to users submitting data through a web form to a website. I am particularly interested in any C# or VB.NET commands that should be used through out the process from the moment the user hits the submit button until the data hits the database. I have been reading about reasons why you may want to take precautions such as SQL injections etc.
View 4 RepliesWhat is the standard method for accessing back end data, which logon should you use? For example we have applications that require the user to login but then use an admin account to access the data from the backend.But there are also applications that require the user to login and use those credentials to access the backend data.We are in the process of creating an application that will require the user to login and would like to implement the more common method(standard practice) of accessing data.If there are alternatives those are also welcome.This will be made in ASP.Net 3.5 or higher and may include Windows Applications(VB.Net) as well.I dont want to have two sets of credentials. What I am asking is which credentials are normally used to access the Database. For example one one application may access 2 or more database's. Now would you use the same credentials they used to login to the application or would you use the admin account to access the data?Maybe this should be a seperate question but if I ended up using integrated security to access the database would the user be able to simply connect to the database using his AD account? Either through an ODBC connection and MS Access or equiv.

View 14 RepliesI am converting old VB6 code to VB.NET with ADO.NET (OleDB). This is my query that will create a blank table when ran in VB.NET, but then works when ran directly in Access. This code presumably also works in VB6, as I am using the same SQL:
SELECT qryAsOf.name, qryAsOf.type, 0 as opt, 0 as swap
INTO qryCon
FROM qryAsOf
LEFT JOIN qryLinked on qryAsOf.c = qryLinked.lc
I feel like this has something to do with the left join and select into being together, but like I said it is only VB that has an issue with it, Access handles it perfectly.Without the INTO line, this query returns all 600+ rows.
This DOES NOT WORK:
cm.CommandText = "CREATE TABLE qryCon (etc...)"
cm.ExecuteNonQuery()
cm.CommandText = "INSERT INTO qryCon SELECT ..." '(rest of query above without INTO line)
cm.ExecuteNonQuery
This DOES WORK:
cm.CommandText = "CREATE PROC qryCon AS SELECT ..." '(same select as above without INTO, again)
cm.ExecuteNonQuery
The CREATE PROC that does work is fine, except I need to insert data into it later, so I get errors about how I need an updatable table. I really want the end qryCon to be a table, but I can't seem to get that to work :(
*However, when I do something like this (using the stored proc (renamed) above which, if viewed in Access, is full of data)
cm.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM storedProc"
dr = cm.ExecuteReader

This DOES NOT WORK! By the way, I removed the concatenation in the query for readability. It is correct in the actual project.

I've encountered a problem which challenges my understanding of access modifiers in VB.Net. I have a class declared Friend. If I declare its properties Public, the application works. If I declare them Friend, the application fails.
Before this, I believed that, in a class declared Friend, it would make no functional difference whether I declared the members Public or Friend. I thought class access declarations applied their restrictions to all nested entities, so nested properties declared Public were effectively restricted as if they had been declared Friend. Obviously, I was wrong. Can anyone explain how access modifiers really work, or point me to the relevant documentation?
Here is a more detailed description of the situation: I have a Friend class called StripTask with properties called StripDate, HistorianDate, and TaskText. I have a collection of StripTasks (called _StripTasks) which is used as the data source for a Syncfusion GridDataBoundGrid. The way the binding works, I need to pass the name of a StripTask property to each of the grid columns so each column knows what data to display. It ends up looking something like this:_DataBoundGrid.GridBoundColumns(1).MappingName = "StripDate". When the mapped properties are declared Public, it works. When the mapped properties are declared Friend, the grid is populated with the correct number of rows, but every cell is empty.
As a follow-up question, is it a good idea to avoid things, such as this Syncfusion binding method, which require me to pass property names as strings? It just feels as if I'm inviting trouble.
I'm a newbie to this forum and want to make sure I don't muck things up and irritate everyone as tends to occasionally happen in some forums.I have a very solid background in MS Access (I use it as a front end to an Oracle database and use DAO methods to create native Oracle statements via pass through queries).

I've used .NET for a long time but I've never really been sure of this warning :-"Access of a shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated"Whilst this is not causing an issue and I've not really experienced this problem a lot with my own code, converting some code from an old .NET project gives 10's of these errors.
