I have a 'user' table, a 'phone number' table and a 'user to phone number map' table. The phone number table stores only unique phone numbers. This way I can take a look at a phone number and see who is using it easily. It is also easy to check if a phone number exists when the user is edited. The question is how I should be checking to see if the phone number should be added to the map. I could loop over the loaded mapped users and check each id. There must be a method that I can use to check like EdmUser.phone_number_map.contains(PhoneNumber). However I cant find anything like this.
I'm trying to check if a LINQ Entity exists in its table, but at design time I dont know what type that entity is. So I figure I'll just get the table, and try the Contains method on it. But I cant get the table in such a way that I can query it at design time.I've tried the GetTable method on the datacontext, but I dont know how to cast it to the appropriate type when using GetTable(Of). GetTable(Type) works, I just use Entity.GetType(), but then I don't know how to query the ITable thats returned.To try and cast the ITable to something useable, I created an interface(IWhatever) that could implement properties that are native to all of my entities I would encounter.

I have a form i have made to calculate angles, well, I have now added a check box to reverse the angle and have got it to reverse with no problems. The problem I have is, when I uncheck the checkbox, The line doesnt revert back to normal posistion.Here is the code if someone could point me in the right direction cause I am lost now.
The other night i was reading an article on preventing reverse engineering and i found out that you can check to see if their has been a break point that has been added into your applicaiton.How would i check if their has been a break point added?
I'm trying to build a new customer data entry page for a db project. One of the features I would like to add is a way to check and see if there have been any new records that have been added that haven't been explicitly saved to the db. If so, when the form_closing events fires I want to evaluate whether or not new entries have been made that weren't saved, and then count the number of rows that haven't been saved.
I am trying to build a survey engine from an existing database design which is like this.
[Code]...
The line Order By Key.RecordOrder throws a null reference exception and I can understand why. Can someone advise on how to resolve this by just modifying this one query? I am fairly new to LINQ and the necessity to write this project
I want to update an entity without loading the entity from the database first. I've accomplished this but only by knowing all of the entities properties and then using the "attachto" method. My issues is i don't want my app to need to remember all of the properties. Example:
Entity Splitting: one class, two or more tables.Here is how it is done in C#, but I need to get it working in vb.net.One more thing: the class name and table columns do not match, so I have to be able to map that out, too.I have to get this to work this way because the place I'm working at right now is a vb.net only shop and the database schema is fubar, but they have so much (millions) of lines of code done directly against the database in both asp classic, vb.net, AND asp.net webforms that changing the schema right now is not realistically possible.
I am trying to jump from ASP Classic to asp.net. I have followed tutorials to get Entity Framework and LINQ to connect to my test database, but I am having difficulties figuring out ExecuteQuery(). I believe the problem is that I need an "entity class" for my database, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here is my simple code:
Dim db as New TestModel.TestEntity Dim results AS IEnumerable(OF ???) = db.ExecuteQuery(Of ???)("Select * from Table1")
From the microsoft example site, they use an entity class called Customers, but I don't understand what that means.
I am trying to create a generic typed class, but am running into a problem. Here is my basic class definition:
public class QueueObject<T> where T : System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.Entity { public string LoadingMessage { get; set; } public System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.EntityQuery<T> Query { get; set; } }
I am trying to add instances of this class to a queue
This doesn't work. I get an error saying that QueueObject cannont be converted to QueueObject. I don't understand because MyEntity inherits from Entity.
Public Class QueueObject(Of T As System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.Entity) Public Property LoadingMessage As String Public Property Query As System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.EntityQuery(Of T) End Class
I have a program that adds controls on the fly to an auto-scroll panel. When the panel is scrolled (viewing the bottom of the panel for example) and a control is added, it looks like it is added assuming the top left corner of the panel is still at 0,0 when in fact it may be 0,500. To see what I am talking about, create an empty "Windows Forms Application" project and insert the below code into it.
Friend WithEvents Panel1 As System.Windows.Forms.Panel Friend WithEvents btnAdd As System.Windows.Forms.Button Dim ButtonCount As Integer
i have multiple forms in a project and all have statusbar. there is no way to add textbox on status bar but in my previous thread i got the help to add the text box. i created a function in module so that i call that function from all the forms on load and add the textbox on status bar and also add the event on textchange. the function to be called on event change is in individual form (at present)[code]

I have a datatable property called prpParametersTable in a class called clsBatch. I have a procedure that sets a datatable variable called dtP equal to prpParametersTable at the beginning of the procedure. I then add three new columns to dtP.Here is my problem. When I add the three new columns to dtP my original table prpParametersTable also gets those columns added to it, why? I only want to add the three columns to dtP and not prpParametersTable. How can I do that?
Private Function prvfnc_InsertBatchParameters(ByRef cnn As SqlConnection, ByRef trans As SqlTransaction) As String ' set new columns that have BatchID, Insert DateTime, and UserID for the SQLBulkCopy method below Dim clm As DataColumn Dim dtP As DataTable = clsBatch.prpParametersTable
so i made a from with in it a WebBrowser now i added a Toolstripmenu and added some text in the toolstripmenu how can i make it that when i click in the toolstrip menu to go to an web browser
Private Sub World30ToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles World30ToolStripMenuItem.Click End Sub
i thought it was something like call webbrowser but it didnt work out
My company is tossing around the idea of using the Entity Framework when it comes out with .NET 4. We are currently a VB.NET shop, but have some interest in switching to C#.Is there any major arguments for or against such a move?Does EF with C# hold any advantages in performance, coding ease, etc over VB.NET?
I am trying to insert a record into a table using Linq but get the dreaded Cannot add an entity with a key that is already in use error 'If the same data exists for the same patient in a record less that 21 days old then drop it
I am a newbie. I have been able to Add new entities where there is a One-To-Many Relation. I am having a problem (don't Know how to do it) adding a new Entity when the relation is using Many-To-Many. In my EDM I have:
I downloaded the VB 2010 Express software, the total files that we included in the download was 15, but it only loaded up 12 of these files. The following downloads did not get loaded as follows:MS Visual Studio 2010 ADO.NET Entity Framework Tools
MS HelpViewe 1.0 x64
I tried reinstalling the downloads that did not using the VB Express 2010 setup, but they do no appear on the list of downloads, only the SP1 for MS SQL Server 2008 Express Server (x64).Do I require the downloads that did not load.
Public Class Account Public Property AccountId As integer Public Property AccountDescription As String Public Property Transactions As List(Of Transaction) End Class
[Code]...
i would like to make it suc that when i do "db.Account.find(1)" for example it also loads in the list of all transactions which have the coresponding AccountId. I'm not too sure what type of relationship this is?? anyway, right now i can do
Dim acct As Account = db.Account.Find(1) acct.Transactions = from ts in db.transactions select ts where ts.AccountId = acct.accountid but i know this is not the correct way, there must be a way to map this out so that entity can just load everything in one shot right?
We have a CRM which contains a memebr entity as the most important entity in the system. The thing is that it has too many attribute in it which makes it unnormalized. here are the attributes:
I have one question about EF. If I understand correctly EF does not support Contains. I try to achieve this: I have column(nvarchar) with this: for ex.row1. 1;3;4;5,row2. 3;4;6 row3.7;8;16 etc.I have list(of string) with 1,6. My goal is to get row1 and row2 in result set.I try with linq to entity and with linq to sql but i can't get this right.
I am used to using datasets for my projects in terms of data access. I now set myself an easy app to work on in order to learn the entity data framework and how to retrieve & manipulate data.Can anyone guide me through on where to start, what are the advantages of this model, In what scenarios should I choose to use entity framework and what are the things (basis) I should now before starting.My datasets are working fine too. Are there any reasons for me not to stick with that way of accessing data? Or is this something to consider depending on the users of the website (for speed purposes etc.)
If I a many-to-many relationship between Users and Roles and I have an instance of a User entity and several Role Ids can I insert a relationship between the two types of entities without having any other Role data and without doing a select on the Roles first? Update:
I might not have been clear enough. I don't have an instance of a Role, only the role id. Is it possible to create the relationship between User and Role without filling a Role object from the database first?
I have an Entity (Extensions) with a number of properties (e.g. id, extension, prefix) and a few navigation properties (phones_departments, phones_buildings) - they show up in the order they display in the EDMX...but what if I want them to display in a different order
I have some basic expirience in Visual Basic and programming Windows Forms programs. I know now that forms programs are no longer updated by Microsoft and that WPF is the way to go. No to mention the slicker interface you can create. I've also noticed that passing SQL strings to a database is no longer the standard either. It's either Entity Framwork or Linq.
So I am going for a fresh approach. I need to develop a program that will access a sql database and be accessed by about 10 concurrent users within the office. What's the best approach in general? Linq or Entity Framework? Also, could you recommend a book or two for someone who is new to WPF and Entity Framework? I do have some programming expirience, just none with WPF or the new ways of ADO.net 4.
