I have an image stored in the database as varbinary(max) When it's read out into a datatable, it's only being displayed as System.Byte[]. I've tried every trick in the book to get the binary in string format so I can write it back to the varbinary column in another database.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to save a binary file stored in a SQL database with a SaveDialog, the function RetrieveFile retrieves the specified file from the database as a Byte array, here's what I have so far:
Private Shared Function RetrieveFile(ByVal filename As String) As Byte()
Dim connection As New SqlConnection("Data Source=SERVERSQL2008;Initial Catalog=NorthPole;Integrated Security=True")
Dim command As New SqlCommand("SELECT pcfFile FROM Items WHERE pcfFileName=@Filename", connection)
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Filename", filename)
connection.Open()
[Code] .....
Files are saved as "SqlDbType.VarBinary" within the database.
I get: "Index was outside the bounds of the array." on:
Dim retrievedBytes As Long = reader.GetBytes(1, startIndex, buffer, 0, ChunkSize)
The MemoryStream appears to not be retrieving the data yet the SQL syntax is correct.
i am trying to read data from a sql 2000 database.one of the fields is defined as datatype:image, Length:16.when I am in SQL management studio and do a select for this one column.[code]when i do a datalength on this field it come up with 2404/My question is, I know this is a numeric field, how do i read this into a vb app and how do I break this down into individual values?
View 2 RepliesI know how to insert a new row into a table that has a binary column. But is there any way to update the binary column once that row has been added? So far an exhaustive google search has turned up nothing. Get the current row that I wish to update delete the row that I wish to update Create a new row with the information from the row I wish to update plus the new binary It just doesnt seem very elegant, and I was hoping I could do the same thing with an update statement. Here is the updated code I am using now for reference

View 1 RepliesI'm using a stored procedure to updateinsert data into a table using MERGE. One of the items being inserted is a VarBinary file. Now if I wish to add a new file it's just a case of using ReadAllBytes as below, to remove the file I pass DBNull. Now what if other fields are being updated but the file is not being changed? I want the field to remain untouched unless I'm replacing the file or deleting it as above. I cannot add the file via the parameter again as it may only exist in the database, unless I read it first and write it back which seems pointless. [Code]

I write a program to convert Decimal numbers to Binary numbers. It is working well. But I want to control the bits. i.e - We can write 31 as a) 11111 or b) 011111. When I run my program it displays 11111. I want to take input bit from a text box and display it like 0011111 or 011111 or what ever bit I input. How can I do that ?
Private Sub DecToBin()
Dim i As Integer = txtDec.Text
Dim binary As String = Convert.ToString(i, 2)
txtBin.Text = binary
End Sub

But it isn't very convenient code. It reads bytes from table, save them to file, and finally open file as image.How can I read it directly to image, without saving as file?
I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

View 2 RepliesI need to save a datatable to a binary file , in binary format , in order to make the process fast because the datatable may contain up ten millions rows. So , XML is not favorable because it makes the file large sized , and the process will be slow.
I managed to save the datatable to a binary file , and it works fine , but the problem when I try to add new rows to the existing binary file (using a datatable with the same schema , but different rows data) , it copies the schema of the datatable to the binary file, making it very large.

I have been having trouble finding a good way to do this. Basically what I need to do is take a query from a SQL Server Database and place it into a DataTable (or an array) for manipulation. I've got the connection and everything working, but none of the methods I've tried so far seem to work very well.I need it to compare data with an uploaded CSV file and post on a website.

Since I've got close to a million rows (all pretty skinny, so it's not much space), I obviously don't want to run this loop and generate a million INSERT statements.
I know that one option is to use a linked server when I initially fetch the data, since it's coming from another SQL Server, and just have it to the INSERT from there. However, if I already have the data in my application, is there a more efficient way to bulk insert it? Can I somehow pass the DataTable as a parameter to SQL Server and have it sort it out and insert the rows?
I'm trying to create a Server/Client Sync scenario for my application using Sync Services for ADO.NET specifically the LocalCache custom tool which sets the whole thing up for me.My server DB has 5 Tables, all of which are being synchronized to the client application, which now has a SQL Server Compact DB with the same schema as the server DB. I have a dataset with some custom queries that I use to connect my app with the local database.So far so good.However in my application when I try to fill one of my tables with the table adapter on my form (the default "fill" method) it gives me the following exception:No mapping exists from DbType Object to a known SqlDbType.
However, if I continue and do the fill again, IT WORKS without a problem.
Try
Me.WTSUsersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.WTSMainDataSet.WTSUsers)

I wrote a procedure that builds a DataTable in memory using data stored on our DB2 database. The function builds a Multi-Level Bill of Materials (BoM), meaning that the data cannot simply be queried. The function works great and returns a nicely arranged DataTable object. However, I then need to query the in-memory DataTable against other tables on our server. What would be the best way to approach this problem? Should I make a DataTableAdapter for the Server tables and then build a DataView? I don't have too much experience yet with Data objects. (By the way, I looked into LINQ to DB2 and even installed IBM's addin's, but our server doesn't seem to support it at this time.)
View 6 RepliesI have populated a datatable from a SQL stored procedure and need to do further filtering on the datatable. The datatable holds data that is returned from the SQL DB as varbinary and is stored in the datatable as a byte array. I am attempting to pass TheData!Hash which is also a byte array.
When I need to filter the datatable I have use the following:
Dim sQuery0 As String = "Hash=" & TheData!Hash
Dim ResultRows As DataRow() = dt.Select(sQuery0)
I understand that the TheData!Hash is a byte array and cannot be converted to a string in this way but how on earth do I pass the byte array in the Select filter expression?
I am working with VB.NET.. i have a DataTable called "QUESTION", containing 3 fields:
QuestionNumber (unique integer key)
QuestionText
QuestionType
In my SQL Server database I created a Table called "QUESTION" with the same fields.
QuestionNumber is defined as integer unique key, auto increment
Now, when i make a bulk copy to insert the DataTable into the SQL Server, the database overwrites my QuestionNumber from the DataTable and generates new ones (starting from 1 increment 1).
How do i have to change my database setup, that the original QuestionNumbers are copied into the database?
I have a datagridview linked to a dataTable loaded from a sql server via an adapter.I wish to sort one of the column: Filenumber.The Columns is a string. For example:
M-099
M-756
M-777
M-1000
But when i sort the columns by using Me.DataGrid.Sort(DataGrid.Columns(9), System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Ascending), it turns out to be:
M-099
M-1000
M-756
M-777
I would like to know how to sort it like:
M-099
M-756
M-777
M-1000
How should i go about it? I've thought of getting rid of the M- in front and putting it into another column, but it makes filtering nuisance.Also, is it true the a custom sort via an IComparer is only applicable to things without a binding source?
