VS 2010 Unique DataColumn With Several NULL-values?
Jan 17, 2011
I'm using MySQL to store some numbers. One of the columns in the database is defined as unique, but it does allow multiple NULL-values. That is exactly how I want it.ut when I'm trying to load the data into my strongly typed DataSet, I get a error saying that a constraint fails... I do understand why that happens (several rows with NULL-values in a unique column), but is it a way to keep a DataColumn in vb.net unique, but still allow several rows with NULL-values like in MySQL?

There were three similar questions in StackOverFlow but none gave an answer.. If have found why this error in occurring but don't know the fix. I am using Strongly Typed Dataset for my project which is created as a dll for DAL. I have added the Sql Server Table into this dataset using the designer and has created a DataAdapter

I have a DataTable with two DateTime columns: "start_time" and "end_time".Now, I want to add a third column that calculates the difference between the two DateTimes. But I can't seem to figure out how. I've tried to set the .Expression-value to "start_time - end_time", but it says that "-"-operator is not allowed on DateTime.

I'm trying to assign some parameters for a stored procedure with some values that are stored in a data table. in the code, I can set the parameter values to the data table, and give a column header or index without issue, but when it tries to execute at runtime it bombs out.the error I get is a variation on "Failed to Convert Parameter Value from a DataColumn to a String" depending on exactly how I try to assign the value.the data types are all correct elsewhere in the code.
my code for this bit is
Try
ConnectionAttempt.Open()
Try
With NewYearCommand_Dates
[code]....
other things I've tried to get this to work are all variations on the .Value=dates bit, such as
.Value=dates(0) (so using column index)
.Value=dates.columns(0) (again using column index)
I've also tried declaring variables, and setting their values to the values in the columns, but the code returns an error saying that "Value of type 'System.Data.DataColumn' cannot be converted to string".I should point out that i'm doing this for 3 tables at once in this sub, 2 of them will only have a single row of data, but the third has an indeterminate number of rows.I'm afraid I don't know what else to do. I'm lead to believe by my mate and my lecturer that this should work, and of course it will work, but the evidence says otherwise.

I'm confused at the variety of different ways to say "null" in VB.net. I've got text and numerical fields with checkboxes to mark unknown values; I just want to populate a table with the fields' values (if the corresponding checkbox is not checked) or null values (if checked) so I can later input them into a mySQL database.So my question is just which of the various null types I should be using in what situations.

I am trying to build a filter string for my DataView, but I have run into a problem. My underlying DataTable contains values that are formatted when displayed in my DataGridView.For example, if the DataColumn contains 1.52 and the DataGridViewColumn.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "n0" then 2 is displayed.So the user sees 2, then sets the DataView.RowFilter = "DataColumn = 2", and no DataRows are returned. Is there a way to format the DataColumn in the RowFilter string? For example, DataView.RowFilter = "FORMAT(DataColumn, "n0") IN (2, 4)". This filter string should return 3 rows. If not, can LINQ do this?

is there a way to filter out unique values in a dataview or an array? I currently filter a dataview as such: [code] So now I have a dataview filtering the table, but can I further filter this data to find the unique instances of an item in this table? I eventually have to pass a portion of this table to an array, so if there is a way to find unique values in an array, I can use that.

I am trying to store 5 values and an associated unique key. I need to search for this key and update the 5 associated values. I'm guessing I would use an object as the value but how do I get the values out from the object?

I am using a DataGridView that has a filtered dataset and I like to validate a column in a new or changed row via a sub in the partial dataset class so that I can set the errorprovider to an error if the entered value isn't unique.I started out to set the field in SQL server with a unique key and then catch the sqlerror on the form. But data validation is best practice to do in the partial dataset class so I am trying to do it for this particular problem aswell. But after spending a lot of time I am stuck and wonder if it is even possible to do this particular validation in the partial class?

I need to create an array, then iterate through a string, adding the string value to the array only is it does not already exist, to produce an array of unique values. The issue I am having is with the array.length operation - on a array that is nothing I am unable to retrieve the array length (0), as such I am unable to redimensionalise the array to be array length (must be array length as arrays are indexed from 0), providing me the ability to add the new value to the array and then continue the loop until all values have been checked to see if they exist within the array (using contains) and the value contain only unique values..

I am trying to populate an array with all the unique values in a string, to prevent me ReDim'ing an array every time I find a value that not already contained in the array I am trying to create (consumes alot of time), I am trying to get the unique values first so I only have to ReDim once and after that I can simply iterate through the string and the array I have will be the correct size for the unique values I aquire (I am using this...)

I'm trying to make a method that can get unique values from a specified column of a DataTable. The problem is that the column may be string, integer, etc. I'm not sure what type of variable the (Of T) is.
Private Sub GetColumnUnique(ByVal dbTable As DataTable, ByVal ColumnNumber As Integer, ByVal ColumnType As ???)
Dim results As List(ColumnType) = (From item In dbTable.AsEnumerable Select item.Field(ColumnType)(ColumnNumber)).Distinct.ToList
End Sub

I'm using an Infragistics UltraWinGrid with a column of drop-down boxes. I don't want the user to be able to select the same value for multiple rows in that column. Is there a simple (or heck, I'd settle for advanced) way to do this? I'm using VB.NET
-EDIT-
I tried setting a filter on the data source for the drop-down box. But when I did that, the values in the other boxes in that column started disappearing (not the values themselves, but the descriptions that they were supposed to represent, so instead of reading "Information", it just said "1"). All of the cells in a column refer to the same combo box, so if you filter out a value from the data source for one of them, you filter it out for all of them. I'm currently trying to catch a CellChange event and check against all other currently-used values. If it was already used, I would put up a message saying as much and revert back to the old value. However, the value comes back as the previously-saved one, so... not helpful. About to see if I can use the "text" property.

I need to extract september, june and july only from the above, sort them and display them in a another listbox.

I am having so trouble with the ToUpper() procedure with strings. I am using LINQ to find unique values in a list of objects. In that whole process I set the values to compare to all lowercase in order to get a proper list. My goal is to populate a dropdown list with the values. I'm attempting to set the first letter of of the string to uppercase and keep the rest lowercase however the toUpper() procedure is not working?
Private Function FixCase(ByVal strIn) As String
Dim strOutput As String
Dim intStringLength As Integer = strIn.Length - 1
strOutput = strIn.Substring(0, 1)

I have a stored procedure (I cannot edit) that I am calling via linq.
The stored procedure returns values (more complex but important data below):
Customer Stock Item Date Price Priority Qty
--------------------------------------------------------
CUST1 TAP 01-04-2012 £30 30 1 - 30
CUST1 TAP 05-04-2012 £33 30 1 - 30
CUST1 TAP 01-04-2012 £29 20 31 - 99
CUST1 TAP 01-04-2012 £28 10 1 - 30
I am trying to limit this list to rows which have unique Dates and unique quantities in LINQ. I want to remove items with the HIGHER priority leaving rows with unique dates and qty's.
I have tried several group by's using Max and order by's but have not been able to get a result.
Is there any way to do this via linq?
EDIT:
Managed to convert brad-rem's answer into VB.net.
Syntax below if anyone needs it:
returnlist = (From p In returnlist
Order By p.Qty Ascending, p.Priority
Group By AllGrp = p.Date, p.Qty Into g = Group
Select g.First).ToList

I've come across an error I'm not quite sure how to get rid of, I've got a listview with listview items making up the grid, I've got values coming from a database populating the cells however if there are any null values(in this case, there's null values in the date) it crashes my program. I'm not quite sure of a way to allow the listview to have null values in it, I figured it would default allow it but that's not the case.[code]....

I have a databound DataGridView and use a button to control updates.
The problem is that if a db Column does not allow a null value an error is thrown ("Column <ID> does not allow null values") and then the datagridview automatically removes the row. This error is raised as soon as the user leaves the cell and before the update command is issued.

I have an SQL query that gets a max value so that I can decide the next value to use in an ID field. The code works fine when there's a matching result, but if the query returns Null, it throws a Specified Cast is Invalid error.This is the code I'm using:
LastID = DirectCast(SQLQuery.ExecuteScalar(), Integer)
What would be the proper way to check for a null value?
I suspect this is going to be one of those cases where within 2 minutes of posting myquestion, I finally hit upon the right combination of terms in Google to find what I'm looking for...
