C# - Retrieve The Provider If I Have A Connection Object?
Sep 8, 2009
Given a connection object (or series of them), does anyone know of a way to backtrack and get the provider name? I'm trying to create a generic dataset generator that someone could load up with n DbCommand instances populate the dataset without requiring any further information.
Theoretically, as a command requires a connection object, that's all the information one should need to create this tool.Given that I'm populating tables in a dataset, I figured the simplest way would be using a DataAdapter. The only problem is that to generate a generic DataAdapter, I seem to have to go through the provider factory which requires a provider string - which I don't have.
Also, given that the provider for each command could potentially be different (i.e. commands across numerous databases), does anyone have any suggestions that would keep this simple?I'd like not to have to require the user to provide the provider string for each command object if I can avoid it. This way the user can just pass a param array of DbCommands and I can take it from there.

I am faced with the prospect of having to completely rewrite the application.I have suddenly started to get this error message all the time - it seemed to start after I added a table to the schema, but deleting the table makes no difference. I can't see anything wrong with the connection string, but as it seems to be entirely undocumented, that doesn't mean much.
The connection string contains DataSource=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory| est.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=Trueand certainly the string works when I use "test connection" from the application setting edit box. I am assuming that for some reason it is not evaluating the Data Directory , but can't see any reason why it shouldn't. Any ideas gratefully received! What might be a clue though is that I can't get rid of the table I added. I have deleted it from the database, deleted it from designer and saved the file, but it just keeps reapearing! Even when it is not showing, there is still a
table adapter in the .xsd file. I am reluctant to start editing this manually because of the danger of screwing something else up - I did try but it caused an error somewhere else (VS helpfully didn't say where)

I'm trying to set up a database connection between an ASP page running VBScript, and I have found code to do this. However, the 'provider' attribute to the connection does not work. The code is below:
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
<strong>conn.Provider</strong>="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open(Server.MapPath("mIndexDb.xls"))
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * From mIndexDbTable", conn

I have the below mentioned code in a seperate class file for establishing connection and carry out DB transactions. I have an issue where multiple connections being opened which sometime exceed the connection pool. When I stepped through the code I found that there are codes which call ConnectDB() in a loop without calling DisconnectDB(). But I expected that the condition OraConn.State = ConnectionState.Closed should handle the situation. Somehow the condition is always satisfied hence openning another set of connection. Can you suggest where am I going wrong and also what best practice can be adopted here?
[Code]...
The connection is again opened in function updData(). While I understand that it has to be closed correctly but keeping tab on every developer is not possible. Hence I want to control it directly from the connection class by using the same connection but the condition If OraConn.State = ConnectionState.
UPDATE I have put the code in UpdateDB under a Using block and removed call to ConnectDB and DisconnectDB from function like InsertData(...). It seems that the issue has been resolved. But I would like to know in case of exception will the connection remain open? and also OraConn is a public variable defined outside Using block so will it be disposed of by the GC?

I've created a small DLL, an addin for Autodesk Inventor, this addin saves some information provided by the user and the program to an access(mdb)database.The whole idea behind this is that it allows users to quickly find drawings, assemblies and so on.The DLL works great on x86 systems however it has issues on x64 because I used ado.net.In a attempt to solve it I forced .net to compile it with the target x86 CPU settings.
However using this I'm unable register the dll (C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727RegAsm.exe /codebase SavetoDatabase.dll )It says its not a proper .net dll file and therefore cannot be registered.
is there any other access-database connection provider (like dao or ado.net) that works on a 64 bit machine? Or do I need to change from mdb databases to another type (like mysql)? because sooner or later all machines its running on will be converted to x64.Or do I need to register the dll in another way?I've also tried to replace the conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 with ACE, with no luck however

SQL connection - I planned to create one sql connection object inside my own singleton class (say connectionmanager with Reference counting for 'SQL connection object' which is a member of the class) and open/close the connection whenever needed. As I like to give high importance for performance. And my application is a desktop based application accessing a remote database server (SQL server 2008), and will use only one connection string, 50 concurrent desktop users may access db server. Please advice.
As like many articles say if the answer is "Connection pooling is taken care by ado.net" - Does that mean that scope of connection pool is entire life of Application instance? Or is it in the scope of SQLConnection object?

In my application I have many different forms each use 3 different database. And right now I am placing the connection string in each form but when it is need to change I have to change in every form. Now what I want to store all connection string in a vb class and call them in every form. So that if I need to change I can do in that class. I have stored my connection string in database so even I don't want to connect to database again and again. I have some idea in which maybe a public class is used and some how I will call it on other forms.

I have a Login class with a doLogin() method which is called from a Button.OnClick() event from my Login form.If the login is successful, I then instantiate a User Class with the users details (username, first name etc.).The problem is, I don't know the best way to store this User object .I want to be able to retrieve details from this Object 'on-the-fly' from other forms, Such as UserObj.getFirstName(). And then have the ability to remove the object for when the user logs out, for example.
I really don't want to have to pass the object around to every form that would need it. That seems unnecessary and I'm sure there's a much easier and logical way.If it was possible to store objects in My.Settings, then It'd be perfect, but you can't (i think?).

I like the PHP way of doing things but, it seems I am stuck with using a Collection of Object's to store/retrieve the data I need. I have my Collection loaded with my Objects's and the code to iterate through the collection, my problem is I am unable to retrieve the "key" as it would be called in PHP (I believe in this case it is actually the name of the object).
Consider the following example:
Dim xDoc As XPathDocument = New XPathDocument(fName)
Dim xNav As XPathNavigator = xDoc.CreateNavigator()
Dim sender As XPathNodeIterator
[CODE]...
As you can see, I am navigating an XML document, and creating an Object with some Key/Value pairs. The Object would look something like this if it were in JSON:
{"name":"John Smith","address1":"123 Anywhere St.","city":"This City","state":"FL"}
When I iterate though the Collection I can only get the value of the object, but I need the Key, in this instance I want "name","address1","city","state" to be stored in a variable for each iteration.

I built a WCF service that exposes itself for a web application, it accepts an object and prints the data on the clients machine. Works fine on my development machine, and the service is up and running on any machine i install it on. I can enter ip address in clients machine web browser and see it is running. Problem is when i send the object to the clients machine it returns an error, that sounds like it could be because of the clients windows firewall. Where would i start at to deal with this problem ?There was no endpoint listening at http://192.168.1.168:2202/PrintLabel that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

I'm designing a web service in ASP.NET and VS2008, and am using typed datasets for retrieving table data. These work well and establish their own connections through their associated TableAdapter objects. Edit: I'm using VB, BTW!I am now attempting to run a custom SQL string using a DataAdapter and a Command object, however I need to reference a Connection object in order for the Command to work. What is the best way to handle this?hould I:a) Create a global connection object using Global.asax, retrieving the connection string from web.config? (I've been trying that one already, with not much success)b) Create a class-level connection object using the InitialiseComponent method, also retrieving the ConnectionString from web.config?c) Retrieve a Connection from one of the TableAdapters that I've already created in my typed DataSets?d) Something else I haven't thought of yet?

Me.conn.ConnectionString = ("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Application.StartupPath & "\CDE Database.accdb")
My database is in the correct folder. in this case I'm debugging so I have it in my debug bin. I've even checked my application start up path to confirm that I have it in the correct folder. I also double checked my extention. For Microsoft office 2007 the extention is accdb. I've also checked the file name spelling and case etc and all matches.

I am performing a simple exercise of opening an SQL Server database connection, pulling the first record of a table from a DataReader object, and then closing the object. However, I have noticed that theres bit of a delay, about 5 seconds or so, in closing the connection. However, the delay only occurs after the command object executes the specified query. I've worked in a setup like this before and don't remember there being such a long delay while closing the connection. [Code] The connection closes almost immediately. What gives? I have narrowed it down to the where the .ExecuteReader line that causes the delay in the connection close. Whats causing the delay and how do I resolve it?
