straightforward way to programmatically retrieve string from db?

Hello -- I'm using asp.net 2 in visual web developer and I'm drawing a blank finding documentation on on this fairly simple task. Since this is the novice's thread, I felt bold enough to ask.

I'd like to programmatically retrieve a string from the aspnet_usermembership database -- the select statement would be something like the below. Can anyone point me at example code to do this programmatically -- so I end up with the LoweredEmail string from the DB? I guess I could either read it directly from the DB, or from a gridview control on the page -- but I'm new to SQL data manipulation and althoug I've seen examples nothing seems to work in this environment and it's probably simpler than I think to those who know what they;re doing..

Thanks for pointers.

"SELECT LoweredEmail FROM aspnet_Membership WHERE username=@dotnet.itags.org.Username"

Hey, just an idea. You can use SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar() to return a single value from database, assuming that your select SQL statment returns a scalar value. The method returns an object type so you need to comvert, in your case, a string type, like something below

...

dim LoweredEmail as String

dim SqlCmd as New SqlCommand("sql stmt", SqlConnObt)

LoweredEmail = CType(SqlCmd.ExecuteScalar(), String)

...

Thanks Bernie I'll give that a shot -- looks to be exactly what I needed.

Richard.

Worked fine -- just needed to do this in a two-stage process to get the GUID for the user from the username, which teyn gets teh email address. So added

Dim SqlEmailCmdAsNew SqlCommand("SELECT LoweredEmail FROM aspnet_Membership WHERE userid=@.Guid", myMembershipConnection)

SqlEmailCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@.Guid", userid)

Strange bugg with asp.net in Visual Studio

Hi,
I would appreciates some hints or help regarding a strange behaviour in
visual studio dotnet when using asp.net. I'm working with authentication
and somewhere in the process the framework goes nuts. Let me explain the
behaviour for you.
First you have a register page in the root of your project. Next you
have a folder named MemberPages and in this folder a login.aspx page.
And then you have welcome.aspx page.
You have a web.config and set restricion for anonymous users that
redirect to the login page.
If you compile and run the project you get the following error:
Could not load type 'GrundSys01.MemberPages.login'.
Ok and then you remove the login.aspx and rename the folder to MyPages
and then add a new login.aspx page and set it to start page.
Compile and run the project. Page displays fine.

Now why is that and what do I need to do?
I have tried to remove temporary files in framwork folder without
success.

I would appreciate if you could spend a little time to help me on this.

Regards
Andla

It looks like a namespace problem.Check your project
properties and the inherits property of the page
directive on your login page.

Thanks for your answer.
I have tested different namespace adjustment without any success. Also
I'm not sure how this can be a namespace problem because that it fails
only if the folder name is MemberPages. Any other name do fine. Also I
have made a search for 'MemberPages' string in the root because I
suspected that this laid hidden somewhere. Any file containing this
string was either changed or deleted and still the same problem appeared
again.
Maybe I should check the registry and remove any key containing this
string.
Don't really know what more I can do.

Andla

Strange Date Problem

Hi all,

i am using visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005, i am developing a web application using visual basic 2005. i also let you know that i am in UK.

i am having a strange problem. i have got a form from whcih i need to insert the date values into the data base my querystring is as follows.

StrSql = "insert into tasks (TaskName,Sdate,PropEdate,InitID,TaskManager) values (" & _
"'" & Me.TxtTaskName.Text & "'," & _
"'" & Me.TxtSDate.Text & "'," & _
"'" & Me.TxtEdate.Text & "'," & _
Session("InitID") & "," & _
Me.DropDownList1.SelectedValue & _
")"

which is working fine except that it is storing date in different format that is mm/dd/yyyy.

on my other form i again want to insert the date value wich is not working.
my querystring is

StrSql = "insert into tasklog (taskid,currentstatus,updatedon,comments) values (" & _
Me.GridView1.SelectedValue & "," & _
Me.TxtRecentpos.Text & "," & _
"'" & Me.TxtDate.Text & "'," & _
"'" & Me.TxtComments.Text & "'" & _
")"

when i try to run this query it gives me the following error message:

The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value..

i have checked in the sqlserver and both the tables have got the smalldatetime datatype for my fields. it's really scaring for me that it is working on one place and not working on other.
any help would be highly appretiated.
thanksNo matter what the settings are in your code/computer/database, when putting date values into SQL statements, you cannot use the UK format (dd/mm/yyyy).

You must use either the US format (mm/dd/yyyy), or better a format which cannot be mis-interpreted (like yyyy/mm/dd).

If you format the values in this style, you will probably find that the code works perfectly.
Hi si,

i have tried both us format and the other format you told me. but sitll giving the same erroe message.

regards
Faizee

Hi Si sorry i have tried (mm-dd-yyyy) and (yyyy-mm-dd) both are working fine. is it not possible that user enter the date in UK format ( i am using vb 2005) and then i format this to us format or other format to save in the SQL Server so that the users are not confused?

regards
Of course... you just have to convert it before using it in an SQL string.

I haven't used .Net enough to suggest the code you would use to convert it, but can recommend that you use a special date control rather than a textbox - as this is always clear to the user, and to your code too (no matter what settings the PC has).
The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value..

This can be caused by trying to put a date less than 1/1/1900 or larger than 6/6/2079

Also check out using parameters with your SQL strings, it prevents sql injection as well has handles special characters.
Thanks Si and Bill,

i am using RJS Calendar control now and it's working fine.

thanks a lot for your help

Strange Debug Set-up error.

I am using Microsoft's Visual Web Developer 2005 to make ASP.NET programs.

I am now able to write and build code. And the code works. The webpages
are pretty much as they should appear.

The only problem I have now is during the debug process.

When I try to debug I get this error:

It says to go the the Control Panel and (I assume) go to "Programs".
But I do not see where this "Programs" Icon is.

You're almost there..

Go into "Add or Remove Programs". You should then see a window listing all of the installed programs on the machine.

Find the "Add/Remove windows components" button and click on it.

In the new window that pops up, find "Internet Information Services (IIS)" click on the check box (you want it checked).

Click the "Details" button if you need to configure further.

Windows XP is limited to 10 connections...of all types, both incoming and outgoing.

Run this little test and you'll probably be surprised
at the number of connections you actually have open :

Open a command window ( Start, Run, cmd ) and issue the command :

netstat -a

Make sure you're sitting down when you do that.
I'll bet you didn't know you had so many active connections open.

Hey Juan you are right that is a shock. But why has localhost got so many
connections open with lots of different ports? Am I being hacked or what? As
I say this is the first time in three years I've got that error so I'm
assuming I have more connections now for some reason

Your server ( IIS 5.1 ) is listening on several ports and your active connections
( browser requests from IIS ) stay alive for the default time-to-live configured for Windows XP.

You shouldn't mess with the default time-to-live, but you can tweak
Windows XP so you can have more connections ( although you aren't supposed to ).

See :
http://www.theeldergeek.com/increas...connections.htm
and
http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/tune-120.html
They have the same instructions...

Note : Doing what those sites recommend implies editing the Windows Registry.

What I am telling you is not a recommendation to go ahead and hack
the Windows Registry and, if you do it, you do it at your own risk.

At the very least, backup your registry so you can restore it later in case of an "accident".
After those required disclaimers, feel free to proceed at your own risk.
