ECall Methods

When trying to Connect to MS SQL Server 2005 through SQL Server management Studio I get an error message as follows:

ECall methods must be packaged into a system module. (mscorlib)

Visual Studio .NET 2005 is installed on the same system as this is a development workstation.

I have no idea what is causing this and any help would be much appreciated.

If you require any further details as to the nature of this, please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Brendan,

I have exactly the same error wen trying to connect SQL Server 2005 in SQL Server management Studio.

Did you find the solution Brendan?

Brendan, Vlad,

Ditto for me. I was just upgrading to SP2 and now I have this problem. I'm working with tech support to resolve it. I've already removed the Workstation Components (as they suggested), but that did not help.

I'll post any solution that I find - assume you'll do the same

Just to let you guys know the solution I used in resolving this problem.

I had to uninstall and reinstall .NET 1.1 and 2.0 frameworks.

Then I applied their service packs and ran the add and remove program to

repair the .NET 2.0 framework.

I can now connect successfully to all the sql server databases using management studio.

Easy Start

Hello All, I am trying to get started with SQL programming and don't know
where to begin.
I would like to use Visual Studio.Net and access a "local database". For
example, something simple like a "member database" for a volunteer
organization.
My first concern is how and what to install so I can create tables and
update them. My next concern (will be) how I would distribute or install th
e
program along with whatever SQL engine is used by the end-user.
Is there any documentation available that describes this for someone
starting at the beginning (me) ?
TIA for any help you can provide.

SQL Server Express may suit your requirements. It's available as a free
download and is free to distribute within the terms of the licence:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editio...ss/default.mspx
Lots more information is linked from the above page, including all the
technical documentation. If you've never developed databases before
however I suggest you invest in some books or courses.

Easy question for experienced developers

How do I add a previously-made SQL Compact Edition database to my Visual Basic.Net 2005 project inside Visual Studio, and ensure that it gets built into the ClickOnce-deployed solution? Our dba has completed the db design for our project, and I need to add the file to the project I am writing business logic for.

I've been writing software for about 15 years but just now using SQL CE for the first time. I hope my questions are not too simplistic for this forum, but I ran into a problem with something so simple that I'm at a loss, and I thought I'd throw it in this newbie thread.

To wit, what is wrong with this syntax:

INSERT INTO refState(StateName)
VALUES('Alberta')
INSERT INTO refState(StateName)
VALUES('Alaska')

This is a snippet from a T-SQL script I've been using for years that populates reference tables for things like states, countries, etc.

When I try to run the query in Visual Studio 2005 Pro while I have my refState table open in the IDE, I receive the following error:

'Unable to parse query text'.

Then I say to myself, What? Why? So I try to verify the SQL syntax, and then I receive this new error:

'This command is not supported by this provider.'

On the surface it looks like ANSI SQL is out the window. So, I'm guessing I'm missing some fundamental understanding.

Little help? thanx

Well, consider that the Compact Edition is not SQL Server and does not understand TSQL. The problem with your SQL is that the SQLCe engine can process one (and only one) SQL statement at a time. It does not understand the concept of multiple operations or resultsets as supported in TSQL.

In my EBook, I show an example (and a class) used to import schema files that can be used to create a SQLCe database and populate the schema. Gettting data into the database is also a challenge as SSIS does not work well with SQLCe (yet). One approach is to setup Merge Replication with a SQL Server Workgroup (or better) engine, use RDL or the new (unreleased) ADO Synchronization Services. Sure, you can write your own INSERT loop to import data and this would not be that hard to do... code-intensive but doable.

Thx for the feedback Bill.

Also, I found what we needed as far as setting up private ClickOnce deployments (which is what we're using) at the following URL:

Easy Newb Q? Cannot find data type xml?

I'm simply trying to create a column of datatype xml but I can't. I'm in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2005. I have all other datatypes except XML... I thought it was supposed to be "built in".
CREATE TABLE T1(Col1 int primary key, Col2 xml)
gives me
Column or parameter #2: Cannot find data type xml.
I copied that straight out of the help. I must be missing something really simple here such as an "Enable XML" in a properties window somewhere? Thanks!
You are in SQL Management Studio 2005 but are you sure you are connected to a SQL Server 2005 instance ? Perhaps you have a SQL 2000 Server instance on your machine and connected to it ?|||

I have the same problem.

This machine has never had any other version of SQL other than SQL 2005.

Created database in Management Studio.

Greetings,

I have encountered the same problem "Cannot find data type xml.".

I see that you have encountered the same problem but I have not been able to find the answer.

In my case I have a newly loaded Windows 2000 Server with all of the service packs and the trail version of SQL 2005 Exterprise.

When I try to create the table from the example in the book, which is the same create table example as above I get the message "Cannot find data type xml"

If I go into object explorer, tables, new tables and try and create the table from their xml is not listed as one of the data types.

Thanks for your help.

Easiest way to update lots of records

I have a database where several thousand records have NULL in a binary field. I want to change all the NULLs to false. I have Visual Studio 5, and the database is a SQL Server 5 database on a remote server. What is the easiest way to do this? Is there a query I can run that will set all ReNew to false where ReNew is Null? This is a live database so I want to get it right. I can't afford to mess it up.

Diane

You can do something like the following:

UPDATE [Table] SET ReNew=0 WHERE ReNew IS NULL

Before I run an update or delete statement, I always run it as a select first, just to make sure I'm only updating the rows I want. Something like this:

SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE ReNew IS NULL

Benners_J:

Before I run an update or delete statement, I always run it as a select first, just to make sure I'm only updating the rows I want. Something like this:

SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE ReNew IS NULL

Rather, SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [Table] WHERE ReNew IS NULL would be good, since the poster is saying there are too many rows. Anything which makes you feel comfortable.

dynamically binding button and controls on table rows.

Hi,

I am new to .NET world. I am using visual studio express.

I am developing website using ASP.NET and C#.

I want to add buttons dynamically on a table row on my web page.

For this I have written this code in "example.aspx" file

<asp:TableID="tblExample"GridLines="Both"BorderWidth="1"runat="server">

</asp:Table>

In my corresponding "example.aspx.cs" file i have written

TableRow tr = new TableRow();

.....................

.....................

TableCell tc3 = new TableCell();

tc3.Width = 120;

Button bt = new Button();

bt.Text = btnStop.Text;

bt.Width = 120;

bt.CommandArgument = lrs.IpAddress + ":" + lrs.PortNo;

bt.Click += newEventHandler(cmdStop_Click);

tc3.Controls.Add(bt);

tr.Cells.Add(tc3);

tblExample.Rows.Add(tr);

In my EventHandler "cmdStop_Click" I am trying to perform some action but on that particular row's data.

My page is also reloading after every 5 secs.

After clicking a button in a row, when page refreshes, I am getting this message in popup error message. also that entry is ommited(as per code in EventHandler)

"The Page cannot be refreshed without resending the information.

Click retry to resend the information again.

or click Cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view"

resetButton cancelButton

_

How to bind that button to particular row so that when I click on a button the action should be performed on that particular row's data.

Thanks
