Added text field to database. New entries not equal to ""

Hi!
I'm accessing an MS Access database from an ASP server.
I just added a new text column (field) to one of my tables. I have not added
any data to this new field in any of the rows.
I read the field in and compare it to "" and it's coming up as false.
How do identify the empty fields?
'ASP code - Never produces "Blank"
if rsSet("region") = "" then response.write "Blank" else response.write
rsSet("region")
Try
If IsNull (rsSet("region")) Then Response.Write "Null" Else Response.Write
rsSet("region")

Add rows to a DataSet without updating the MS SQL Server?

I am using ASP.NET 2.0 WebForms and I was trying to use a DataSet to add rows programatically without adding the actual records to the MS SQL Server Databases. Is this possible or should I be doing this another way?

DataSet myDS =newDataSet();
DataTable myTable =newDataTable("table1");
myTable.Columns.Add("col1",typeof(string));
myDS.Tables.Add(myTable);
myTable.Rows.Add("MyValue");

Thanks.

Yes it is possible.

add reference reporting service to asp.net application

Hi friends,
I am developing the program reporting services using asp.net.
And I just need to add the reference of reporting services for .net,
so how can i do this?
Have you installed the client tools on your dev box? Also, I normally point to the report on the RS server. Also, in sharepoint there are some webparts that will display your reports on a sharepoint site. Let us know which method you prefer, and we can explain better.|||

Hello Kishor_kurapati,

Go to the Project menu -> Add Web Reference.

In the URL box, navigate to the WSDL location on the report server, typicallyhttp://servername/reportserver/reportservice.asmx

This will give you the reporting service proxy class that you can make calls against.

I have some screenshotshere.

add new record - weird results

I have written a generic script in asp to add records to a table. The
script works fine with one table but in the other tables it updates
the first record in the table with the values for the new record and
adds a new record with all null values?!? Here is the script:

adOpenKeyset=1
adLockOptimistic=3
Set cnnFormToDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
'INSERT******************************************* ******************
'Open connection to sub-table
if action = "insert" then
cnnFormToDB.Open "SELECT top 1 * FROM " &subtable,
"DSN=Barrheadsql;UID=barrhead;PWD=ty93eta",
adOpenKeyset,adLockOptimistic
cnnFormToDB.AddNew
else
cnnFormToDB.Open "SELECT top 1 * FROM " & subtable & " WHERE ID = " &
ID, "DSN=Barrheadsql;UID=barrhead;PWD=ty93eta", adOpenKeyset,
adLockOptimistic
End If

if not cnnFormToDB.eof then
cnnFormToDB.MoveFirst
end if
'DELETE******************************************* ********************
if action = "delete" then
cnnFormToDB.Delete
cnnFormToDB.Close
else
'Build 2nd SQL String
For i=0 To Ubound(aFields)
cnnFormToDB(aFields(i)) = aValues(i)
Next

'Insert record into sub-table
cnnFormToDB.Update

The even weirder thing is I know that values in aFields and aValues
are OK because this test script I wrote for one of the tables works
just fine:

adOpenKeyset=1
adLockOptimistic=3
Set cnnFormToDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
cnnFormToDB.Open "SELECT top 1 * FROM FlightsDirect",
"DSN=Barrheadsql;UID=barrhead;PWD=ty93eta", adOpenKeyset,
adLockOptimistic
cnnFormToDB.AddNew

cnnFormToDB("fkCity") = 198
cnnFormToDB("fkDepartureAirport") = 159
cnnFormToDB("ValidFrom") = "17/09/2003"
cnnFormToDB("ValidTo") = "15/10/2003"
cnnFormToDB("fkType") = 1
cnnFormToDB("ReturnFlight") = 1
cnnFormToDB("fkReturnAirport") = 184
cnnFormToDB("Price") = yyyyyy
cnnFormToDB("fkATOL") = 5346

cnnFormToDB.Update

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks

I cannot really say what is going on. The problem with ADO is that
while it tries to hides to the SQL from you, it does actually makes
you more confused, because you don't know what is going on under the
covers.

You can use the Profiler to see what ADO submits to SQL Server.

However, rather than relying on ADO doing things right by chance, I
would encourage you to use stored procedures instead. Then you don't
use these .AddNew or .Update methods.
