Can anyone tell me what causes this type of error, what they think is wrong, or what IS wrong if someone wants to take the time to go through the code. Anything helps. Eh, I feel like one of those guys on a street corner with a sign when I say that.

Since the exception that was thrown is of type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException, then the error is in the sql statement itself and not in the code that is calling it.

can you run your sql statement in query analyzer?

Visual Web Developer "helped" me out by adding "(" and ")" around my "from" statement in the SQL. Thanks for pointing out it had to be in the SQL.

I am having the same problem except I dont know where the problem is after reading your posts. Could someone please explain a bit more on where I can find/fix the error in SQL statement??

Incorrect sql statement - not reading variable

In the funtcion below I am selecting a value from the page - Request.QueryString("ProjectID") and this is being pulled through correctly - if I debug then ProjectID = Request.QueryString ("ProjectID") does equal the correct value.

However this value is not then working in the following line:

strSQL ="SELECT [ProjectID] FROM [Projects] WHERE [ProjectID] = [ProjectID]"

This statement is not reading any value for ProjectID and so is selecting all from the table....

How do I write this statement to pick up the variable above???

Thanks in advance for your help!

hi,

try this

strSQL =

"SELECT [ProjectID] FROM [Projects] WHERE [ProjectID] = @.projectID"

Dim p As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter()
p.ParameterName = "@.projectID"
p.Value =ProjectID
p.SqlDbType =System .Data .SqlDbType .Char ;

yourcommand.Pramaters.Add(p)

Thanks for your quick response but this is not working. I do not have a sql command declared, I am using strSQL ( a string), and da (a sqldataadaptor).

Can you help??

Thanks very much

hi cabby

use following

Dim da As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapterDim strSQL As StringDim ProjectID As Int32 ProjectID = Request.QueryString("ProjectID") strSQL ="SELECT [ProjectID] FROM [Projects] WHERE [ProjectID] = @.ProjectID" dim sqlcmdas new sqlcommand(strsql, connstring)sqlcmd.parameter.addwithvalue("ProjectID", request.querystring("projectid"));Dim connString As String ="Data Source=xxx;Initial Catalog=xxx;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx" da = New Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd) da.Fill(ds)in case your project idis char/varchar field use followingas parametervaluesqlcmd.parameter.addwithvalue("ProjectID","'" + request.querystring("projectid") +"'" ) 'see its included in single quotes

HTH

|||Hiya,|||

Hiya,

Thanks for the response. Sorry if I am asking simple questions but I have tried your code and am getting the following error:

Dim

sqlcmdAsNew sqlcommand(strSQL, connstring) - - - type 'sqlcommand' is not defined... so I change this to

Dim

sqlcmdAsNew Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSQL, connString) -- and then I get connString - value of type string cannot be converted to 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' and I also get an error on the next line

sqlcmd.parameter.addwithvalue(

"ProjectID", Request.QueryString("projectid")) -- parameter is not a member of 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection'

My code now is:

Dim

dsAsNew Data.DataSetDim daAs Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapterDim strSQLAsStringDim ProjectIDAs Int32

ProjectID = Request.QueryString(

"ProjectID")

strSQL =

"SELECT [ProjectID] FROM [Projects] WHERE [ProjectID] = [@.ProjectID]"Dim sqlcmdAsNew Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSQL, connString)

sqlcmd.parameter.addwithvalue(

"ProjectID", Request.QueryString("projectid"))Dim connStringAsString ="xxxxxxxxx"

da =

New Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd)

da.Fill(ds)

ds.Tables(0).Columns.Add(

"imgFile")

Thanks for the help!

Clare

|||first of all make sure you've imported system.data.sqlclient.

DimdsAsNew Data.DataSet

Dim daAs Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter

Dim strSQLAsString

Dim ProjectIDAs Int32

ProjectID = Request.QueryString(

"ProjectID")

strSQL =

"SELECT [ProjectID] FROM [Projects] WHERE [ProjectID] = [@.ProjectID]"

Dim sqlcmdAsNew Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSQL,new sqlconnection(connString) )

sqlcmd.parameters.addwithvalue(

"ProjectID", ProjectID) //make sure variable projectid is not null

Dim connStringAsString ="xxxxxxxxx"

da =

New Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd)

da.Fill(ds)

ds.Tables(0).Columns.Add(

"imgFile")

hope it will help now.

thanks,

satish.

Thanks again, really appreciate the help.

Nearly there now I think...

I am getting to the line:

da.Fill(ds)

and getting the error:

Invalid column name'@.ProjectID'.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Clare

hi,

try this

Dim p As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter()
p.ParameterName = "@.projectID"
p.Value =ProjectID
p.SqlDbType =System .Data .SqlDbType .Char ;

sqlcmd.Pramaters.Add(p)

|||

errr sorry appologies for silly mistake of me change following line of my code

sqlcmd.parameters.addwithvalue("ProjectID", ProjectID) //make sure variable projectid is not null

to

sqlcmd.parameters.addwithvalue("@.ProjectID", ProjectID) //make sure variable projectid is not null

thanks,

satish.

Hi,

I am still getting the same error. Do I need to declare in my sub function header that it is taking in a parameter? And if so how do I write this on page load?

Thanks

Clare

|||

After all this I can just use:

strSQL =

"SELECT [ProjectID] FROM [Projects] WHERE [ProjectID] =" & Request.QueryString("ProjectID")

Thanks for all the help

|||

hi

try this, it works fine

Dim p As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter()
p.ParameterName = "@.projectID"
p.Value =Request.QueryString("ProjectID")

p.SqlDbType =Data .SqlDbType .String;

sqlcmd.Pramaters.Add(p)
