VB.NET 2008 TableAdapterManager - Update Order

Zones: .Net Editors & IDEs, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Visual Studio 2008

I have two related tables InvoiceHeader and InvoiceDetail.
They are related as a one to many with Constraints on and Cascades on.
I am using the TableAdapterManager UpdateAll method.

The InvoiceDetail contains:
ID (PK)
InvoiceHeaderID
ItemID
And while the PK is on the ID, I have a Unique Contraint set on the InvoiceHeaderID & ItemID combo.

Here is the problem. If I enter in the InvoiceDetail Item1, Item2, Item3 and save it. Then go back in and Delete Item1, and Enter Item1 again, and then Save it I get this error:

Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint IX_tblInvoiceDetail. Cannot insert Duplicate key in object tblInvoiceDetail.
The statement has been terminated.

I tried changing the TableAdapterManager Update Order to UpdateInsert but that changes nothing. I would assume that I need to first do a Delete, but to my surprise there does not seem to be that option.

Where do I go from here?

It sounds like the cascade option isn't set for "cascade on delete"

Can't you ask the TableAdapterManager to update the rows with deletions first, then do the rest?

Jake

02.20.2008 at 06:45AM PST, ID: 20938226

Jess31:

Bob,
Actualy I got it 3 minutes into testing. All it takes is say there are three Items:
Organges
Apples
Bananas

I erase top row, Oranges. Then I realize that I didn't want to erase it and I add Oranges, so now the recordset is made up of
Oranages <deleted>
Apples
Bananas
Oranges

jake072:
your mean to process the Deletetions first? Well that is exactly what I would like to do. And I don't know if this is possible and if so how. I see only an option for Insdert then Update or Update then Insert, both of which process Deletetion last.

jake072:

Jess31,

To Update just the Deleted rows, assuming your using a DataAdapter and DataSets, then you go:

Dim drDeletions As DataRow() = [DataSet].Table([TableName]).Select("", "", DataViewRowState.Deleted)

[DataAdapter].Update(drDeletions)

Voila! This will update ONLY the Deletions.

You should be able to subsequently do a simple .Update to do the rest, or if you want, you can select rows as above to update specific RowStates as needed.

Jess31:

As I pointed out at the beggining, I'm using the TableAdapterManager for this - cause it (TAM) also wraps all of it into a Transaction. So I need to be able to get into this Transaction. And also what would happen when the TableAdapterManager tries Deleteing these same rows again - while normaly I can't see a problem, wouldn't this cause an error and the resetting to the Transaction?

jake072:

Sorry about that. Should've paid more attention.

From what I can see if you are using the TableAdapterManager, you don't seem to have a choice.

Never used the TableAdapterManager before... If it's giving you so many troubles, perhaps you could use DataAdapters instead? I use DataAdapters and my own Transaction objects myself, which I could help you with. Can't see how you're going to fix this otherwise...

Jake

02.20.2008 at 10:25PM PST, ID: 20945457

Jess31:

Ok. I tried your suggestion and it seems that it will work just fine.
My only challange now is how I can wrap the TableAdapter.Updates inside a Transaction. I looked for some example but I have not found yet anything that seems to apply. I am not establishing a Connection since that allready exists, I'm just calling the TA for the Updates/Inserts.

jake072:

Your not establishing a connection?

Surely you are! When you start the connection, start a new transaction object and then do connection.Open. You'll have to remember to COMMIT the transaction though, before you close the Connection. There's some good examples in the MSDN Library, or I can help further if you need.

Jake

Jess31:

Let me say that you have been very helpful with your insightful and very to the point help.

Here to explain better my situation.
I have a Form with some DataSet/TableAdapter/BindingSource that were created by the Designer. The forms has a DataViewGrid and other Textboxes that get filled with data by calling a Fill method of the TableAdapter when coming into the Form.

After changes are made, and if the Save button is clicked then I called the TableAdapters Update method.

So I'm sure there are connections. But I don't know where they are, how to get at them, etc.

jake072:

Jess31,

It would be pointless for me to guess at what your connections may be named, etc., because you might have changed them.

What I would suggest, if you'd like to try my method, is to open the Designer.vb file, and do a search for SQLConnection (or whatever type of DB you are connecting to), and then you will find your connection name.

Then you can go from there in your regular code file.

Let me know if you need more help,

Jake

02.23.2008 at 04:27PM PST, ID: 20967534

I'm not understanding. I know that I can get my connection string this way:
MyProject.My.Settings.MyProjectConnectionString
But I'm not sure ths is what you are referring to.

jake072:

Ok,

As I mentioned before I've never personally used a TableAdapter, but I have used normal DataAdapters.

To start this off, I would right-click your toolkit under the Data Tab, and add all SQL Data Components (.NET Tab, System.Data.Sql.

Now, to start, simply drag a DataAdapter on your form, and follow the wizard. It will create the SQLConnection object for you, as well as typed datasets if you ask it to.

Once you've got that all done, to do an update, you'll follow these steps:

Create SQLTransaction object
assign it to the SQLConnection object.

Open your connection
run the update via DataAdapter.Update() <- here is where you can use the code above to get only deleted rows.
Commit the transaction
Close the connection.

Let me know if you need more help, but the MSDN help should be able to guide you through, as well as the wizards.

Jess31:

Ever since you gave me the code for extracting the Deleted/Modfied/Inserted, etc. I have been trying various things, and managed (I think, still need to test) get it working this way:
When need to save:
-Create Transactionscope
-Try
-Establish Connection
-Create SQL Command object
-Updated using stored procedures
-Complete Transaction
-Catch
This is the high level logic.

I was trying to do it the way in your last message, for one it would be easier since I could leverage off of adapter methods...
But (are you using vs 2008?) I could not find DataAdapter or even Toolkit (unless you mean Toolbox in which case I still don't find DA in Toolbox)

It's actually a SQLDataAdapter, available when you choose to add items from System.Data.SqlClient [Or just Sql can't remember, and I'm not at my dev machine).

jake072,
I have taken what you taught me here but applied it to Table Adapter and came up with these few lines of code which seems to work. Thank you so much for your persistent help.
I include the code here, if you can have a look and tell me if this looks right to you or if you have any comments I would love to hear.
