I'm trying to pass a parameter in a SqlDataSource thru OnRowUpdating event in a Gridview control and i get... Cannot insert the value NULL into column

Asked by: mmedi005

I'm trying to pass a parameter in a SqlDataSource thru OnRowUpdating event in a Gridview control and i get...

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Address', table 'INFONET.dbo.ChecksAddress'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.

My stored Procedure is

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_UpdateChecks]
      @ID                              int,
      @DID                             int,
      @CashiersCheck            bit,
      @PayableTo                  varchar(MAX),
      @Amount                        money,
      @Purpose                  varchar(MAX),
      @HasAddress                  bit,
      @Address                          varchar(150),
      @City                        varchar(150),
      @State                        int,
      @Zip                                varchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
      SET NOCOUNT ON;
      UPDATE Checks
      SET CashiersCheck = @CashiersCheck,
            PayableTo = @PayableTo,
            Amount = @Amount,
            Purpose = @Purpose
      WHERE ID = @ID AND DID = @DID;
      
      DELETE FROM ChecksAddress WHERE ID = @ID;
      
      IF @HasAddress = 'True'
            INSERT INTO ChecksAddress(Address, City, State, Zip, ID) VALUES(@Address, @City, @State, @Zip, @ID);
END

Have you stepped through your code to see if you actually pass the address value?  You could always set the column/stored procedure to accept null values, which should stop that error.

 

by: ged325Posted on 2009-03-10 at 14:18:27ID: 23851531

Has address is a bit but you're comparing it as a VarChar:
  IF @HasAddress = 'True'

Try   IF @HasAddress = 'Y'

Essentially the insert Address line is being called everytime.  Also why are you inserting into address when you update the rest?  Shouldn't that be an update statement as well?

 

by: mmedi005Posted on 2009-03-10 at 14:34:51ID: 23851701

>>Try   IF @HasAddress = 'Y'

'True' & 'False' pass as bit in SQL, I don't update all the time because the user can choose no and the record would delete.  The user chooses yes, it inserts the address.

makes life easier than to check if the record exists and choose to perform an update or a insert...so i delete it, even if it exists or not, then create the record if i need to.....

any ideas on how to get these parameters to pass?

>>Have you stepped through your code to see if you actually pass the address value?

Yes...i put the values in labels to see what is being passed and all are passing a value.  I dont know if the update command is being executed before it executes the OnRowUpdating in the Gridview...could be why its passing NULL, but thats what I'm trying to figure ouy with you guys...

thx in advance for helping me...

im stuck...

Are you able to run SQL Profiler as you debug to see what commands are hitting the SQL Server, and when?

Would help you work out the sequence of events...

 

by: mmedi005Posted on 2009-03-11 at 08:26:46ID: 23858404

I havent used SQL Profiler, how would I do this method of debugging?

 

by: SkidmercPosted on 2009-03-11 at 08:42:43ID: 23858635

I'm perhaps wrongly assuming it's SQL 2005 you are using.

If so:

Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Performance Tools > Sql Server Profiler

File > New Trace

Connect to your server

Click "Run" - you can configure it to filter various actions out etc, but there will be articles on how to do this online.

Debug your code and watch the profiler as you step through. You should be able to see the exact SQL that is called on the server, and see what paramter is getting passed in.


SQL Server 2000 has something similar, but looks more involved:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283790

Very very useful for debugging issues like this though!



 

by: SkidmercPosted on 2009-03-11 at 08:45:25ID: 23858672

Sorry, looks like it does actually have a similar front-end GUI :)
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/sql-server-2000-performance-tuning-tools

Been a while since I used 2000!

 

by: mmedi005Posted on 2009-03-11 at 09:25:40ID: 23859152

no, im using 2005...ill try,

but what i do know is that,

first it executes the first UPDATE command in the stored procedure correctly

then executes the DELETE command that comes after correctly

then it does pass the IF condition depending on what the user selects in the radiobuttonlist

if the user selects FALSE, it doesn't try the condition and it doesn't error out.

if the user selects TRUE, it trys to execute the INSERT command and fails because the textbox with the address in the gridview control is NULL, when it has a value in it.  

I dont think its the SQL command, its something in the .NET code.  I wondering if its executing the Command before I set those DefaultValues to the SqlDataSource.

aany ideas...ill be trying the debug method int he mean time.

 

by: mmedi005Posted on 2009-03-11 at 12:18:13ID: 23861148

The gridview control requires every parameter to be exact with the Bind.  In my StateDropdownList I had this in the SelectedValue

SelectedValue='<%#DisplayState(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "State").ToString())%>'

Where you can not call a function in order for the Edit to work in a GridView with the SqlDataSource.

So I used a IF, ELSE in the Stored Procedure to return what DisplayState was returning.

Thanks for your time and help.
