ASP.NET, How to handle Gridview foreign key constraints when deleting ??
Posted on 2011-03-07
Hi,
What is the beat way to intercept this SQLException, stop processing and display the error message when using the standard Gridview features. Currently the best I can see is by using something similar to:
I guess there must be a very standard way of achieving this.
I am using ASP.NET2 and SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Protected Sub gv_OnRowDeleting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewDeleteEventArgs)
Try
Catch ex As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException
some delete code here... Would expect a reference to the standard Gridview delete process somehow...
If ex.Number = 547 Then 'handle foreign key violation(547)
lblMsg.Text = "Record cannot be deleted as it is being used by other tables."
End If
End Try
End Sub
I guess there must be a very standard way of achieving this.

Further research produced this, but I get a stackoverflow error:
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Sam
Protected Sub _gv_RowDeleting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewDeleteEventArgs) Handles _gvFunds.RowDeleting
Try
_gvFunds.DeleteRow(e.RowIndex) (An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in System.dll error on this line)
Catch ex As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException
If ex.Number = 547 Then 'handle foreign key violation(547)
Me._lblError.Text = "record cannot be deleted as it is being used by another table."
End If
End Try
End Sub

Hi,
Insted of doing like this, you can get the current row reference from the GV and using the store procedure to delete the row from database, in the storeprocedure you can easily find is there any DB error is coming, if so use the output parameter to stop the process and display the error message.
Correct me if i am wrong

Hi Rajan,
Yes I could imagine how one could use stored procedures for this. However there must be a standard approach to do this in ASP.NET by capturing the SQLException Error Number. Obviously I would like to understand this approach since I can use it for other errors.

Hi,
If you want to do it using Exception handling then what you have used in the coding is the correct way of handling, but in other thoughts it is not recommended way of doing this may cause performance problem to your application
Thanks

Ok Rajan, thanks for your help.
So in your view this error checking should be handled in the Stored Procedure?
For better or worse I am using a SQLDataSource at present which also contains the Delete DDL code. So perhaps if I need to put this back into a SP then I can also move the error code as well.
