problem to retrieve an info in a sql request / problème pour recéper une info dans une requête sql

OriginalGriff

Please, look closely at your code. What does this line do exactly:

sql_cmd = new OleDbCommand(txtQuery, sql_con);

Not a trick question: Here it is as multiple choice: 1) Nothing 2) Throw away the existing content of the variable and replace it with a new, empty one. 3) Catch fire and die. 4) Create a new instance and assign all the old data to it. Extra hint: It's less than (3) and greater than (1).

Look at his code and see what he does immediately after adding the parameters and their values...

Griff has already spotted the problem in the thread above, but in case it's not obvious, here's what your code is doing:

Quote:

// using (sql_cmd = sql_con.CreateCommand())
{
string txtQuery = "INSERT INTO Detail_temp (ref_det, qute_det, Designation, Prix_unitaire_HT, Prix_total_HT) VALUES (@ref_det,@qute_det,@Designation,@Prix_unitaire_HT,@Prix_total_HT)";
sql_cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ref_det", TxtRefProduit.Text);
sql_cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@qute_det", TxtQteCmd.Text);
sql_cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Designation", TxtDesignation.Text);
sql_cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Prix_unitaire_HT", TxtPrixUnitaire.Text);
sql_cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Prix_total_HT", total);
sql_cmd = new OleDbCommand(txtQuery, sql_con);
sql_cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
//ExecuteQuery(txtQuery);
}

Creates a string variable to hold the query;
Adds 5 parameters to the sql_cmd variable;
Throws the sql_cmd variable away and sets it to a new OleDbCommand instance;
Attempts to execute the sql_cmd without adding any parameters to it;

This is yet another reason not to store the OleDbConnection and OleDbCommand objects in class-level fields. The first bit of your code is manipulating a command from a previous method. If the sql_cmd field hasn't been initialized, you may even get a NullReferenceException. Change your code to create and use a new OleDbCommand instance, wrapped in a using block:

using (OleDbCommand cmd = sql_con.CreateCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Detail_temp (ref_det, qute_det, Designation, Prix_unitaire_HT, Prix_total_HT) VALUES (@ref_det,@qute_det,@Designation,@Prix_unitaire_HT,@Prix_total_HT)";

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ref\_det", TxtRefProduit.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@qute\_det", TxtQteCmd.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Designation", TxtDesignation.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Prix\_unitaire\_HT", TxtPrixUnitaire.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Prix\_total\_HT", total);

sql\_con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

}

Ideally, you should change your code to create the OleDbConnection as a local variable wrapped in a using block too, and delete the sql_co

Ya, I know. I was more referring to the fact that three separate people asked what the error was and the OP just kept saying "some error." :doh:

Thank you very much to you I try it and I come back to you

OriginalGriff

Wrong.

Quote:

Think: What does the new keyword actually do?

Can you explain it to me please? I'm just a beginner who learns through some tutorials

OriginalGriff

Ok. Suppose we do this:

List myList = new List();
myList.Add("One");
myList.Add("Two");
myList.Add("Three");
myList.Add("Four");
myList.Add("Five");
foreach (string s in myList)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}

You would expect it do print five lines, and indeed it will:

One
Two
Three
Four
Five

But what if I do this:

List myList = new List();
myList.Add("One");
myList.Add("Two");
myList.Add("Three");
myList.Add("Four");
myList.Add("Five");
myList = new List();
foreach (string s in myList)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}

How many lines of print do you expect to get now? (Run the code if you have to, I don't mind.)

you are right sir I doubted but after having compiled I realized that the variable s is empty.

OriginalGriff

Yes - and that's because the new keyword creates a new, empty instance of the List and throws away the old one when it is assigned to the variable. And your code does exactly the same thing:

...
sql_cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Prix_total_HT", total);
sql_cmd = new OleDbCommand(txtQuery, sql_con);
sql_cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

You load up the parameters into an OleDbCommand instance, and then throw it all away to create a new, empty instance and store it in the same variable. To be honest, if you are "just a beginner who learns through some tutorials" then you are doing it all wrong, particularly if these are YouTube tutorials - I've yet to see one that is of any real use whatsoever. Instead, look for a good book on the subject - Apress, Wrox, Addison Wesley, Microsoft Press - they all do excellent beginner volumes though I don't know if any of them are available in French. If you can, look for a copy of "Pro C# 8.0" (APress, I believe), or "C# in a nutshell" (O'Reilly?) - I learnt from those one many, many years ago when .NET was at V2! Books introduce the material in a structured way, building on what has been taught before - and aren't written just to get views and subscribers...

really thank you for your advice i will inquire to see if the book is available in french. I did a bit of programming at school but not the csharp, and since it is a langauge that I am passionate about, I decided to take it easy but I really want to know the role of each method used. And for its I thank you again because I followed your advice. But with your permission I would like to send you some project that I have realized thanks to courses on Csharp to just give me your opinion on the presentation of my codes and if there is an improvement to be made.

OriginalGriff

Don't send it, I won't look at it. I don't have time to be a mentor to anyone - and I get a couple of request for it a month, and certainly couldn't do it for everyone who asks: so I don't do it at all to be as fair as I can to everybody.

it does not matter sir I understand you but nevertheless if I have a problem I will post it for a possible help

Hi, please stop doing

catch(OleDbException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Source);
}

instead do

catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}

It will (1) be able to catch more problems, and (2) will provide much more information when something goes wrong (including the exact line number when running in Visual Studio); you may not understand all of its output right away, but that typically is the info one needs to easily pinpoint what went wrong. :)

Hello sir and thank you for the info, I think I saw it when I was doing my research. And it was written only to see the problems with connection to the database. So I would like to know if we could use it only at the connection of the database or not?

Luc Pattyn

All exceptions derive from the Exception class, so catching Exception will catch "everything". Whatever your code is about, it is most often wise to put it inside a try-catch block that catches and displays all information about all exceptions. And when your code misbehaves and you don't yet have a try-catch, adding one is the first thing you should do. :)
