Filling a select box ...

...on an asp page with data from a sql server db. Can anyone give me a thumbnail as to how to do that?
I can collect the field data but I want to fill the select drop-down on page load.
Thanks!!Start an HTML FORM. Build an OPTION item for each row in the recordset. Iterate through the recordset, adding additional OPTION items for each row. Then at .EOF, close the connection and finish off the FORM.|||That was what I needed!sql

Filling a DDL from a SQL DB?

Hello All
I am wanting to fill a drop down list in ASP.NET using C# from a SQL database table using a stored procedure. I have my Sproc. But using ASP.NET C# I have no idea how to do this. Can someone give me a good example, and if not too much trouble, place comments in the code, and give an explanation. I am just learning ASP.NET after moving from Classic. Things are alot different.

Thank You in advnace for all your help

Files in SQL 2005

Hello,
In my ASP.NET 2.0 web site I need to upload many files to various
folders and add the information in an SQL 2005 database.
I am creating a documents table which includes the fields:
[DocumentId], [DocumentAuthor] and [DocumentUrl]
This table will have records for many files.
Is there a standard way to name the files?
Maybe renaming the files to "doc" + DocumentId?
However my DocumentId is a Guid so it would be to big ... I think.
I would need to create the record, get the DocumentId and then access
the record again to add the DocumentUrl after renaming the file in
my .NET code.
Anyway, is there a standard way to make sure that every file name is
unique and that at the same time won't have an unreadable name?
Thanks,
Miguel

File Upload to SQL in 2.0 VB

Can anyone give me an example of how to Upload a file to SQL in asp.net 2.0 using VB?

Thanks

Randy

The way i do it is with a table of 3 columns:

ImgSize(int)
ImgContentType(nvarchar)
ImgFile(image)

Code:

'Pic is a File Upload Contol

Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(strConn)

Dim imgStream As Stream = Pic.PostedFile.InputStream
Dim imgLen As Integer = Pic.PostedFile.ContentLength
Dim imgContentType As String = Pic.PostedFile.ContentType

Dim imgBinaryData As Byte() = New Byte(imgLen) {}
Dim n As Integer = imgStream.Read(imgBinaryData, 0, imgLen)

You then build your command object and set your parameters with
the value you got above (imgStream, imgLen, imgContentType) and
then execute an non query.

Let me know if you need help reading as well !

|||@.amensi: ei that's the same problem as mine! So that's it, but if you don't me asking, can that also upload a MS word text file? if it doesn't can you please post the source code and where to put it? thanks!

File size big when download report

Hi
I download my report using SQL Server Reporting service export function
(excel format), The file size is very big, when compare to my previous asp
download function.
Note: The no of rec is same.
Ex: Using ASP, the file size is about 1000 kb
Using RS, the file size is about 23,000 kb.
Pls help me, what should I do to reduce the file size to normal.
Thanks
Regards
Kumar.Are you using SP1 version of RS? SP1 introduced excel using its native
store, while RTM used MHTML which was much larger.

File permissions

I've been having problem in my asp.net 2 web when using the "User Instance=true" style connections to databases.

I would get ASP.NET event log errors like this:
Exception information:
Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:\temp\dnn\dnn\dnn455\App_Data\Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

After I used ProcessMonitor it showed that the user ASPNET was trying to access C:\ directly after trying to open the database.mdf file I wanted open.

I had to give the ASPNET account read/execute permission to c:\, which was very scary.

Could someone please enlightenment me as to the correct file permissions needed to use databases in user instances?

Thanks,
Alex

You have the option to connect the User Instance to Management Studio because of known issues with User Instance. Try the link below for details.
