Help Filling Dataset

I have a class that works fine using the SQLDataReader but when I try and duplicate the process using a Dataset instead of a SQLDataReader it returnsa a null value.

This is the code for the Method to return a datareader

public

SqlDataReader GetOrgID()

{

Singleton s1 =Singleton.Instance();

Guid uuid;

uuid =

newGuid(s1.User_id);

SqlConnection con =newSqlConnection(conString);

string selectString ="Select OrgID From aspnet_OrgNames Where UserID = @.UserID";

SqlCommand cmd =newSqlCommand(selectString, con);

cmd.Parameters.Add(

"@.UserID",SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16).Value = uuid;

con.Open();

SqlDataReader dtr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);

return dtr;

This is the code trying to accomplish the same thing with a Dataset instead.

publicDataSet organID(DataSet dataset)

{

Singleton s1 =Singleton.Instance();

Guid uuid;

uuid =

newGuid(s1.User_id);

string queryString ="Select OrgID From aspnet_OrgNames Where UserID = @.UserID";

SqlConnection con =newSqlConnection(conString);

SqlCommand cmd =newSqlCommand(queryString, con);

cmd.Parameters.Add(

"@.UserID",SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16).Value = uuid;

SqlDataAdapter adapter =newSqlDataAdapter();

adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;

adapter.Fill(dataset);

return dataset;

}

Assume that the conString is set to a valid connection string. The Singlton passes the userid in from some code in the code behind page ...this functionality works as well.

So assume that the Guid is a valid entry..I should return a valid dataset but its null.

Additionally if I change the sql query to just be Select * From aspnet_OrgNames I still get a null value...I am assuming I am doing something wrong trying to fill the dataset.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Are you passing in a valid dataset which is not null?
include a ' dataset = new DataSet(); ' before you fill in the data and check if it works
if it does, it just means you passed in a null value...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

help deleting SIMILAR records (not duplicate)

i've read lots of usenet and and microsoft support articles about how
to remove duplicate rows from a table, but i am trying to modify that
logic to delete "similar" rows. for example, consider the following:
create table t1 (
col1 int,
col2 bit,
col3 bit)
insert into t1 values (1, 0, 0)
insert into t1 values (2, 0, 0)
insert into t1 values (3, 0, 1)
now, clearly there are no duplicate rows. but what if, for the sake of
logical consistency, i need to remove "similar" rows, defining similar
in this example as rows with duplicate col2 and col3 values? keep in
mind: i don't care which row gets deleted (deleting the col1 value of 1
OR 2 will be fine)
most of the examples i'm reading involve selecting distinct * into a
temp table, which won't work for me, because the whole row is not
duplicated.
the result i am looking for AFTER the similar row deletion is as
follows:
select * from t1
col1 col2 col3
-- -- --
1 0 0
3 0 1
thanks for any help!Delete Table
Where Col1 In(
Select Min(T1.Col1)
From Table1 As T1
Group By T1.Col2, T1.Col3
Having Count(*) > 1
)

your code satisfies the example completely, however i might actually
have dozens of "similar" rows, for which i would only want to keep the
rows identified by the select min(col1) statement.
thanks again!|||You could run the query several times in succession or put it in a loop :)
BTW, once you get this resolved, you might want to make sure that the
client-side logic doesn't allow inserts of "similar rows"; or you could
ensure this via trigger.
