Dataset problem

I have the following problem:

I am populating a dataset but, sometimes (NOT always), the
NewRow method works like the Add method.

SetRightDetail.RightDetail.Rows.Clear()
For Each Right In TblRight.Rows
With Right
Detail = SetRightDetail.RightDetail.NewRow() (1)
Detail.Item("PKID") = .Item("PKID") (2)
Detail.Item("Type") = .Item("Type")
SetRightDetail.RightDetail.Rows.Add(Detail) (3)
End With
Next

Following is one example of the results after the lines
1,2,3 are executed:

Right.Item("PKID") Detail.Item("PKID")
NewRow Result

Iter 1:
(1) 1 DBNull
DBNull OK
(2) 1 1
DBNull OK
(3) 1 1
1 OK

Iter 2:
(1) 2 DBNull
DBNull OK
(2) 2 2
2 WRONG
(3) Generates an exception error for
duplicated primary key WRONG

What can I do to avoid the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Micky,

You can include a find (datarowcollection.find)

something as see it as pseudo
\\\\
dim detail as datarow = SetRightDetail.RightDetail.Rows.find(thekey)
if detail Is nothing then
Detail = SetRightDetail.RightDetail.NewRow()
detail.item(key) = key
SetRightDetail.RightDetail.Rows.Add(Detail)
end if
detail = ............................
////
I hope this helps

Thanks for your answer.

The problem is that the datarow isn't physically on the
table (it has been cleared just before entering in the
for...next loop) and the source table contains only 1 row
(it has the same primary key).

It looks like that after Detail is set to the NewRow, it
will point always to the same memory address and
consequently they will change together.

I tried to bypass the Add for the second row and after
everything was OK. The second row (in the source table)
has never been added to the target table.

I tried to use the find getting back only the first row.

Thanks,
LDV-ME.
 
Just a correction to my previous post.

Using the find function I get the same problem.

One way I avoided the problem I put a try...catch when I
was adding the row to the dataset (getting back all the
rows)... but still I would like to understand why.

Thanks again,
LDV-ME.

Hi Micky,

When you use a
try
' something
catch
'nothing in it
end try

You never get a real error, that is real bad behaviour.

If you have only one row in one table from a dataset why not just do
ds1.tables(0).rows(0)("myfirstItem") = ds2.tables(0).rows(0)("myfirstItem")
ds1.tables(0).rows(0)("mySecondItem") =
ds2.tables(0).rows(0)("mySecondItem")

And if you are sure the key is only item(0) and the datasets schemas are
equal
for i as integer = 1 to ds1.tables(0).rowcount - 1
ds1.tables(0).rows(0)(i) = ds2.tables(0).rows(0)(i)
next
To do all items in one time.

All typed in this message so watch typos

I hope this helps,

Thanks again Cor,

I know it is bad but it was the only way I found to bypass the error.
Actually in the catch I call the sub itself and when returns back to the
parent sub I have the entire dataset in the correct way.

I don't have only one row but I could have between 2 and 100 rows and the
XML schemas are not equals (there are equals elements but in different
positions).

In the application I have other datasets and they work just fine. This is
the first time this problem happened to me, and even more strange, it
happens only the first time the application call the sub... after that, it
works fine.

Thanks again,
LDV-ME.
 
Hi LDV-ME,

To find out whether or not there is another better method to resolve this
problem, would you please make a small sample to demonstrate how to
reproduce the same problem, so that I am able to reproduce the same problem
and perform further research on my side?

If you have further information about this problem, please let me know.

Thanks for your answer.

I tried to create a fast sample, but I cannot reproduce
the problem. As soon as I solve a more urgent problem that
it is stopping the deployment, I will work on reproducing
the problem.

Question: How can I post an attachment to my message from
the web interface, if I need to add files other than the
form to reproduce the error? I cannot use other programs
to access to the newsgroup.

Thanks,
LDV-ME
 
Hi LDV-ME,

You are able to send files to me directly to (e-mail address removed). Note to
provide detailed reproducing steps. I cannot reach you by email
(e-mail address removed).


If you have further information about this problem, please let me know.
