False error when trying to return data in datagrid

The Stored Procedure returns records within Query Analyzer.
But when the Stored Procedure is called by ADO.NET ~ it produced the
following error message.

---------------------------
Exception Message: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows
contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
---------------------------

---------------------------
Exception Source: System.Data
---------------------------

If I click OK past the error messages I will get data filling the
datagrid. However not as I would like to see it.


Even though it returns the proper data rows and includes all the
columns I asked for, it also returns plenty of columns I didn't ask for
(all the columns of the main table) and all those columns are filled
with "null"

In addition each row header contains a red exclaimation mark whch when
hovered over reads;

"Column 'cmEditedBy' does not allow DBNull.Values."

An interesting thing about this column 'cmEditedBy' is that there is
noting wrong with it and all rows for that column contain data.

I believe this error is a mistake! But it probably indicates some other
problem. How should I track its cause?

Below is the code in the data layer, the stored procedure, and the data
returned within query analyzer.

Nah, it sounds as if that message is produced by .Net Framework. The
stored procedure pleads innocense.
Even though it returns the proper data rows and includes all the
columns I asked for, it also returns plenty of columns I didn't ask for
(all the columns of the main table) and all those columns are filled
with "null"

Well, that column is not in the result set, so obviously when you try
to populated the DataSet, NULL values is all you get. And apparently
they are not permitted.

I don't have that much experience of ADO .Net, but it sounds to me that
you have run some wizard that has constructed your dataset, and you then
have not been careful which columns to include. (Personally, if I were
to work with data sets, I would probably construct them manually.) Or is
there some thought behind of including columns that are not reported by the
query?

While not relevant to your problem, permit me to point an issue of style
with your query: you table includes six tables, no column is prefixed
with any alias (or the table name). This makes it very difficult for
anyone who looks at query to tell which table, the columns are coming
from. This also mean that if the DBA adds, say, "Description" to one
more table, the procedure will no longer compile because that column name
is now ambiguous.
