C# - Microsoft sql database | Can't add new user on my e-contact app

I tried to make an e-contact app with C# on Visual Studio 2019 connected to a Miscrosoft SQL database (local) following a youtube tutorial.
The app is not complete yet, anyway the btnAdd should work, but it doesn't add the user and the return of the method (Insert).
It always returns false - Can anyone help me?
private void BntAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
//Get the value from the imput fields
c.Nome = txtBoxName.Text;
c.Cognome = txtBoxSurname.Text;
c.Telefono1= txtBoxPhone1.Text;
c.Telefono = txtBoxPhone.Text;
c.Email = txtBoxEmail.Text;
//Inserting Data into Database uing the method we created is previous episode
bool success = c.Insert(c);
if (success == true)
{
//Successfully Inserted
MessageBox.Show("New contact added!");
//Call the clear Method Here
Clear();
}
else
{
//Failed to add Contact
MessageBox.Show("ERROR!)");
}
//load Data on Data GRidview
DataTable dt = c.Select();
dgvRubrica.DataSource = dt;
}
public void Clear()
{
txtBoxName.Text = "";
txtBoxSurname.Text = "";
txtBoxPhone1.Text = "";
txtBoxPhone.Text = "";
txtBoxEmail.Text = "";
}
public bool Insert (rubricaClass c) {
bool isSuccess = false;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(myconnstrng);
try
{
string sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_Rubrica (Nome, Cognome, Telefono1, Telefono, Email) VALUES (#Nome, #Cognome, #Telefono1, #Telefono, #Email)";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Nome", c.Nome);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Cognome", c.Cognome);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Telefono1", c.Telefono1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Telefono", c.Telefono);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Email", c.Email);
conn.Open();
int rows = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (rows > 0)
{
isSuccess = true;
}
else
{
isSuccess = false;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
return isSuccess;
}
It doesn't give any errors, it work but when i type the ata into txtBoxes and then i press the add button it says Error (message box inserte in the else)

Step 1 is to remove the catch-all exception handling from the Insert method. Most of the ADO.NET database classes implement IDisposable, so you just need a using(...) block to make sure the command is disposed automatically (which will also close and dispose the connection instance):
public bool Insert (rubricaClass c)
{
bool isSuccess = false;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(myconnstrng);
string sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_Rubrica (Nome, Cognome, Telefono1, Telefono, Email) VALUES (#Nome, #Cognome, #Telefono1, #Telefono, #Email)";
using(SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Nome", c.Nome);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Cognome", c.Cognome);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Telefono1", c.Telefono1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Telefono", c.Telefono);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Email", c.Email);
conn.Open();
int rows = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (rows > 0)
{
isSuccess = true;
}
else
{
isSuccess = false;
}
}
return isSuccess;
}
Once that's squared away, Step 2 is to move your exception handling into the application. I don't recommend this "catch everything"-style code, but it works for now, I suppose:
private void BntAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Get the value from the imput fields
c.Nome = txtBoxName.Text;
c.Cognome = txtBoxSurname.Text;
c.Telefono1= txtBoxPhone1.Text;
c.Telefono = txtBoxPhone.Text;
c.Email = txtBoxEmail.Text;
try
{
//Inserting Data into Database uing the method we created is previous episode
bool success = c.Insert(c);
if (success == true)
{
//Successfully Inserted
MessageBox.Show("New contact added!");
//Call the clear Method Here
Clear();
}
else
{
//Failed to add Contact
MessageBox.Show("ERROR!)");
}
//load Data on Data GRidview
DataTable dt = c.Select();
dgvRubrica.DataSource = dt;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
This will likely tell you that you either have an error in your SQL syntax, or that the command itself could not be run (i.e. the connection string is invalid or the server can't be reached).

Copying tables from one database to another on same server

As the server requires a connection for each database, the answers I've found in SO don't work at all.
For some tables I have to make some calculations before copying the rows, but some I can copy whole table. And finally it's an automation in my program that I've wrote.
Oldcn is the connection to old database, Newcn for the new database.
For the tables that I can copy whole I wrote this procedure below.
Is there a better an short way to do this job? (It works on background)
private string[] CopyTva(MySqlConnection Oldcn, MySqlConnection Newcn, string[] res, DoWorkEventArgs we,string msg)
{
int counter = int.Parse(res[1]);
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM tvaval", Oldcn);
MySqlCommand cmd1 = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO tvaval (id,tvavalue,cr_user,cr_date,up_user,up_date) VALUES (#id,#tvavalue,#cr_user,#cr_date,#up_user,#up_date)", Newcn);
MySqlDataReader rd = null;
try
{
rd = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (rd.Read())
{
cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#id", rd["id"].ToString());
//bla bla same as above
try
{
cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (MySqlException e)
{
rd.Dispose();
res[2] = "Erreur:TVA " + e.Message.ToString();
return res;
}
++counter;
bgw.ReportProgress((counter * 100) / DbTotalRow,msg);
cmd1.Parameters.Clear();
}
rd.Dispose();
}
catch (MySqlException e)
{
res[2] = "Erreur:TVA " + e.Message.ToString();
return res;
}
res[0] = "1";res[1] = counter.ToString();res[2] = "";
return res;
}

MySQL doesn't require a separate connection for each database. A connection has a default database, but you're allowed to specify the database name explicitly before the table name, and this will override the default. So you can do this with a single query:
INSERT INTO newdb.tvaval
SELECT * FROM olddb.tvaval

SQL rows are not being deleted

So I have this code that is designed to delete a row in mySQL server database judging by what is selected in my list box. Here is the code I have to remove the rows:
private void remove_btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (Calls_lsb.SelectedItem == null)
MessageBox.Show("Please select an item for deletion.");
}
else
{
int i = Calls_lsb.SelectedIndex;
if (i > 0)
{
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(//My Connection String);
string sqlStatement1 = "DELETE FROM Records WHERE CallID = #Id";
string sqlStatement2 = "DELETE FROM Calls WHERE CallID = #Id";
connection.Open();
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand(sqlStatement1, connection);
cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", Calls_lsb.Items[i]);
cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(sqlStatement2, connection);
cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", Calls_lsb.Items[i]);
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();
Calls_lsb.Items.Remove(Calls_lsb.Items[i]);
}
else
{
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}
I get no exceptions and I have similar code that adds records that works fine. I tried stepping into the code but it all seemed fine. It simply just does not delete the row from the database. It removes the correct item from the list, just not the database.
If anyone could shine some light on this situation that would be great, thanks!
Edit : Ok, I seem to have fixed the problem. I just removed the whole i = selected index stuff and replace the 'Calls_lsb.Items[i]' with '(Calls_lsb.SelectedIndex + 1)'. I don't really understand why I was getting an exception when I tried to add 1 to i as this is basically doing the same thing.

Replace your below line code.
cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", Calls_lsb.Items[i]);
//with
cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", Calls_lsb.Items[i].Value);
and
cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", Calls_lsb.Items[i]);
// with
cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", Calls_lsb.Items[i].Value);

Why is my SQL Server CE code failing?

In my WindowsCE / Compact Framework (.NET1.1) project, I need to create a new table in code. I thought I could do it this way:
if (! TableExists("table42"))
{
CreateTable42();
}
public static bool TableExists(string tableName)
{
try
{
using (SqlCeConnection sqlConn = new SqlCeConnection(#"Data Source=\my documents\Platypus.SDF"))
{
sqlConn.Open();
string qryStr = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = ?";
SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand(qryStr, sqlConn);
cmd.Parameters[0].Value = tableName;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
int retCount = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
return retCount > 0;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("TableExists ex.Message == " + ex.Message);
MessageBox.Show("TableExists ex.ToString() == " + ex.ToString());
MessageBox.Show("TableExists ex.GetBaseException() == " + ex.GetBaseException());
return false;
}
}
...but the call to TableExists() fails; and shows me:
TableExists ex.Message ==
TableExists ex.ToString() == System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlConnection.ProcessResults(Int32 hr) at ...at Open(boolean silent) ...
TableExists ex.GetBaseException() == [same as ex.ToString() above]
"Int32 hr" ... ??? What the Hec Ramsey is that?
As documented previously in these environs, I can't step through this projct, so I rely on those calls to MessageBox.Show().
The rest of the related code, if it may be of interest, is:
public static void CreateTable42()
{
try
{
using (SqlCeConnection con = new SqlCeConnection(#"Data Source=\my documents\Platypus.SDF"))
{
con.Open();
using (SqlCeCommand com = new SqlCeCommand(
"create table table42 (setting_id INT IDENTITY NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, setting_name varchar(40) not null, setting_value(63) varchar not null)", con))
{
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
WriteSettingsVal("table42settingname","table42settingval");
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("CreateTable42 " + ex.Message);
}
}
public static void WriteSettingsVal(string settingName, string settingVal)
{
using (SqlCeConnection sqlConn = new SqlCeConnection(#"Data Source=\my documents\Platypus.SDF"))
{
sqlConn.Open();
string dmlStr = "insert into tabld42 (setting_name, setting_value) values(?, ?)";
SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand(dmlStr, sqlConn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters[0].Value = settingName;
cmd.Parameters[1].Value = settingVal;
try
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("WriteSettingsVal " + ex.Message);
}
}
}
UPDATE
Answer to Brad Rem's comment:
I don't think it's necessary to encase the param in quotes, as other working code is like:
cmd.Parameters.Add("#account_id", Dept.AccountID);
-and:
cmd.Parameters[0].Value = Dept.AccountID;
(it does it one way the first time when in a loop, and the other way thereafter (don't ask me why).
Anyway, just for grins, I did change the TableExists() parameter code from this:
cmd.Parameters[0].Value = tableName;
...to this:
cmd.Parameters.Add("#TABLE_NAME", tableName);
...but I still get the exact same result.
UPDATE 2
Here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa237891(v=SQL.80).aspx) I found this: "Caution You must specify the SQL Server CE provider string when you open a SQL Server CE database."
They give this example:
cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.OLEDB.CE.2.0; data source=\Northwind.sdf"
I'm not doing that; my conn str is:
using (SqlCeConnection sqlConn = new SqlCeConnection(#"Data Source=\my documents\CCRDB.SDF"))
Could that be my problem?
UPDATE 3
I took this gent's advice (http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/629613/Why-is-my-SQLServer-CE-code-failing?cmt=487657#answer1) and added a catch for SqlCeExcpetions so that it is now:
public static bool TableExists(string tableName)
{
try
{
using (SqlCeConnection sqlConn = new SqlCeConnection(#"Data Source=\my documents\CCRDB.SDF"))
{
sqlConn.Open();
string qryStr = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = #TABLE_NAME";
SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand(qryStr, sqlConn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#TABLE_NAME", tableName);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
int retCount = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
return retCount > 0;
}
}
catch (SqlCeException sqlceex)
{
MessageBox.Show("TableExists sqlceex.Message == " + sqlceex.Message);
MessageBox.Show("TableExists sqlceex.ToString() == " + sqlceex.ToString());
return false;
. . .
The SqlCeException message is: "There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file [,,,,,]" then "...processresults ... open ... getinstance ..."
UPDATE 4
Trying to use ctacke's sample code, but: Is Transaction absolutely necessary? I had to change the code to the following for my scenario/milieu, and don't know what Transaction should be or how to build it:
public static bool TableExists(string tableName)
{
string sql = string.Format("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_name = '{0}'", tableName);
try
{
using (SqlCeConnection sqlConn = new SqlCeConnection(#"Data Source=\my documents\HHSDB.SDF"))
{
SqlCeCommand command = new SqlCeCommand(sql, sqlConn);
//command.Transaction = CurrentTransaction as SqlCeTransaction;
command.Connection = sqlConn;
command.CommandText = sql;
int count = Convert.ToInt32(command.ExecuteScalar());
return (count > 0);
}
}
catch (SqlCeException sqlceex)
{
MessageBox.Show("TableExists sqlceex.Message == " + sqlceex.Message);
return false;
}
}
UPDATE 5
With this code, the err msg I get is, "An err msg is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently insallted on this device. Please install ... NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab"
UPDATE 6
All too typically, this legacy, ancient-technology project is giving me headaches. It seems that only one connection is allowed to be open at a time, and the app opens one from the outset; so, I have to use that connection. However, it is a DBConnection, not a SqlCeConnection, so I can't use this code:
using (SqlCeCommand com = new SqlCeCommand(
"create table hhs_settings (setting_id int identity (1,1) Primary key, setting_name varchar(40) not null, setting_value(63) varchar not null)", frmCentral.dbconn))
{
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
WriteSettingsVal("beltprinter", "ZebraQL220");
}
...because the already-open connection type passed as an arg to the SqlCeCommand constructor is DBCommand, not the expected/required SqlCeConneection.
The tentacles of this code are far too wide and entrenched to rip out by the roots and refactor to make it more sensible: a single tentative step in the foothills causes a raging avalanche on Everest.

For fun I'd try two things. First, replace the '?' parameter with a named parameter like '#tablename' and see if that changes things. Yes, I know '?' should work, but it's a confusing, ugly precedent and maybe since it's a system table it's wonky. Yes, it's a stretch, but worth a try just to know.
The second thing I'd do is something like this method from the SQLCE implementation of the OpenNETCF ORM:
public override bool TableExists(string tableName)
{
var connection = GetConnection(true);
try
{
using (var command = GetNewCommandObject())
{
command.Transaction = CurrentTransaction as SqlCeTransaction;
command.Connection = connection;
var sql = string.Format("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_name = '{0}'", tableName);
command.CommandText = sql;
var count = Convert.ToInt32(command.ExecuteScalar());
return (count > 0);
}
}
finally
{
DoneWithConnection(connection, true);
}
}
Note that I didn't even bother parameterizing, largely because I doubt it will provide any perf benefit (queue the hordes whining about SQL injection). This way definitely works - we've got it deployed and in use in many live solutions.
EDIT
For completeness (though I'm not sure it adds to clarity).

var connection = GetNewConnectionObject();

wow... still struggling... I did too when I first got started on a handheld device SQL-CE. My current project is running with C#.Net 3.5 but I think the principles you are running into are the same. Here is what is working for my system in it's close parallels to yours.
First, the connection string to the handheld. It is just
string myConnString = #"Data Source=\MyFolder\MyData.sdf";
no reference to the sql driver
Next, the TableExists
SqlCeCommand oCmd = new SqlCeCommand( "select * from INFORMATION_SCHEME.TABLES "
+ " where TABLE_NAME = #pTableName" );
oCmd.Parameters.Add( new SqlCeParameter( "pTableName", YourTableParameterToFunction ));
The "#pTableName" is to differentiate between the "TABLE_NAME" column and to absolutely prevent any issues about ambiguity. The Parameter does NOT get the extra "#". In SQL, the # indicates to look for a variable... The SqlCeParameter of "pTableName" must match as it is in the SQL Command (but without the leading "#").
Instead of issuing a call to ExecuteScalar, I am actually pulling the data down into a DataTable via
DataTable oTmpTbl = new DataTable();
SqlCeDataAdapter da = new SqlCeDataAdapter( oCmd );
da.Fill( oTmpTbl );
bool tblExists = oTbl.Rows.Count > 0;
This way, I either get records back or I dont... if I do, the number of records should be > 0. Since I'm not doing a "LIKE", it should only return the one in question.
When you get into your insert, updates and deletes, I have always tried to prefix my parameters with something like "#pWhateverColumn" and make sure the SqlCeParameter is by the same name but without the "#". I haven't had any issues and this project has been running for years. Yes it's a .net 3.5 app, but the fundamental basics of connecting and querying SHOULD be the same.
If it IS all within your application, I would try something like creating a single global static "Connection" object. Then, a single static method to handle it. Then, instead of doing a NEW connection during every "using" attempt, change it to something like...
public static class ConnectionHandler
{
static SqlCeConnection myGlobalConnection;
public static SqlCeConnection GetConnection()
{
if( myGlobalConnection == null )
myGlobalConnection = new SqlCeConnection();
return myGlobalConnection;
}
public static bool SqlConnect()
{
GetConnection(); // just to ensure object is created
if( myGlobalConnection.State != System.Data.ConnectionState.Open)
{
try
{
myGlobalConnection.ConnectionString = #"Data Source=\MyFolder\MyDatabase.sdf";
myGlobalConnection.Open();
}
catch( Exception ex)
{
// optionally messagebox, or preserve the connection error to the user
}
}
if( myGlobalConnection.State != System.Data.ConnectionState.Open )
MessageBox.Show( "notify user");
// return if it IS successful at opening the connection (or was already open)
return myGlobalConnection.State == System.Data.ConnectionState.Open;
}
public static void SqlDisconnect()
{
if (myGlobalConnection!= null)
{
if (myGlobalConnection.State == ConnectionState.Open)
myGlobalConnection.Close();
// In case some "other" state, always try to force CLOSE
// such as Connecting, Broken, Fetching, etc...
try
{ myGlobalConnection.Close(); }
catch
{ // notify user if issue}
}
}
}
... in your other class / function...
if( ConnectionHandler.SqlConnect() )
Using( SqlCeConnection conn = ConnectionHandler.GetConnection )
{
// do your stuff
}
... finally, when your app is finished, or any other time you need to...
ConnectionHandler.SqlDisconnect();
This keeps things centralized, and you don't have to worry about open/close, what the connection string is buried all over the place, etc... If you can't connect, you can't run a query, don't try to run the query if it can't even get that far.

I think it may be a permission issue on INFORMATION_SCHEMA system views. Try the following.
GRANT VIEW DEFINITION TO your_user;

check for duplicate records in a sql server table using c#

I have a table in SQL server that contains string data on two columns. I also have a "add" method in c# , but I don't what to be able to add the same data on the two columns again.For example in the table I have data similar to this:
code first_name last_name
1 john smith
2 mike croft
I don't want to have the possibility to add john smith or mike croft again even if the code is different. I'm kind of new to c# so if someone could give me a simple answer in a code I would really appreciate it.
P.S. The code is the primary key , and I have other columns as well.
This is the code i have :
Form1 obj = (Form1)Application.OpenForms["Form1"];
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(#" Data Source=HOME-D2CADC8D4F\SQL;Initial Catalog=motociclete;Integrated Security=True");
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
pictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
byte[] pic_arr = new byte[ms.Length];
ms.Position = 0;
ms.Read(pic_arr, 0, pic_arr.Length);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into motociclete(firma,model,poza,pret,anf,greutate,caprez,putere,garantie,stoc) values (#firma,#model,#poza,#pret,#anf,#greutate,#caprez,#putere,#garantie,#stoc)",cn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#firma", textBox3.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#model", textBox10.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#poza", pic_arr);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#pret", textBox7.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#anf", textBox4.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#greutate", textBox9.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#caprez", textBox5.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#putere", textBox8.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#garantie", textBox6.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#stoc", textBox2.Text);
cn.Open();
try
{
int rez = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (rez > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Adaugare reusita ");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally {
cn.Close();
obj.loaddata();
this.Close();
}
}
}
I don't want to be able to add two records with the same "firma" and "model".But it's ok if one of them repeats itself.
I hope the code helps.

I did it by adding a CONSTRAINT in SQL. It works now. If anyone has a similar problem this is the code I wrote in SQL:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[motociclete]
ADD CONSTRAINT uniq UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ([firma],[model])
Here is a link to a youtube video that helped me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS-KEu0pwXI

Here is check for duplicate record first u want to select if txt
values have in sql so don't insert otherwise insert
bool readerHasRows = false; // <-- Initialize bool here for later use
string firma= txt_friema.Text;
string model= txt_model.Text;
//string color_na = textBox3.Text;
string commandQuery = "SELECT firma,model FROM motociclete WHERE firma = #firma or model=#model";
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(commandQuery, con))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#firma", txt_friema.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#model", txt_model.Text);
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
// bool initialized above is set here
readerHasRows = (reader != null && reader.HasRows);
}
}
if (readerHasRows)
{
MessageBox.Show("Already Exists!!");
}
else
{
//your insertion qrocedure
}
