I'm looking to compile data from a few diffrent custome lists in sharepoint 2007
Its a hosted sharepoint site so I don't have access to the machine backend.
Is there any example code to access the sharepoint site using c#?
here is my code thus far (i get the error Cannot connect to the Sharepoint site ''. Try again later.)
DataSet dt = new DataSet();
string query = "SELECT * FROM list";
string site = "http://sp.markonsolutions.com/Lists/Security/";
string list = "35E70EO4-6072-4T55-B741-4B75D5F3E397"; //security db
string myConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;WSS;IMEX=2;RetrieveIds=Yes; DATABASE="+site+";LIST={"+list+"};";
OleDbConnection myConnection = new OleDbConnection();
myConnection.ConnectionString = myConnectionString;
OleDbCommand myAccessCommand = new OleDbCommand(query,myConnection);
OleDbDataAdapter myDataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(myAccessCommand);
myConnection.Open();
myDataAdapter.Fill(dt);
//execute queries, etc
myConnection.Close();
If you can't deploy code on the SharePoint machine, then you pretty much have to use the web services.
The lists web service is what you're after.
It will be located on http://yousharepointsite.com/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx and should be open by default. Note that if your site is configured with FBA, you will have to use the _vti_bin/Authentication.asmx to log in before you query lists.asmx.
Here is an article that gives all the information you need :
http://sharepointmagazine.net/articles/writing-caml-queries-for-retrieving-list-items-from-a-sharepoint-list
For the reasons mentioned above, skip the part on using the object model to query SharePoint lists and go directly to Retrieving list items with CAML using the SharePoint web services.
The article is pretty complete, so I think you should be OK with that.
As per your edit, I don't think that you can create a connection to your remote site like that. You can't query SharePoint with SQL like that, you really need to use CAML...
Once you've added the reference to the web service :
ListService listsClient = new ListService.Lists();
listsClient.Url = #"http://sp.markonsolutions.com/" + #"/_vti_bin/lists.asmx";
listsClient.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
listsClient.GetListItems(...);
Read more on the GetListItems here
Like I said, you need to use the web services. You are heading towards a dead end if you are trying to create connection like that to query the database directly. It is not recommended.
Not sure if what you try to do is possible unless you use an ado.net connector for SharePoint, have a look at http://www.bendsoft.com/net-sharepoint-connector/
It enables you to talk to SharePoint lists as if they where ordinary sql-tables
In example to insert some data
public void SharePointConnectionExample1()
{
using (SharePointConnection connection = new SharePointConnection(#"
Server=mysharepointserver.com;
Database=mysite/subsite
User=spuser;
Password=******;
Authentication=Ntlm;
TimeOut=10;
StrictMode=True;
RecursiveMode=RecursiveAll;
DefaultLimit=1000;
CacheTimeout=5"))
{
connection.Open();
using (SharePointCommand command = new SharePointCommand("UPDATE `mytable` SET `mycolumn` = 'hello world'", connection))
{
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
}
Or to select list data to a DataTable
string query = "SELECT * FROM list";
conn = new SharePointConnection(connectionString);
SharePointDataAdapter adapter = new SharePointDataAdapter(query, conn);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
adapter.Fill(dt);
Or using a helper method to fill a DataGrid
string query = "Select * from mylist.viewname";
DataGrid dataGrid = new DataGrid();
dataGrid.DataSource = Camelot.SharePointConnector.Data.Helper.ExecuteDataTable(query, connectionString);
dataGrid.DataBind();
Controls.Add(dataGrid);

I want to connect to the tableau PostgreSQL server from my .Net framework to list all the reports and datasources published in the tableau server.
For doing this, I have done the following steps.
Added the npgsql.dll reference that i downloaded online
Added the below two namespaces in my class file
using NpgsqlTypes;
using Npgsql;
I added the connection sting as follows
I also tried with modifying the connection string with port value and renaming the DataSource to Server, Initial catalog to Database and provider Name to Npgsqll
My Method is as follows:
public DataTable getAllDataSourceNames()
{
DataTable dataSourceNames = new DataTable();
NpgsqlConnection conServer = new NpgsqlConnection(conString);
conServer.Open();
string command = #"select * from datasources";
NpgsqlDataAdapter sqlcmd = new NpgsqlDataAdapter(command,conServer);
sqlcmd.Fill(dataSourceNames);
return dataSourceNames;
}`
No error. I can build and run successfully the other links in the website. But cannot cannot establish connection to my postgresql server.
Any idea of how to establish the connection?
Working with Postgres Connection in c#:
private DataSet ds = new DataSet();
private DataTable dt = new DataTable();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void llOpenConnAndSelect_LinkClicked(object sender,
LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
// PostgeSQL-style connection string
string connstring = String.Format("Server={0};Port={1};" +
"User Id={2};Password={3};Database={4};",
tbHost.Text, tbPort.Text, tbUser.Text,
tbPass.Text, tbDataBaseName.Text );
// Making connection with Npgsql provider
NpgsqlConnection conn = new NpgsqlConnection(connstring);
conn.Open();
// quite complex sql statement
string sql = "SELECT * FROM simple_table";
// data adapter making request from our connection
NpgsqlDataAdapter da = new NpgsqlDataAdapter(sql, conn);
// i always reset DataSet before i do
// something with it.... i don't know why :-)
ds.Reset();
// filling DataSet with result from NpgsqlDataAdapter
da.Fill(ds);
// since it C# DataSet can handle multiple tables, we will select first
dt = ds.Tables[0];
// connect grid to DataTable
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
// since we only showing the result we don't need connection anymore
conn.Close();
}
catch (Exception msg)
{
// something went wrong, and you wanna know why
MessageBox.Show(msg.ToString());
throw;
}
}
The following link may help you: Using PostgreSQL in your C# .NET application
Short answer -- no, not sure what's wrong. Your code doesn't raise any alarm bells.
Somewhat related, and it may help: I'm a big fan of the Connection StringBuilder with Npgsql. Here is a brief example:
NpgsqlConnectionStringBuilder sb = new NpgsqlConnectionStringBuilder();
sb.ApplicationName = "Tableau " + Environment.GetEvironmentVariable("USERNAME");
sb.Host = "1.2.3.4";
sb.Port = 5432;
sb.Username = "foo";
sb.Password = "bar";
sb.Database = "postgres";
sb.Pooling = false;
sb.Timeout = 120;
conServer = new NpgsqlConnection(sb.ToString());
It demistifies all of this and makes injecting parameters easy. I highly recommend you add the ApplicationName property so that when you are monitoring sessions, you will know who is who.
Firstly please don't mark it as duplicate I know it's been asked multiple times here but none of the links helped me.
I am trying to access database which is located on shared drive, also both the mdb file and the folder in which it is stored have full access to everyone. I have hosted my application on two different machines.
Below is the code to connect to access DB
OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = null;
DataTable dtAttendance = new DataTable();
try
{
string conStr = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AccessDBPath"].ToString();
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Mode= Share Deny None;Data Source= " + conStr))
{
conn.Open();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(#"Select EmployeeId AS UserId,AttendanceDate , format(Int(Duration/60),'0') AS Duration,format(Duration Mod 60,'0') AS Remain FROM AttendanceLogs
where EmployeeId =" + userid.ToString() + " and Year(AttendanceDate)="+year+" and Month(AttendanceDate)="+month+" order by AttendanceDate desc", conn);
dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
dataAdapter.Fill(dtAttendance);
conn.Close();
}
}
catch(Exception ee)
{}
Only first time when I tested it, it worked properly and thereafter it started throwing above error.
I am trying to connect to an MS Access database (.mdb) through OleDb. My query is
SELECT * FROM ListQueries
which fetches me the error
SQL Execution Error.
Executed SQL Statement: SELECT * FROM ListQueries
Error Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
Error Message: Records cannot be read; No read permission on 'MSysObjects'.
Then I tried this answer, but it did not help. Then I saw another answer says to do this.
strDdl = "GRANT SELECT ON MSysObjects TO Admin;"
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strDdl
I do not know how to implement that in my web project. Was writing something like this as per this suggestion by #HansUp
Alternatively, it should work from c# if you run it from an OleDb connection to the Access db
The code is,
OleDbConnection con;
using (con = new OleDbConnection(Connection.connectionString()))
{
con.Open();
using (var com = new OleDbCommand("GRANT SELECT ON MSysObjects TO Admin", con))
{
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
using (var com = new OleDbCommand("Select * from ListQueries", con))
{
using (var dr = com.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
qryList.Add(SQLReaderExtensions.SafeGetString(dr, "Name"));
}
dr.Close();
}
}
con.Close();
}
The first com.ExecuteNonQuery() gives me this error.
Cannot open the Microsoft Jet engine workgroup information file.
I would really like to know how to grant permission for an OleDb call to work. Any suggestions will be wonderful
P.S: BTW, I am using MS Access 2010.
I strongly suggest that you do not use MS Access system objects. There are other and better ways to get the information.
You have a choice of ADO and DAO. Which would you prefer? Note that in ADO there is a difference between action (adSchemaProcedures) and select queries (adSchemaViews).
For example,
public static List<string> GetAllQueriesFromDataBase()
{
var queries = new List<string>();
using (var con = new OleDbConnection(Connection.connectionString()))
{
con.Open();
var dt = con.GetSchema("Views");
queries = dt.AsEnumerable().Select(dr => dr.Field<string>("TABLE_NAME")).ToList();
}
return queries;
}
The programs I am using are WAMP server (and its mysql feature in particular) and MS Visual Studio 2010 and I am programming in C#
Basically, here is what I need and can currently do with my application.
I have several datagridview's throughout the project and the first is simple, it loads all data from a specific table in the database at the push of a button. I have another form which I can insert records and have somehow managed to make a delete function which asks the user for 2 fields (first name and last name) and then it places these into a query and carries out the command.
What do I need to do?
I need to be able to implement some way for the form to update the database. I have chosen to do this through a datagridview control so the user can see what they are editting whilst they edit it.
I have the following code which I have tried to update the database based on the data in the datagridview control.
string connString = "server=localhost;User Id=root;database=collegelist;";
MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connString);
string selectSQL = "SELECT * FROM collegeemployee";
conn.Open();
MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(selectSQL, conn);
MySqlCommandBuilder builder = new MySqlCommandBuilder(da);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
try
{
dgView2.Rows.RemoveAt(dgView2.CurrentRow.Index);
da.Update(table);
}
catch (Exception exceptionObj)
{
MessageBox.Show(exceptionObj.Message.ToString());
}
the problem with this code (listed in a method obviously) is that while the grid is able to be modified, it is unable to pass the data back to the database.
Instead of updating your database with the empty table what you should do is.
i.Get the datasource . like
ii. Update/synchronize the data source and data adapter
Here is the code it should work, if it doesn't please comment and tell me the problem.
string connString = "server=localhost;User Id=root;database=collegelist;";
MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connString);
string selectSQL = "SELECT * FROM collegeemployee";
conn.Open();
MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(selectSQL, conn);
MySqlCommandBuilder builder = new MySqlCommandBuilder(da);
BindingSource BindingSourceToUpdate = (BindingSource)dgView2.DataSource; // because direct casting to data table was failing in VS2o1o
try
{
dgView2.Rows.RemoveAt(dgView2.CurrentRow.Index);
da.Update((DataTable)BindingSourceToUpdate.DataSource);
}
catch(exception)
{
}
conn.close();
I am trying to build a .NET web application using SQL to query AS400 database. This is my first time encountering the AS400.
What do I have to install on my machine (or the AS400 server) in order to connect?
(IBM iSeries Access for Windows ??)
What are the components of the connection string?
Where can I find sample codes on building the Data Access Layer using SQL commands?
Thanks.
You need the AS400 .Net data provider. Check here:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1027163
For connection string samples, check here:
https://www.connectionstrings.com/as-400/
Also, check out the redbook for code examples and getting started.
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246440.pdf
Following is what I did to resolve the issue.
Installed the IBM i Access for Windows. Not free
Referred the following dlls in the project
IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll
Interop.cwbx.dll (If Data Queue used)
Interop.AD400.dll (If Data Queue used)
Data Access
using (iDB2Command command = new iDB2Command())
{
command.Connection = (iDB2Connection)_connection;
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(Constants.ParamInterfaceTransactionNo, 1);
command.CommandText = dynamicInsertString;
command.ExecuteScalar();
}
Connection String
<add name="InterfaceConnection"
connectionString="Data Source=myserver.mycompany.com;User ID=idbname;Password=mypassxxx;
Default Collection=ASIPTA;Naming=System"/>
UPDATE
i Access for Windows on operating systems beyond Windows 8.1 may not be supported. Try the replacement product IBM i Access Client Solutions
IBM i Access Client Solutions
As mentioned in other answers, if you have the IBM i Access client already installed, you can use the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries package.
If you don't have the IBM i Access software, you can leverage JTOpen and use the Java drivers. You'll need the nuget package JT400.78 which will pull in the IKVM Runtime.
In my case I needed to query a DB2 database on an AS400 and output a DataTable. I found several hints and small snippets of code but nothing comprehensive so I wanted to share what I was able to build up in case it helps someone else:
using com.ibm.as400.access;
using java.sql;
var sql = "SELECT * FROM FOO WITH UR";
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:as400:" + ServerName + ";prompt=false", UserName, Password);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
int ct = md.getColumnCount();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
for(int i=1; i<=ct; i++)
dt.Columns.Add(md.getColumnName(i));
while (rs.next())
{
var dr = dt.NewRow();
for (int i = 1; i <= ct; i++)
dr[i - 1] = rs.getObject(i);
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
}
rs.close();
The conversion from RecordSet to DataTable is a little clunky and gave me bad flashbacks to my VBScript days. Performance likely isn't blinding fast, but it works.
Extremely old question - but this is still relevant. I needed to query our AS/400 using .NET but none of the answers above worked and so I ended up creating my own method using OleDb:
public DataSet query_iseries(string datasource, string query, string[] parameterName, string[] parameterValue)
{
try
{
// Open a new stream connection to the iSeries
using (var iseries_connection = new OleDbConnection(datasource))
{
// Create a new command
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, iseries_connection);
// Bind parameters to command query
if (parameterName.Count() >= 1)
{
for (int i = 0; i < parameterName.Count(); i++)
{
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#" + parameterName[i], parameterValue[i]);
}
}
// Open the connection
iseries_connection.Open();
// Create a DataSet to hold the data
DataSet iseries_data = new DataSet();
// Create a data adapter to hold results of the executed command
using (OleDbDataAdapter data_adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command))
{
// Fill the data set with the results of the data adapter
data_adapter.Fill(iseries_data);
}
return iseries_data;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return null;
}
}
And you would use it like so:
DataSet results = query_iseries("YOUR DATA SOURCE", "YOUR SQL QUERY", new string[] { "param_one", "param_two" }, new string[] { "param_one_value", "param_two_value"});
It returns a DataSet of the results returned. If anyone needs/wants a method for inserting/updating values within the IBM AS/400, leave a comment and I'll share...
I'm using this code and work very good for me!
Try
Dim sqltxt As String = "SELECT * FROM mplib.pfcarfib where LOTEF=" & My.Settings.loteproceso
dt1 = New DataTable
Dim ConAS400 As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
ConAS400.ConnectionString = "Provider=IBMDA400;" & _
"Data Source=192.168.100.100;" & _
"User ID=" & My.Settings.usuario & ";" & _
"Password=" & My.Settings.contrasena
Dim CmdAS400 As New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sqltxt, ConAS400)
Dim sqlAS400 As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
sqlAS400.SelectCommand = CmdAS400
ConAS400.Open()
sqlAS400.Fill(dt1)
grid_detalle.DataSource = dt1
grid_detalle.DataMember = dt1.TableName
Catch ex As Exception
DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraMessageBox.Show("Comunicación Con El AS400 No Establecida, Notifique a Informatica..", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
Me.Close()
End Try
I recently found the ADO.Net driver available on NuGet. I have the iSeries client access installed on my PC, so I can't say if it works as a standalone, but it does connect. Theonly problem is I can't actually see any tables or procedures. I think there may be a schema or library or something I still haven't gotten down to. I will post if I find the answer. Meanwhile I can still get to the server and write most of my code with the NuGet adapter.
Check out http://asna.com/us/ as they have some development tools working with SQL and the AS400.
