In this article, scott examines the usage of LinqDataSource Control with the help of an example.
Over the last few weeks I've been writing a series of blog posts that cover LINQ to SQL. LINQ to SQL is a built-in O/RM (object relational mapper) that ships in the .NET Framework 3.5 release, and which enables you to easily model relational databases using .NET classes. You can use LINQ expressions to query the database with them, as well as update/insert/delete data....

With Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the collection of statistics techniques and machine learning algorithms generically known as data mining is brought up to a new level. The most important change is that, in SQL Server 2005, data mining changes its target audience. Besides being a scientific lab instrument, addressing a limited number of highly skilled individuals, SQL Server Data Mining now gains ubiquity as a handy tool for developers, ready to be used in a wide range of applications.

I can't count the number of times I've answered questions in the newsgroups, forums, and from the attendees at the tech conferences that imply that developers think ADO.NET (or any of the data access interfaces) are designed to handle "bulk" operations. The question often sounds like:

"Ah, I've got this 6 million rows of data that I need to get from X (an external data source of some kind), process at the client, and send up to my SQL Server production table. I can't seem to get it al...

While working on an events calendar for ASPAlliance.com, I needed to take birth dates stored in my columnist database and figure out which columnists had birthdays that fell within a particular date range. I also wanted to retrieve the columnist's age, although I'm not sure if I'll end up displaying that in the final version of the events calendar. The query also works for anniversary dates.

Basically, the query I came up with has 8 parts that it checks for:

1. Is the dob (dat...

Moving a SQL Server database from one server to another is simple-initially. But there are various methods for moving a database, and some have more advantages than others. Investigating the types of moves ahead of time can make planning for a database migration easier.

It takes essentially three steps to move a database from one server to another: take the database out of production, copy it to another server, and then bring the copy back into production. While you can choose from many m...

The backing up and restoring databases and transaction logs is a way that SQL Server provides to protect from data loss. The backup operation creates a copy of a database. This copy can be used to restore the database if the media failure occurs or if the database is somehow damaged (for example, from the user errors)....

I am running very low on storage to support my SQL Server 2000 user defined databases on a number of my production SQL Server instances. We have made the decision to invest in some sort of NAS\SAN or direct attached storage solution.

I have seen your script for capacity planning at a table level (Easing the Capacity Planning Burden), but how can I ro...

Dynamically Bind Your Data Layer to Stored Procedures and SQL Commands Using .NET Metadata and Reflection        
Total Hits: 109  |  Today: 0 Author: Atif Aziz       Rating:

One major inconvenience of using SQL stored procedures from code is having to match type information. You have to write long wrapper functions around the procedures just to expose the data types. In the .NET Framework, however, the reflection services of the System.Reflection namespace allow you to query rich metadata that describe data types. This article explains how to use reflection in .NET to end your stored procedure nightmares. The author creates four custom classes, including one that ge...
