Comparing two datasets

Hello,

I am trying to write a webservice to compare 2 datasets, one recieved
from a client, and the other taken from a database on the webserver.

Sofar, I have had little success in accomplishing that, but that may
be due to the fact that I'm a relative newbie on C# :-)

Does anybody have a clue, a hint, or maybe even some sample code?

Thanks in advance

Hi
i just had this idea that you might want to try
First try to get a copy of one of your datasets in an new dataset lets say
you have datasets D1 & D2
DataSet copy = D1;
Set use accept changes on copy so you preserve its state
copy.AcceptChan ges();//we did that so when we do the merge we know that
changes in //the copy will only come from D2
Then make "copy" equal to the merge of D1 and D2 ,since it already has D1
so you will do the following
Copy.Merge(D2);//make copy a merge to D1 and D2
Then we get the changes that happed on copy by the merge on a new dataset
" lets say changes
DataSet Changes = copy.GetChanges ();
Then we see if changes has no data then we know that the 2 dataset
origanlly had the samedata ( me be we should apply AcceptChanges on D2 as
well before we do the merge )
Hope this solution meet your needs

I want to compare two datasets and retireive the differences. Is the an easy way to do this without trawling through the all records and fields? The basic problem is this. I get a dataset and copy it. I then load the data into a web form. The user then makes any changes to the form. when he saves the form data all the fields are written back to the dataset whether there have been any changes or not. I then want to compare this saved dataset...

I can accomplish this relatively easily but inefficiently, and it seems like a hack, but I cant think of a better workaround. Hopefully someone else here can. My task is to perform an update on a dataset retrieved from SQL Server 2000 using a stored procedure. This is the base dataset. Users will send an Excel document up to a webserver and that excel document, which matches the schema of the SQL dataset (few differences but nothing ...

In one of the applications that I'm working on I have 2 sets of functions that build different datasets. Imagine 4 columns in a datagrid. Inside those 4 columns I have nested datalists. Two of the datalists' datasources point to database A and the other two point to database B. This effect allows the client to perform a side-by-side comparison of the same product so that records can be updated accordingly. It's easy enough to scroll down...

Hello, Developing an app where the user fills out a sometimes quite lengthy form of chkboxes, txtboxes, radbtns, etc. User responses are saved to a mySql db, which the user can later edit. When the user chooses to edit, I pull the responses from the db, toss them in a dataset, check the checks, fill the txtboxes, etc.,etc. The user then adds, deletes, or changes entries as needed and clicks the Save Changes button. Here is where the fun...

Hi all; as posted some days ago, I'm converting an on-line app; I used to heavily rely on strongly-typed DataSets directly dropped onto pages, and so viewed by code(-behind) as well. In the next two weeks I discovered that such objects are no more directly usable in pages, namely in DataGrid which don't see them any more. Even if rebuilt in Component Designer, and so visible in code, DataSets are invisible in Page Designer, so now it's...

I'm trying to decide if it is better to use typed datasets or business objects, so I would appreciate any thoughts from someone with more experience. When I use a business object to populate a gridview, for example, I loop through a datareader, populating an array list with instances of a custom class in the middle tier, and then send the array list up to the presentation layer and bind the gridview to it. If I use a typed dataset, I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
