Hey,
I am stuck on this little problem, I have a database which I use to fill a
dataset when my application loads, however at certain intervals Im filling
another dataset using the same database. What i need to do is find any new
records added. Ive tried all kinds of thinks like DataSet.Merge e.t.c but
just can seem to get the right code combination to find the new records, any
feedback will be really appreciated.
Regards
James

Hi James,
Do you have an autoinc primary key?
You'll need an incrementing field to find the new records - or if you want,
all records that doen't appear in first dataset are new (you'll have to use
primary key or any other unique field to do this)

Miha,
Yer they have a primary key although its not auto Inc'd but is unique, what
im stuck is how id actually just say build a dataset filled with all the new
records, Im just confussed as to how to compare them and get the new records
out. Any tips welcome
Regards
Jame
If you have an incrementing key (perhaps timestamp?), you would just do a
"select ... where key>lastkey".
Since you don't have such a thing you have several options.
You might use a select ... NOT IN (all keys that you have already loaded) or
you might load all records and for each record look into the original
dataset (using key) if it already exists.
Something like that...

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...

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?

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

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...

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,...
