how to insert value programmaticaly (sqlDataAdapter )

[Serdge Kooleman]

i have a query: select id, name from Dictionary
field "id" is uniqueidentifie r (primary key id is not null, and not identity
!)
i show only "name" in the dataGrid

how to set up new id when i insert a new record? from the c# or VB?
from the sql? (if i do "insert newid() ) it still give me an error message
:-(

INSERT INTO Dictionary (id, name) VALUES (@id, @name );

Always i'm getting message: "Column "id" doesn't allow nulls. Do you want to
correct
the value?"

thank you

Ok the easiest is to make the id field a seed column of one, which
basically means that it will start at 0 and on every insert it will
automatically add 1 to it. I assume you are using MS SQL here. The
easiest is to go into enterprise manager and then go to design table
(right click on table and select) then click the column (id) then at
the bottom left are the properties, just set seed to true and the rest
will automatically happen, and save it.

Good luck

one more, then you would only need to create a stored procedure to
accept the value of name, because id is automatically assigned.

eg: INSERT INTO Dictionary (name) VALUES(@name)

Serdge,

Try to avoid if possible in VBNET (adonet) the autoincrement keys. It will
you give only trouble in future.

The most simple is to use, for every row that you have to insert, a New
Guid for the unique identifier

Have a look at this snippet.

I hope this helps

1. i'm not looking for the easiest way, sorry.
2. i use WinForms, not Web!
3. id have "uniqueidentife r" type. so i cannot use autoincrement for it ;-)
4. i want to update this field from VB (C#) without using additional SQL
statements like newid()

so i just want to repeat stuff that i did in Delphi a lot of times.
where i can put procedure like this:

onbeforeupdate
parameter['id'] = "{6F9619FF-8B86-D011-B42D-00C04FC92455}"
endproc

again, i'm using DataGrid with DataSet and sqlDataAdapter

Ok. Seems to me that i found the right answer. Answer is on C#, but hope it
is easy to convert it to VB.

I decided to use the event dsDictionary1.T ables[0].ColumnChanging
in form constructor:

InitializeCompo nent();

dsDictionary1.T ables[0].ColumnChanging += new
DataColumnChang eEventHandler(O nColumnChanging );
protected static void OnColumnChangin g(object sender,
DataColumnChang eEventArgs args)

{

if (args.Column.Co lumnName.ToStri ng() == "DictionaryName ")

if (args.Row["id"] == System.DBNull.V alue)

{

args.Row["id"] = System.Guid.New Guid();

}

}
thank you to everybody who participate in the discussion!
appreciate your help
