ASP.NET

Hello all,

Iam new to C# and .NET but leanrt a lot while iam in here. I ran in to a situation, I have created a shopping cart application and made successfully all the way to the order confirmation. Now the client wants to reset the "Order Num" to zero on a daily basis.

i.e "Order Number" once order is placed has to start at 0 from 12 AM and has to be set to 0 at 12 PM so that they have a count on how many items they are selling per day.

How this can be achieved any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There are 2 obvious ways I can think of....

1 - Store the order date in the database, that way the order numbers don't need to be reset, you can simply provide a screen to display the total number of orders for a given day.
2 - Store the order date and order number in the database against each order. Create a new table called something like currentordernumber, with 2 columns date and nextordernumber, each time you create a new order query this table to get the next order number and update the table to set the nextordernumber +1. If the current date is different to the date in the currentordernumber table update the date in the table and set the order number to 1.

Option 1 is by far the best option IMO.

Thank you DoctorMick for a quick solution.

If I go with Option 1, there is a small issue. I also have to show the "Order Number" to the user so that they can take that to the store with them[Carry Out].

Like 7/9/09 -- orders 1 to 100. Purchaser can go a tell the restaurant for their order number that day.
7/10/09 -- order 1 to 150.

Well, for that reason you can add another column to the table, lets say OrderNrOfDay.
Every time you insert the order in the table, check if the date today is same as that of the last order. If yes, the increment the OrderNrOfDay else set it to 1.

That's again problematic. You should take extra care to make the increment atomic as multiple users will be using the web site simultaneously. Your client's idea of resetting the order numbers to 0 each day is plain stupid. In such case, how do you refer to a order? You may need order number and the day order placed.

The option 1 suggested in the other reply is good. I am not getting what is the issue you are facing with that approach?

use one gridview with two tables having no common field?

11-Jul-09 6:03

I accomplished this task by creating another table which has OrderId,OrderNum, Date, OrderNrOfDay. OrderNum is the FK here to PK of orders table.

Then OrderNum from marchant warehouse is always saved in database and for clients sake generating daily order numbers starting from 1 to so on and for records we have OrderNum.

This solved the issue.

Hi,

Guys I have a peculiar problem here, I need to display data from two tables having no fields at all common and want to display them in one gridview on the click of a radio button .

If radiobuttton(1) is selected then data from table one will be displayed and if radiobuttton(2) is selected then data from table two will be displayed.

each of the table is having field name as:

table(1)

fname lname mname abid

table(2)

fname lname mname cdid

is there some advice you guys can help me?

thanks

this seems easy enough to me. Change the data source of the gridview on the event of the radio button being clicked

Hi Chris,

The problem is that even if I change the data sources ,the gridview which I am using has only one name(name of the coloumn here) so how will the grid view show second table's data?

each of the table is having field name as:

table(1)

fname lname mname abid

table(2)

fname lname mname cdid

gridview

fname lname mname abid

Now as you can see the gridview has a field name abid and this field is databound that is it has to have the same name as that with the respective table, so by my limited knowledge this gridview will show only one table's data but I want to display data of two tables in one gridview.

Is there a way out from this problem?

you have to change in select Query Like this .

for table(1) use the following Query.

select fname,lname,mname,abid from table(1)

and for table(2) the select Query will be.

select fname,lname,mname,cdid as abid from table(2)

now u have the same column name for both tables.

and if u want to change the headerText text of the column with condition of radio buttons.
after data bound like this.

GridView1.DataBind();

if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "one")
{
GridView1.Columns[3].HeaderText = "abid";
}
else
{
GridView1.Columns[3].HeaderText = "cdid";
}

I think you need to read my article on how to use google. Or perhaps try asking detailed, intelligent questions. You've asked three very different things. In each case, I have to ask, where are you stuck ? Do you not have any books on ASP.NET ? Do you not have access to google ? Have you tried reading some articles on the site ?

What have you tried ?

I feel that people just post a question at CP and go for a coffee break.

So, it like why should I take any pains when someone else can do it for them. Sigh | :sigh:

I would rather suggest to buy a beginners’ book and start reading.
The questions you have asked are very basic and it would be difficult for you to continue with the task.

See and try using the same method from GOOGLE and then post questions when you have any errors or if you stuck anywhere.

Hope you got it....

Hi everybody,
I've written this code for publish reports on ReportServer.Everything is ok, but if I have SharedDataSource it says:
---------------------------
The dataset ‘NewDT’ refers to the shared data source ‘NewDT’, which is not published on the report server.
---------------------------
what's wrong?

Dim TmpEncoding As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding
        Dim TmpReportDefinition() As Byte = TmpEncoding.GetBytes(PRdl)

        Dim TmpWarnings() As Warning = TmpRsProxy.CreateReport(PReportName, PParentPath, True, TmpReportDefinition, Nothing)

        Dim TmpDataSources As DataSource() = TmpRsProxy.GetItemDataSources(PParentPath & "/" & PReportName)

        For Each TmpDataSource As DataSource In TmpDataSources

            Dim dSource As New DataSource
            Dim dDefinition As New DataSourceDefinition()
            dSource.Item = dDefinition
            dDefinition.Extension = "Sql"

            Try

                TmpRsProxy.CreateDataSource(dSource.Name, ClsSetting.DataSourceLocation, True, dDefinition, Nothing)

                If TypeOf (TmpDataSource.Item) Is DataSourceReference Then

                    Dim ds As New DataSource

I don't understand the question. When you compile is not the time to add to the config file.
