asp.net multi-row update with gridview control without looping (vb.net) - asp.net

I'm pretty new to asp.net. I'm building my first real app as a test. using SQL Server 2008 RS, VS Express 2012, IIS7.x and asp.net4.0
We receive Fedex shipment info every night that gets inserted into an MSSQL DB using SSIS. We then import the invoice, do variance matching and book costs to jobs based on the job no in Ref1 field. All this works great. However, the shipping department are supposed to put the ONLY the JobNo in the ref1 field. Of course they don't and there a lot of temps and shipping stations, so we need to fix the data. They'll put JobNo followed by junk, or junk and then the job no. When the costing people are looking at the invoice it's usually obvious what the job no is (e.g. "Samples for job 123" should be "123"). There can be many rows with the same Ref1 that needs editing (e.g 20 cartons with same Ref1). I have an SP with 3 params (OldRef, NewRef, invNo) that updates the Ref no for all records on that invoices:
UPDATE InvoiceLines
SET REF1 = #NewRef1
WHERE InvNo = #InvNo and Ref1 = #OldRef1
I figured a GridView (with an sqldatasource) would be a nice way to present the data. I only show rows where the Ref1 field is invalid, as the user corrects them, the no of records reduces.
I want the user to select a row, edit the Ref1 value and I'd just get the (old) RefNo of the selected row, it's new value, and call my SP with those and the InvNo (from a DropDown that filtered the invoice lines table).
Turns out to be way more difficult/inefficient that I thought.
All the examples I found to do this type of thing, make the user click all the rows and them loop through every row to do an update. Talk about slow and painful. I want to execute a single SP and have all matching rows updated and then refresh the list.
So what I'd like to figure out is how to get the OLD Ref1 (value in Ref1 before the edit - like deleted in an SQL trigger), the NEW Ref1 (edited value that the user typed in Ref1 - like inserted in an SQL trigger) and execute my SP and then refresh the table with the updated value result set.
Am I better off with something other than a grid view, or just using something other than the built in Edit command?
If I do figure out how to do the update, how do I refresh the GridView.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
On another note, I'm on the fence about switching to C#. Most of the examples I'm finding are in C#. I learned C++ many years ago and read up on C# at weekend. It doesn't seem too difficult. I did find a Microsoft white paper and it pretty much said there's little difference between VB and C# so no real reason to switch. My colleagues do not know C or C#, so I'm just a bit concerned that in the unlikely event they need to help out, they'll be stuck. Any thoughts on this?

Get Requsition ID based on PO

In FSCM I am looking to modify the Search view on Add/Update PO page (Main Menu--> Purchasing--> Purchase Orders--> Add/Update POs) to display the Requisition ID associated with the PO in the search results page. The only table I have found that has both PO_ID and REQ_ID is PS_PO_LINE_DISTRIB however unless I use a SELECT DISTINCT clause I will get multiple PO_ID rows when there are more than 1 line on a PO.
Within Purchase Order Inquiry you can see the related Requisition ID's related to a PO by clicking on Document Status link inside the Purchase Order inquiry details page.
I started looking at the PeopleCode within the the Purchase Order Inquiry to see how they are linking the PO to a Requisition and it appears to use work tables with related PeopleCode function libraries, but I wasn't able to figure our how they get linked. I am hoping someone else may know the answer to this. Thank you.
I'm on an old version of PeopleSoft (SCM 8.80, Tools 8.51), so your mileage may vary. I'm assuming you're familiar with App Designer. If not, comment below and I'll add some details about what I'm clicking on.
Find the name of the Add/Update PO component.
Open the PURCHASE_ORDER component in App Designer. Now let's find the name of the search record. Note that there is a different record for the Add Search Record, so if you want to change that too, do all of this for that record as well.
Open the PO_SRCH record, and add the REQ_ID field to it. Make sure you mark the field as a key. You should consider saving your modified PO_SRCH under a new name in case you want to be able to revert to vanilla PeopleSoft. If you do, change the Search Record in the component to your new record name.
We can see that PO_SRCH is a view. So let's modify the view to pull in REQ_ID from PO_LINE_DISTRIB. As you mentioned above, there doesn't appear to be another table with both PO_ID and REQ_ID, so you'll have to do a SELECT DISTINCT.
We should do a LEFT OUTER JOIN instead of a standard join because if you do a standard join and you enter a purchase order with no lines and save it, then you'll never be able to retrieve that purchase order in this window. Since REQ_ID is a key field, we can't have a null, so we have to do the CASE.
One odd thing that I ran into here was building the view now gave me an error about selecting fewer columns in the SQL than I had in my record definition. I solved it by modifying the view for SQL Server. I've never had to do that before and I don't know why I had to do it for this specific record. But anyway, I entered the same SQL under the record's "Microsoft SQL Server" definition.
In the properties of PO_SRCH, we can see that it has a related language record. If you're only using one language, you can probably get away without changing this, but I'll do it for completeness. Open PO_SRCHLN. Now add REQ_ID to it (mark it as a key field like you did above), and save it as PO_SRCHLN2 (I'm saving it under a new name so I don't break anything else that may be using PO_SRCHLN).
Edit the SQL the same was as you did above. Note: I didn't have to also change the Microsoft SQL Server definition like I did above. I have no idea why.
Now build PO_SRCHLN2.
Go back to PO_SRCH and change its related language record to PO_SRCHLN2.
Now build PO_SRCH.
Hopefully you didn't get any errors and your search page has the requisition ID in it now. My system doesn't use requisitions so they're all blank in the example below, but the new field is there.

Powerapps - get stuck with UpdateContext

I am trying to build a PowerApp to log setup times of our machines by our fitters.
This is what my app looks like:
There are buttons named "Uhrzeit". Pressing these will write the current date and time into the Date/Time fields. I am using the following code:
UpdateContext({Total8:(Text( Now(); "[$-de-DE]dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" ))})
The Date/Time field is named Total8.
The code is working well but after saving the form and opening a new record the old data is still available in the fields. By clicking on the button "Zeiten zurücksetzen" I can "delete" the old data.
UpdateContext({Total8:""})
Problem: When I open one of the older records the old data is not available in the form. There is only the value of the last record. In the Common Data Service where my records are saved the values are correct.
As an example, I am saving this record:
When I open a new record, the values of the record 1 are still available. This should not be the case if my app worked properly.
For your Information:
If I enter the date/time without tapping the button, saving the record and opening a new record I don't have the problem. I think the "UpdateContext" code is not the code I should use here.
Can anyone help me solve the problem?
I don't think there's a problem with using the contexts in this way -- but remember that a context is just a variable. It isn't automatically linked to a datasource in any special way - so if you set it equal to Now(), it's going to keep that value until you do something different.
When you view an old record, you need to get the data from CDS and update your contexts to match the CDS data. Does this make sense?
Yeah thats my problem.
I want the variable to be linked to a datasource. Or is it possible to write the date/time into the fields without using a context variable?

Database table in which WTPart or Change activity Maturity History is stored

I need to pull the date on which a WTPart was in inwork state or A CN was in published state.
I did my analysis and found that there should be a Maturity history table in database, but i ended up with a table called MaturityBaseline table which does not hold this information. I need guidance on which table this information is stored. Even in API com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.history.HistoryTablesCommands.maturityHistory(wtObject); they are using Maturity History class.
Have you tried this method from same class?
com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.history.HistoryTablesCommands.getLegacyLifeCycleHistory(LifeCycleManaged arg0);
I have never tried by myself though. Also check for HistoryRecord table in database whether it have any info related to this.
I know this question is may years old now, but I stumbled across it looking at how to find the history of a change issue/problem report.
My problem report has a number TA00025 and I want to find when it was completed. The enter_phase action will tell me whenever the state has changed. This SQL will tell me changes of state for the nominated change issue/problem report (the same object type in Windchill)
select LH.action, LH.state, LH.updateStampA2
from wcadmin.[wcadmin].ObjectHistory OH, wcadmin.[wcadmin].LifeCycleHistory LH,
wcadmin.wcadmin.WTChangeIssueMaster CIM, wcadmin.wcadmin.WTChangeIssue CI
where OH.idA3A5 = CI.idA2A2
and OH.idA3B5 = LH.idA2A2
and CI.idA3masterReference = CIM.idA2A2
and CIM.WTCHGISSUENUMBER = 'TA00025'
and LH.action = 'Enter_Phase'
For a WTPart the history all sits in the table WTPart which will have a full history for a part wth multiple records.

ASP: Data binding with controls

I am implementing an online parking reservation system and I need to bind a table with 2 Controls.
for example the user selects a Reservation start date and the parking location from a RadioButtonList and then a button (Search Availability) is pushed to fetch the parking from the database according to the Date selected and Location.
the question is: How can I bind the (Reservation Start Date Control) with (RadioButtonList) to both search in the database? and what would be the Sql Query?
Regards.
This is pretty basic stuff so you've got a lot of work ahead of you.
On your aspx page, you will want to use a SqlDataSource and add two ControlParameters to the SelectParameters, one for the RadioButtonList, one for the TextBox/Calendar with the date. Then create a GridView control to display the results and set the DataSource of the gridview to be the SqlDataSource.
Depending on your database schema, the SQL Statement will look something like this:
SELECT * FROM [Parking] WHERE [LotID] = #LotID AND [Date] = #Date AND [Reserved] = FALSE;
However, I have done reservation systems in the past, and queries to find available spots for a particular day are rarely simple. I would suggest worrying about writing the SQL query first and then getting the web page to run the query later. If you post information about your table schema and tag it as a SQL question you'll probably have better luck.
Hope this helps.

Inserting invoice transactions with Dynamics AX / Axapta Business Connector

G'day,
OK, I have now rewritten this question totally:
I am trying to import data into Dynamics through the use of the Business Connector (ideally, I would be importing it directly through SQL but I understand that is not a good idea - however I am open to other suggestions). This is to import invoices from a production system into Dynamics / Axapta (v5).
I can code to insert data into the CUSTINVOICETABLE table, which works fine and generates the RECID. However, new invoices just inserted exist without an Invoice ID (until they are posted I understand). However, I need to insert line items into the CUSTINVOICETRANS table as children of the above entry. For this you need to set the INVOICEID field to refer the above as the link to the parent. However, this does not appear possible before the invoice has been posted. Or I may be way off track?
Does anyone have any ideas or can shed any light for me? That would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Steve
To post a "Free text invoice" simply call custPostInvoiceJob.run() method.
You will have have to make the object first, then call a method with your newly created CustInvoiceTable record.
In X++:
custPostInvoiceJob = new CustPostInvoiceJob();
custPostInvoiceJob.updateQueryBuild(custInvoiceTable);
custPostInvoiceJob.run();
You will have to translate that into Business Connector calls in your preferred language.
Ok, it's actually as easy as it should be.
After the insert statement, simply use the get_Field call:
axRecord.Insert();
recID = (long)axRecord.get_Field("RECID");
You insert the line items in the CUSTINVOICELINE table (which uses a PARENTRECID), then upon posting the items get inserted into the CUSTINVOICETRANS table linked to the appropriate invoice number.
I hope this saves someone from having to work this out themselves.
Steve
