I want to view all companyname that starts with A, the sql runs but does not show the output,
What's wrong with the query?, am I missing any quotes or comma. Pls 'elp
Dim myCharacter = "A"
SQL = "SELECTlogo, EmployerID, CompanyName FROM EmployerDetails wherecompanyName like '"&myCharacter & "%'"
Select seems correct! How you are using this in ASP.NET page? Are you getting data into Reader or not?|||Thanks Sreed
I think the problem is the SQL because when I hard code to this
SQL = "SELECT logo, EmployerID, CompanyName FROM EmployerDetails where companyName like 'A%' "
It works, PLS help Thanks

If you declared myCharacter,SQL as a local string variable, then it should work!
Just to debug after SQL = "..blabla" statement do,
Response.Write(SQL)
Response.End()
and run the page and see what is the output you are getting from SQL, and see if that is giving correct Select or not!
That should help us to find whether it building currect SQL or not!
|||Hi Sreed
This is the full code below , I did the PRINT STUFF and the output is also below
Sub BindDataToGrid(myCharacter)
Response.write("Testing "&myCharacter)
Dim Conn, Conn1 as SqlConnection
Dim mySqlCommand, mySqlCommand2 as SqlCommand
Dim SQL,SQL1,SQL2 ,GetQuestions As String
Dim myDate as date
Dim pic as ArrayList = new ArrayList()
Dim Job_no as Integer
IF myCharacter <> "" THEN
SQL ="SELECT logo, EmployerID, CompanyName FROM EmployerDetails where companyName like "
SQL = SQL & " ' " & myCharacter & " % ' "
Else
SQL ="SELECT logo, EmployerID FROM EmployerDetails order by newID() "
End If
Conn = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("connString"))
Dim resultsDataSet as New DataSet()
Dim myDataAdapter as SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(SQL, Conn)
Conn.Open()
myDataAdapter.Fill(resultsDataSet,"EmployerDetails")
mySqlCommand = New SqlCommand(SQL, Conn)
mySqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = mysqlCommand.ExecuteReader()
Dim content
While myReader.Read()
If not (myReader("Logo") is DBNull.Value) Then
If Len(myReader("Logo")) > 0 Then
Dim LOGO = myReader("Logo")
Dim EmployerID =myReader("EmployerID")
Content = "<br><ahref='/JBoard/EmployerJobs.aspx?EMPID="&EmployerID
Content = Content & " '><img src='/JBoard/CompLogo/"&Logo
Content = Content & " ' width='124' height='50'BORDER='1'></a>"
pic.Add(Content)
End If
End If
End While
LogoGrid.DataSource = pic
LogoGrid.DataBind()
Conn.Close()
End Sub
OUTPUT IS
SELECT logo, EmployerID, CompanyName FROM EmployerDetails where companyName like 'M % '
What is wrong with this tiny code, forum help me pls.

SQL = "SELECT logo, EmployerID, CompanyName FROM EmployerDetails where companyName like "
SQL = SQL &" ' " & myCharacter &" % ' "
This looks like you have extra spaces in there. If you copied and pasted this directly from your code, you're actually querying for anything that starts with a space and then an 'A' and then has a space and then any character and then a space. Drop the spaces in theRED code above and it should work.
|||Hi PDHow do you drop the space, that's why I thought ?
|||Use your keyboard's Delete key to remove the extra spaces around thesingle quote and percentage characters. (A total of 4 spacesshould be deleted.)
That should leave you with the following statement:
SQL = "SELECT logo, EmployerID, CompanyName FROM EmployerDetails where companyName like "
SQL = SQL &"'" & myCharacter &"%' "

In a recent technical journal, it suggested that the Backspace key canalso be used to remove characters. I haven't tried it myself, as I fearthat I'm not advanced enough. But obinna123 seems pretty advanced, sohe may want to try that technique to removed the extra spaces.
