C# .NET - Verify a value using a textbox in the table

Asked By Daniel on 12-Feb-12 10:47 PM
Hi!I want my textbox to check weather the value exists or not into a table and verifier also if field 'etat'  is not null:
I am using the following code to perform that but when enter a value which exist and the field 'etat' is not null, it goes to the else condition and return 'TransactionID does not exists'
:
protected void TextBoxTransactionID_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (TextBoxTransactionID.Text == "SELECT [idtrans] FROM [TransactionM] WHERE idtrans IS NOT NULL AND etat IS NOT NULL")
            {
                
                GridView1.Visible = true;
                LabelMessage.Text = "<font color='green'>TransactionID exists!</font>";
            }
            else
            {
                LabelMessage.Text = "<font color='red'>TransactionID does not exists!</font>";
            }
        }

can someone help fixing this!

Yes, you are writing wrong if condition even you put anything in textbox that will go else part of if every time because
in this line you are putting sql script directly it didn't evaluate value until unless you are fetch the Transaction id from database
by complete ADO.net code
in your condition it is comparing you entered id with sql script which will return always false so it goes in else part
if (TextBoxTransactionID.Text == "SELECT [idtrans] FROM [TransactionM] WHERE idtrans IS NOT NULL AND etat IS NOT NULL")

The query you have written will bring some rows where both values(idtrans ,etat ) are not null.
Since the event you are using will be fired every time you are typing in text box , if any value is not equal to typed string in text box (checking of equal condition is also case sensitive) , it means it will go to else condition. .
you can debug the code and verify it.

Hello,

 

Try your code as following way

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT [idtrans] FROM [TransactionM] WHERE idtrans =" + TextBoxTransactionID.Text + " AND etat IS NOT NULL", conn);

 

      conn.Open();

      if (cmd.ExecuteScalar() == System.DBNull.Value)

      {

        LabelMessage.Text = "<font color='red'>TransactionID does not exists!</font>";

     

      }

      else

      {

        GridView1.Visible = true;

        LabelMessage.Text = "<font color='green'>TransactionID exists!</font>";

      }

 

 

Hope this is helpful !

Thanks

simply fetch the id from database using ado.net and than put your condition to set visibility of control

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT [idtrans] FROM [TransactionM] WHERE idtrans =" + TextBoxTransactionID.Text + " AND etat IS NOT NULL", conn);
conn.Open();
int i = cmd.ExecuteScalar();


            if (i>0)
            {
                
                GridView1.Visible = true;
                LabelMessage.Text = "<font color='green'>TransactionID exists!</font>";
            }
            else
            {
                LabelMessage.Text = "<font color='red'>TransactionID does not exists!</font>";
            }
