Data access application block

[Martin Bischoff]

Hi,

I'm using the SqlHelper class from microsofts data access application
block and have problems when trying to call a stored procedure that has
a TEXT parameter.

I'm using the following environment:
- SQL Server 2000 SP3a + Cumulative Patch (July 2003)
- .NET 1.0
- Data Access Application Block 1.0

The method SqlHelperParameterCache.DiscoverSpParameterSet returns a
SqlParameter with SqlDbType set to VarChar and Size set to
Int32.MaxValue. The problem seems to be in
SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters.

When calling the stored procedure with the automatically discovered
parameter set, I get an SqlException with one of the following messages:
- General network error. Check your network documentation.
- A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any,
should be discarded.

In the servers event log, I can find the following error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSSQL$MYSERVER
Event Category: (2)
Event ID: 17052
Date: 25.07.2003
Time: 16:33:35
User: N/A
Computer: MYSERVER
Description:
Error: 17805, Severity: 20, State: 3
Invalid buffer received from client.
Data:
....


After reading some newsgroup posts, it seems to me that the problem also
occurrs when using binary data. Is there a fix for these problems?


Thanks,
Martin Bischoff

Where can I find the Data Access Application Block? A search on MSDN came up
blank?

The Application Blocks for .NET are designed to jumpstart development of

..NET distributed applications. The sample code and documentation is provided
"as-is."

While it has undergone testing and is considered a robust code set, there

could be problems that were not found in that testing... Since the code is
available, you could (As you

have done with teh Text problem) work around these problems. There are not

any plans that I am aware of to update these samples in the near future.

One more question about the bug in SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters():

Does the problem only occur for parameters of type TEXT, or also for
other types?

Thanks,
Martin Bischoff

I was able to locate some information on this, and yes it is a bug in the SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters() and setting the type after it is retrieved to SqlDbType.Text is the
only currently available workaround (As you found). No current time fram for a fix (Whether it will be in a Service pack or future release of the framework)

Thanks Scot,

what you say is true, and I'm glad microsoft releases application blocks
to help jumpstart development.

But in this case, it seems that it isn't a problem in the application
block, but in the .NET framework class library. I mean, it is
SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters() which returns wrong parameter types
for stored procedures (VarChar instead of TEXT).

Will this method also return wrong parameter types in other cases? And
will it be fixed (for .NET 1.0)?

Best regards,
Martin Bischoff
