select stored procedure

[nicholas]

I want to check if a userlogin already exists, so this is what i did...but
it is not working and I just can't get it to work. Must be something
stupid, but I don't see it ;-)
(I don't get any error, it just doesn't work)

STORED PROCEDURE:
==================

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_select_userlogin
@userlogin nvarchar
AS
SELECT userlogin FROM tbl_users WHERE userlogin = @userlogin
GO


CODE ON ASPX PAGE on mybutton click :
===============================
'define where the connectionstring is here:
Dim MyConnectionString as String =
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
Dim ObjReader as SQLDataReader

'make the connection
Dim MyConnection as New
SQLConnection(MyConnectionString)

Dim ObjCmd as SQLCommand= New
SQLCommand("sp_select_userlogin",MyConnection)
ObjCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure



' Set up parameter for stored procedure
ObjCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@userlogin",
SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
ObjCmd.Parameters("@userlogin").Value = userlogin.text


Dim daLogins As New SqlDataAdapter(ObjCmd)
Dim dsLogins As New DataSet()


If dsLogins.Tables.Count = 0 Then
lbl_user_allready_exists.visible = false
Else
lbl_user_allready_exists.visible = true
End If

ObjCmd.Connection.Close()

in the sp I forgot the (50):

@userlogin nvarchar(50)

 

[bruce barker]

even if there are no users, the result set meta data is returned, so you
need to test the row count not the table count. (i assume you have code to
actually run the query)

try:

lbl_user_allready_exists.visible = dsLogins.Tables(0).Rows.Count >
0

Dim daLogins As New SqlDataAdapter(ObjCmd)
Dim dsLogins As New DataSet()

Don't you need to add this line right below that:

daLogins.Fill(dsLogins)

Otherwise you aren't filling the dataset, so any check against the
tables won't work.
