I'm trying to save my IContent called child, but on this line(contentService.SaveAndPublish(child);) I get the following error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
if (child.HasProperty("navn"))
{
child.SetValue("navn", worker.Name.ToString(), "da-dk");
}
contentService.SaveAndPublish(child);
This is how I define my contentService:IContentService contentService = Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Services.ContentService;
And I'm finding the children like this:
long totalChildren;
IEnumerable<IContent> children = contentService.GetPagedChildren(filialsParent.Id, 0, 100, out totalChildren);
ยด
Can someone point out what is wrong here?
I found out that if I do this then it works.
var umbf = Umbraco.Web.Composing.Current.Factory.GetInstance<IUmbracoContextFactory>();
using (var contextf = umbf.EnsureUmbracoContext())
{
var umbcontext = contextf.UmbracoContext;
IContentService cs = Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Services.ContentService;
cs.SaveAndPublish(child);
}
I believe you're getting your ContentService the wrong way and therefore it may be empty, causing a null reference exception.
If you're in a SurfaceController, you can get ContentService like this:
var cs = Services.ContentService;
If you're in a class where Services is not exposed, you can get it like this:
var cs = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
Read more about it in Umbracos documentation below :)
https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Management/Services/ContentService/
Look that link, seems that Umbraco 'Save' works even if something is null but not completely:
Save is working but not completely, it is saving the content to the db
but not to the Umbraco backoffice. And even when I try wrapping the
setValues inside a
if (blogNode.HasProperty("title")) {
I still get a null reference
error.
In the OP case he's taking the wrong contentService in the first step, so i think #Mikkel answer is not completely wrong:
Turns out I had used the wrong parentId in this line:
var newBlog = contentService.CreateContent(post.Title, 1053, "umbNewsItem", 0);
the correct statement was:
var newBlog = contentService.CreateContent(post.Title, 1061, "umbNewsItem", 0);

I have a SQL table with between 8 and 9 records that hold background configurations for my home page.
I want to randomly select one of them each time the page is refreshed and I want to use a Lambda expression in my controller. Something like:
var myRandomSelect = db.MyBackgrounds.Random();
That obviously does not work, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
Any help?
You can write a kind of extension method:
public static T GetRandom(this IList<T> source)
{
var rnd = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);
return source.Skip(rnd.Next(0, source.Count())).First();
}
use it like
var myRandomSelect = db.MyBackgrounds.GetRandom();
Assuming you are using EF
var random = db.MyBackgrounds
.OrderBy(c => Guid.NewGuid())
.FirstOrDefault();
I'm using: ASP.NET MVC, MySql, Dapper.NET micro-orm
I made a stored procedure with 3 SELECTs, two of which returns lists and the third one returns an integer.
Here is my code:
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(GetConnectionString()))
{
var readDb = conn.QueryMultiple(storedProcedure, parameters, commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
var result = new someView
{
TopicsList = readDb.Read<ITopic>().ToList(),
TopTopicsList = readDb.Read<IMessage>().ToList(),
TopicsCount = readDb.Read<int>().Single()
};
return result;
}
In ITopic I have TopicId, in IMessage I have MessageId.
And here's the error:
When using the multi-mapping APIs ensure you set the splitOn param if you have keys other than Id Parameter name: splitOn
I tried adding splitOn on both QueryMultiple and Read, and nigher accepted it.
Though I dont understand why I need splitOn? can't dapper see that I have three separate SELECTs? When using conn.Read(storedProcedure,parameters) on each of the selects separately (instead of MultipleQuery on all of the together) dapper has no problem mapping it to a given object.
What am I doing wrong?
1) Problem solved when I used the real models names instead of their interfaces names:
TopicView instead of ITopic, TopTopicsView instead of IMessage;
2) Once that was fixed and there was no longer "no splitOn" error, started another problem with the < int > casting in line:
TopicsCount = readDb.Read<int>().Single()
probably mysql doesnt return numbers back as ints?
I tried using decimal, object, dynamic, etc.. with no luck. Eventually fixed it by creating another Model with int property inside that has the same name as the database int parameter and now it works.
3) Here's the final working code:
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(GetConnectionString()))
{
var parameters = context.MapEntity(query);
var multi = conn.QueryMultiple(storedProcedure, parameters, commandType: System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure);
var TopicsList = multi.Read<TopicView>().ToList();
var TopTopicsList = multi.Read<TopTopicsView>().ToList();
var result = multi.Read<HomeView>().Single();
result.TopicsList = TopicsList;
result.TopTopicsList = TopTopicsList;
return result;
}
Hi this is the SP I have :
USE [Tracker_Entities]
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspHub]
#id int
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT table1.UID, table1.url, Scope.ID
FROM table1 INNER JOIN
Scope ON table1.UID = Scope.newBrand
WHERE (table1.value = 0) AND (Scope.ID = #id)
ORDER BY table1.url
END
GO
When i run this SP in sql server by passing ID as parameter i am getting expected result. Now I need to check this SP in mvc. This is the way I am calling this SP in my MVC :
using (var ctx = new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
ctx.uspHub(ID);
ctx.SaveChanges();
}
But when I put breakpoint in using statement and check for results, it is not displaying any results. I am struggling here for long time and i am not getting proper solution for this. So what are the steps in MVC to check results for SP which has select statements??
Update :
I got solution for this after using tolist. Now i am getting three results in list and i need to grab one result that is URL and pass it as input parameter.
My code :
int ID = 413;
var x = ctx.uspdHub(ID).ToList();
Here x has 3 results. I need to take one result from it.I tried doing x. but it doesn't show results after i type dot. How can i achieve this??
You have to Get the result into proper model/object.
List<YourEntity> model;
using (var ctx = new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
model = ctx.uspHub(ID).toList();
//ctx.SaveChanges(); - no need to call SaveChanges
// - as you are not updating anything
}
Go through this article if you need more info. Call Stored Procedure From Entity Framework (The code above will work anyways...)
use...
using (var ctx = new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
var result = ctx.uspHub(ID);
}
and add a break after the result to see whats in the result variable. Obviously, the sope of result will need to be moved, but I'm only showing here how you can see the data returned.
Try to use something like this:
using (var dataContext= new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
SomeEntity[] result = dataContext.Database.SqlQuery<SomeEntity>("[dbo].[uspHub] #id",new SqlParameter("#id", ID)).ToArray();
}
It is good for me. I have used ORM EntityFramework to connect with DB.
This query produces an error No value given for one or more required parameters:
using (var conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=..."))
{
conn.Open();
var result = conn.Query(
"select code, name from mytable where id = ? order by name",
new { id = 1 });
}
If I change the query string to: ... where id = #id ..., I will get an error: Must declare the scalar variable "#id".
How do I construct the query string and how do I pass the parameter?
The following should work:
var result = conn.Query(
"select code, name from mytable where id = ?id? order by name",
new { id = 1 });
Important: see newer answer
In the current build, the answer to that would be "no", for two reasons:
the code attempts to filter unused parameters - and is currently removing all of them because it can't find anything like #id, :id or ?id in the sql
the code for adding values from types uses an arbitrary (well, ok: alphabetical) order for the parameters (because reflection does not make any guarantees about the order of members), making positional anonymous arguments unstable
The good news is that both of these are fixable
we can make the filtering behaviour conditional
we can detect the category of types that has a constructor that matches all the property names, and use the constructor argument positions to determine the synthetic order of the properties - anonymous types fall into this category
Making those changes to my local clone, the following now passes:
// see https://stackoverflow.com/q/18847510/23354
public void TestOleDbParameters()
{
using (var conn = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(
Program.OleDbConnectionString))
{
var row = conn.Query("select Id = ?, Age = ?", new DynamicParameters(
new { foo = 12, bar = 23 } // these names DO NOT MATTER!!!
) { RemoveUnused = false } ).Single();
int age = row.Age;
int id = row.Id;
age.IsEqualTo(23);
id.IsEqualTo(12);
}
}
Note that I'm currently using DynamicParameters here to avoid adding even more overloads to Query / Query<T> - because this would need to be added to a considerable number of methods. Adding it to DynamicParameters solves it in one place.
I'm open to feedback before I push this - does that look usable to you?
Edit: with the addition of a funky smellsLikeOleDb (no, not a joke), we can now do this even more directly:
// see https://stackoverflow.com/q/18847510/23354
public void TestOleDbParameters()
{
using (var conn = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(
Program.OleDbConnectionString))
{
var row = conn.Query("select Id = ?, Age = ?",
new { foo = 12, bar = 23 } // these names DO NOT MATTER!!!
).Single();
int age = row.Age;
int id = row.Id;
age.IsEqualTo(23);
id.IsEqualTo(12);
}
}
I've trialing use of Dapper within my software product which is using odbc connections (at the moment). However one day I intend to move away from odbc and use a different pattern for supporting different RDBMS products. However, my problem with solution implementation is 2 fold:
I want to write SQL code with parameters that conform to different back-ends, and so I want to be writing named parameters in my SQL now so that I don't have go back and re-do it later.
I don't want to rely on getting the order of my properties in line with my ?. This is bad. So my suggestion is to please add support for Named Parameters for odbc.
In the mean time I have hacked together a solution that allows me to do this with Dapper. Essentially I have a routine that replaces the named parameters with ? and also rebuilds the parameter object making sure the parameters are in the correct order.
However looking at the Dapper code, I can see that I've repeated some of what dapper is doing anyway, effectively it each parameter value is now visited once more than what would be necessary. This becomes more of an issue for bulk updates/inserts.
But at least it seems to work for me o.k...
I borrowed a bit of code from here to form part of my solution...
The ? for parameters was part of the solution for me, but it only works with integers, like ID. It still fails for strings because the parameter length isn't specifed.
OdbcException: ERROR [HY104] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid precision value

var result = await conn.QueryAsync(sQuery, new { State = state });
WebAPI.Controllers.CustomerController.GetByState(string state) in CustomerController .cs
return await _customerRepo.GetByState(state);
For Dapper to pass string parameters to ODBC I had to specify the length.
var result = await conn.QueryAsync<Customer>(sQuery, new { State = new DbString { Value = state, IsFixedLength = true, Length = 4} });
Some pseudo-code of the model I'm working with:
User { int Id, string Username }
Activity { int Id, string Name }
Place { int Id, string Name }
Basically I have a bunch of Users and they belong to certain places (many to many relationship in RDBMS world). What I'd like to do now that I've created all of the nodes already is create the relationship between them. To do that I believe I need to get references to each node and then simply create the relationship between them.
Note: So far no relationships exist. It does look like in some of the examples they have added the User nodes with a relationship that points to the RootNode but I have no idea why. I'm not sure if I need to do that or not.
More pseudo-code:
var userRef = _graphClient...GetUserNodeWhereIdEquals(user.Id);
// or something like _graphClient.OutV<User>("[[id={0}]]", user.Id)
// or even just _graphClient.V<User>(id == user.Id)
var placeRef = _graphClient...GetPlaceNodeWhereIdEquals(place.Id);
_graphClient...CreateRelationshipBetween(userRef, placeRef, "belongs_to");
Unfortunately the documentation starts off pretty great then goes south when you get to relationships.
Update 3/29/12
Here's the code I have so far:
foreach (var a in _activityTasks.GetAll())
{
_graphClient.Create(a, new ActivityBelongsTo(_graphClient.RootNode));
}
foreach (var p in _placeTasks.GetAll().Take(1))
{
var placeNode = _graphClient.Create(p, new PlaceBelongsTo(_graphClient.RootNode));
foreach (var activity in p.Activities)
{
Activity activity1 = activity;
var activityNode = _graphClient.RootNode.In<Activity>(ActivityBelongsTo.TypeKey, a => a.Id == activity1.Id).SingleOrDefault();
_graphClient.CreateRelationship(placeNode, new PlaceHasActivity(activityNode.Reference));
}
}
The activity nodes are created fine. The place node is created fine. An error is now being thrown when trying to get the activityNode. It's a rather large stack trace so I'll try to paraphrase here:
Received an exception when executing the request.
The query was: g.v(p0).in(p1).filter{ it[p2] == p3

Something to do when adding a item to a Dictionary when the key is null. Problem is, I don't see any nulls when I debug on my end, activity1 is there, RootNode is there, TypeKey is a const string.
I'm almost wondering if I should just keep the created nodes within a array or Dictionary myself and then just working with the NodeReference. That's what I'm going to try next.
Later that morning
This seems to load everything into the graph database fine:
var activityNodes = _activityTasks.GetAll().ToDictionary(a => a.Id, a => _graphClient.Create(a, new ActivityBelongsTo(_graphClient.RootNode)));
foreach (var p in _placeTasks.GetAll())
{
var placeNode = _graphClient.Create(p, new PlaceBelongsTo(_graphClient.RootNode));
foreach (var activity in p.Activities)
{
_graphClient.CreateRelationship(placeNode, new PlaceHasActivity(activityNodes[activity.Id]));
}
}
foreach (var u in _userTasks.GetAllUserGraph())
{
var userNode = _graphClient.Create(u, new UserBelongsTo(_graphClient.RootNode));
foreach(var activity in u.Activities)
{
_graphClient.CreateRelationship(userNode, new UserParticipatesIn(activityNodes[activity.Id]));
}
}
Now the problem is similar to what I had before. Now I want to get an activity that has a relationship to the RootNode:
Node<Activity> activity = _graphClient
.RootNode
.In<Activity>(ActivityBelongsTo.TypeKey, a => a.Id == 1)
.SingleOrDefault();
Throwing the key value can't be null exception again. I think I need to investigate the gremlin syntax more. I'm guessing the problem is there.
This afternoon
Started to experiment with Gremlin queries:
g.v(0).inE.filter{it.label=="ACTIVITY_BELONGS_TO"}.outV.filter{it.Id==1}.Name
works fine. I tried to replicate that using neo4jClient syntax:
_graphClient.RootNode.InE(ActivityBelongsTo.TypeKey).OutV(b => b.Id == 1).SingleOrDefault();
Same null exception, it spits out:
g.v(p0).inE.filter{ it[p1].equals(p2) }.outV.filter{ it[p3] == p4 }.drop(p5).take(p6)._()
which looks right to me, except for the end. Ran this though:
g.v(0).inE.filter{it.label=="ACTIVITY_BELONGS_TO"}.outV.filter{it.Id==1}.drop(0).take(1)._()
And that works fine. Something stinks here...maybe I should try the other library although I liked the de/serialization support. Sigh...
Thought maybe a raw query would work. Nope! This method no longer accepts a string and the required GremlinQuery I have no idea how to you. Grooooooooooooooooan.
var users = graphClient.ExecuteGetAllNodesGremlin<IsCustomer>("g.v(0).out('IsCustomer'){it.'Name' == 'BobTheBuilder'}");
Update 3/30/12
Created a new project, everything below works fine. Super confused why it will work here... :( Maybe version differences, I have no idea.
var client = new GraphClient(new Uri("http://localhost:7474/db/data"));
client.Connect();
client.Create(new User { Id = 1, Username = "joe" }, new UserBelongsTo(client.RootNode));
client.Create(new User { Id = 2, Username = "cloe" }, new UserBelongsTo(client.RootNode));
client.Create(new Activity { Id = 1, Name = "Bocce Ball" }, new ActivityBelongsTo(client.RootNode));
client.Create(new Activity { Id = 2, Name = "Programming" }, new ActivityBelongsTo(client.RootNode));
var user = client.RootNode.In<User>(UserBelongsTo.TypeKey, u=>u.Id == 1).SingleOrDefault();
var activity = client.RootNode.In<Activity>(ActivityBelongsTo.TypeKey, a=>a.Id == 1).SingleOrDefault();
client.CreateRelationship(user.Reference, new Plays(activity.Reference));
user = client.RootNode.In<User>(UserBelongsTo.TypeKey, u => u.Id == 1).SingleOrDefault();
activity = client.RootNode.In<Activity>(ActivityBelongsTo.TypeKey, a => a.Id == 1).SingleOrDefault();
I'm just getting started too. I would suggest you check out this blog:
http://romikoderbynew.com/2011/07/30/neo4jclient-primer/
Also, check http://frictionfree.org and its source code (in the about section) for more examples.
Creating relationships on existing - as I understand, this is possible. However, it appears to be easier to associate nodes as you create them. From the blog:
You can also create relationships between existing nodes.
graphClient.CreateRelationship(customerNodeReference, new
Speaks(languageNode.Reference));
RootNode - I believe you need to start a query from a node, I don't think you can do a
SELECT * FROM ... WHERE
Therefore, it would make sense that you need to attach nodes to the root node. This is an example from the FrictionFreeApp:
var node = graphClient.Create(
user,
new UserBelongsTo(rootNode));
