[DELPHI] Invalid Parameter


Question

Gentlemen,

I'm trying to copy one TClientDataSet into another TClientDataset using a TDataSetProvider

constructor TDataSetIteratorItem.Create(aName: String; aDataSet: TDataSet);
var
  TempProvider : TDataSetProvider;
  Bookmark : TBookmark;
begin

  FName := aName;
  FDataSet := TClientDataSet.Create(nil);

  // Copy the dataset in the clientdataset
  TempProvider := TDataSetProvider.Create(nil);
  aDataSet.DisableControls;

  try
    Bookmark := aDataSet.GetBookmark;
    aDataSet.First;
    TempProvider.DataSet := aDataSet;
    FDataSet.Data := TempProvider.Data;

    if assigned ( Bookmark ) and ( aDataSet.BookmarkValid( Bookmark ) ) then
      aDataSet.GotoBookmark(Bookmark);

  finally
    FreeAndNil( TempProvider );
    aDataSet.EnableControls;
  end;
end;

FDataSet.Data := TempProvider.Data; raises a "EDBCLient invalid parameter" error

Does anybody know how to resolve this problem?

Thx in advance.

the API says that Data is readonly and you are trying to assign a value to the property.

FDataSet.Data := TempProvider.Data;

try

FDataSet.DataSet := TempProvider.DataSet;

  Quote

TCustomProvider.Data

Denotes a data packet created by the provider.

property Data: OleVariant;

Description

Data is a read-only property that is provides access to a data packet containing all records. Reading Data calls GetRecords with a parameter of -1.

As implemented in TCustomProvider, GetRecords returns NULL. Descendants of TCustomProvider reimplement the GetRecords method to implement the Data property.

Thanks for your reply.

The strange thing about this is that I have a couple more TClientDataSets that work perfectly this way.

Maybe it has something to do with a onchange event? some fields have onchange events.

Maybe the TClientDataSet needs to be in a specific state?

Anybody any clues?

Thx in advance.

Hi,

Sorry for my delayed anwser.

I'm working with a DataSetIterator, a Iterator for...well...Datasets.

In the code I posted a DataSetIteratorItem is being created but fails.

Because of the "Invalid parameter" exception.

You see this DataSetIterator is part of our framework so i can't adjust the framework for my problem.

I think it has something to do with the dataset I'm trying to store in this Iterator.

Any clues ?

Thanks in advance.

sorry I have know idea how a DataSetIteratorItem works, never used it.

I dont think anybody on neowin is going to be able to help you with this one.

... why would you have a DataSetIterator, when all you need to traverse a dataset is next, first, last, previous which is built into TClientDataSet?

sorry I havent been much help.

Hi,

I resolved the problem.

It had something to do with a lookupfield on the clientdataset.

Once I deleted the "corrupt" lookup and added it again, it didn't give the exception.

Altough it is the same lookup with the same keyfield etc.. :cry:

Oh well thanks anyways.

    • AliExpress faces EU crackdown, makes promises to fight illegal products by Paul Hill The European Commission has taken two significant actions against the Chinese online marketplace AliExpress under the Digital Services Act (DSA) in a bid to enhance user and consumer safety online. The first action was to get AliExpress to commit to several legally binding commitments to address issues related to advertising and recommender systems. The second action was the publication of preliminary findings which found that AliExpress had breached obligations regarding the spread of illegal products. AliExpress can now respond to the Commission but if the broken rules are confirmed then AliExpress can expect to be fined. The Digital Services Act is a new tool that the EU has to regulate large online platforms. It aims to level the business playing field, protect fundamental rights of users, create a safer digital space, and improve transparency from businesses. AliExpress's pledges: More transparency, safer shopping As part of the pledges made by AliExpress, it will do more to monitor and detect illegal products such as medicines, food supplements, and adult material propagated through hidden links and affiliate programs. To help flag illegal items, AliExpress has promised to improve its notice and action mechanism. Other pledges include enhancements to the internal complaint handling system; more transparency for advertising and recommender systems; better traceability of traders on the platform; and improved data access for researchers. By implementing these rules, the European Commission hopes it can make AliExpress safer for registered and non-registered users by limiting the exposure to illegal content. Deep dive into AliExpress's alleged failures With regards to the preliminary findings, the Commission found that AliExpress had underestimated the risks because it had not allocated enough resources to moderation systems for illegal products. It also found that the company had failed to consistently enforce its penalty policy against those publishing illegal content. The Commission also discovered systemic failures in AliExpress’s proactive content moderation systems that allowed malicious traders to continue to operate or start operating on the platform. AliExpress is designated as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) which means it has to meet certain standards set out by the EU. The aforementioned violations are against the quality of operation that the EU expects from VLOPs. The company now has the right to defend itself against the EC’s findings, it can examine the documents and reply in writing, but if the findings are confirmed, AliExpress could face fines and be required to submit an action plan.
    • Author/Neowin... The title is incorrect and misleading... By the official blog post, it's not "indefinitely". There's a clear statement that development continues with a few specific target areas, and a new release date TBD and announced later. If it is later announced to be cancelled or delayed indefinitely, that's another story.
    • I hate Microsoft. My parents almost lost all drive content. As senior citizens they are unable to follow constant "improvements" Microsoft is dropping on its users. My mother's laptop is normally unlocked with a PIN. It is unexplicable for non-It person, that there is some cloud mictosoft account, that has a different password than the Pin and user ID is e-mail, but not necessarily normal Gmail addree, and even if the person knows this email address the password is not the password used for this email account. Just too much of twists. Suddenly her laptop ordered entering "decryption key" before booting. It was miracle we managed to guess email address associated with the PC that was used for Microsoft account. She would had lost everything on the drive. Why are they doing this? Privacy may be important for some people, but data loss is much more important for most of the people.
