[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.

    • Splitgate 2 gets a surprise battle royale mode just as the free-to-play game releases by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The highly anticipated arena shooter with portals, Splitgate 2, has just been released across PC and consoles as a free-to-play experience. At the same time, the studio head appeared on the Summer Game Fest showcase's stage today with a surprise reveal, showing off a brand-new battle royale mode that is a part of the game and is also launching today for free. Watch the action-packed trailer above. The sci-fi shooter franchise by 1047 Games has not breached the battle royale space before, but it seems the studio has been working secretly on the project all this time for this surprise reveal and launch. The Splitgate 2 battle royale mode features 60-player showdowns, letting 15 teams, each with four players, compete with each other to be the last squad standing. The map is touted as being an interconnected, gigantic colosseum with five biomes, and players will have to go through massive World Portals to reach each of them and hopefully take down anyone on the other side. "Choose where to drop in across Drought’s scorching desert, Glacier’s slick snowscape, Inferno’s active volcano, or Fracture’s cluster of asteroids," explains the developer. "After landing, players who stay in the match long enough will gain access to a fifth biome – the central area of Sanctum’s foreboding ruins, which offers special, powerful loot for those who can survive sparring to get it." Being a battle royale, there are chests to loot for better armaments, fast-paced action, map events to change up the atmosphere, and plenty of quick action to jump into. Aside from the new mode, with the Splitgate 2 full launch, the studio has delivered four new maps to the arena mode, a fresh map-creating template, as well as the Gravitas Shotgun as a brand-new weapon. It is also working on implementing a ranked mode, even more maps, map reskins, and more content as part of its post-launch support plans. Splitgate 2 is now available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.
    • I hate that they have removed settings that we once had, and had them for what feels like forever. Until now.   My desktop icon font are too thin, and too small now in Windows 11 since the last Windows Update. I have been using Winareo Tweaker to set the icon font to bold, and to change the size to a size larger. Now I have to do it twice, loggin out and back in each time, before it finally takes effect on the third time. But wait.... it gets worse. Once the system is shutdown, and turned back on the next day, all of those icon settings are reset to thin, and small.   I see no reason for the previous font customization options we always had now being removed. SO upsetting.   Boo Microsoft. Updates are suppose to be 'better', not removing options we had previously. This is horrible.
