My SQL was fine, the query worked correctly. But, I had something in the Navigated event that was using a property that wasn't returned by that query in that specific case. It confused me because the error wasn't breaking into the event...it was breaking into the FillDataTable method. Either way, it's fixed now, so thanks for the point in the right direction.
So it happens to us all...since I do not have your data structures it is hard for me to tell you what is exactly wrong with your query. But I would double-check what you are doing there.
I am sure that the query that you posted was just to show me some values, but you should definitely be using parameters in your actual query command versus embedded values.
SELECT CheckDtl.AcctNo, Transactions.ClientKey as ClientKey, SUM(CASE WHEN CheckDtl.Amt > 0 THEN CheckDtl.Amt END) AS CreditAmt, SUM(CASE WHEN CheckDtl.Amt < 0 THEN ABS(CheckDtl.Amt) END) AS DebitAmt FROM CheckDtl INNER JOIN CheckHdr ON CheckHdr.CheckHdrKey=CheckDtl.CheckHdrKey INNER JOIN Transactions ON Transactions.TransKey=CheckHdr.TransKey WHERE CheckHdr.CheckType<>5 AND CheckHdr.CheckDate >= '01-Jul-2006' AND CheckHdr.CheckDate <= '31-Jul-2006' GROUP BY CheckDtl.AcctNo, Transactions.ClientKeyORDER BY CheckDtl.AcctNo, Transactions.ClientKey
Now this query returns exactly what I want when run against the database, but when I try to use it in a FillDataTable method I get the following error:
System.ArgumentException - Column 'CheckHdrKey' does not belong to table CheckDtl.
Now, is it still looking for the primary and foreign keys to be in the query even when I'm not using them? I can't figure out a way to put them in the query and produce what I want with the grouping the way I have it. Please give me some input here, or let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.
