Update List Items through Email directly

Question

Hello everyone,

 

I want to make some functionality where I am sending some mail to user and in that mail there would be a inline form which has buttons to perform some task. When user clicks on these buttons I need to update list items in my SharePoint List without open any page or link.

 

I researched for this and found it could be possible by infopath, Can anyone does this kind of functionality?

 

Please help...

1. Passing datetime as a string value.

2. Due to that Datatype mismatch happening.

3. SQLParameter will take care of all the formats between SQL DB table and your commands.

4. Best way if your DB table datatype column is DateTime then,

SqlParameter param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@datetime", System.Data.SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = DateTime.Now;

5. Do not convert to string value, can use Convert.ToDateTime() method.

Answer 5

I have faced the same problem a long time ago.. when i was try to insert the date into database using DateTime.Now.

Suthish is right by using the Parametrized query your problem will be solve.
 Here is the sample:
string st6 = "update totallogins set To_date =@NewDate

where from_date=@OldDate;
 cmd.CommandText = st6;
 SqlParameter param1  = new SqlParameter();
 param.ParameterName = "@NewDate";
 param.Value         = DateTime.Now;

 SqlParameter param2  = new SqlParameter();
 param.ParameterName = "@OldDate";
 param.Value         = b;

 cmd.Parameters.Add(param1);
  cmd.Parameters.Add(param2);
 cmd.Connection = con;
 con.Open();
 cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
 con.Close();

Now Suthish i have question here and need your input.. why DateTime Could'nt save directly using the command object ?? Why do we need to use parameter to save the Date using DateTime class.

Thanks.

This not a good way of coding.. Leads to SQL Injection, always use Parameterized Query.

This will solve your problem, give same datatype during creating parameters.
