Change the last line as follows

Nope ! Still the same error

The table structure is as follows

'CREATE TABLE [CouponGroup] (
'	[coupongroup_id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL ,
'	[user_id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL ,
'	[total_coupons] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT

Some progress based on Nihit's response to a similar
previous post I'd made (attached here for both your
reference)..

In the table structure I'd defined the fields as
UniqueIdentifier but I was assigning strings  so the
error. I changed that so in the code I'm assigning
System.GUID type.

But now a new Error (in either case HybridDictionary or
Dictionary) which is...


An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException'
occurred in CS2K2NET.exe

Additional information: XML variant datatype not supported

Hi Ravi,

Have you tried using some other class instead of
HybridDictionary for the
oCouponCollection? Say for e.g. Dictionary object itself
or a HashTable
etc.?

Also - which is the exact field that causes the DBStorage
InsertData call
to fail?

Thanks,

(i've included the mscscorelib.dll and Commerce 1.0

Dim oCouponGroup As New Dictionary

oDBStorage.InsertData(vbNull, CType(oCouponGroup, Object))

But it fails at this call with an error of

I have a feeling its to do with which Dictionary

error if I use the IDictionary.. (and instantiate it as
Dictionary)

You cannot add Guid type in the Commerce Dictionary. There is no equivalent
of Guid type in the COM world. You've to pass the string instead.

Hi Vinod,

The minute I switch back to "string" after having changed
the database type in the table to nvarchar (from
uniqueidentifier) and pass strings, I start getting
the "Type Mismatch" error.
