This Month’s Objective:


Our overall objective is to access a SQL
Server Database…
This Presentation explains how to use
ADO.NET with a Windows Forms application
to create, read, update, and delete records in
Access and SQL Server databases..

ADO.NET Objects

Data Providers


A data provider in the .NET Framework serves as a bridge between
an application and a data source. A data provider is used to retrieve
data from a data source and to reconcile changes to that data back
to the data source.
The following table lists the .NET Framework data providers that are
included in the .NET Framework.
.NET Framework data provider
Description
.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server
For Microsoft® SQL Server™ version 7.0 or later.
.NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB
For data sources exposed using OLE DB.
.NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC
For data sources exposed using ODBC.
.NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle
For Oracle data sources. The .NET Framework
Data Provider for Oracle supports Oracle client
software version 8.1.7 and later.

Data Connection
This object establishes a connection to a specific data source.
Properties: ConnectionString
Methods: Open()
Close()
Dim nwindConn As SqlConnection = _
New SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
"Initial Catalog=northwind")
nwindConn.Open()

Data Command
This object uses the connection to create a
command object. Then the program can
implement several “Execute” methods to
perform the action which may return data in a
variety of formats.
Dim catCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT CategoryID, _
CategoryName FROM Categories", nwindConn)
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader =
myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)

Execute Methods



ExecuteReader – Sends the CommandText
to the Connection and builds a
SqlDataReader.
ExecuteScalar – Executes the query, and
returns the first column of the first row in the
result set returned by the query. Extra
columns or rows are ignored.
ExecuteXMLReader - Sends the
CommandText to the Connection and builds
an XmlReader object.

Data Adapter
Represents a set of data commands and a database
connection that are used to fill the DataSet and
update a SQL Server database. This class cannot
be inherited.
Public Function SelectSqlSrvRows(dataSet As DataSet, connection As String,
query As String) As DataSet
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(connection)
Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter()
adapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand(query, conn)
adapter.Fill(dataset)
Return dataset
End Function

DataReader
Provides a means of reading a forward-only stream
of rows from a SQL Server database.
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
If myReader.HasRows Then
Do While myReader.Read()
Console.WriteLine(vbTab & "{0}" & vbTab & "{1}", myReader.GetInt32(0),
myReader.GetString(1))
Loop
Else
Console.WriteLine("No rows returned.")
End If
myReader.Close()

DataSet
Represents an in-memory cache of data.

Data Access Building Blocks
These are helper objects from Microsoft that
encapsulates all the objects necessary to interact
with the database.
