C# Code Examples for Connect for .NET SQL Server
Data Provider
Overview
Since the release of our first ADO.NET data providers in June, 2002,
DataDirect Technologies has been fully committed to boosting operation
performance in real-world environments such as SQL Server.
This Product Brief provides code examples that can reduce application
development time by providing working C# source code showing typical
database access tasks in ADO.NET, using the Connect for .NET SQL Server
data provider. To enable the code examples to work, you must create the
sample tables. In addition, you must modify the connection strings in the
examples to work in your environment. Finally, make sure you include the
“using” directive for System.Data and DDTek.SQLServer in your project:
using System.Data;
using DDTek.SQLServer;
The code examples demonstrate:
• Retrieving Data Using a DataReader
• Using a Local Transaction
• Using a Distributed Transaction
• Using the CommandBuilder
• Updating Data in a Dataset
• Calling a Stored Procedure
• Retrieving a Scalar Value
• Retrieving Warning Information
Sample Tables
Many of the samples in this product brief use the emp and dept tables. You
can create the tables using an ISQL script, or by using the data provider.
Creating the sample tables using an ISQL script
The following script can be run in ISQL. See the Microsoft SQL Server
documentation for details.
CREATE TABLE emp (
empno INT PRIMARY KEY,
ename VARCHAR(10),
job VARCHAR(9),
mgr INT NULL,
hiredate DATETIME,

Creating the sample tables using the data provider
The sample tables used in this Product Brief can be created with the data
provider, as shown in the following code example:
SQLServerConnection Conn;
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=1433;
User ID=test01;Password=test01; Database Name=Test");
try
{
Conn.Open();
}
catch (SQLServerException ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
string[] DropTableSQL = {"drop table emp", "drop table dept"};
for (int x=0; x<=1; x++)
{
try
{
// Drop the tables, don't care if they don't exist
SQLServerCommand DBCmd = new SQLServerCommand(DropTableSQL[x], Conn);
DBCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (SQLServerException ex)
{
}
// Create the tables

Retrieving Data Using a DataReader
The DataReader provides the fastest but least flexible way to retrieve data
from the database. Data is returned as a read-only, forward-only stream of
data that is returned one record at a time. If you need to retrieve many
records rapidly, using a DataReader would require fewer resources than
using a DataSet, which would need large amounts of memory to hold the
results.
In the following code example, you execute a simple query on a Microsoft
SQL Server database and read the results using a DataReader. This
example uses the emp table.
// Open connection to SQL Server database
SQLServerConnection Conn;
try
{
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=1433;
User ID=test01;Password=test01; Database Name=Test");
Conn.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
try
{
// Create a SQL command
string strSQL = "SELECT ename FROM emp WHERE sal>50000";
SQLServerCommand DBCmd = new SQLServerCommand(strSQL, Conn);
SQLServerDataReader myDataReader;
myDataReader = DBCmd.ExecuteReader();
while (myDataReader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine("High salaries: " + myDataReader["ename"].ToString());

5. C # C O D E E X A M P L E S F O R C O N N E C T F O R . N E T S Q L S E R V E R D A T A P R O V I D E R
D A T A D I R E C T T E C H N O L O G I E S 5 O F 1 4
}
myDataReader.Close();
// Close the connection
Conn.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
Using a Local Transaction
The following code example uses the emp table to show how to use a local
transaction:
SQLServerConnection Conn;
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=1433; User ID=test01;
Password=test01;Database Name=Test");
try
{
Conn.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
SQLServerCommand DBCmd = new SQLServerCommand();
SQLServerTransaction DBTxn = null;
try
{
DBTxn = Conn.BeginTransaction();
// Set the Connection property of the Command object
DBCmd.Connection = Conn;
// Set the text of the Command to the INSERT statement
DBCmd.CommandText = "insert into emp VALUES
(16,'HAYES','ADMIN',6,'17-APR-2002',18000,NULL,4)";
// Set the transaction property of the Command object
DBCmd.Transaction = DBTxn;
// Execute the statement with ExecuteNonQuery, because we are not
// returning results
DBCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
// Now commit the transaction
DBTxn.Commit();
// Display any exceptions
Console.WriteLine ("Transaction Committed!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Display any exceptions
Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
// If anything failed after the connection was opened, roll back the

// transaction
if (DBTxn != null)
{
DBTxn.Rollback();
}
}
// Close the connection
Conn.Close();
Using a Distributed Transaction
The following code shows how to use a distributed transaction across two
connections to two different Microsoft SQL Server servers. The example uses
the emp table.
NOTES:
• When you use distributed transactions, you must add
System.EnterpriseServices to the Solution Reference list. In addition, the
application must be strongly named. To do this, first open a command
window and go to the application directory. Then, run the following
command:
sn –k SolutionName.snk
• Delete the AssemblyInfo.cs file from the Solution.
• Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator must be running on all
clients and servers.
using System;
using System.EnterpriseServices;
using System.Reflection;
using DDTek.SQLServer;
[assembly: ApplicationName("yourapplicationname")]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute(@"....yourapplicationname.snk")]

static void Main(string[] args)
{
SQLServerConnection Conn1;
Conn1 = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=1433;
User ID=test01;Password=test01;
Database Name=Test;Enlist=true");
SQLServerConnection Conn2;
Conn2 = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=1433;
User ID=test07;Password= test07;
Database Name=test;Enlist=true");
try
{

DistributedTran myDistributedTran = new DistributedTran();
myDistributedTran.TestDistributedTransaction(Conn1, Conn2);
Console.WriteLine("Success!!");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Error returned: " + e.Message);
}
}
}
/// <summary>
/// To use distributed transactions in .NET, we need a ServicedComponent

[Transaction(TransactionOption.Required) ]
public class DistributedTran : ServicedComponent

public void TestDistributedTransaction(SQLServerConnection Conn1,
SQLServerConnection Conn2)
{
// The following Insert statement goes to the first server, orca.
// This Insert statement does not produce any errors.
string DBCmdSql1 = "Insert into emp VALUES
(16,'HAYES','ADMIN',6,'17-NOV-2002',18000,NULL,4)";
string DBCmdSql2 = "Delete from emp WHERE sal > 100000";
try
{
Conn1.Open();
Conn2.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
SQLServerCommand DBCmd1 = new SQLServerCommand(DBCmdSql1, Conn1);
SQLServerCommand DBCmd2 = new SQLServerCommand(DBCmdSql2, Conn2);
DBCmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
DBCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
Conn1.Close();
Conn2.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Success!! ");
}
}
}

D A T A D I R E C T T E C H N O L O G I E S 8 O F 1 4
Using the CommandBuilder
A CommandBuilder object can be used to generate the Insert, Update, and
Delete statements for a DataAdapter. The following code example uses the
emp sample table with the CommandBuilder to update a DataSet:
SQLServerConnection Conn;
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star; port=4100;User ID=test01;
Password=test01;Database Name=Test ");
try
{
Conn.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
SQLServerDataAdapter myDataAdapter = new SQLServerDataAdapter();
SQLServerCommand DBCmd = new SQLServerCommand("select * from emp",Conn);
myDataAdapter.SelectCommand = DBCmd;
// Set up the CommandBuilder
SQLServerCommandBuilder CommBuild = new SQLServerCommandBuilder(myDataAdapter);
DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
try
{
myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet);
// Now change the salary of the first employee
DataRow myRow;
myRow = myDataSet.Tables["Table"].Rows[0];
myRow["sal"] = 95000;
// Tell the DataAdapter to resynch with the SQL Server server.
// Without the CommandBuilder, this line would fail.
myDataAdapter.Update(myDataSet);
Console.WriteLine ("Update with CommandBuilder Successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Display any exceptions
Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
}
// Close the connection
Conn.Close();
Updating Data in a Dataset
When updating a row at the data source, the DataSet uses the SQL provided
in UpdateCommand of the Data Adapter. The Update statement can use
parameters that contain the unique identifier, such as the primary key, and
the columns to be updated, as shown in the following example:
[C#]
string updateSQL As String = "UPDATE emp SET sal = ?, job = ? +
= WHERE empno = ?;

9. C # C O D E E X A M P L E S F O R C O N N E C T F O R . N E T S Q L S E R V E R D A T A P R O V I D E R
D A T A D I R E C T T E C H N O L O G I E S 9 O F 1 4
The parameterized query statements define the parameters that will be
created. Refer to the DataDirect Connect for .NET User's Guide and
Reference for more information about using parameters with the SQL Server
data provider.
The following code example shows how to provide an UpdateCommand to a
DataAdapter for use in synchronizing changes made to a DataSet with the
actual data on the SQL Server server, using data from the emp table. The
example uses the Parameters.Add method to create the parameters for the
Update statement, fills a DataSet, programmatically makes changes to the
DataSet, then synchronizes the changes back to the database.
SQLServerConnection Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;
port=4100;User ID=test01;Password=test01;Database Name=Test");
try
{
string selectText = "select sal, job, empno from emp";
string updateText = "update emp set sal = ?, job = ? where empno = ?";
SQLServerDataAdapter adapter = new SQLServerDataAdapter(selectText, Conn);
SQLServerCommand updateCommand = new SQLServerCommand(updateText, Conn);
adapter.UpdateCommand = updateCommand;
updateCommand.Parameters.Add("@sal", SQLServerDbType.Int, 15, "SAL");
updateCommand.Parameters.Add("@job", SQLServerDbType.VarChar, 9, "JOB");
updateCommand.Parameters.Add("@empno", SQLServerDbType.Int, 15, "empno");
DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet("emp");
adapter.Fill(myDataSet, "emp");
// Give employee number 11 a promotion and a raise
DataRow changeRow = myDataSet.Tables["emp"].Rows[11];
changeRow["sal"] = "35000";
changeRow["job"] = "MANAGER";
// Send back to database
adapter.Update(myDataSet, "emp");
myDataSet.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Display any exceptions
Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
}
Console.WriteLine("DataSet Updated Successfully!");
// Close the connection
Conn.Close();
Calling a Stored Procedure
You call stored procedures using a Command object. When you issue a
command on a stored procedure, you must set the CommandType of the
Command object to StoredProcedure, or use the ODBC/JDBC escape
syntax. For information on using the ODBC/JDBC escape syntax with the
data provider, refer to the Connect for .NET User’s Guide and Reference.

10. C # C O D E E X A M P L E S F O R C O N N E C T F O R . N E T S Q L S E R V E R D A T A P R O V I D E R
D A T A D I R E C T T E C H N O L O G I E S 1 0 O F 1 4
The following code shows how to execute a stored procedure on a SQL
Server database and read the results using a DataReader. The sample data
is in the emp table.
Creating the stored procedure
First, execute the following code to create the stored procedure:
// Open connection to SQL Server database
SQLServerConnection Conn;
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=4100;User ID=test01;
Password=test01;Database Name=Test");
try
{
Conn.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
string spCreate = "CREATE PROCEDURE GetEmpSalary(@empno int,@sal numeric(7,2) output)AS
SELECT @sal = sal from emp where empno = @empno";
try
{
SQLServerCommand DBCmd=new SQLServerCommand(spCreate, Conn);
DBCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Create procedure failed
Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
return;
}
Console.WriteLine ("Procedure Created Successfully!");
Executing the stored procedure
Now, use the following code example to execute the GetEmpSalary stored
procedure:
// Open connection to SQL Server database
SQLServerConnection Conn;
try
{
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=4100;User ID=test01;
Password=test01;Database Name=Test");
Conn.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
// Make a command object for the stored procedure

11. C # C O D E E X A M P L E S F O R C O N N E C T F O R . N E T S Q L S E R V E R D A T A P R O V I D E R
D A T A D I R E C T T E C H N O L O G I E S 1 1 O F 1 4
// You must set the CommandType of the Command object
// to StoredProcedure
SQLServerCommand DBCmd = new SQLServerCommand("GetEmpSalary",Conn);
DBCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
// The stored procedure expects one input and one output parameter
// Define the parameters for the stored procedure
// We don't need to specify the direction of the parameter, since the default is INPUT
DBCmd.Parameters.Add("@empno", SQLServerDbType.Int, 10).Value = 5;
// Output parameter
DBCmd.Parameters.Add("@sal", SQLServerDbType.Numeric, 10).Direction =
ParameterDirection.Output;
SQLServerDataReader myDataReader;
try
{
myDataReader = DBCmd.ExecuteReader();
myDataReader.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Display any exceptions
Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
}
Console.WriteLine("Procedure Executed Successfully!");
// Close the connection
Conn.Close();
Retrieving a Scalar Value
You can use the ExecuteScalar method of the Command object to return a
single value, such as a sum or a count, from the database. The
ExecuteScalar method returns the value of the first column of the first row of
the result set. If you know the result set has only one row and one column,
you can use this method to speed up retrieval of the value.
The following code example retrieves the number of employees who make
more than $50000. This example uses the emp table.
// Open connection to SQL Server database
SQLServerConnection Conn;
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=4100;User ID=test01;
Password=test01;Database Name=Test");
try
{
Conn.Open();
Console.WriteLine ("Connection successful!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Connection failed
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
// Make a command object
SQLServerCommand salCmd = new SQLServerCommand("select count(sal) from emp
where sal>50000",Conn);

12. C # C O D E E X A M P L E S F O R C O N N E C T F O R . N E T S Q L S E R V E R D A T A P R O V I D E R
D A T A D I R E C T T E C H N O L O G I E S 1 2 O F 1 4
try
{
int count = (int)salCmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Count of Salaries >$50,000 : "
+ Convert.ToString(count));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Display any exceptions
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
// Close the connection
Conn.Close();
Retrieving Warning Information
The data provider handles database server warnings through the
InfoMessage delegates on the Connection objects.
The following example shows how to retrieve a warning generated by a
Microsoft SQL Server server:
// Define an event handler
public void myHandler(object sender, SQLServerInfoMessageEventArgs e)
{
// Display any warnings
Console.WriteLine ("Warning Returned: " + e.Message);
}
Add the following code to a method and call it:
// Define an event handler
public void myHandler(object sender, SQLServerInfoMessageEventArgs e)
{
// Display any warnings
Console.WriteLine ("Warning Returned: " + e.Message);
}
Add the following code to a method and call it:
SQLServerConnection Conn;
Conn = new SQLServerConnection("host=nc-star;port=4100;User ID=test01;
Password=test01;Database Name=Test");
SQLServerCommand DBCmd = new SQLServerCommand
("print 'This is a Warning.'",Conn);
SQLServerDataReader myDataReader;
try
{
Conn.InfoMessage += new SQLServerInfoMessageEventHandler(myHandler);
Conn.Open();
myDataReader = DBCmd.ExecuteReader();
// This will throw a SQLServerInfoMessageEvent as the print
// statement generates a warning.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Display any exceptions in a messagebox
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message);
}
