What is ADO.NET?
 ADO.NET is not a different technology. In simple terms, you can think
of ADO.NET, as a set of classes(Framework), that can be used to
interact with data sources like Databases and XML files. This data can,
then be consumed in any .NET application.
 ADO stands for Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects. • The following, a few
of the different types of .NET applications that use ADO.NET to
connect to a database, execute commands, and retrieve data. • ASP.NET
Web Applications • Windows Applications • Console Applications
 Dot Net Data Providers:
 Data Provider for SQL Server-System.Data.SqlClient
 Data Provider for Oracle-System.Data.OracleClient
 Data Provider for OLEDB-System.Data.OleDb
 Data Provider for ODBC-System.Data.Odbc

o SqlConnection: It is used to create SQL Server connection.
This class cannot be inherited.
o SqlCommand: It is used to execute database queries. This
class cannot be inherited.
o SqlDataAdapter: It represents a set of data commands and
a database connection that are used to fill the DataSet. This

 Object
o Connection: It is used to establish a connection to a specific
data source.
o Command: It is used to execute queries to perform
database operations.
o DataReader: It is used to read data from data source. The
DbDataReader is a base class for all DataReader objects.
o DataAdapter: It populates a DataSet and resolves updates
with the data source. The base class for all DataAdapter
objects is the DbDataAdapter class.

Sql connection object…
 Sql connection allow us to establish a connection to SQL
server. • Properties of the SqlConnection object •

 ConnectionString:Gets or Sets the string used to open SQL

Server database • isa name-value pair.

 • Contains the data source (where the server is located), the

database name, user Id (user name) and Passwordfor the
database. •

Sql connection object…
 Connection Time out get the time to wait trying to
establish a connection before terminating the attempt and
generating an error. •

 Methods:

 Open():Opens a database connection with the property

settings specified by the ConnectionString.

 • Close()Closes the connection to the database. This is the

preferred way to close any opened connections.

 • ChangeDatabase(string database ):Changes the current

database for anEvent

as possible. • Connections should be closed in the finally block, or using,
the Using statement. •

The 2 uses of using statement in C# are

• To import a namespace. Example: using System;

• To close connections properly as shown

SQL command
SqlCommand in ADO.NET •

In this session we will learn

1. Purpose of SqlCommandobject

2. Creating an instance of the SqlCommandClass

3. When and how to use ExecuteReader(), ExecuteScalar()

and ExecuteNonQuery() methods of the sqlcommand
object. • What is SqlCommand? • SqlCommandClass is
used to prepare an SQL statement or StoredProcedure
that we want to execute on a SQL Server database
Event driving Programming(C#) by Dagne W. 14
SQL command object properties

SqlCommand object–Properties.

 Connection:Gets or Sets the SqlConnection used by this

instance of SqlCommand class

 CommandText:Gets or sets the Transact –SQL statement,

table name or stored procedure to execute at the data
source

 CommandType:Gets or sets a value indicating how the

SqlCommand.CommandTextproperty is interpreted(
StoredProcedureor CommandType.TableDirect)

SqlCommand object –Methods. •
The most commonly used methods of the SqlCommand class

1. ExecuteReader-use when the T-SQL statement returns more than a

single value. For example, if the query returns rows of data. Returns
SqlDataReaderobject

2. ExecuteNonQuery–Use when you want to perform an Insert, Update

or Deleteoperation. Since the return type is Object, we can cast to any
type the object

3. ExecuteScalar–Use when the query returns a single(Scalar) value. For

example, queries that return the total number of rows in a table.

Sql data reader
 Sql data reader reads data in the most efficient manner possible.
 SqlDataReader is read-only and forward-only, meaning once you read a record
and to the next record, there is no way to go back to the previous record.

 The forward-only nature of SqlDataReader is what make it an efficient choice

to read data.

 It is also not possible to change the data using SqlDataReader.

 SqlDataReaderis connection oriented, meaning it requires an active

connection to the data source, while reading data.

 instance of SqlDataReader cannot be created using the new operator•

 The SqlCommand object’s Executereader()method creates and returns an

instance of SqlDataReader.

SqlDataReader object’s NextResut() Method

 Retrieving two or more result sets using the SqlDataReader

Object’s NextResult() method.

 To loop thru records with in a result-set use the Read()

method.

 To loop thru between result-sets with in the

SqlDataReader use the NextResult() method.

 Example: Consider the following SQL query which returns

two Result Sets Select * From tblStudent; Select * From
tblDepartment

SqlDataAdapter and DataSet
SqlDataAdapterand DataSetin ADO.NET

• Recall SqlDataReader is connection oriented, meaning it requires an

active and open connection to the data source.

• SqlDataAdapter and DataSet provides us with disconnected data access

model.

• When we create an instance of SqlCommand object, we pass in the

following 2 parameters to the constructor of the SqlCommand class. 1.
The Command we want to execute 2. The Connectionon which we want
to execute the Command Along same lines, when creating an instance
of the SqlDataAdapter, we specify 1. The SqlCommand that we want to
execute 2. The Connectionon which we want to execute the Command

DataSet
 DataSet is Provider independent;it’s present within the namespace
System.Data;
 A DataSet is an in-memory representation of a database.
 (Database is stored in Hard disk whereas Dataset stored in memory of
the web server)
 The Fill() method of the DataAdapter object will take care all about
 Opening the connection the Database
 Executing the sqlcommand on the Database
 Reads the data and fills that within the DataSet
 Closing the connection immediately
 DataAdapter object can do all DML operations.
 Can Update, Delete, Insert data
