ExecuteReader Example in Asp.Net using C#,VB.NET

Sep 21, 2012
Introduction:
 
In this article I will explain ExecuteReader example in asp.net using C#.net and VB.NET

Description:

In previous post I explained ExecuteScalar Example, ExecuteNonQuery Example and differences between ExecuteNonQuery, ExecuteReader and ExecuteScalar in asp.net. Now I will explain ExecuteReader concept with one example in asp.net using C#.net, VB.NET

ExecuteReader

Execute Reader will be used to return the set of rows, on execution of SQL Query or Stored procedure using command object. This one is forward only retrieval of records and it is used to read the table values from first to last.

Before implement this example first design one table UserInformation in your database as shown below

Column Name
Data Type
Allow Nulls
UserName
varchar(50)
Yes
LastName
varchar(50)
Yes
Location
Varchar(50)
Yes
Once table designed in database enter some dummy data to test after that write the following code in your aspx page 


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Example of ExecuteReader in asp.net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<b>Bind Gridview with ExecuteReader command object Data</b><br /><br />
<asp:GridView ID="gvUserInfo" runat="server">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White"/>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now add the following namespaces in code behind

C# Code


using System;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;
After add namespaces write the following code in code behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridview();
}
}

// This method is used to bind gridview from database
protected void BindGridview()
{
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB"))
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select UserName,LastName,Location FROM UserInformation", con);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
gvUserInfo.DataSource = dr;
gvUserInfo.DataBind();
con.Close();
}
}
VB.NET Code

Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data

Partial Class VBCode
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
BindGridview()
End If
End Sub

' This method is used to bind gridview from database
Protected Sub BindGridview()
Using con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB")
con.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("Select UserName,LastName,Location FROM UserInformation", con)
Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
gvUserInfo.DataSource = dr
gvUserInfo.DataBind()
con.Close()
End Using
End Sub
End Class
Demo

If you observe above code I written select query like getting all the data from UserInfromation table but whenever we click on button we are getting only one value (First Row First Column value) and ignoring other row and column values.

Hi Suresh,

This is regarding post of Execute Data Reader in asp.net. I want to tell you something and also want to know if we use using (sqlconnection con = new sqlconn........)
then we have to open the connection but don't have to close it. Am I right or not ???
Please clearify with explanation.

you are not even using 3 tier structure and didnt even use parameters... this is a poor example which will create lots of coupling..

Suresh Dasari said...

Here we are not explaining about 3 tier structure or sending parameter we are explaining about ExecuteReader concept with example to make people understand concept easily....
