populate array with sql table data vb.net

[Sharon]

hello,

I wanted to populate an array with the data from sql table, but not
sure how to go about it.

This is the array iam using at present, but i dont want to provide the
values. Instead i want to query them from sql table t_holidays.

Dim HolidayList() As Date = {#7/4/2006#, #7/6/2006#, #7/13/2006#,
#7/19/2006#, #12/24/2006#, #12/25/2006#, #12/29/2006#, #1/1/2007#}

Any suggestions how to go about this one. Your time is greatly
appreciated.

cheers, Sharon.

Simple example (i assume you have basic knowledge about ADO.NET)

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim dates As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of DateTime) = GetDates()

End Sub

Private Const ConnectionString As String =
"server=ServerName;uid=UserName;password=Password; database=DatebaseName"

Private Function GetDates() As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of DateTime)

Dim result As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of DateTime)
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim command As New SqlCommand("select DateColumn FROM TableName WHERE
Condition", connection)
Dim reader As SqlDataReader

Try

connection.Open()
reader = command.ExecuteReader()

While reader.Read()
result.Add(reader.GetDateTime(0))
End While

Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
Finally
connection.Dispose()
End Try

Return result

End Function

End Class

Howdy,

i automatically assumed you were using framework 2.0. Please use
System.Collections.ArrayList instead of
System.Collections.Generic.List(Of DateTime)
