In the old days, using ADO, I used to be able to move up and down in a
resultset, but using functions like MoveNext, MoveFirst, MoveLast,
MovePrev. I don't see any of that in the SQLDataReader object. It
seems I can only move through it sequentially. Is that true?

Dom,
Yes, that is true. The SqlDataReader (or any class that derives from
DbDataReader, really) is meant for forward-only, read-only access.
If you want to move through a set of data, then you will need to load
the data into a DataTable, through a DbDataAdapter derivative (in this case,
SqlDataAdapter) and then you can cycle through the rows in any way that you
wish.
Mind you that doing it in this way is going to be the equivalent of
setting the cursor location on an ADODB Recordset to adUseClient, and then
loading the data statically (adOpenStatic). Basically, the DataTable is an
in-memory representation of the result set.

Thanks for clarifying this. BTW, you've answered so many of my
questions, I feel like you're my private tutor.

How do you get all the values of a sqldatareader if it

Using sqldatareader.nextresult and sqldatareader.read

I have a function that populates a class with values from a database. I'd
like to pass into the function either a SqlDataReader or a DataRow,
depending on which mechanism I'm using to retrieve data from the database.
However, the two classes don't appear to have any common interfaces that
would allow me to enumerate the fields. Yet, when you databind you can pass
either of these classes (as well as many others) and .NET somehow knows how...

Why is SqlDataReader not present in visual studios Toolbox->Data where
I find components like DataSet? Most examples in books and in vs.net
are based on datasets but using disconnected tables seems a bit
heavyweight for most purposes. I there some particular reason to stay
away from sqldatareader??
I have managed to bind components using sqldatareader but digging up
the
information was quite hard.

I have a funtion that works fine and dandy when called from anywhere in my
app. It will NOT work when called from inside the class in which it resides.
This is the function I'm calling: "getProductByID(productID)" from inside
another method in the same class. See below.
This line throws a null ref exception:
While dr.Read()
Thanks for any insight!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
