Hello,
I am trying to write C# code (for an ASP.NET 2.0 page) that will query an
SQL database.
Every tutorial I find online always says "don't write code, drag and drop
the server controls", such as the dataSource and bind it to a control.
The problem is, I don't want to drag and drop, I want to do it via code. I
have a connection already made, and I want to, via code, run an SQL select
to get the next available ID number from a table and store it in a variable
for futher processing.
Can anyone point me to something that will show me how to do this? Do I need
to create a new datasource to execute my query?
Thanks,
Brett 3 8027
Certainly you can do it without the "widgets".
1) create a SqlConnection
2) create a SqlCommand and assign the connection to it.
3) call the appropriate method of the SqlCommand object, supplying whatever
required parameters are necessary.
It "sounds" like you want ExecuteScalar, since you only want to get back a
single item. Provided the Sql Statement or stored proc is correct, that's
what you'll get.
Peter

Thanks Peter,
I was thinking it was something similiar to that, but I wasn't sure if there
was a "new" way to do it in version 2.0.
I'll give it a try. Thanks again!
