fill dataset from Sql Server stored procedure?

[Rich]

I have a stored procedure on Sql Server2k. I can fill a data table which I
can append to a dataset using an ADODB recordset object which gets populated
from a command object that runs the sp. I was hoping to use a DataAdapter.
But I think the data adapter only uses select statements. I could write the
sp in my vb.net app, but the sp references UDF's I wrote in the Sql Sever. I
will guess that I will need to stick with the ADODB recordset object for
this. But I am open to any better suggestions on how to fill the
datatable/dataset with the data from the stored procedure.

Thanks,
Rich

OK. Now I remember my dilema. ADO.Net doesn't use recordset objects. So
how can I fill my data table/dataset from a stored procedure?

Of course, the SqlDataReader. It's all coming back to me. Just haven't done
this for a while. Actually, I want to populate a datagrid with this. So I
am thinkin I will populate the datatable from the Reader object and set the
datagrid datasource to the datatable. Am I on track here? can a reader be
used as a datasource?

Hi,
I am not an expert, but set the CommandType
to StoredProcedure.
CommandText to your StoredProc name.
I was hoping to use a DataAdapter.
But I think the data adapter only uses select statements

DataAdapter has Select, Insert and Delete statements.

Then, DataAdapter.Fill(DataTable)
Of course, Connection must be open.
Hope that helps,
Roger

The following code will connect to an SQL Server 2000 database, retrieve
records from a table, fill a dataset, and bind the dataset to a datagrid
object.

dim conn as SqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Data
Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial Catalog=northwind")

dim da as SqlDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT CustomerID,
ContactName FROM Customers", thisConnection)

dim ds as dataset = new DataSet

da.Fill(ds, "Customers")
datagrid1.datasource = ds
datagrid1.databind

It isn't necessary to call the databind method if you're creating a Windows
Forms application, but is required for ASP.NET.

Oops.. when converting this code from C# to VB.NET, I missed changing
"thisconnection" to "conn". Change that and the code should work.

Rich,

When you combine the answers from Roger and Steve, than you have your
answer,

Actually, I ended up using a datareader to load the data from the stored
procedure and then loaded a datatable in a dataset from the datareader and
binded that to the datagrid. My question is if it is possible to use a
dataAdapter with a stored procedure? I don't think it is, is it?

Rich,

Here is an example. Note that this particular stored procedure requires a
parameter. Also note that this code uses OleDb objects, but you can easily
change it to use SQLClient:

Public Function GetRentedTapesByCustomerID(ByVal CustomerID As Integer)
As DataTable

Dim cn As OleDb.OleDbConnection = Settings.GetConnection()
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim dt As New DataTable
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.CommandText = "RentedTapesByCustomerID"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", CustomerID)
cn.Open()
cmd.Connection = cn
da.SelectCommand = cmd
da.Fill(dt)
cn.Close()

Return dt

End Function

why recode for what is already coded? use a data adapter it will do all the
reader work and such for you... using a reader to do it alone is dangerous
because you can only have one open at once and have to make sure you close
it when done, etc...

Thanks all for your replies. I didn't think the datareader was the way to
go. Also, I broke down and used the SqlDataAdapter wizard. It had stored
procedures as an optioin (I am such a lamo). Anyway, now the explanations
all make sense. Everything working OK, finally.

Thanks all for your help.
