6 USEFUL COMMON CLASS AND METHODS
using System.Data.SqlClient;
string query= “SELECT * FROM Student”;
ConnectionString Gets or sets the string used to open a SQL Server database.
It is a path of database location.
string ConString= “Data Source=DESKTOP-254C50Q;Initial
Catalog=DB1;Integrated Security=True”
SqlConnection con = new The C# SqlConnection class handles database connections.
SqlConnection(ConString); It initiates a connection to your SQL database.
You need to call Open() on the SqlConnection instance before using it in an
SqlCommand.
SqlCommand cmd = new It executes SQL commands on a database.
SqlCommand (query, con); It sends an SQL command to a database that is specified by an
SqlConnection object.
Needs cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() if the query is submission query.
7 USEFUL COMMON CLASS AND METHODS
using System.Data.SqlClient;
string query= “SELECT * FROM Student”;
SqlDataReader reader = SqlDataReader class in C# is used to read data from the SQL Server database
cmd.ExecuteReader(); in the most efficient manner. It reads data in the forward-only direction.
It means once it reads a record, it will then read the next record; there is no
way to go back and read the previous record.
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter in C# bridges a DataSet or DataTable and a Data Source
SqlDataAdapter(query, con); (SQL Server Database) to retrieve data.
-------------------------------------- It is a class that represents a set of SQL commands and a database
DataTable dt = new connection.
DataTable(); It is used to fill the DataSet or DataTable and update the data source as well.
adapter.Fill(dt); Fill(DataSet): a method in SqlDataAdapter class that used to add rows in the
DataSet to match those in the data source.

Console.WriteLine("USING SQLDATAADAPTER | DATA TABLE");
//Active and Open connection is not required
//dt.Rows: Gets the collection of rows that belong to this table
//DataRow: Represents a row of data in a DataTable.
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
//Accessing using string Key Name
Console.WriteLine(row["Name"] + ", " + row["StudID"] + ", " + row["Gender"]);
//Accessing using integer index position
//Console.WriteLine(row[0] + ", " + row[1] + ", " + row[2]);
}
Console.WriteLine("---------------");
