Devart.Data.PostgreSql Namespace / PgSqlDataReader Class / Close Method
Example

Close Method (PgSqlDataReader)
Closes the PgSqlDataReader object.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Sub Close() 
 
Remarks
You must explicitly call the Close method after you have finished working with the PgSqlDataReader in order to use the associated PgSqlConnection for any other purpose.
Example
The following example creates a PgSqlConnection, a PgSqlCommand, and a PgSqlDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it out to the console. Finally, the example closes the PgSqlDataReader, then the PgSqlConnection.
public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept";
  PgSqlConnection pgConnection = new PgSqlConnection(myConnString);
  PgSqlCommand pgCommand = new PgSqlCommand(mySelectQuery,pgConnection);
  pgConnection.Open();
  PgSqlDataReader pgReader;
  pgReader = pgCommand.ExecuteReader();
  // Always call Read before accessing data.
  while (pgReader.Read()) {
    Console.WriteLine(pgReader.GetInt32(0) + ", " + pgReader.GetString(1));
  }
  // always call Close when done reading.
  pgReader.Close();
  // Close the connection when done with it.
  pgConnection.Close();
}
Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept"
  Dim pgConnection As New PgSqlConnection(myConnString)
  Dim pgCommand As New PgSqlCommand(mySelectQuery, pgConnection)
  pgConnection.Open()
  Dim pgReader As PgSqlDataReader
  pgReader = pgCommand.ExecuteReader()
  ' Always call Read before accessing data.
  While pgReader.Read()
    Console.WriteLine(pgReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " _
      + pgReader.GetString(1))
  End While
  ' always call Close when done reading.
  pgReader.Close()
  ' Close the connection when done with it.
  pgConnection.Close()
End Sub
