FreshBooksCommand Class
Represents a SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against FreshBooks.
Syntax
Remarks
The FreshBooksCommand class provides the following methods for executing commands against FreshBooks:
Item Description
ExecuteReader Executes commands that return rows.
Devart.Common.DbCommandBase.ExecutePageReader Returns a specific subset of rows when paging through the results of a query.
ExecuteNonQuery Executes SQL commands such as INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE.
ExecuteScalar Retrieves a single value (for example, an aggregate value) from a data source.

If execution of the command results in a fatal FreshBooksException, the FreshBooksConnection may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

Example
The following example uses the ExecuteReader method of FreshBooksCommand, along with FreshBooksDataReader and FreshBooksConnection, to select rows from a table.
public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT Id, LastName FROM Client";
  FreshBooksConnection freshbooksConnection = new FreshBooksConnection(myConnString);
  FreshBooksCommand freshbooksCommand = new FreshBooksCommand(mySelectQuery,freshbooksConnection);
  freshbooksConnection.Open();
  FreshBooksDataReader freshbooksReader = freshbooksCommand.ExecuteReader();
  try
  {
    while (freshbooksReader.Read())
    {
      Console.WriteLine(freshbooksReader.GetString(0) + ", " + freshbooksReader.GetString(1));
    }
  }
  finally
  {
  // always call Close when done reading.
  freshbooksReader.Close();
  // always call Close when done reading.
  freshbooksConnection.Close();
  }
}
Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT Id, LastName FROM Client"
  Dim freshbooksConnection As New FreshBooksConnection(myConnString)
  Dim freshbooksCommand As New FreshBooksCommand(mySelectQuery, freshbooksConnection)
  freshbooksConnection.Open()
  Dim freshbooksReader As FreshBooksDataReader = freshbooksCommand.ExecuteReader()
  Try
    While freshbooksReader.Read()
      Console.WriteLine(freshbooksReader.GetString(0) + ", " _
        + freshbooksReader.GetString(1))
    End While
  Finally
      ' always call Close when done reading.
      freshbooksReader.Close()
      ' always call Close when done with connection.
      freshbooksConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
