Devart.Data.MySql Namespace / MySqlDataReader Class / Read Method
Example

Read Method (MySqlDataReader)
Advances the MySqlDataReader to the next record.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Function Read() As Boolean
 

Return Value

true if there are more rows; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The default position of the MySqlDataReader is prior to the first record. Therefore, you must call Read to begin accessing any data.

While the MySqlDataReader is in use, the associated MySqlConnection is busy serving it until you call Close.

Example
The following example creates a MySqlConnection, a MySqlCommand, and a MySqlDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it out to the console. Finally, the example closes the MySqlDataReader, then the MySqlConnection.
public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept";
  MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection(myConnString);
  MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery,myConnection);
  myConnection.Open();
  MySqlDataReader myReader;
  myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
  // Always call Read before accessing data.
  while (myReader.Read()) {
    Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0) + ", " + myReader.GetString(1));
  }
  // always call Close when done reading.
  myReader.Close();
  // Close the connection when done with it.
  myConnection.Close();
}
Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept"
  Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnString)
  Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  Dim myReader As MySqlDataReader
  myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
  ' Always call Read before accessing data.
  While myReader.Read()
    Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " _
      + myReader.GetString(1))
  End While
  ' always call Close when done reading.
  myReader.Close()
  ' Close the connection when done with it.
  myConnection.Close()
End Sub
