ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior) Method

On this page

Sends the CommandText to the Connection, and builds a MySqlDataReader using one of the System.Data.CommandBehavior values.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#


'Declaration Public Overloads Shadows Function ExecuteReader( _ ByVal behavior As CommandBehavior _ ) As MySqlDataReader


public new MySqlDataReader ExecuteReader( CommandBehavior behavior )

Parameters

behavior: One of the System.Data.CommandBehavior values.

Return Value

A MySqlDataReader object.

Remarks

When FetchAll property is false the following restriction takes place. While the MySqlDataReader is in use, the associated MySqlConnection is busy serving the MySqlDataReader. While in this state, no operations can be performed on the MySqlConnection except closing. This is the case until the MySqlDataReader.Close method of the MySqlDataReader is called.

Example

The following example creates a MySqlCommand, then executes it by passing a string that is SQL SELECT statement, and a string to use to connect to the data source. The System.Data.CommandBehavior is then set to CloseConnection.

csharp


public void CreateMySqlDataReader(string mySelectQuery,string myConnectionString) { MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection(myConnectionString); MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection); myCommand.Connection.Open(); MySqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); while(myReader.Read()) { Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetString(0)); } myReader.Close(); }

public void CreateMySqlDataReader(string mySelectQuery,string myConnectionString)
{
  MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection(myConnectionString);
  MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection);
  myCommand.Connection.Open();
  MySqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
  while(myReader.Read())
  {
    Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetString(0));
  }
  myReader.Close();
}

Visual Basic


Public Sub CreateMySqlDataReader(mySelectQuery As String, _ myConnectionString As String) Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnectionString) Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection) myCommand.Connection.Open() Dim myReader As MySqlDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) While myReader.Read() Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetString(0)) End While myReader.Close() End Sub

Public Sub CreateMySqlDataReader(mySelectQuery As String, _
myConnectionString As String)
  Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnectionString)
  Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
  myCommand.Connection.Open()
  Dim myReader As MySqlDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
  While myReader.Read()
    Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetString(0))
  End While
  myReader.Close()
End Sub
