Devart.Common Namespace / DbDataTable Class / SelectCommand Property
Example

SelectCommand Property (DbDataTable)
Gets or sets a SQL statement used to select records in the data source.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property SelectCommand As DbCommand
 

Property Value

An System.Data.IDbCommand that is used during a fill operation to select records from the data source for placement in the DbDataTable.
Remarks

SelectCommand uses its own Connection if it is created. Otherwise SelectCommand uses Connection property.

If the SelectCommand property is not set, DbDataTable generates necessary SQL statements automatically.

Example
This sample shows how to use DbDataTable. The routine accepts DbDataTable-compatible object, IDbCommand implementor object, and IDbConnection implementor object as parameters. After SQL query text has been set the data is retrieved from the table.
public void UseDataTable(DbDataTable myDataTable, DbCommand myCommand, DbConnection myConnection)
{
  myDataTable.Connection = myConnection;
  myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Test.Dept";
  myDataTable.SelectCommand = myCommand;
  try
  {
    myDataTable.Active = true;
    foreach(DataRow myRow in myDataTable.Rows)
    {
      foreach(DataColumn myCol in myDataTable.Columns)
      {
        Console.Write(myRow[myCol]+"\t");
      }
      Console.WriteLine();
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    myDataTable.Active = false;
  }
}
Public Sub UseDataTable(ByVal myDataTable As DbDataTable, ByVal myCommand As DbCommand, ByVal myConnection As DbConnection)
  myDataTable.Connection = myConnection
  myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Test.Dept"
  myDataTable.SelectCommand = myCommand
  Try
    myDataTable.Active = True
    Dim myRow As DataRow
    Dim myCol As DataColumn
    For Each myRow In myDataTable.Rows
      For Each myCol In myDataTable.Columns
        Console.Write(myRow(myCol) & Chr(9))
      Next myCol
      Console.WriteLine()
    Next myRow
  Finally
    myDataTable.Active = False
  End Try
End Sub
